LIKE WHAT??? i wouldn't be running the 203mm if i didn't think that i needed it. i did use a 180mm rota with my bb7 before i forked out for the 203mm and i'll never go back to 180unless i was using a hydro. been put of them. when i had money i went through a formula before 180mm, a loise 160mm and a hope mono 160mm and they were great until levers and seals started to go. and for the price of the parts i think i'll stick with cable brake. £67 insted of £130??!?!?!?!?

ashton and hawzie, for their work making trials as popular as it is. otto pi, with out him and pedero pi we would have monty jeff lenosky, for adding a BMX influence and stupid bunnyhop/manuel lines and ryan leach, for his manifestow (eliminate correction hops from trials) dougie lampkin, such a strong moto trials rider. and we can't forget ALI C. sooooooooooooo much style. all GODS in their own right!!!!

to be honest the only way i can afford my bikes is to buy each bit ata time. either that or check through Mountain biking uk. Halfords do but there prices are higher then say tarty and (don't quote me on this) Halfords only order in KoXx.

even the 203 slips on me occationally.

I'm using urbans with a 203mm bb7 as title but the forks are cracking at top of the brake boss cos of the huge addapter on the bb7. anyone else had this problem? can anyone recomend some better forks for around the same price(ish, i'll go bout £20 more,maybe?!?!) looking at the trialtechs but can't really afford it?? cheers guys AaRoN

it's just your body going into mild shock. adrenalin. quick fix, sugar water. -
definatly echo. hold grinds beautifully and really strong!
-
why. never done the gym, taken drugs i can still hop-up side hop what ever bout 43inches (104cm) just two 'n' half years of (semi) sold practice. nothing or no-one else involved. if you wanna loose your manhood size...you carry on!!!
-
hell no!!!! ever heard of roid rage? practice and deturmination id the only way to get any were!!!! hip movements is the basis for most moves. compressing before any hop and chain preload (weight on the peddles keep chain tight)

turning off blunts BMXy moves. Super cyles for the first one. Single track bikes for the second. i build my own now. Tioga xc maxxis advantage and ona Try-all at the mo. when it comes to tyre pressure i hate when the tyre folds over the side of the rim throws me off. used to ride BMX so like harder prssures. 15-25 depending on weather. rear 5psi harder than front.

cheers every one, all the more reason why i want to hook up with riders. i really don't know many people who ride trials. till bout two months ago i only new one onther person and was pritty munch self influenced, can't wait till i can start riding more with others. YAY to this forum. thank you all for the coments AaRoN

WOW thats all i have to say!!! WOW

i can can exept that more metal means more weight!!!?!? not asking for anything that nessaseraly stronger (in comparison i dout that i could find something stronger unless i went for HALO Combats or something) just what would be a decent alturnitive for trials use!!! don't get me wrong i loved using try-all's front rim but went through 2 of them in about 6weeks. OnZa ronnie's temping but only one colour (i used a hog on the rear for a while.) alex DX32 only come in 36hole. after 32 (I should of said really.) chances are i'll go for echo just to suit what i got on the rear. Dose/has anyone used the Revell rims???? single-wall but they look quite strong? or can any one recomend a single wall that'll take street riding? like i say i'm only using the mavic due to weight over strenth, but the reason why i want to change is performance for trials (ie...front wheel moves/landings.) thanks for all your replys. AaRoN

hey, i decided to run a Mavic D521 because i kept going though single wall rims like theres no tomorrow but it's only like 27mm wide and suffer from traction probles and the tyre rebounding too much, i let it down that little bit and i start pinching tubes. another reson i run theD521 is the wieght it's only bout 450g. i've been running this front wheel for nerly a year and a half and decided for a change. anyone know ofa double wall rim 35-42mm that would take a beating that done wiegh a tone looking at echo (what i use for the rear) but it's nearly 300g heavyer than the mavic!!! any ideas cheers AaRoN
-
fair play you must go though wheels like no tomorrow?!?!?!?! AaRoN

I'll def be coming to worcester this week end good weather or not just to see what the areas like for the next ride. i'll call people that i have no's for. any one else coming along pm me to exchange no's. fingers crossed for good weather though!!! -
too much tar can make it slip? try riding with the brake on for the first part of the ride see if it makes a differents. i run the KoXx BloXx, the best pads that i ever used. they do take a long time to bed in but the queel you get from then is intense. brilliant in the wet with grind!!! don't need much of one either!
-
they don't really last as long as the maxxis 40a compound....but lots and lots of grip though!!!
-
cheers man appriciated!!! i'm out most days when the bikes working!!!lol
-
good vid....really smooth. I love watching the french ride!!!
-
can't really go wrong, any v-level well set up should be ok. i would go for anything smaller than 180mm the 160mm slip quite alot if you like landing on the front wheel!!! but you i'm using a sd7.
-
pink?????? not my fave but tidy looking bike.
-
best vid for people starting out defo!!! By-king was brilliant!!! just keep practicing, or check out trashzen.com wicked little site.
-
