  1. I can't believe there was a t pro on the other day that I was watching out of interest, needed new hoses for the maggies and maybe some new tyres and tubes, went for £87!! And good lad with the punctuation fix, vote added for listening!
  2. Oh yeah, then turn it over and do the other side, obviously.
  3. I do it with my dad but if your not too sure just take it to your local bike shop who should be able to do it on the spot for you! I put a block of wood on the bench, rest the bottom of the headtube on there flat, place the top cup in and hold it in place with another block of wood and tap it in by hitting the wood so your spreading the force out over the whole thing. If you get what I mean?!
  4. I've got a pair of belting 4" and 5" scars down the back of my calf from my foot slipping forward off some trialtech sport platforms. Will definately be going for some caged pedals next time to see how they compare and save a bit of weight!
  5. You can usually pick up a hope mono trial from ebay or on here for anything from £30-£60 depending on condition.

    Films!?

    This is quite true, watched it last night as there was nowt on the telly. No brains behind it whatsoever just pure action entertainment. Like any action film you've ever seen, on acid.
  7. Have you got a copy of this http://chrisking.com/files/pdfs/ClassicManual-1-08-A.pdf?? All I could find to help you!
  8. Not from my experience, weigh a tonne an the geometry of my mates one is awful!
  9. Great video that mate, very well filmed and edited! Just a tip on your landings, try not to land quite as flat, get the back wheel down first and lower the front after to absorb the shock. Otherwise you'll either kill your wheels or your knees!
  10. I'd advise you buy both from tartybikes so best thing to do is ask them what they recommend when you call. What size ring you got on the back?
  11. Rab's got an 05 maggie with an echo lever blade for sale in his sale topic, that might be worth a try?!
  12. I'm confused, if the question is would a new magura feel better than my current one I'd say hang on a couple of months and get one of the 2010 ones when they come out as this should feel better than your current one. Or try a bleed and/or different pads!
  13. If its the one I've just found then I'd say £250 is a decent price to pay. Though you should really sort your grammar and punctuation out as I could only just understand what the hell you were on about!
  14. A front disc tends to give you a bit more modulation which can help when your doing moves onto the front wheel whereas a maggie tends to be on or off. But a disc weighs more than a magura does and a magura is easier to adjust on the move so there's pro's and con's with each setup.
  15. That sounds awesome! Wish I lived nearby for it!!
  16. The wheelbase is the distance between the centre of the front and rear wheels, bb means bottom bracket height. If you can imagine a straight line drawn from the front to the rear axle the bottom bracket height is measured from that line. And any bike would be good for you, it's all down to what you prefer, what you feel comfortable riding, how big your budget is, what type of riding you'll be doing, etc....
  17. Quick google came up with this http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9335 I can never find what I want when I use the forum search function!
  18. Yes but check your actual email address linked with the account!
  19. I modded an evo mount to do it on my heavy tools, can show you how it was done if you like or I could email you a how to on it??!!
  20. Check your email for info about getting a wider rim on a frame with 2 bolt mounts!

  21. How much you after?? Which one is it?
  22. Yeah I bled it properly, been riding bikes years and my dads a mechanic so deffo know that we cleaned the pads and disc up properly. Gonna just stick it on ebay now and get a mono trial instead!
  23. Then I'd say there's definately something blocking the pipe somewhere which will be causing the vacuum effect making the bleed nipple suck the brake fluid back in.
  24. All I can suggest is that there must be a blockage somewhere in the bleed nipple or it's not opening fully. Is there fluid coming down the pipe?
