Not bad. I can't stand it when it rains though because nobody wants to ride and I get stuck at home. If it carries on much longer I will have to brake out the Cannondale and go for an Xc ride!

Hi mate, I think that it has around 1100 wheelbase (fork depending),380 back end + 10 BB and 72 degree head tube.

Considering what you are running currently, You should notice quite a big difference from your existing freewheel. The tensile freewheel does seem to do the job rather well and for the price it does seem to be good value,It is a good choise if that is your budget but if you can stretch it further You could get a loose seventy two for about 40 quid. Meony.

What are those sea defense things like to ride on, I have seen videos with guys picking their way through and look pretty tricky! Plus it looked like it might have been windy also.And finnaly, How did you get on score wise? Cheers Meony.

Hey Tom, Man you work fast!. How long do think it will be before you get your van?

If the choice of brake is not in your decision you could always toss a coin for it, that usually works for me! Meony.

You also have to consider the wheel diameter as this will greatly effect the distance the gear actually propels you :26 inch in one revolution will travel along the ground further than a 20 inch will. I think this is the relevant equasion. Front sprocket- Divide by rear sprocket- Multiply rear wheel size. The lower the product number the shorter the total distance traveled, the easier the gear. Hope this helps, Meony.

It is a little cliche but red and white is an awesome cobo, plus you can normaly get parts from any manufacturer as red seems to be the colour that they all get to a similar finish. Meony.

With that kind of cash it would be sensible to go second hand, But if you go down that route try to find someone fairly local to you so you can see the goods as trials kit gets plenty of beats and you don't want to throw away you money. Meony.

Helo mister Coffee, Idon't know if you have checked yet but Tarty had some of Dengs various companies freehubs going silly cheap! Deffinately worh a look. Meony.

I don't think that it maters what the weather is up to, If I really want to go out and ride not even Hulk Hogan is gonna stop me. Meony.

I don't know why but Queens Of The Stone Age are awesome to ride to, But thats just me. Meony.

As long as you have the correct hose fittings it shouln't be a problem(Hope changed their brakelines and bayonets) Check with the trials Tarts they know everything you will ever need to know. Meony.

Hi there, The Hangers on most of Dengs bikes all have a common pattern so if any of the other makes such Echo,Adamant,Zoo are listed then yours should be compatable. I would Email Tartybikes If you are unsure as they are the most helpfull bunch out there in trials land. Meony.

Hey Tom its Iain, I am looking foward to see you riding that thing,Are you working on a vid?

If you can afford it perchase a Rolhoff chain tensioner, I promise you it will be a wise perchase. If you can't quite afford one Tartybikes have a good selection and will give you any advice that you need on the best set up for your bike.

I think it really depends on what you want from your brakes. If you are still learning and making mistakes it would be best to use rim brakes so you have no rotor to damage, and if you mostly do street this makes more sence. Also if you have been looking at the top UCI riders they are starting to all lean towards rim brakes.

Hi Ali, you have a good chance of snapping up a bargain as it is the crimbo season and the new Onza models will be out soon so the previous years bikes should be going cheap. Traul the web shops and you should find you can get a better bike than you first thought. Meony.

Helo there, I would take a good look at the new Yaaba Stinger or possibly the new Zoo pirahna.

Hi Nacho, my name is Iain and I have been riding biketrials for 13 years give or take on both 20 and 26. To answer your question, it comes down to preferance really,A 20 inch is always going to be more responsive and flicky to ride but it lacks reach and is harder to flow on and front end moves can be difficult. 26 inch is a bigger bike to lug about but is much more stable, plus becuase the wheel diameter is greater it fares better on thin stuff like rails and pointy things. I decided to keep one of each because I belive if you can you shouln't deny yourself any riding fun. Hope this is of some help, Meony

I to was in this pickle, the only way to know for sure is to sling a leg over and see what they feel like. I went for the koxx personally, even though the bike is only 995 wheelbase and I am over 6 feet tall, the geo works beautifully. also it felt more balanced to ride which gives you a lot of confidence to push yourself.

greetings fellow trials fanatics, My name is Iain Powney and I am currently 30 years young. I have been riding trials in some form or other for 13 years now and I think that is time well spent. I am sorry to all of you who know me for not signing on any sooner but, I dont really have much time spare to keep in touch.I will try to make an effort though, cheers Iain
