the most common one is were is your seat gone, the second most common ones is oi gtf before i call the police. i rarely see people stopping and watching you and giving you compliments. a couple off weeks ago me and a mate went into our high street cuse a local bike shop had a demo section set up outside in the high street, and as we were going to the section we bumped into a traffic warden and he told us to get off and push. we were only like a couple off meters from the section so i ran with my bike jumped on it and jumped up the pallets and dropped off in front off him he wasn't impressed but there wasn't anything he could do about it now.

use will probably all find this funny but the first time i ground my rim i used a jig saw with a metal blade cuse we never had a grinder. it worked all right till my mate snapped the blade and it hit me in the led. and all we had left was wood blades and they were gash. nothing compares to a proper grind done with a proper grinder

i had a pair of tensile bubblegums but they didn't last long but they were good while they lasted. now i have koxx blocks blues for the winter use and they appear to work well even with a sorry excuse for a grind.

i spent about £600 on my first stock the spent about £300 on a mod and have just spent about £600 on my new stock and thats atleast £400 to finish it. and the sad thing is i still have all three off them bikes.

cheers for all the help i think i will go for the pro2 cheers again.
-
cheers for the help but i had a wee look on tarty and nearly every 26" rider uses a pro2 over a chris king.

last night after just getting my bike back from getting it repaired my hub started making a unhealthy noise but i kept on riding anyway and it got worse and after checking this morning i am certain its the bb's in the hub are pooped. so now i need a new rear hub and i am considering a hope pro2, has anyone got one and are they any good.

lol i was wondering why mine was so stiff i was running a 22t to a 14t and as you can imagine it was so tight going up hill it would slip so the 14t got rounded so i stuck on my old cassette and am now using 16t but still have the option of a 14t if the 16t would do for a big gap.

cheers for the help
-
could i not use a 160 on my stock.
-
as it says in the title i need help deciding what front disk to buy and what size to get it in.

its got to be craig lee scott and neil tunniclife both magic riders. although it gets a bit annoying when you watch ones of there vids and you see them doing all that mad stuff but then that gives you more inspiration to get out and practice. i see cls made it into the sun the other day.

Helmets The Ones You Put On Your Head
paul-m- replied to dan the trials man's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
i never used to wear a helmet until i landed on my head after back wheeling a tiny wee wall, now if i don't wear mine it feels like i am riding with only one foot. i use a giro something its nice and light but strong as well. -
riding when its wet especially on wood. i cant stand it it looks fine and then you end up on your back looking at the sky. this happened to me today when i went up a 1/4 pipe, and setting up rear v-brakes with a fat 19" rear wheel, glad i have no more of that.
-
i have always been into my bikes ever since i could pick one up. i used a mountain bike thrashing down hills and then someone came up with the idea off trying to get over stuff, then one off my mates bought an onza and i was lyk wow thats the thing too have. so now i am the proud owner off 1 mod and 2 stocks and have never looked back.

Which Is Best Street Or Natural Riding?
paul-m- replied to *BOOTHY*'s topic in Beginners Trials Chat
i prefer street cause its easyer and tends to be better for riding (i dont like riding on wet stuff), but i would say if you are good at riding natural then you will be able to ride street as well. -
i wouldnt say theres none in the uk. there might not be any proper ones but up were i live theres a big old warehouse we sort off eh well broke into and r goning to put pallets init cause it rains like 90% of the year here.
-
i used to like 20" but i was told i would be better suited to 26" so i started riding ma 26" properly and haven't looked back since. so its 26" from me.
-
i have avid arch rival 40s on my now redundant 20" the levers are the ones were you can adjust them just like maggies and i must say with a sliver of tar on the rim the difference between them and my 33s was to small to notice. hope this has hepled.
-
i am going to change my cranks and don't know what ones to get. i was wondering why nearly every 26" rider chooses middleburns. can anyone give me some recommendations on what they are using.
-
don't get carried away mate at least they are trying. good effort mate keep at it
-
link worked fine for me. nice gap mate i was expecting you to land on the rail for a second.
