Surely if people need opinions on a product they can just ask on here

Those echo bars seem to have served you well why not just get those again if you need new bars.

Calm down. Pussy

I don't need lessons on fatherhood thank you. I think you should keep this about your invention and save the life lessons for a different thread.

It's just damage limitation I guess, like wearing a lid or pads. Worrying about your kids is only natural too. The whole tone is a little dramatic though.

I wouldn't say it was pointless, and I think your idea looks quite good. As you pointed out yourself, it's ironic that you should be concerned about losing a finger when I would have thought that somebody so safety concious wouldn't even consider riding trials in the first place.

I've never used a torque wrench, never stpipped a hub thread and never had a loose rotor. And I'm not alone. Manufacturers guidlines are all good but the implication that it'll all go wrong if you don't follow them is a bit far fetched. I also still have all my finger tips. If you spent half the time creating a solution to this supposed problem as you have to replying to peoples sarcastic replies then this thing would have been proto'ed, tested and put into production by now.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea but it strikes me as strange thats all. A bit of a contradiction.

This is a serious question. Why worry about people losing fingers when the act of riding trials is a lot more dangerous?

At the moment I'm trying to get the local council to cushion all walls, curbs, pavements and rocks to make them safer. I've also just bought an outfit similar to the one pictured above. I'm still not completely happy though so if anybody has any suggestions how to make trials safer please let me know.

I can see the point about rotors being potentially dangerous, but so are drop offs, gaps and other trials obstacles.

Saying ''no offence'' before saying something offensive doesn't really work. Although I would agree.

Still upset cos he turned you down I reckon

It is what it is. Personally I like to think I ride trials, not natty, tgs, street comp or whatever other names people come up with. I'm not too keen on thé sti thing either, It brings back some bad memories

Looks really good.

You can't really do a static tap. I think it stems from people being boring and only doing those three things.

Taps gaps nd sidehops

There should be about 5 from hull I think

We're a pretty friendly bunch in hull. Everybody's welcome

Your strength will improve with your fitness so concentrate on technique and take it easy. A lad came riding with us the other day after 3 years off and broke his elbow.

Use the helium to fill balloons and tie them all over your bike. You'll float and look cool so its win win.

I find gloves make it feel like I don't have a proper grip. They will help though but I think they need to be well fitted
