I have just made an ultra pimp protector for my ashton, nice and small, wont smash, carbon outer layer I'll post a pic in a sec EDIT:

marta!! best brake ever super light, super powerful, really really nice brakes.

before you buy somthing, make the chain as short as possible, the spring in the mech will be tighter then putting more force on the chain to make it tighter, this is normally enough to stop the problem.

check ebay, they sometimes have pimp rare stems (like syncros) in weird lengths and rises and for cheap as no one ever wants them

I kinda take it a stage further, I have a different set of wheels with tyres already on, takes 2 mins to swap them over. I mainly do it for comps though, keeps my comp tyres nice and sharp.

no, cramp is different to arm pump. cramp is pain in the muscles arm pump is numbness in the hands and arms (what I get....badly) I get cramp in my hands if I go on a trials motorbike, but that because I aint used to it. If I have new shoes or pedals, I can quite often get cramp in my feet, thats annoying

Ali C hates turkey and chicken, so they are off the menue I hope. I really want it to be the best meat ever....pork, with lots of fat! mmmmmmmmmmm

I am getting.......errmmm.....I have no idea I think my mum and dad might take my camcorder to get fixed as my pressie, dont know for sure though.

another vote for the koxx greens, ruddy good on a grind!!!

yep, they are good for those things, but to ride them is just.....errrmmm......boring really. the way some people ride mods you wonder if they even need a chain or wheels at all

they are fun, at times. I just dont get any satisfaction from riding them at all, I rode mod for two years, it has nothing on stock!

lol, make a vid to see how far you can gap off it narr, by preload I meant squash into the bike a bit more as you leave the edge, and try to soak it up more if you can, the angle was a bit hard to tell how much you wee doing so.

I am gonna have to put somthing in my sig, "mods within 10 yards of me will have their tyres slashed"

were you jumping out aswell as down? also preload more and get some arm muscles to hold on better lol

as I hate mods with a passion I am gonna say stock. BUT!! if money is an issue, the mods start at lower prices. That biketrials site is really out of date, I wouldnt base your choice on that. heres how I see it MODS Pros: lighter easier to learn stuff total control of bike stronger wheels (not by much nowerdays though) Cons: look stupid (debatable ) are too easy to ride, you dont learn valuable skills a heavier harder bike will teach. can feel really twitchy to ride cant roll over rough terrain as well. STOCK Pros: looks nicer (well, most of them ) more stable (doesnt feel like an exspensive pogo stick) teaches valuable riding skills roll over stuff easier cons: Takes longer to get good on one mech to brake off (unless you dont run one) wheels are easier to buckle (not by much nowerdays though) heavier I say go stock, you will end up a better rider in the long run, the extra weight will build muscles faster, you will learn not to be relient on a bash plate and if you ever do get a mod in the future, you will be extra good on one.

glorified pogosticks

I feel the opposite I HATE HATE HATE pythons with a passion, they are THE WORST bikes ever. Even if he went and got a barbie bike that would be a huge improvment on a zoo. so good on him, finally getting a decentish bike (only if he gets a stock as well )

the more frames out there, the better for trials in my eyes.

1) Ashton Justice 2)echo control 3)koxx kenny bealey 4)onza limey 5)onza t rex

never heard of it

v brakes own maggies anyway

I might be a bit biast, but I recken its an ace mod cirtenly one of the better looking in my eyes. I will be honest and say that it could be better speced, but I would rather have the things like vee brakes to maggies, but maybe nicer cranks and rear hub would be nice. never ridden one though, so cant comment on that

I had a 1065 control and loved it, infact I liked it more than my 1085 virsion. I am gonna get an ashton very soon, so only then will I be able to say which is nicer.

errm, I think Iolo was maybe hinting about a different company comming out, maybe begining with "I". How did your frame ride pete? cos to be brutally honest, it really does sound horrid to ride but whatever floats your boat I guess

I would come, but 2 reasons stop me. 1) dont like leeds. 2) too many people are going. Hope you have fun though, be sure to get lots of pics and footage of the police arresting everyone (and maybe some of any riding that gets done)
