Anyone got any experience with handlebar mounts for your phone? I've had a couple that clip them in like car mounts but they were a bit big and bulky, just after something that absorbs a bit of shock and isn't too big?

Pro 2, either trials or regular

Nope afraid with 4 bolt there's no other choice!

Yeah it's down to the length of them, I've always used Hermes for bars

Pretty much solves where I find it went downhill

Frame looks awesome Adam, the rear triangle and dropouts make it for me. Great job!

I think if they ran comps at downhill and race venues like they used to do for the worlds and had a specific, shall we say "MTB" class then you'd appeal to a greater audience and maybe open the door to more manufacturers. The problem with trials specific bikes is they evolved with the comps so they needed to be more focused on rear wheel manoeuvres and static moves as the layout of sections changed.

I disagree, the problem with trials is even simple techniques take a long time to not even master but get started on so a lot give up early on. Anyone can jump on a hardtail/full sus and fly down a hill or go to trail centre and have fun and it's an instant pay off.

Yeah when Onza released the Zoot (the recent green/black one) I saw a lot of kids riding them and despite the weak frame issue they were a fantastic step into street trials and trials in general. I did a comp at Shipley Glen with a guy who had bought one to get back into riding and it was perfect!

Honestly I'd say you can't go wrong with this from the for sale section https://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/198597-onza-limey-4-complete-bike-£400/

Last night made up for it believe me, freight trains can go f**k themselves...

I just can't get into DC films, everything about them just feels cheap and tacky. Even to the point where I'm struggling to watch the actors in other films after seeing what a shite job they've done already. In massively late news I watched Fury the other morning at work after seeing one of the reaction channels I subscribe to had seen it and I hadn't. Really enjoyed that, think I need to watch Dunkirk now though!

I remember when people used to make topics asking whether people stood up or sat down to wipe their arse....

The chainstay could be a mile long and it doesn't affect how many times you turn the cranks to turn the wheel a certain amount, a 22t chainring will always turn a 11t rear cog 1:2 (think that's the right way round) no matter how big the distance between the two.

Still loads of straight RS kicking about, I had a pair of Pikes cheap off ebay a while back

Kids have been back at school for a week and already my daughter has got to self isolate for 10 days after someone tested positive. That means she'll go back in next Thursday for 2 days then it's 2 weeks off for Easter, f**kin joke!

Need to build a cheapish wheel up for my sons 27.5 and wondered if anyone can recommend a decent budget rim to use? Or even better does anyone have one or a pair spare?

Need some help guys as my head is fried! Situation is I bought a Pro 2 EVO a while back to buid for my sons bike and I've just been having a tinker and my head is gone. The ID on the freehub bearings is bigger than the axle so it doesn't fit snug. I have a spare axle which I assume is 148mm as it's longer and the ED of that is the same from the bearing seat all the way down (which the freehub fits perfectly) but it's obviously too long as I need 135mm. I thought it had maybe had an original Pro 2 axle fitted at some point but then I compared it with one from a standard Pro 2 and the taper inside the hub body is different and I don't know exactly what the difference between a Pro 2 and Evo axle is. Got some QR end caps as well which I bought for an Evo which fit the bigger axle but not the one it had fitted (or the standard Pro 2. This is why I hate working on Hope hubs, far too many part numbers for one thing! On the plus side, the standard Pro 2 I stuck a bolt through axle and new freehub body on is perfect! Ideally I could do with a 10mm bolt up axle but a regular axle I can fit the QR end caps on will do if anyone can link me one?

Wow I didn't know that, Trashzen was a great site for people just getting into trials and the section he set up of oldskool bikes was great. Sad times

I hate doing them, especially when you've got to do two or three in the same rafter. Always mess at least one up every time, doesn't help doing it on a 100yr old farm roof built from allsorts though!

Can someone please explain when Charlie stopped being a tiny boy smashing a Monty 207 round?! The level of his riding is absolutely ridiculous especially with how off the cuff he makes some of those huge moves look.

Looks clean enough that Dave! Done the 5 mile commute on the Big Dog that I used to do daily on my Genesis CdF a few years back. I fully expected to be slightly slower because of the extra weight and tyres so an extra 7-8 mins doesn't bother me but the best bit is the fact it doesn't feel like hard work riding on the road.

That's gods punishment for denying us videos for so long

That feels like it needs to be in this
