  1. It's not a bad tyre considering, quite grippy. Just wears down really quick...
  2. My mono mini did this, was nothing to do with pad positioning on mine though. I just added two small shims between forkmounts and caliper. Problem solved
  3. Back in my BMX days I had some Primo Hollowbite's which were the same square taper design as trials ones, except buying them second hand, one of the tapers was slightly rounded. I cut up a bit of a Coke can and placed it around the taper to act as a shim. Its a bit of a pain and a bodge, and it's a shit to get on, but it worked for me
  4. They are good hubs, but if they do break, they cost a bomb to fix, and King won't warranty their hubs for trials use, unlike Hope or other Trials-specific Hub Manufacturers do. You could nearly buy 3 Hopes for the price of a King, and Pro 2's are are wickid!
  5. I really wanted the Cleaner when I got this, has dedicated mounts too doesn't it? The Vee-mount spacings on the Hitman are so narrow, I had to scrounge up an old Original evo mount to fit the maggie on when I put that Urban Rim on. Cheers for all the comments
  6. Onza.com puts it as; Wheelbase: 1085mm Chainstay Length: 380mm BB Rise: 0mm Wee bit heavy though!
  7. Haha, Yeah it is just a T-rex, just part of Onza's rebranding and renaming of things I think. Yeah! Ride with them most Sundays now, should come down sometime
  8. Spec is; Onza Hitman Trialtech Stem Echo SL Risers Hope Pro 2 Front / Trialtech Square RIm Hope Pro 2 Rear / Echo Urban. Crap Tyres Trialtech sport ISIS Cranks / Odyssey Twisted PC Pedals Trialtech ti bash + TT Sprockets Maggie + Hope Mono Mini Ill change the forks when money lets me, but I like the bars! Haven't had them long It seems to ride ok, coming from bmx for 3 years to Trials I don't know what rides good or not haha, but I get on with it, easy enough to learn on. I do, I go out on Sundays with some local mates who ride too. Do you??
  9. Yeah, It just money at the minute.. Next payday
  10. As the title says... Im pretty new to this Trials lark, so I've just been changing parts as they've broken and Ive been able to afford to... Sorry for the poor pictures, oldschool 7 mega pixel :0 Spec can be put up if wanted..

  15. I had my bars come next day. Nice chap too
  16. I bought a Giro Rift from CRC for £30 with free delivery, had some on sale cos of discontinued colour lines. I've got a big head at 61 and the uni-fit is perfect, it's light, don't get sweaty, pretty. Poifect.
  17. Yeah, its crazy how much extra space they give, even with rock pads, cos they're pretty deep pads. Feels a little less flex in these evo 1's as well, so pretty happy. Anyway, thanks for all the help. Jamie
  18. Hey man, sorry for the late reply. I managed to get hold of an EVO 1 off a friend and happy to say shes sorted Thanks for the offer anyway man, its appreciated. Jamie
  19. I could do, but having a magura Id rather find a way around it and use that...
  20. Yeah, Im trying to get hold off an evo 1 mount. Tarty's said about grinding off the shoulders and bodging a 2-bolt on there, but thats a bit last resort. I litterally had the wheel come today, rims a day old so won't be changing it yet! haha
  21. Right all! Just had my Hope pro 2/echo urban stock wheel come through this morning to run on the rear, but after putting it in the dropouts, I found out the brakepads are locked onto the rims because of its width. Ive cut down the pads quite alot and it still isnt budging. It mounts perfectly, it just doesnt move :/ Anything I can do to fix this?? Thanks, jamie
  22. Check through the seats one these sites. 80% of them all are pivotal, and there's plenty of plain ones etc... And Pivotal is a universal thing. Any pivotal seat will fit any pivotal post, providing its listed as 'Pivotal'. www.alansbmx.com www.sourcebmx.com www.pijin.co.uk Hope this helps, Jamie
  23. I think like the matey above said, it is personal preference. I've just got into trials having come from BMX for 3 years, and got on better with a 26" stock than another small bike. Weird eh? Have a play around what feels more fun and comfortable
