  1. pic quality is shit, but that sidehop looks massive. How big is it? Gav
  2. Tarty should make one up for you. Why don't you just phone and ask them? tell them what you want and they will make it up for you.
  3. check the cranks incase there rounded tighten the bolts with a big allen key or bar.
  4. where can you buy majic pads from, and for how much?
  5. look at the pros and cons thread then decide http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=70219 Gavyn
  6. Its on biketrials.com so i thought i would add it. Its abit outdated though but, meh!! Choosing between stock and mod Both modified and stock trials bikes have pros and cons: Modified (20" wheels) Pros: Superb standover clearance Easily manueverable in most every circumstance, especially anything rear wheel Less expensive Less parts to break Nearly impossible to bend the rim of a well-built 19" rear mod wheel running enough tire pressure Learn to sidehop up to both sides without worrying about a rear derailleur Cons: Some people may think it's a BMX bike A pain to ride more than a mile or two on May be harder to find parts for it Harder to roll down things Easier to go over the handlebars (but less scary when you do) Doing wedge or wheelbase moves is less comfortable Stock (26" wheels) Pros: More stable Bigger wheels = roll everything easier Easier to do wedge or wheelbase moves Easier to pedal-kick on odd surfaces because of the larger diameter wheel You can ride to your riding spot easily (if you have a seat and working gears) Looks more like a mountain bike People won't ask you to "grind" stuff or think you do BMX vert or street Cons: Bigger bike = less standover clearance = pain if you fall on the bike Easy to hit knees on top-tube of most bikes Less room to work with for bending down before sidehopping, bunnyhopping, etc. or when absorbing landings More expensive because of greater frequency of breakage and more parts to break Rear derailleurs - easy to smash into things (though most bikes have replaceable derailleur hangers that will bend before the derailleur is broken) Wheels - 26" size = easier to get out of true or taco (20" wheels are extremely hard to ruin when built and used properly) Chain can slip down or up a gear while you ride if your chain is too loose, or you smack your derailleur in section and break it Heavier Gav
  7. The comp was great thanks to kevin and anyone else who helped. ft will boy, did you go to the comp? might have seen you.
  8. sorry about the use of word, copied it from tarty
  9. Why don't you just phone them the worst they can say is "no".
  10. 3 stage warm up 1 cycle to your destination with speed to get the heart rate up. 2 stretch out your legs, abdominals and arms. 3 do some small scale trials eg; a few backhops or a small hop up a wall
  11. Monty; the steel one it weighs only 6.5kgs
  12. I love my tensiles but don't get the new ones the threads are crap
  13. when never metioned an xtp at all.
  14. They are one of the best frames i've ever ridden pros: They are very strong, i've never heard of one snapping. The welds are all to a very high standard. They are long so loads of room in the cock pit. They are very flicky; which helps with sidehops. They are very low; which also helps with tucks in sidehops. cons: They are a bit heavy; but this doesn't affect me
