let me know. sound!!!
what sort of presure do poeple use. I run bout 20-25psi no less. having it any lower i think it feels almost............sluggish. I use 2.35 back and front and usually run the front harder than the rear. what do you guys run.
another thing i've been playing with is stems.......i've gone from monty's 140mm 17' rise to all three sizes of OnZa's pz31 stem, dont know weather to go high or low rise but thinking want to stick bout 130mm to 150mm. i dont really ride with anyone with any extencive experience trials riding so i don't know what people use.
Anything by maxxis just make sure that it's DUAL PLY. Very important for reducing pinchflats. compound: 40a if your not to fussed 'bout it wearing down quick but i'll always go for Maxxis minion 2.35 for street 2.50 natural.
At the moment I've been riding ona Hope Bulb rear for about three years and had to replace the rachet 12 times and it's starting to get me down! Every time I get confident trying new gaps 'click.....crunch' there goes my rachet teeth. Now i'm in two minds wether to go for say tensile freewheel and fixed rear wheel or save and get a crissking hub!!! HELP PLEASE. p.s. 1060 over 1080. i'm 6footish and riding my mates koXx levelboss (1065) over my echo HiFi (1085) and can't make up my mind. i ride mostly street!!! any opinion welcome!!!

one word, modulation, if you like you stoppys stick with it. if it's feeling squidgy try a new cable.
i run a 203mm rota with avid lever and ain't that squidgy!!!
I did the frame in the groin. split my urethra and was pi#'ing blood for two weeks, had to pee out of a tube for another 3.
keep in your within your skill level and remember
your body will heal!!!
you bike won't!!!!!!!
check out on you tube

If you going foam go for the Trial-Tech. really soft and last forever. i used to ride with Try-all grips religously but only lasted me bout 2 months. (i ride bout 3 hours a day) got the Trial-Tech's 6week ago and no sign of wear
If you looking at improving you bike skills, get something thats a little heavier than usual, t-rex is best bet. lighter bikes are for more fine tuned riding.
For mod, I wouldn't go OnZa. go for a second hand Monty or Echo. see if you can find a 219 monty. my mate bout a T-bird recently and has allready failed in more ways than one (bent bars and frame, free-wheel gone ect)
