  1. Thats a pretty good looking bike there, how did you get the green stickers?
  2. it probally wont be THAT powerful which is why your expirencing this "5 inches" before it stops or whatever.
  3. if you've come from rim brakes, discs tippicly dont have a massive amount of bite like a magura or vee (unfortunley-spelling) What brake are you using?
  4. Can see where you comming from, maybe i could try to learn the pinch technique then i can do something to combine the two? We'll see, i guess i should do what feels right?
  5. Moto diggers are shite, big betty, maxxis high roller, maxxis high roller 2, maxxis swamp thing are all good for trial. Theres probally more (not alot though)
  6. Thats probably it then, rode last week and did probably not far off 150 ups to front
  7. Like this: Thanks. What i want to know is why has it cracked horizontally as appose to verically which could cause a snap or something? EDIT: off the RB website (http://www.rbdesign.sk/en/en_index.htm)
  8. Okay well the first one is the lever in front of my computer screen with the hydraulics and lever body on the left (not in picture) the thin bit of light you see is the crack. The lever blade is drilled from standard btw. The second photo is the lever blade with the hydraulics and lever body on the right (not shown) and the silver bit is the end of the lever blade where your finger goes causing paint to wear off. The thin black line you see is the crack. Ill see if I can get a pic of the whole lever.
  9. Just giving my rb lever a bleed today, and noticed a crack on the lever blade where your finger goes, could anyone enlighten me to how this could have happened? sorry for the bad pictures:
  10. I never tried it but i remember ali c saying they dont feel good.
  11. I enojyed the trailer more for some reason.. not sure why i didn't like the full as much.
  12. I find my 24" spot on for me, i rode mod for just under two years to get me into the sport, once i had all the basic moves and was starting to get better in the sport i wanted to move up wheel size, i had a go on a fair few peoples stocks and found they would have been too big for me. So i had a go on one of my friends because simple 24" which felt perfect for me, a fantastic middle ground for stock and mod. I've now brought his because simple and feel i improve on it quite alot. I also find with bigger wheels its a massive amount easier getting from one place to another and so saving energy for when you start to ride trial. The only downside is for me, if you want to run disc brakes they find it harder to grip the disc with a bigger wheel unfortunly(spelling) however i think this might be down to me because 26" riders run 160mm discs and ride fine.
  13. Another video from this little beast, getting even better.
  14. I'm running them on my bike with disc up front, they feel pretty solid to me
  15. Coreeee bring those bars back a bit! Whats your obsession with zoos?
  16. my god that looks like a good video! Cant wait for that! Thats some serious riding motivation right there.
  17. Whats the hex like for front wheel moves such as gaps to front or ups to front?
  18. Slow mo's Music probably isn't to everyone's taste but its just a test edit.
  19. Would it be better if i ran harder preasures while im learning pinch gaps so that i really have to force my rear wheel into the corner and make myself spring off?
  20. Tyre preasure is a bit of a difficult one, everyone likes their tyres different, it depends on what you ride, what tyres/tubes you run, what style you have etc and can take alot of time to find whats right for you. You just have to test different ones, you want something soft enough so that when you rear wheel hop the tyre is bouncy and gives you a bit of spring but hard enough so that when you ride you don't pinch.
