  1. try-all tyres offer amazing grip, but not great wear rate...whereas creepys or echos give brilliant wear rate, but not as good grip
  2. giants are lovely bikes.....some riders absolutely love them; really street geo, perfect for manually- bunnyhoppy trials
  3. generally shorter and narrower bars with more rise gives a more streety feel.....longer stem, wider bars lower rise is more for backwheely stuff the 04 and 05 pitbull arent a million miles away in terms of geo...i run, on mine, tryall replica bars, 110 x 10* stem with 1cm of stem stackers and i really like it...ive tried loads of stem and bar combos ( 8 to date ) and nothings worked as well as this
  4. i cant stand having a shit brake to be honest...it just boosts my confidenece when i know ive got a decent amount of stopping power!
  5. right...polishing a shot-peened finish isnt a great idea as the shot peening serves to strengthen it... however if you do decide to go ahead; spray some mr muscle on, agitate then polish up...basically follow my guide http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....=115931&hl=
  6. id make a 74kingz inspired one....just a traight copy with a hacksaw blade for the spring
  7. it'll feel gritty or tight...as if you can feel a bit of resistance in one spot
  8. I might be getting a frame built for me by marino bikes...and was just wondering if anyone had any cool design ideas they think would either look awesome, orbe functional or save weight.. I was thinking: integrated chain tensioner internal cable routing hole in headtube integrated booster side hop guards downtube protector lugs anything else? post your ideas or pics...all ideas welcome!

    Southend Sluts

    some shweet riding, but a slightly weird choice of tune at the start....relally liked the road trip style filiming towards the end as well

    Beau GU Clips!

    clips video is okay.....big stuff but its all tgs each to their own i suppose, good to see you riding after the unfortunate recent circumstances
  13. god, everyone gets so god damn teasy if their, or their mates bikes get "dissed" Anyway...quality build apart from the chrome stickers and gold bits..... mr muscle furniture polish for the stickers....mr muscle oven cleaner for the anodising god i sound like a mr muscle sales rep
  14. any of the dtswiss spokes really...they're all really good quality
  15. ive ran the supra rims, x2100 and x4000 rims...all brilliant, and i can only imagine the dx32 will be the same
  16. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....662&hl=zona http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....185&hl=zona And ill post apic of my mates one shortly
  17. i love my try-all rear rim ...only buckled it ( <2mm ) twice in a year and 3 months Just get a magura...denguras arent worth it in my opinion...they look pimp but just seem to leak so badly...
  18. a hifi would be way to high for that frame.... it needs around a 120 x 15* i think
  19. the stereotypical NMC reply all the koxxs ive been on have been brilliant...so stiff, light...just generally awesome * levelboss * karbon * xtp
  20. err....the maxxis creepy crawler?! the hansventure is a trials tyre as well....as it was designed by hans rey...it just has a dh casing on it
  21. chris akrigg, hermance, the cousts, the belaeys, hosel, savage
  22. theres tons of frames on here for that sort of rpice...maybe something short like an 04 pitbull, 04 pure etc
  23. just get some decent pads for a grind ( heatsink reds, neco yellows, etc ) and your magura will work fine....
  24. i saw tunni on tv as well, it was around xmas i think...on some internet highlight show on channel four as i remember
  25. has anyone been ont he easybike website? everything is one yuan ( 7pence ) even a koxx hydroxx!
