Thanks everyone for help and thanks ezza i think ive made my mind up ill go for the echo team 07 as theyre not too popular and an all round mint frame cheers people

nitromors is a paint stripper that can strip up to 15 layers of paint . It costs about a fiver a tin i did my forks with it , You just brush the nitromors onto the frame and after about 5-10 seconds it will start to buble up , the paint goes all crumbly and just simp;y wipe it off with some tissue. Its great stuff mate just don't get any on yours hands or skin because it will eat it away fast!!! Wear protective gloves and don't put too much of the stuff on as its juat a waste it only takes a light brushing for it to strip the paint. There is always the alternative,sandpaper but it will take quite a while. nitromors ***!

I had an 06 monty and then went to a levelboss short which felt quite different

hi, I currently ride a monty 221 pr but it's too short for me and i want a bike that isn't as popular as say the zoo python. I have been looking at the ko km1 trials frame which isn't that popular and looks to be an all round nice frame apart from no bash mount seen as though i compete in trials. Does anyone have any info on the frame , like what it would be like to change from a short natural frame to a slightly longer more street style frame . If i am to get one it will be the short frame at 1010mm which shouldn't be too much of a change seen as thought the monty is 1000mm in length. Could people post up any pictures of their ko as to see what colour scheme will work. Any info will be a great help

Read the guidelines -Getting A Bike
ben.richardson replied to trialsr lee's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
do you prefer long or short? if long i would suggest the zoo/echo/gu bikes but they are a bit pricey for a first mod if you prefer short then monty ***. if you like the montys add me on msn and we'll talk hint hint! -
The Ti is frame is supposedly better but i don't see why because its identical! I ride the pr but i didn't buy the standard spec. I got a scotchbrite frame and had my own wheel combination and bar and stem and stuff like that and it turned out to be cheaper than the standard spec with way better components on it.All thanks to Tarty bikes, thumbs up to them.Check it out in my signature!

Round here the police can't be arsed patrolling the streets so they get rentacops (wardens) to do it. Not all old people should be shot my grandad just told me to tell old people to go find something better to do than to stand around and point and moan about plants that are on the walls (that are actually usually weeds). My mum is the moaning one for instance if i tell her that i broke my bike back wheeling or sidehopping a wall she wouldn't care about my bike,she'd be like was the wall alright and id be like wtf!!! The police just dont care e.g ive had a trailer and a caravan nicked and my garage broken into and they didn't even come see the damage or what the thieving ba****ds left behind!!

Eno definately even if its second hand it will be twice as strong as the monty eno ***

The braiding doesn't always work. the braiding is covered by a transparent plastic tube ,as soon as that rips or splits your braiding will start to fray and blood will seep out , its just happened to a friend of mine.Just run a booster to cover the hosing and protect it.

who knows how it will end up the bikes now are so different to how they were 3-4 years ago. In my opinion i think its going to go big,like as famous as bmxing and mtb but who knows what the future will hold
-
have a look at mine in my signature
-
I used to ride with a magura on the back ,it takes a bit of time to get used to because you're used to the squeak of the pads hitting the rim and that's when you know the brake has locked on but i wouldn't say it makes it easier to balance
-
How can you say that rear disks bend, have you tried one? mines done fine and im a fairly harsh rider. The disk doesn't catch unless e.g you side hop a wall and your front wheel misses the wall and your rear wheel catches your rear disk is then likely to catch which is very rare hasn't happened to me yet.

bump please could someone help as i can't get on the tyke trial website for some strange reason

What Pads Do You Think Are Good?
ben.richardson replied to Richard jersey's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
what type of grind do you have or if you even have a grind. Zoo pads for smooth plaz or koxx browns for a meduim grind work pretty godd
