No selling in NMC. Either get validated and post in Classifieds, or sell elsewhere.

I use some free foam grips at the moment and love them...the best rubber grips ive ever used are some £1 pro-grip ones. To stop blisters, use some gloves and get some medium compund grips...

Well done for getting sponsored...im hoping to get some kind of sponsorship by the end of this year...I'm looking forward to some videos!

Basically disc up front is preferred because it offers all weather stopping, with high power and modulation. A magura up front normally cannot rival this power without being grabby a(and usually savagely noisy ). With hard pads and smooth rim, the magura will give th same amount of modulation but offer less power. Most trials ridders still run a maggie on the back due to the positive on / off feel some say that disc simply cannot achieve. I personally run maguras front ( on a smooth rim )and back ( with a grind ) as i like the modulation on the front, and dont really need the extra power. Im running a set of racelines, and love them. most people will agree that hs33s from this era are far better than the 05 onwards due to a far better TPA (Turbo pad adjuster ) design and sturdier bar clamp. For a list of good pads, check the pads revioew section in Trials chat.

Thats a beauty......true oldskool, what is the weight? do you have the geo as well?

sponsorship offers you money off travel to cmps aetc..its a lot more than just a sticker on a bike i think you'll find

You shouldnt really be buying and selling if you're an NM...just email him.... < clownbike; dont try and slur other peoples items

I desperately want a pashley...lovely riding trials frames, that hark back to the days of the bunny hop and seats!

They look lovely....i want one for my back wheel, and are apprently tough as nails

Cool.....thats good to know..thanks to everyone that replied!

Anyone else?

Right, sunday it is guys...drop me a pm for my mobile number so you can contact me and find where abouts we are

Very nice...im hoping to get a leeson soon for a streety rig

I love foam grips now ( thanks leon! )...soo comfy and i dont get many blisters from them, i wouldnt mind them being a bit thicker though

KMC kool chain is probably the best for the money...ive had mine for 18months now..only broke once due to me ebing a bit of an r-tard

I suppose trials could face the same arguement though!....why hurl yourself at/off a wall on a wee 20" ?

Great pictures....makes we want to go to wales again! Are there any places liek that nearer me, does anyone know? ( cornwall )

Hopefully...the definites are: Me Tim Pengelly jammy Im trying to get some more people...whats your mobile number...ill come and meet you when you get in

Sorry to hear about the wrist, was it you that took the big spill in plymouth a while ago? ( near the anchor )

Just egta kmc..around £10, or a gusset tank...noth incredibly strong budget chains...ive had my kmc for 18months now

But enarly everything was bought second hand...and things like maggies dont really go down in price if they are bought second hand...eg i bought my set for £12.50...and they're worth around £30 a pair i would have thought

Just been looking back at how much ive spent on my zoo and was wondering if i sold it now euld i be able to draw even? just a bit of curiosity and i am NOT looking to sell ! Ive spent £318 Pitbull 04 frame Tryall yourself bars tensile FFW tensile cranks FSA bb V8s toxin stem fsa headset KMC kool chain Tryall rims on mission hubs Hs33s all round Koxx forxx I was thinking around £350?

Why not?

We'll see what the weathers looking like tomorrow then ill decide

The old one was awesome....one of mates rode one for over a year and learnt practically everything on it...great bike, and from the sounds of it the new ones even better!
