  1. i do the same thing....for your pash id buy a fairly cheap 100mm long stem with a bit of rise..then pick up some nice risers like some try-alls
  2. The try-alls are known to explode..that doesnt mean it will though! Tensile are the best budget option, with enos being pretty much the best of the best if you can afford it
  3. get one fo those cheapy chrome shimano ones...my fake hope skewers slip like a b!tch..so much so that if i go to bash ( freewheel) quite hard my rear wheel used to drop out!
  4. echo are probably better than try-all for mod.....but for stock its a different story as there's quite a big weight difference you can lace a 36h hub to a 32 rim..but it isnt worth the hassle, just get a 36h rim
  5. unless you're severly physically retarded...skill is more important, its more like 70% skill, 30% strength
  6. Erm...ive got the same brakes, and i can fix the tpa for you..whereabouts in cornwall do you live, if you come to plymy or close to me ( losty ) ill do it for free
  7. yeh..good beginner bikes but if you've got the money try and pick up something like the one in my sig..04pitbull, £50 posted i bought it for,,and i really like it
  8. waters the best substance to bleed with in my opinion....it offers great response, doesnt have a detrimental effect on brakes, and is easily sourcable when needing to be replaced!
  9. im in the same boat unfortunately ... ive been looking for ages for a freewrae video editor, download.com, tucows, softpedia...and i cant find one that hasnt got some kind of stupid restriction on ...or isnt just plain rubbish!
  10. erm...ive always wnated to ride at my college, but you get booted off straight away
  11. most things will suit for a front hub to be honest, i think pretty much as light as possible really, the planet -x hub ^^ looks pretty good value for the money
  12. if you want a £400 stock, either buy something second hand off here...or look at the new onza range...especially at the coust / rex copy ones
  13. i personally prefer a rear magura....but zermatts disk is awesome, the only real con as i see it is the vulnerability and initial outlay to get a good setup

    Bigman Shed MK2

    i wish i had somewhere like that to ride!
  15. onza woodstock? zebdi? pashley? levelboss 1065...theres quite a few
  16. the sd7 levers i think are pretty much the best, i dont think the single digit sl levers are any better performance wise to be honest
  17. clean the rim with white spirit, and sand your pads down a wee bit in case either is/was contaminated
  18. they are very similar to be honest...but id always go for an onza over the shogun ( as falcon cycles hardly have the best reputation )
  19. zoo pads are supposed to work pretty well on a smooth rim...im using koxx browns at the moment as a front brake, as i do stoppies...buts its really personal preference; i think koolstops work the best
  20. its gone: silver, black, white soo....next i think will be real colours, green, blue orange etc...we havent had trials bikes done in "proper" colours for a long while
  21. hhmm..i trust the brand of mr.muscle you'll have to give me a free sample
  22. looks fit there...but after haviing a ride on it ive realised i really dont like front ends that low!...mind you, i have got 2cm of stackers on mine with a 30* stem, which is a bit of overkill for a +35mm bb rise bike! Yours is a beast on the back wheel though
  23. god knows...maybe he wnats a more streety rig? Seems like abit of a downgrade to me though
  24. search works wonders when you use it, eh? http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26
  25. why thankyou! If anyone wants stuff de-anodised and cant be bothered...drop me a pm and ill do it for a reasonable price!
