Haha thats funny Onza must think trials riders are stupid, It must be cheaper to buy the T-Pro and buy the extra's?

Well worst thing has got to be either puncher and exploding brakes,really annoys me when your having a really good days ride and suddenly you hear a fast hissing noise or the crack of your back when you come flying off because your brake has exploded. That's my day ruined when that happens but like Martin Ashton said in the MBUK this month, "Even if you think your having a bad day your always learning something new just being out". You got to love that man complete and utter ledgend .. Dave

Hi mate Brisa carbon bars?, Never heard of them but i do have normal Brisa bars and i love them. Just the right rise and they dont stress your arms like some bars do when you ride. Hope this helps you mate goodluck

I use electrical tape on my echo rims looks very nice and its alot cheap aswell. hi just read reply on that: If you put it so none sticky side is down once you've gone round once it sticks to its seft, cut it off ,then go around ontop of that bit of tape with sticky side down so you dont have a problem of the innertube sticking to the tape or rim. This means easier to clean and it doesnt look all scabby wen it gets dirty and its easy to clean. Hope this help you all Dave.

Yes i agree, i got ZOO 07 and it has improved my trials amazingly, i can blunt up to 3 inches higher and geometry is lovely i love my sexy beast! ZOO all the way!

Wear chavy bottoms really comfortable and light but thats the only chav thing us riders should wear lol!!

haha comedy mate nice for sticking up for the new guys, i rode saracen to start there wicked bikes, goodluck riding. p.s. snaps easy around BB watch out for that!

Sorry Administrators how do i close post!?

If your discs are not up to standard please try this. Tools: Cable ties Clean cloths Brake cleaner Small bottle brush Washing-up liquid Large water bottle 4 and 5mm allen keys Torx head key (for Hayes discs) Medium or fine wet and dry paper Top Tips: Lube it up When lubing your chain, make sure you don’t accidentally spray lube past the chain and onto your disc rotor. In fact, any amount of lube, even a greasy fingerprint on the disc will effect the braking performance. Hot Stuff If removing the discs to clean them, inspect the head of the bolts and remove if necessary. If you’re having difficulty undoing your rotor bolts, pour some boiling water over them. This should soften the threadlock and make the bolts easier to remove. A good way to avoid losing any bolts is to buy a magnetic tray from a tool shop.(All tool shops should sell or order for you ). 1 Remove your wheels and scrub both disc rotors with warm, soapy water. Use a scourer to get rid of any dirt or oil. Rinse the rotors with plenty of clean water and dry them on a clean towel or cloth. 2 Remove the brake pads from the calipers and place them to one side. Now use a bottle brush and plenty of warm, soapy water to clean out the insides of the calipers, making sure you get into all the nooks and crannies. Then rinse the calipers with clean water and allow them to dry. 3 Use some disc brake cleaner to remove any dirt from the brake pads and then wipe them with a clean cloth until they’re spotless. At this point, make sure you check that there’s enough usable pad material remaining. If your pads are worn unevenly and there isn’t enough material left over, you should replace them and make sure your disc mount alignment is even. 4 If your pads are unevenly worn, you should have your disc mounts faced off to prevent the problem happening again. Most bike shops will be able to face the brake mounts off for you using a special tool. However, if you’re feeling flush and want to sort out the disc mounts yourself, Hope sell a facing tool for £70. For more info on the tool contact hope 5 Now place some wet and dry paper on a flat surface and lay the brake pads face down on the paper; rub the pads in a gentle, circular motion to level off any imperfections/slightly uneven wear and to remove the older top layer of pad. 6 Place the brake pads back into the calipers. If you’re fitting new replacement pads, you’ll also have to gently push the pistons back into the caliper body using an open-ended 13mm spanner. 7 Be careful when putting the pads back. This is particularly important on Hayes disc brakes, as the lugs, which hold the pads into the calipers, are quite fragile and can break off if forced. 8 Check that the disc bolts are tight. If necessary, remove and apply a spot of threadlock to prevent them coming undone. 9 Go to the top of a long descent and ride down it. As you’re riding down, gently apply one brake (either will do) so that it drags but doesn’t stop you completely. Do this until the brake is hot and then immediately pour clean water from your bottle over the rotors (or you could get a friend to squirt the water while riding alongside). Now repeat the process for the remaining brake. 10 Repeat the process of heating and watering the brakes three or four times. You should feel the brakes becoming more grabby and effective. The reason for such a transformation is that this process gradually transfers a very small amount of brake pad material onto the surface of the disc rotors, so pad material is rubbing against pad material and an increase in friction is generated. thanks alot hope this help guys and gals

i love riding rocks it must be the most fun thing in trials hoping from one rock to another increasing gap sizes finding new routes. But what do you enjoy riding?

Hi at the moment i am riding Tryall tyres front and back and its time for some new ones, i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what type i should get. please say what you would recommend or what you are riding with. thanks Dave
