Looking good mate. ..itll come eventually , its just a very commited move .really got to throw your weight forward hard . Keep it updated with your progression
-
Not sure about the tensiles , the race line Cnc are the same as 05 maggies so any lever will do
-
You talking about the tensiles or race line Cnc ?
-
Ill give that one a try tar dude
-
I've tried with couple 10kg's under each heal which helps but still feels bit wobbly . Would love to get it sorted without using anything .... My mate said try it like your taking a shit in the woods but nearly fell backwards trying it that way This is the only thing stopping my trials improving I reckon ... Hopefully it's not my hamstrings playing up or ill be carrying bits of wood to the gym permanently

Looking for some help with squats , my problem being I can't keep my bloody heals down . I've got to 140kg easy but that's literally on my tip toes and feels like I'm gonna fall over at any point . The minute I start to go down they lift off the floor . Trying to get this technique sorted so I can see what my max could be and work on it . I know I have tight hamstrings , have all my life maybe it's that that's stopping me ? Any tips ? I'm pretty tall guy too 6'3 and over 18stone ... Can bench 185kg and dead lift 310kg . But none of that really counts for riding ... I'd say the squats are most important but if I can't keep me heals down I'm screwed and likely to have an accident if I try to push it on my toes
-
Are they the new 2013 forks ? How do they compare to previous forks you've owned ? Looks nice though , especially the front end
-
Too late bought the new Cnc race lines instead Although if they live up to the hype amongst you lot I may have to pick some up eventually
-
Anyone know when they are out if not already ?
-
Was strange , didn't even rim out , was convinced I hit some glass before the gap but once I got the tube out there was a typical pinch .... I've put a very heavy duty tube in now to help out
-
All my stuff comes from tartys
-
I had a tryall sticky lite with a normal tube and never ever punctured it , just recently got a baron and punctured it last weekend on a round edge wall ?? Strange ...

Because Color and Zoo Piranha 2012 Max Rear Tyre Width
peggysue replied to AkuskaUK's topic in Trials Chat
I had the zoo , tryall are fine , the conti baron did not fit even with a stretched chain . Had to cut all the nobbles about 2mm . With a new chain you got no chance with a 2.5 conti ... The new gu frame I got has loads of room for big 2.5's . Just be careful . Not sure about any maxxis tyres though -
Just wanted people's opinions on the freewheel and the rear screw on sprocket . Is titanium more likely to crack ? The freewheels centre is titanium and the whole of the rear sprocket too . Anyone own either and broke them /problems ? Cheers
-
Just got hold of this today along with couple other bits . Had my first ride tonight and it feels great . Not too sure what to do with the green headset , pedals and brake clamps yet . Might go black or might keep them ....opinions ? Cheers

Chain enquiry.. KMC 510/610/HX... Motorcycle chains
peggysue replied to Andeee's topic in Trials Chat
Those big chains are 3/16th and there huge . I ran the kmc k910 version . And previously the gusset tank chain 3/16th version. They are practically unbreakable and don't stretch either . I have a brand new one I bought to fit on my zoo but it doesn't fit as the tightness pulls the rim too far towards the frame so the tire rubs on the chain stay yoke . An extra link makes it too long . If your running horizontal dropouts like many frames nowadays then you'll need to check it they fit if you decide you want that peace of mind .... Oh and they weigh a ton I use the 510hx and so far so good . Kmc 710 before was good too . Never snapped but stretched a good half inch over 4 months use . You might have just landed funny on it and damaged a link for your chain to break so quick . I check mine before every ride just to make sure . Choice is yours dude -
Cheers Andy , was saying to jmcd that carbon bars are great . Very stiff with no flex at all . People shouldn't doubt them . Can see them lasting very well . Defo sort a ride soon though . Wouldn't mind trying your in door spot soon too
-
Yeah I will be slowly getting rid of the green bits for black and silver , and the next rim will be smooth too . The tnn adm pads I run front and rear work amazing on either surface .
-
I had the same problem . My zoo piranha came with echo press fit bb and echo alloy bolts . First time I took them out to replace the bearings they refused to go back in and started to strip the ends of the alloy bolts . The threads in the bb are fine . The bolts just seem a little soft material wise . My fix was a lot of pressure on the bolts. You really need to push hard and straight while gently turning . They will eventually grip the good thread just past the stripped bit and go on easy after that . Have to do this every time I need to put them back in but it works . Hopefully yours will be the same
-
Slightly updated spec from last time , feeling really nice to ride , and those carbon bars I received today are the most stiff bars I've felt . Really can see carbon bars catching on more and more
-
Ok, so I've decided to bite the bullet and try some carbon bars ... It's either the tryall or trialtech carbons . Would there be any difference strength wise between the two ? The trialtech are slightly lighter but the tryalls look nicer . Can't decide . Anyone had both and compared or broke any ? Cheers
-
Been running tr's for about 6 months now and although they ain't the nicest feeling bars compared to try alls ,trialtechs etc , I can't fault there strength . I'm heavy than most people at 117 kilos and they been taking some big gaps to front recently . In fact my echo urban forks snapped in 2 before the bars have
-
Trialtech !! Very stiff strong mo fo's
-
Yellows matey .... Excellent pads , or tnn adm . They are my new favourite . Stop you on a dime , and that's coming from me being over 18 stone

Cool was thinking about the surfaces being a little slippery so ill give it a shot and post back
