These, and new members asking if they should get x part or y, and when you say x they start arguing about why they reckon they'd be better of with y, why bother asking if you've already made your mind up?!

Rough idea on price?? Not sure if I'm keen on the look of the 26 yet but the 20 looks good!

You wanna keep an eye on the events list here http://www.biketrialuk.co.uk/. Not much in the north west but if you don't mind the odd hours travelling there should be a good few events for you to join in, though the season is over now so you'll have to wait for next year!

Couldn't pin down a single favourite but a few of my top tunes are Tiesto's Southern Sun remix, You've Lost That Loving Feeling by The Righteous Brothers and probably Have It All by Triple J as it always makes me smile! EDIT: Must never forget Born Slippy!

I shall definately have to get down for a ride one day with you guys. Will see what happens when the baby arrives I guess!

Onza

Thats ok with me, I've no problem whatsoever buying the cheaper one!

Might look into picking up a Trialtech carbon booster then, gonna be putting a biggish order for bits in soon anyway so I'll chuck that in. Cheers!

They're definately real Onza forks, I think Rocknroll are mainly Onza dealers when it comes to the trials side of things and tend to get 1 or 2 bits that Tartybikes don't so that might explain your concern. If you want to know any more about them why not send Mike Poyzer a PM and I'm sure he'll fill you in with what you want to know! http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showuser=790

Can you look into this SQ server error that appears every morning for a few hours?? It's a right pain as you have to keep going backwards and forwards with pages trying to load stuff up and it's annoying when you make a post only for the error to come up and all your writing to be lost!

What mod are you getting??

Don't bother with the smart guy forks, they weigh about 1kg and for £40 you'll get some good condition Echo Urbans off here when validated which are only about 800g so quite a substantial difference. As for the rear brake what pads are you currently running, and have you got a grind on the rear rim as it makes quite a difference in braking power i found!

Got my brake bled and setup proper on my python yesterday afternoon and its not as good as I expected at all. I'm running an identical setup on my Echo Control as well which is brilliant so I reckon I might need a booster to improve things a bit and just wondered if anyone has run a booster on an 07 Python frame before and what I'd be better with, 2 bolt or 4 as I've never used a booster before! My setup if it helps on both bikes is 05 maggie, 4 finger blade, TR clamps, HS's on CNC backings and an Echo TR rim with lightish grind.

Think hub wise I'm stuck between a TR or TryAll H it's just the rim I'm stuck with. Not got loads to spend and not particularly a basher but that's cause Im still gettin the balls to try bigger stuff. Gotta choose between double wall with a trialtech sport or risk it with a single wall

Quality vid that mate, really enjoyed it! It's never the right time to start again in england! And I told you you should have kept a bike!

Almost kind of a bit OT here but is there any new stock frames looking at being released between now and January?? Will be after one but wanted a SlateII, so currently considering a FANS, Meta or Born but wondered if you'll be getting anything else in that kind of price range??

Taking all this in, may try some foam grips aswell as currently using echo rubber ones which are a bit hard and thin!

Is there anything that can be done with a front disc brake though as I found that was more of a problem??

How did I know you'd pipe up at somepoint about switching to bloody V's!!!

This is an interesting thought, will give it a try when I get the brake rebled and setup! Very good advice, I used to do quite a lot of wristcurls but stopped going to the gym in January so that could be one contributing factor! As for the powerball I've been playing with mine this afternoon, found it in the back of my locker hence the idea for the topic, but the dial has dropped out a while ago so I may have to get another to do that 90sec challenge thing! And I'll give the flowing through a section thing a try, though the trial I did recently was mostly tight twisty climbs up a steep banking so was a proper hop fest to get up, and in a foret where the floor was covered with acorns meant you had to hold the brakes on for dear life!

That's an interesting one and free, will have to give it a go!

Can anyone give me some good tips on how to minimize the amount of arm pump I get off my brakes? When I did that comp a few weeks ago by the end of the day I was really struggling to hold onto the bars cause my forearms were that pumped, there must be some measures I can take to stop this?? The brakes I have are front hope trial (old style) with 180 rotor and rear maggie with 2 finger lever, HS yellows, oil bleed and smooth rim. I have recently ground my back rim though but not really had a chance to try it yet and ordered a 4 finger lever but will a water bleed also help reduce things? Is there anything I can do to the front to stop it happening as I found that was the worst of the two! I am actually considering swapping back to dual maggie, would that help?
