  6. Base ta26 built up cheaply? http://bikes4trials.com/products.php?plid=...26_Wheel_Trials ERm...colours a bit :sick but tis a pretty good bike, would be ok for dj, street and could do some trials as well....
  7. As above really...getting my new pitbull in about a weeks time, but the downtube is fairly bashed....and id like to also stop it from getting more dents So....does anyone have any ideas as to how to go about making one? materials, etc? I have made one from checker plate with some rubber behind it, but that didnt give much protection.....
  8. What are the best pads for wet weather riding with a grind....? are there any that'll work ok in the wet without a grind?
  9. Im guessing they would , but before i go up to Cwmcarn again with me shiny rims on, i just want to know if anyones done this before, and whether it's sensible......
  10. I dont ride trials much in the winter, due to zero brakes and b**ger all traction...so instead i ride dh... .and get plastered in mud
  11. Yeh..ill do it a bit later...got a lecture now
  12. liking the mod bikes hoooge air off the table!
  13. A zero bb rise bike is awesome for some trialsy stuff....trials can be done on virtually any bike, even if it does have a seat and a bouncy bit at the front!
  14. She's a beast!......not too into huge bb rise...buts its still pretty sweet to ride.....
  15. I've got an 820...which is v. similar...i learnt trials on that....only problem was i put rigid forks on a susp frame ; ... so i ended with -30 bb....fun

  18. Heres my woodstock: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/1599147/ and... http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/1599145/
  19. Plymouth? I go riding there and i dont think its all that great to be honest......
  20. Right...zoo it is i think...thanks for the help...ill be parting with money today!
  21. I think that trials has to branch out more......its already started...people are putting street moves into their riding, making the lines flow with less jerky hopping based moves.... Look at akrigg. lenosky etc they both have awesome style...it just seems to me that trials riders are starting to lose their individuality, so many people are riding deng based / inspired bikes and just trying to go farther, higher, more etc.... im not saying this is a bad thing, as its just natural progression towards the best bikes for the task but i think we need to see some more style, it also helps make trials look better to the spectator, flowing individualistic moves and lines are the way forwards in my opinion!
  22. Basically Im just wondering which of the above is the better bike for street trials riding? Both very similar condition, very similar price (around £50)..... I want something i can still 360, 180 drop off , front wheel hop do various street moves, bunnyhop etc.... while getting the advantages of a long trials specific frame ( better on the back wheel, gap farther etc ) i dearly love my Woodstock but its quite sketchy on the back wheel, and i cant gap very far on it.....( yes i have tried longer frames and yes i have seen an improvement in my riding in certain areas, before someone goes on a tirade about it not being the bike but the rider ! Help! im really stuck....... .....( yes, i have tried longer frames and yes, i have seen an improvement in my riding in certain areas; before someone goes on a tirade about it not being the bike but the rider ! ) Please post asap!
