Ah, I found the same one with a grey tread pattern from www.unicycle.uk.com Thanks for the input, I guess when I progress in trials I will build up a better bike and wont have this problem with a pussy tyre size.
-
I'd get either a pimped up ZOO! Python, or a pimped Adamant A3.

Yea, I guess the bike is okay for our kind of riding Reece, we are only beginners and are light riders. Its practically the same frame as the '03 T-Mag, and has the old website address on it, so I'd imagine its '03. Supposedly, its only meant for competition trials and not for street, I don't see how though I like Jacks T-Comp, its very light and bouncy, but I don't see how. Apart from the frame, most of the other bits are just parts that come standard with other Onza's and they are heavy bikes. It was the beast riding the rocks in Clacton, so good. I can hop really high with it as well.

Steve Jupe should be coming on his Mission Prodigy Comp. From what I heard, all you guys on study leave will be meeting at 12ish. We will all meet outside Tesco's at 4:20.

I've been able to do the basics such as pedal hopping since October/Novemberish, But I only consider to have been riding trials since Christmas as that is when I have had my own bike. -
i think its fun highlighting the black rectangles. Gah Adobe sucks, its limited IMO, get yourself a copy of Sony Vegas, Tis the best editing you can get for PC. You didn't finish this video off Jennings, its a nice video, perhaps a varied mixture of moves and spots would be better. I just don't like the "Est" branding. =(

Meh, I'm busy all day Saturday, but I can ride Sunday. Stupid Notley and their study leave. I'll be riding Friday, say we meet at memorial outside Tesco's at 4:20 as that is when everyone will be meeting. Also have you got a red nose yet? -
Not really, you don't exactly ride much or hard Jennings, do you? I wear shorts everynow and again, mainly because it gets hot, but it looks silly wearing pads with shorts so I tend to sway to trousers more. I don't like unprotected shins.
-
Thats sweet, I've never seen a bike with a complete Yellow colour co-ordination. Nice one.
-
Meh, its not really unlucky. I've been pissed off this past week, because I have had 3 punctures in 4 days. And I have added lots of items to my list of badly needed spares, which are: Rear tyre, grips, pedals and pads. And since I'm only getting a fiver a week, and some of that money going towards train fare on rides, etc. Its kinda hard for me to afford it all. Ouch.

Sweet video Charlie, again I'm the guy with the helmet. *Idiots* -
An important thing to remember is to not dwell in a spot for too long. If your riding somewhere in the middle of a busy town (lets say Chelmsford town centre on a Saturday), get to know your limits of how long you can ride. In this case Chelmsford town is about about a minute. Or perhaps if your riding out side some kind of establishment, assess how many people walk past the area, what kind of business is it etc, and give yourself a min/max time to stay there. Usually it is due to being in a spot for too long, so just remember to keep on moving on when your out and about.

I ditto that, I need some time to get mine done, I forgot about it.
-
If I wanted very thin tyres. Ah well I just found a nice grey Onza stickey finger tyre (20"/2.4") for £13, should order that sometime.
-
Hey guys. I've kinda knackered my rear tyre on my Onza T-Vee and am in need of a new one. The rim size is 20", and the tyre is 2.4". I'm just wondering as to where I can buy one 2.4 sticky finger tyre, with the grey tread patern. Or perhaps some other 2.4" trials tyre. Help would be appreciated, links to sites if possible. Thanks, Tom
-
Heh, if train fare was cheaper I would have come. But I guess next time to go will be April/May time. Have fun guys.

Or you could do what my school has planned to do. And that is 3 days (4 hours in each day) in the Easter holidays, you have to come in an revise purely for the R.E GCSE exam. And its compulsory. And we will be given R.E revision work throughout the time of our work experience. Prove me wrong, but I though school holidays were a way of getting a break from school life, not to go back there.
-
Meh, Jack can already do wheel truing very well, I just don't think he has the paitence or chance to assemble a whole wheel.
-
I think they are okay bikes, they feel a bit longish/less whippy to me, but perhaps thats because I'm used to my own bike. I think the newest style of T-Mag offers a bit more and is the same sort of price. I'd get a T-Mag if I had a choice between the two bikes.
-
And do you speak like this to the friends who then ditched you? Meh, sometimes its good when things go tits up, if the plans screw up and no-one comes out riding then you can ride on the own, it gives you a bit of a break and a difference in riding.
-
Yea Jack, I mean Autoparts is a good local shop, but Lee and Ryan had some problems with their wheels that they had built, such as loose spokes and buckles. I think its worth the hassle to send them to Tarty.

Oh dear, I have to edit again, very sorry guys. Me, Eric and Marcus cannot make the 17th, so we will have to go the weekend after (the 24th). -
