I sent my entery off via email last week (I believe it says you can do that on the site?) ...I cant wait

I am also tempted to get an alex rim...the 06 echo rims are TURD!! worst rims I have ever used. Not liking the narrowness of the alex though actually...my bikeshop (blazing saddles) has 1 planet x bmf rim in...its 36 hole though (dam these echos being 32!) when I get my hope hub I will probably get that

cant stand the taste of alcohol...so ribena or pineapple juice for me

I did most of my improvment on my ti global frame.... I had already been riding for years, but when I rode that bike my comp results went up. the year I was on that bike I got: 3rd porthcawl trophy master catt (beaten olny by two world champs!) 4th tech 04 masters british champ overall (winning all rounds!) thats the best year of results I have had.

I want somthing like that... I have a real problem with arm pump when using my braking finger..... my powerball doesnt seem to help as I am keeping my fingers still rather than moving them which is where I get my problem. I thinks I need to make somthing

I got a bit fed up of my long control. It just didnt seem to fit me, doing stuff was a task rather than fun. I even found it too much to handle for comps....there was too much bike to move around. I now have a medium Ashton, but it also has a steeper head angle...now this is bad for a couple of things, but overall it makes the bike pretty fun and flicky. When riding street I find doing the same old move pretty boring (sidehop this..tap that etc).... I like to make it fun and involve manuals, wall rides, pivots etc basicly when riding street I treat my bike like a bmx. I mostly like to ride rocks though and my shorter streetier bike seems to suit me better for that too. Long bikes are still great and will be popular....but I recken people should run them with a shorter stem and risers...it would open out much more stuff and be a lot more fun.

I would ague that it doesnt make any difference well, I couldnt tell between the two engagment wise.

dont think I ever saw this imfamous rock...sounds tricky

I just found the hope to be much more "confident" in its engagment, you could kinda feel it though the bike clicking in....gives a really confidence inspireing feel. Couldnt tell the difference in engagments from my king Lighter, I know the pro 2 is....not sure about the trials one....a kink with hd axle and funn bolts does add up. BRITTISH made!!! the best customer service EVER! dishless wheel...and room for 6 gears for comps or singlespeed...PERFECT!!

what an ace comp!! I REALLY apreciate everyones help to get it done, you put in so much effort, for other people enjoyment...it really means a lot to me. I loved the venue, loads of lines and even has a FULL PIPE!!! oh how I had fun in there I hadnt ridden natural for 9 weeks and I hadnt ridden natural on my ashton at all...so I am pretty happy with 3rd in elite. cleaned 5 sections in a row (including section 7 and 9!) I was very chuffed with that. The water section scared me....you couldnt tell how deep it was (luckily Dave showed us when he dropped into it....top man!! ) That dam gap at the end though, it nackered my rim, I didnt want to do it again incase it made it worse....sorry guys Cant wait till the next comp

I have tried a couple and I was seriously impressed!! as soon as I can get one I will, getting rid of my king hubs to get them too, thats how much I liked them!

I did however have my super spikey mud tyre on, so I didnt have any problems with grip untill I got onto the rocks That dam gap at the end though, it nackered my rim, I didnt want to do it again incase it made it worse....sorry guys Cant wait till the next comp

bad timing mate, its the funtrial on sunday....would have come out with ilo (if he could give us a lift) might be riding burnley or manchester tonight though.

mine was short too, but it was nice to see places I recognize bit off topic...but I was riding burnley last night....might do again tonight...fancy comming out?

is there anywhere we can download membership forms and comp enteries? I would really like to take part this year.

Hi neighbours I have a crappy old TY175 trials bike, the nut that holds the filter thingy onto the tank has split (I think its reverse thread too) I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy one from (and its proper name ) or if anyone themselves have one? (X-Dream??) cheers pimps

think it was July 03, thats what it says on my pic anyway loving the paint job on the yaabbaa too

no reason for all the comparasons really, I aint bothered they look the same..infact, I am pretty honoured that my design was plausable
