  1. right....break it down... * pedal stroke * brake release * body movement Rock onto the back wheel with your brakes locked. when your bike is at a relative angle to the ground of around 45*, ratchet your good ( or chocolate foot ) ready to kick. Release the rear, kick, and jump forwards and up, grab the brake again and lower the bike. To see the move in a video click here To see an alternative explanation click here Any problems, msn me.
  2. if it were me...id change the freewheel to a tensile or rockman, and the brake pads to some cnc'd cousts
  3. i run a 90 x 10* tryall 25.4 stem....with a pair of mid rise alloy dmr wingbars 1cm stacker as well.
  4. depends if you abuse the shit out of it or not....
  5. 18psi raer....20 front...stock, highroller single ply front, dual ply maxxis rear.... 67kg
  6. thats on a continental...he's talking about the kenda
  7. erm just got back from holiday yesterday word has it...so i hope he'll be out riding with us soon?
  8. basically, should be coming up to kent a few times quite soon...so i was just wondering if there were any riders local to where ill be..
  9. SS kit form chainreaction.... or get a 2nd hand bike off here, £200 will get you barely anything brand new....massive mistake in my opinion
  10. how far are the pads away from the rim? are you bleeding with the tpa dialled in? are the pads moving as soon as you pull the lever?
  11. mon trials are plenty powerful enough...tried a bigger rotor? bad blled? contam'd pads? it works fine.... joe seddon used one for ages with a grind yup, more leverage off the hub. KInda controversial that... less pad material would result in more pressure if you think about it, although large3r pads woulkd have a bigger surface for stopping and heat dissipation. Nope....it works fine, takes a very weak rim to be crushed by a magura.
  12. nicely done billiam...could have done with so music though i reckon
  13. its really true he rides my coust so well
  14. er the one nathie linked me to is ruber queen weight? 800/900 if i remember correctly...
  15. sounds like it was already crossthreaded...pretty hard to actually rip the thread out
  16. probably be easier just to get a bmx dude...or lay off the spins, most modern trials frames aren't really meant to handle abuse in that direction Anyway, you noticed how many different coloured inspired's danny mac rode in that infamous video? Methinks he went through a fair few of them..... Onza Limey really wouldnt be a good idea, thats a pretty much comp specific bike. either BMX or maybe a custom marino frame? that way you can always weld it if it starts to go....or just specify butting in that place
  17. depends what discs...as far as i know, very few discs are sealed and therefore need a syringe, most ther systems operate using a reservoir.
  18. hope in my experience are pure gash...they always seem to die... id say go cable disc ( bb7 ) myself
  19. basically...nathie wafie says they're amazing.... and ali c and bigman hate them i was going to buy one a couple of nights ago,but ive been really put off one now
  20. looks mint only thing id change are the wee cranks and tiny stem...apart from that though, tis lush
  21. mate of mines just got one...rides really nice, just feels like a smaller version of my coust i likes it.....
  22. yeh it was a bit brutal was james davies.... it hit the lil helmet tighten dial thingy
  23. thanks man beasty tap from you there thankeeee but i cant keep up with half of em
