Zoots are actually quite nice on the backwheel once you're up... but spins and bunny hops seemed very hard on all the ones i've been on

John told Dave that after waiting nearly a year for this frame, he has to wait further until other peoples frames have been built.... "Shipping is too expensive" to send 1 by 1. This sounds like a joke. I know. It's not... It's not John's fault and he's been helpful but I'm really not sure why he has to get involved. Can't this Marino guy answer his own emails?

Not too far from Longleat mate. I'm around the Mere/Wincanton area! I've been riding all this year after having about 10 years off

Thinking of treating myself to a Silex V2 this xmas. Geo seems nice and streety. Could hardly find anything about them on here via the search.

All true. My mate Dave (the guy who ordered) sent him the deposit and specs in January. Marino guy was OK at replying at first. Just after it got finished and painted in July (which was far later than advertised) he's heard nothing since despite emailing him. Found the Marino owner guy on instagram. He's always on holiday in bike parks around the world...

Frame still hasn't arrived. It's been fully finished and ready to ship since July... Marino have also stopped replying to emails but happy to have taken the deposit earlier this year.

Say hello!

I'm about an hour from Bristol. Ride there occasionally.

I'm in Wincanton but occasionally go to Yeovil!

Yep. Everyone's got a phone. Not that hard to email clients that have been waiting months for an update, after being told it's 4 weeks away.

Yep. That's got to be Daves. Looks great but shame the Marino guy failed to mention he was going on holiday around USA bike parks for months. Checked on his FB. That must be the real reason for it taking 5 months instead of the advertised 4 weeks. Little bit of communication could of solved everything.

I've got those new MT Trails. For the money, I don't think the braking power can be matched. I'm using 203 shimano ICE rotors front and rear and Jitse/Trial tech pads. Once they bedded in, the power and been consistent and very hard. I trust them 100%. I had a go on some MT7 Danny macs....apart from the lever feel which was very nice with the HC3 levers, the stopping power was basically the same.

Nice, thanks Ben!

Do they come with installation instructions and does it require a re-bleed?

Thanks guys! Ordering some.

As the topic states. Can't get a clear answer off Magura.

Changing my stock Magura mt trial pads to Jitsie's made a huge difference for me. Went from being good to VERY good. Since then, I've upped my rotors from 180 to 203. Crazy bite and power now.

Nice man! How did you get the chain perfectly tight with no tensioner? I'm just about to change my rear hub to a hope pro 4 trials. Quite want to ditch my tensioner if possible.

Awesome man. When you do guys ride Southampton and where? I'm about an hour 20 mins away but up for coming to ride for a day. Msg me.

I've got some Jistie Airtime 2 gloves. Very thin and lovely to use and keep the wind chill off.

Anyone about?

Trial tech foams didn't cut it either. Been on the ODI vans lock grips for 4 days now and it's been lovely. No hand issues!

I've got the Fourplay "Fuse" which is basically the same with Avid BB5 cable disk brakes. It's soooooooooooooo nice. The Avid BB5's work so well I don't feel the need to upgrade yet. http://www.spherebike.com/index.php/en/grid-products/inspired-fourplay-fuse-24-bike-silver-avid-bb5-detail Only down side is they definitely "feel" like cable brakes but they have plenty of stopping power. Never had the back wheel slip out.

Thanks guys. I'd prefer to ride without gloves but I did just buy some Jitsie airtime 2 gloves just in case. Edit - Gone with the trialtech foams from tarty!

Back into trials after a 10 year break. Grips that have come on my new inspired fourplay are rubber and very thin/hard. After a days ride I have to take a few days off due to mega blisters on the palms. I had an onza I rode for 2 months before this and didn't get any blisters but can't remember what the grips were like. Been checking out the lizard skin lock on grips that have loads of squares on the grip pattern as they look quite soft. Any experience with them?
