  1. welcome to the forum....er...an on-one gimp isnt the ideal platform for building a trials bike..as its steel and not amzing geometry for trials. If you wait a little whil you'll be validated and can pick up a cheap fairly modern stock frame ( 26" ) for around £50
  2. who's building it for you? http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/spokecalc/ or http://www.dtswiss.com/
  3. maguras over anything....amazing modulation on smooth rim, no modulation with cousts and a grind....brilliant!
  4. yep..so basically large master piston=less power... So these levers will make your brakes LESS POWERFUL
  5. erm....rear magura with some form of decent pads, eno freewheel and my pitbull frame...everything else was phone ...i think
  6. doesnt seem to be that great for the money to be honest...why should i ditch my trusty piggy in favour of this?
  7. no, he definitely did not try and break them...im cool with the guy... its fine, just annoyed at how easily they snapped though
  8. yeah but im a tolerant kinda guy...he owned up to it; said sorry and offered to help replace them...cant say fairer than that to be honest...just a bit pissed that they did snap in the first place!
  9. Basically...was riding on saturday in plmyouth all day...then went up tot eh skate park and was attemjpting to ride a bit of park...let all the bmxers have a go as usual, then this one bloke went off for a lil while and when he came back my steerer was snapped clean off the forks...."really sorry mate" sh*t....he volunteered to pay £20 towards some new ones...which isnt bad i suppose...just abit annoyed and suprised that he broke...he said he wasw only doing an endo m but how true that is id ont know... Im not a nasher really, im only 10st and i can only drop around 6ft so im not really hard on my components! Anyway...does anyone know of some senssible replacemnts for them? I really like the length of the koxx's(420mm) as they gave my 04 pitbulla nice (35mm ) bb rise. They need to be maggie mount, light and strong, stock

    or this....http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7388 or ideally this:
  11. no thanks! 9.01 train for me... Oh, by the way,are you the bloke with the orange ozonys?
  12. nah mate...ive got a pimping red bash to go with the wheels!
  13. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....p;f=13&id=3
  14. what, you havent seen a stock with FFW? i run it, ryan trott runs it, some bloke on an ozonys runs an eno.......its really quite popular! You still need a freewheel, so why wouldn't it click? an eno sounds better than a pro2 in my opinion anyway.....
  15. seems a bit mad!... does his wheel sink into the ground or is that some kind of weird kind of optical illusion?
  16. a few of us will be there at 10.01am at copthorne
  17. me!! well...i kinda forgot it was mothers day..whooops...hence sunday
  18. ...you could say that about the wiki! Yeh i guess its a good idea...but to the topic starter...just come along to plymouth tomorrow...copthorne at 10.30
  19. yepthats the one...same as tarty sell for £13
  20. that is rather strange....id say its around mid-late 90's and fairly high end ( hydroformed headtube )
  21. Bsically...got some echo cnc'd green cranks in fairly good nick...and im just wondering whether people think my bike would look better with them green or silver? Ive got somegreen zoo brake mounts,and a red gu 1/2 bash to go on the cranks. Images courtesy of tartybikes
  22. Hmm.....would one of these:http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11980 be strong enough to use as a rear hub?
  23. ive seen that before with a rear hub ...with the cog drilled and mounted to it...would itstand up to the forces? and how much are the kits?
