Unbelievable, amazing editing, really 'thinking outside the box' riding. 325,000+ views in 3 days on youtube! not bad at all, I take off my hat to Danny Mac.

Surely 'Cool', is not restrained by such trivial matters such as whether they are practical or not?

Militant video. Loved the street riding on the mod. Best vid i've seen in a while. Those gaps and drops were mightily big, took some balls!

Well, I think they are cool... .Have a look.

brill riding. last bit was a suprise! lucky sod

lovely clips. good riding guys. i wish i was back in siberia again. keep it up.

Whats the difference (except length!) Are long/short frames suited to different riding styles? or different rider weights/height? I just dont know. thanks

thank you for your answers again. Feeling more confident about building something now.

lovely thank you. another question then... it says in most frame specs BB+ 30mm/40mm/55mm what does this all mean?

Thank you for your swift replies. More questions if you dont mind. would 175mm cranks fit a mod bike? im guessing no.

This is for Mod (20") bikes. Can someone explain the usual setups for sprockets and freewheels and how many teeth is preferred. I am lost. Thank you.

Im on a nightmareish budget of about £250 to get a "20 mod up and running. Have been trolling the for sale forums and seeing these bits and bobs go for much less than Tarty's prices. So i think I'm gonna build my own. Is it hard to build a wheel? both wheels in fact... I am an able bodied person with no real retardation's I'm aware of, so it should be no bother. but will it save me money? also, are headsets and bottom brackets mofo's to fit? i have done it in ages past and i dont remember it being a lovely experience. Although the wiki is really helpful. Thanks. x

ill try my bestest to come down and meet you guys tomorrow. i wont have a bike but it will be good to meet you all.

where's the meeting and at what time? I'm about 15 miles out of Nozza and driving in is no problem. would be lovely to have a hop about on a few 20" things haven't done so before. Will also be nice to meet the competition and get to know you all. where abouts do you play in Norwich?

OK so, trying a different approach. WHICH BITS FITS? if i were to buy 20" wheels and frame and new crankbits, i could in theory transfer my headset, bar, stem and brakes from my old bike. Yes or no? budget is about £250 reccomendations? i know nothing of 20" cranksets thanks. EDIT! would obvously have to get new forks too.

thanks for the swift replies guys. Also now looking at a Shogun Gimp Trials bike. Never heard of shogun before. any recommendations? its the '07 model if that helps. Luckily i still have my old 26" DDG shooter jump/trials bike with HS33's on it so i dont mind about shoddy brakes cos i can straight swap my HS33's onto the bike.

A long time ago, back when i was 13-14 i was quite possibly in love with Martyn Ashton and Martin Hawyes. I used to read Mountain Biking UK relentlessly. Saw them at the NEC bike show many moons ago and haven't forgotten. Times change, girls enter your life and trials made a swift exit. Until Now. With the militant recession sweeping Britain, i'm totally unemployed and loving it. Got a lot of time on my hands and have been getting out and about on my bike again and loving it. Thanks to you tube, finding trials video's to inspire me has gotten much easier. (i even dusted off my old VHS of 'Dirty Tricks and Cunning Stunts' to enjoy again after about a decade.) I'm thinking of going into 20" very soon, i see onza T-Birds on ebay for about £70-90 and have looked and found reviews saying they are very good starter bikes, if a little heavy. I don't mind that as my ninja bike skills have not aged well and my ability to pedal kick and hop about on my back wheel has deserted me. so starting from the bottom again doesn't seem like a bad idea. Gonna be using this forum as much as i can in the future and look forward to chatting with you all. Regards, Ed

nice one man. what do the locals think of your hopping about?
