  1. only thing I can dis is the bars. my mate got a t-comp and they were the first things to go but then he' quite a heavy rider. the only reson i'd go for monty over OnZa is some of the parts on the onza's you will be replacing. bars and freewheel were the first things to go on me mates t-comp
  2. brakes dont seem to bite as well either
  3. tarty bikes http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=10 get it from traty as well and you get free stuff. spair pads chain stay protector ect
  4. i'm running koXx BloXx they take a while to bed in but work really well. I'd still go for echo pads though
  5. depends on the money. <£300 try and find the best secondhand bike you can find up to £400 go for a monty
  6. I was riding BMX when I started trials when I was bout 15. then started mod bikes as well as BMX. did my back in bricklaying and gave up 20" all together. Happy Days!!!!!!!!!
  7. try doing to backhopes facing up a hill without the back brake on. it helps keeping the peddles level and keeping your weight forward.
  8. yep had my bulb for bout 3 years now and the same thing has happend to me 7 or 8 times now. sorry no warrenty 'cos your using it for trials use. send it to hope and they'll replace the rachet ring for you. it's bout 15quid unless they feel the need to replace bearings n bushs then it's bout 30quid. inc' p+p of course HOPE that was some help

  12. Nice fair play. keep going and put a bit more wieght on that forward peddle and crouch more thats all i can say really.
  13. If you want to ride dual slalom then you go for it. it won't be a bad frame for trials but you might find that that frame is a little harder to keep on the back wheel. not trials geo'

  17. You can't beet Blunts (abbubicca's in BMX) to fakie (roll bk's) then go into 180 blunts (fufanu's in BMX) X-up's (turning the bars 180') finnaly Crank flips (flicking the peddles 360 and landing back on them) then try and mix the moves together blunt> X-up> crank flip> fakie?!?!?!
  18. MONTY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! onza's ok but really cheap parts on them!!! THEY DONT CHEAP OUT ON THERE COMPONENTS!!!!!!! My mate bout the T-comp over the monty bent bars snapped cranks chain tentioners snapped and both tyres worped.
  19. I'll try again Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  20. Only if you need to ride far. i did the same with my T-Rex but as soon as i started riding it came strait of
  21. I agree with the hole one finger thing, martyn ashton showed me i little trick years ago. not to do with backhopping as such but will help on all parts of the move (getting on the bk wheel, trackstand ect) when your in the track stand with the front wheel up against a wall/ rock keep your choco foot slightly lower that you trailing foot and most of the wieght on your choco foot. practice taking you wieght of the choco foot and roll back slightly. you get used to the rolling back and forth with as little braking as you can. then try the same tech but on the back wheel and the front up on the wall. it takes time to do but get this down rolling back and forth against the wall and you'll learn when and how to put apply the brakes. if the brakes ain't working either try roofing tar or monty bike spray. hope this helps. i know what it's like to learn trials on you own.:~) CODEwww.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=2083&category_id=5 if not try and get a copy of: DIRTY TRICKS AND CUNNING STUNTS from chilli video. it's old but will teach you most of what you need to know bout trials moves. sound
  22. Going though my old clips and found this one and some old pics bk when I was riding a T-Rex (great frame!!!) Bunnyhopping up a 3 footish wall in the wet and both feet came off at the same time and ended up peeing out a tube for two weeks as a result.# SSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssooooooooooooooo much pain. so much pain. Hope u enjoy. Youtube Video -> Original Video
