  1. Onza sticky fingers are horrid... The Try-all probably wear down the fastest so I'm not sure why they'd be good for a beginner? IF anything the "full time rider" should use Maxxis or Continental. Maxxis are pretty good, but the continental are just that little bit superior in pretty much every way I've found Lighter
  2. Any idea how much camping will be, and if there is any still available?
  3. Echo tyres are extremely heavy, not all that grippy and pretty dead. Definitely worth changing to Creepy Crawlers. The Echo TR bars are risers ...sooo if you're talking about the Urban bars or any other Echo flat bars I'd say change to a set of Monty 221ti/Viz pro 720/ Try-all No-war
  4. Either you took a break...or you had one hell of a growth spurt!
  5. Snapped three calipers. I'd use dual mono trials, even though my experiences of them haven't been amazing.
  6. Exactly what Nick says..that's how I bled mine
  7. They puncture reallly easily, and they aren't massively grippy. I recommend a Maxxis DH tyre for a budget, or a Continental Der Kaiser/Rain King.
  8. Great video Really enjoyed that man But...could you please tell me where those spots were?! I've never been to any of them!
  9. got pure forks, echo stem...and thats about all I can tell. Im gonna guess 9.3? Weights pretty important for me...as I'm damn small for the bike I ride
  10. Calling you out on that... Clearly an Onza t-bird tha\ts been hacked to shit. Plus the seatstay looks far too clean a break
  11. YES....i wouldn't go back from horizontal now, works ace, perfect tension all the time
  12. Washing up liquid...water...rinse and repeat
  13. I'll have a bash for you if ye want.....upload to Vimeo in the best res. possible as one big clip then give me the download link on msn alexdark2(at)hotmail.co.uk
  14. HS33 slaves, RB lever, Coustsink pads, braided cross over. Front 185mm old bb7 with XTR lever and linear slic
  15. To accomodate the masseive rear tyre the rim diameter was changed to give the same effective diameter for both wheels including tyre. This was attempted for stock by Monty with their 25" rear wheel, but this never really caught on. Probably due to riders reluctance to stop using high volume MTB tyres which more than suffice, whereas with mod there are no real suitable tyres other than real trials specifics
  16. Change cranks bash and freewheel and it'll be a very nice steed Looks tidy as is.
  17. Haven't seen that one....got the AAA one though ( access all areas ) when he's on the justice and the planet-x
  18. Alex Dark

    New Hs33 Brake

    Just looks like the old hs22? Fail in my eyes....looks shit, really bulky.
  19. Working link here
  20. I agree totally with Chin.....Trialtechs would be better, or ideally some viz pro720/monty ti/ try-all rage bars. My Try-all NUC stem is perfect on my coust V2 ( +40, 1117, 380 )
  21. Music was just.... Not into it. Riding was good , but prefered your last video Edit was better I reckon though...
  22. The truvativ hussefelts and the DMR wing bars feel pretty nice on a trials bike....otherwise I'd say go for trials specfic. Monty 221ti, Viz pro 720, try-all nowar are all good choices with nice geometry
