  1. The ENO has been around since i started trials back in like 2002. I've never personally owned one, but it was the number one choice for a freewheel and never really heard anything bad. I did run a Tensile 60 click on my 05 python and it was amazing, never skipped or anything. I think freehubs are the way forward. So i would recommend a CK BMX hub, Profile or Pro2. 48 engagement points (pro2 & profile) is more than adequate, all of the big riders use pro2's. 72 and 108 or whatever is just silly. Get some leg power But if you wanna choose a freewheel, all this new stuff that was engineered past 2006 is shit, stick to the roots and get a White Industries Eno.
  2. This is the Pavel i remember. He was so amazing
  3. If you can drive, Stoke-On-Trent/Newcastle-Under-Lyme/Keele University are all in the same city (10 mile radius) which are all amazing places to ride and only around a 40 minute drive from you.
  4. Still don't understand this whole weight thing. Back in the day my bike was like 14kg, double wall undrilled rims front and back and dual ply tyres front and back and still threw it up 50" sidehops, 9ft to front etc. Get whatever you like the look of and can afford. If weights an issue, hit the gym and get stronger

    Nicest looking bike ever.
  6. Just used the ready mixed water and antifreeze and then yeah you can, don't used pure anti-freeze.
  7. Please let me buy your brakes! Classic ride, as the others have said, don't spray her!
  8. Been out the game a long time. I used to run a truvativ gigapipe DH Isis bb. Now I'm gonna be running a pro2 with a fixed cog on my cranks. Would I only need a 113mm spindle or do I need the longer one ? Also how do you determine what shells size I need ? 68 or 73mm? Sorry for the nooby posts lately. I've just forgot everything lol. Frame is 06 echo control long if that helps
  9. What kinda feedback have tarty had mark ? You had many returned or heard alot about them cracking/snapping ?
  10. Looking at getting a set of these forks. As i need V brake forks and unsure what to go for as Ive been out of the game for a few years. Are these strong? Like the strongest available? weight doesnt matter to me. People cracked them yet etc ? If so what else should i get ? Cheers, Danny
  11. Bumping this up again. Just uploaded around 50 more videos to keep you busy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCksAYKIi8NwJRMPInbGY7ug
  12. My ankles went though hell and back in the 10 years i rode trials, I broke each one 3 times. I have 2 plates and 6 pins in the left and 3 plates and 8 pins in the right. After the last time, I was told there's a chance I may never walk again if i break one of my feet again, so I stopped riding for a good while and underwent some serious physio for both ankles and did alot of strength training, after that i wore ankle braces on both ankles for 12 months or so when i got back on a bike and I never really had much trouble. I've been off a bike for 3 years now, getting back on one again next year, I imagine they should be fine still. I do alot of running and training day to day anyways. Also, out of curiosity, Hows your weight and build? Being overweight plays hell on the joints, especially after any damage and also at an older age. So if your carrying a little more weight than you should be, hit the gym or some high intensity circuit training and improve your fitness and weight. I also found drinking alot of milk to increase bone strength and also eating high protein foods to strengthen muscles. This is as much a sport as any and Physique and diet are just as important than that of a Boxer or Football player. If you really want some professional help, there's a guy on here (If he still uses the forum) called Si the Physio, He's dealt with myself and alot of big name riders in the past to help them through injuries etc.
