  1. I'd say the smallest hifi stem, so 110 by 10* i think.
  2. select is on of the best shops over here, yes it is trials uk with the bad rep now. A front echo rim on the back should be fine.
  3. Ideally you want a strong, lightweight rim. Ideally 32 hole with thick sidewalls(lightweight, holds grinds / doesn't dent easily ) . Make sure you have a nice tight build though, preferably with brass nipples due to the high amounts of truing that can come with riding trials. To be honest you're best off getting either a try-all or echo rear rim, the using pretty much anything light over 25mm wide on the front. As for tyres id say minimum 2.00" on the front; 2.3" on the back...maximum, 2.35" front, 2.5" rear. Try talking to Trisandhisbt on here, he's from the Northants. I used to live there as well, and ill be up for a week or so at Easter.
  4. goo shit, man...easily your best video; and frame seems to suit your style. in conclusion, good shit
  5. id personally go for a front echo rim...insane strength, but lighter and more likely to fit. If this is still too wide, yoi can easily use tensile offset mounts for your maguras, to nring the slaves farther away from the rim Most people'll probably tell you to get an alexdx32 for that build though.
  6. yes....for example the largest hifi stem ( used on the +55 adamant, typhoon etc ) is basically a mod stem... Although for a t-rex you'd be best looking at a 110 mm stem, probably 15* rise
  7. Usually im all fo people having a go...but at least get a decent amount of footage
  8. HS22's ***....got a mint pair, theyr're lush
  9. a guy in plymouth has got one, near identical geo to my zenith...lovely bikes; ride awesome, and very light
  10. i know..im ashamed to call myself a trials rider :$
  11. magura mineral oil will do fine...although as that is pricy; you can use citroen clutch fluid ( exactloy the same stuff, although im not too sure how easy the latter would be to buy out where you are ).
  12. I personally say: Rear magura or front bb7 Front vee is sometimes better if you're not particular bothered about modulation. But for me this just isnt an option; as i have to ride 4 miles to the station every week...and a lot's downhill. kind of interesting when your front brake decided that it wants to bite and hold instead of slow you down.
  13. nah its my bad, forgot about the whole no buy/sell in NMC ...ill drop him a comment instead...
  14. I'd personally say more like 80 - 20...biased towards technique
  15. ideal hopefully see you there then
  16. 03? fook me.... hadn't even heard of trials back then
  17. Id say silver hope's and some white rim tape would make it a tad better IMO
  18. im going to assume they meant a tree that wasnt standing upright?
  19. its defintely good for £200 complete, probably even better value than the onza range?
  20. and i can only backwheel half a snowman
  21. nah, forecast sunny get some other people to come if you can
  22. Anyone up for it? ill bring the camera so we'll get some filming done
  23. yeh to be honest they wprk fine....i have seen one pair break though. fine for the money i would say
