  1. Just wondering if any of you guys have ever made some trials stuff out of mud because I was wonering how I could down my local mud jumps... Any ideas? Pics would be great!!! cheers lads (Y) :P :-
  2. Go to the shops (or email if they were online) and ask for written proof that you bought the part from them and how much if necessary That should do it - Good luck getting the money mate :P :P
  3. Never been fond of monty's.... I ride a barracuda subway :) :P but I'm getting an ashton justice frame soon.... :P :P :) I think for me that will be just right...
  4. Depending on how tall you are, your best off getting a zoo or echo or something, I'm getting a new ashton frame at the end of the month but I'm not very tall so a zoo or echo etc wouldn't be the best choice for me... Until I grow... :P :P
  5. Yer thanks mate what I might try (becuase I can't sidehop with a pedal kick) is try lurching up the nearby wall (about knee height) then slowly move round until I end up hopping up it sideways :P Genius :) :) :P
  6. I can do some I just have trouble hopping on the spot directly but I'm getting better :P
  7. Oooooooooooo that's one sexy ride, hope you get some evil riding done on that beast :P :) I'm soooooooo jealous.... :P Mind you getting an ashton at the end of the month.... :) )
  8. Duno about the XT-R boosters mate sorry, perhaps try www.tartybikes.com and look at the echo ones... designed for wide tyres apparently... Good luck mate hope I helped :P
  9. I need to improve more in trials and I feel I have succeeded in grasping all the basic moves, but what should I be learning next? I can already; Pedal hop up Lurch Some street/spinny stuff Hop off sideways about 6 foot... I am also getting a new ashton frame at the end of the month so it'll make things easier hopefully... What do you guys think... please give your opinion I need some views on this.... Cheers dudes :P :P Very thankful
  10. Mmmmmmm (enthusiasm just about creeping in....) Cool :P
  11. I had a DMR tension seeker and EVERTHING went wrong with it and it bwoke :P I have now just got a tiagra mech and it works looooovley :P (I'm using a cable tie to stop it "clanking" against the frame) :) :)

    Which To Get?

    Mmmmmm well I think the Ashton wins, it was my dream to have a zoo but I wouldn't mind having the same frame as the ol' guy :sick: I'll get the Ashton and more money for christmas....
  13. Ok thanks mate ;) :sick: :-
  14. Ok thanks very much mate is there any chance anyone knows of any cheap 18tooth sprockets I can buy (ie cheaper than £18 for an echo one) Cheers lads :sick: ;) :-
  15. I was wondering if I get a new echo trials crankset and a freewheel, would I be able to lock out my rear freehub with a single sprocket on it and run that without getting a new rear hub/wheel? Please also tell me if this is a seriously bad idea and any other sugestions.... Thanks guys, hopefully you can help... Nathan :sick:
  16. Never had either but the tensiles (although they look slightly heavier) in my opinion are the stronger of the two... :sick:
  17. I am getting an early christmas present and the Ashton frame is up on ashtonbikes for £264 inc. p+p However the Zoo! Pitbull 05 is on offer at tarty bikes! £300 + p+p... I was wondering which you guys think I should get.... Cheers lads :rolleyes: :S :P :P
  18. I was wondering weather you can replace a freehub (on my xt) with a freewheel? Cheers dudes.... :rolleyes:
  19. I am getting a martyn ashton frame in about a month's time to upgrade from my currnet barracuda subway... I am worried that because of the different chainstay lengths etc. I would no longer run a lucky-tight chain on my single speed set up... What mech would you advice me to get I'm going for ebay 'cos I'm tight :) :P I thought maybe a 105 or tiagra PS: I DO NOT want a chain tensioner because they are too expensive and I've already knackered one!!! :angry: Cheers lads :( :( :D
  20. 22-18 but I'm planning on getting some new cranks with an 18 then putting my 16 tooth sprocket on the back... :)
  21. I ride a 'cuda subway and I am getting on ashton frame for xmas.... I can backhop for as long as I want but since I've started lurching around a bit more, I need to be able to hop on the spot... No matter how hard I try I just can't do it... Can anyone help me out - Cheers dudes... (Y) (Y)
  22. I have merlins if you can get hold of some they're cheap I think and they're wicked! (Y) (Y)
  23. Fabulous in my opinion, although I'm getting an ashton instead, don't you want the raven 6? :) :S
  24. Yeah for definite that will make it ride a lot better :sleeping: B)
  25. Yeah that would look sufficiently sexual, however you make have to make a change to your forks, I think black is in order, in my opinion, you shouldnt really have more than three colours else it looks tacky... (Y) But it's your decision dude, do what you think's best! :) :) :angry:
