I try and go a little faster and really lean back when I pull on the bars ready to spring up.

For a minute I thought TF was losing it's touch as not seen a bit of bitching for a few days. And it's good to see people in the sport giving trials a good reputation for being a friendly and welcoming sport that anyone can and should try!

They should be no different to the 2011 maguras as I'm pretty sure the fittings are all still the same. Get some 2011 HS11's that come with the evo adaptors for the same price as the 05 ones without!

Be reet lads, if he buys something off anyone on here so they get his address it could lead to a "Guess how many of my bikes got nicked last night" thread. Unless they can't find his house

Definately, the red sky was an absolute thing of beauty!!

You wanna get yourself one of these specialist trials grinding discs Terry http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trials-Diamond-Rim-Grinding-Disk-echo-gu-zoo-onza-/320629351834?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4aa6ffa59a

He means they're screwing in as far as they can go, but that would be odd as I assume the bolts went in fine before. If it's been cross threaded your bolt could be screwing in the dodgy thread thats been cut in and when it gets to the end of that and meets the normal thread it won't go any further, thats what I meant!

Can only assume it's been cross threaded then, take it back to the bike shop and see if they know owt about it.

Have you tried dropping an allen key or something into the hole to see how deep it goes in case something is stuck in the bottom?

Where were the pics Adam?? I managed the 2 easy ones!

Nah the brakes won't freeze up as they'll be bled with oil being brand new.

You should be able to fit a single speed kit yourself, all it consists of is undoing the lockring holding the cassette on and sliding it off then sliding on some spacers and a single cog. As for pads your probably best looking in the pad review thread and making your own mind up as this subject is prone to starting some long and pointless arguments! (start at the end and work your way back through the thread though!) and you won't have to worry about bleeding them, they'll be ready to ride!

If you definately want to stick to maguras then go for the 2011 HS11's, same price as the 2005's and less chance of the lever snapping on you. Don't bother splashing out the extra ££ on 2011 33's!

Not sure what the front end setup is but if it hasn't got risers investing in some would be a good idea. As for the chain slippage at a guess I'd say it's down to not enough chain wrap on the rear cog and the chain not being tight enough. It's a bit harder to get this right with gears so you could do with a single speed kit and chain tensioner, if your front cog is 22t I think you'll be needing a 18t at the rear to get the right ratio (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Hope this helps you a bit dude!!

PM Mods, they tend to do it every couple of months or so when they've got a few name change requests apparently.

Yep get your backhops nailed next, it's the basis of a lot of trials stuff so you'll need it though you may find it a bit harder to learn on your frame as I think there's no bottom bracket rise. That means when your backhopping your weight will be quite far forward which in turn will lead to the front wheel dropping so easily when you drop off something. Your best bet is learning to backhop on a slight hill, the angle of the ground will help you to get your weight more central over the rear wheel.

For the amount it would cost just buy a 2nd hand bike off here. Think Matt Vandart may have an Ashton, try sending him a PM!

Read the rules before you post, only validated members are allowed to buy and sell on the forum.

Fraid not mehewd, what you commited there was fraud. If there was a way around it then everybody would be doing it don't you think?! Best hope your sister doesn't get busted as she could have a large bill or even worse a criminal record as a result!

Good to here you've picked a bike, is it a brand new one?

If you brakes are working then go for the stem, no rules stating you have to ride with maguras. Ask Matt Vandart!

Yup workin now!

TF is suddenly broken for me, can't access any of the forums, can only get on the threads shown on the main page!
