  1. i started few months ago to learn opposite sides,i used to go with my forward foot forward and could get the height and distance sideways if there was a gap.but on my right side i feel better goin straight up and can get more height but feels realy weird going into a sidehop with bit of a gap inbetween.i just put it down to more practice and my body feeling more natural with my lead foot against the wall. but is definatly very handy to be able to do id both ways as it gets you out of more situations in comps and opens more up to you.

    just watched this on tribalzine,quite amazing how much control he has on the technical bits and in general considering its a moto trially his back wheel ability is insane if you take into consideration the weight of the bike
  3. you sure you chose the right freewheel? iv heard there is louder ones than the sl on the market
  4. have youy got a freewheel noise fetish? the noise is irrelivant realy,there brilliant freewheels thats all you need to know just wait and buy one rather than keep asking whether they sound nice or not. lots of people run the sl freewheel and swear by them.
  5. seen one before and fairly sure there in that much room to accomodate a larger wheel and tyre,plus brake mounts will be out unless your running brakeless. did you get the bits i sent?if not youl def have them tomorrow where you wana ride sunday?any thoughts?
  6. im goin to try for a laugh,got my brakes working even better now than the last time i rode with you there mental now but so noisy
  7. mite turn my forks round and see if it makes any difference , mite turn my forks round and see if it makes any difference ,
  8. i got my coustellier pads from trialsden,there absolutely amazing so much bite and hold wouldnt use anything else i ran some coustsinks few years ago they were good but the coustelliers are so much better and sound so mental PROPER HONKS
  9. to mark w yeh frame is abit more its a hydroxx lt and forks new rockman spades to. to wigan im running coustellier pads(not heatsink version)
  10. hi,got my new hs33 today.pads dead flat to rim and square(using tnn clamps)absolutely no air in system as bled 6 times each brake to make sure. lever feels very nice nice positive feel,pads move the moment i pull lever BUT it just doesnt feel solid when i pull brakes on? my old brakes once the pads hit the rim you could barely pull brake and further other than usual fork/frame flex which is minimal Could you please share your experiance with me as its very disappointing to the point of putting old ones back on thank you
  11. whos that rider then?do i know him
  12. no thats yours,suffolk sheep buggerer.evrytime i turn round when i ride with you your on my bike and i get left riding a kids bike that feels like you put it together with plastic kids tools
  13. think you got my bike mixed up with your pill of dog turd ,im scared to ride it.my bike is in perfect working order thankyou should think of it as a lesson how a bike should be setup.if you carry on offending me im going to report you
  14. or just get new rockman spades ,broke trialtech hs33 in 4months and tarty reckon urban are weaker than them spend more but less than try alls and get rockmans in my opinion,there so solid

    yeh guess 19pound bike weight is to much for there bearings,got new ones in now and are lovely and smooth.so if you goin to buy a set be prepared to have to change the bearings fairly sharpish.

  23. sweet vid looks realy nice with the slow mo. just wondered what freewheel you running as it sounds mental?

    i got a set of these hubs(non disc front and rear) last week built up lovely finish was nice look realy nice with my silver try all hole rims but the only problem i have is that the front bearings lasted an hour ,now they sound like fireworks goin off.i ordered some skf bearings for them today so problem sorted but just wondered if anybody else has a set and have you had the same problem?or is it just my set.
