  1. I run a tensile freewheel but my mate uses a try-all one and straight of the bat it skipped like hell, he thought maybe it just needs bedding in ect but 4 months on and it still skips like mad. When ever he pedal hops or puts some power into the drivetrain it skips and makes a loud noise. The engagment on them feels real nice but from what iv'e seen & heard i would stick with my tensile which has been good as gold since the day i got it, well apart from 2 nights ago it turned into a fixed cog for 2 mins then went alright again
  2. I agree with you mate, looking at the amount of topics he has started and how pointless they are desperate for validation comes to mind.
  3. Mine at the moment has to be the crank flip on the back wheel: pogo on the back wheel then jump up spin the cranks as you leave the pedals and land back on the pedals feels good when done but feels bad when you get it wrong. Also learning pivots and finaly got a 360 pivot down and even got a 450
  4. Same question here: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=93089 I'd had 20 blue pallets before and i made many cool routes with em.
  5. Well out of all the tyres i have had the Maxxis creepy crawlers win every time but i must admit they do wear a little quick, so if it's the wear rate you wern't happy with how about trying the echo trials tyre, i have got one at the moment on the rear and the wear rate is alot better with little compremise of grip but the side walls are a little stiff for me so im going back to the crawlers.
  6. I havn't brought anything myself from america, but my dad buys loads of quad stuff from america & germany, He just looks up the price, email's them asking the shipping cost, then uses a curency converter to find out the total price and thats about it realy. the shipping can be abit pricey but still works out cheaper in total than in the u.k just make sure you find out the customs charge, usally if you ask them nicely they will send your purchased item as a gift meaning you will not have to pay custom charges anyone got any links for trials shops in america?
  7. I have a V!z BB and it's crap if you do the BB cups up tight the cranks are very hard to spin backwards and make a crushing sound and also if its to loose it makes the dodgy sound, and i find that it keeps loosening itself. so far im not too impressed.
  8. Clacton tomorow anyone meeting at train station about 11.
  9. Well i can only do stem height on my 20" mod :$ I have seen Andrew Chai do some huge sidehops. well they looked huge to me
  10. Welcome to the site , try and use proper spelling and not text talk
  11. I say tea , coffee to me taste's so bitter
  12. Awesome riding, great editing and i love the song choice, you make everything look so easy and effortless. oh yea and that rolling gap did look HUGE!
  13. I have signed London is good as it is for trials but with a skate/trials park it would be amazing. I hope it does get built everyone get signing.
  14. well the lad i brought it off said it was short yet i think its long and everyone that's had ago on it said it's long too, so i assume its long but theres always that doubt as the lad said it was short. lol :$
  15. I ride a GU long (I think) :$ it rides real smooth, feels so nice on the back wheel and very easy to throw about, feels realy fliky. also nice and light. Get one you wont regret it
  16. No way, i like to ride in the rain as it's good practice, so in the dry things become easyer plus in the wet i tend to learn new techniques of getting over things
  17. O.K cool cheers for that, that means he needs m12 then, Thanks again
  18. Well i always thought that if you sidehop up a wall then you go the oposite side that your chocolate foot (strong foot). Right footed = go left Left footed = go right Thats why i have been learning sidehops to my left, & I did find out sunday that it means you may catch and bend your disc if your right footed and get it wrong.
  19. May sound abit dum here but how do they measure the m15 or m12 is it the width of the bolt or length? :$
  20. Well i just followed this method: 1. Fill the bucket or the bath full of water. 2.Take the brake off of your bike and put it in the bucket/bath. 3. Undo both bleed bolts, the one on the lever and the one on the slave. (Underwater) 4. Pump the brake and you should see some air coming out of the slave. 5. Do this until no more air comes out. 6. Do up both of the bleed bolts. (Again, underwater) 7. Take the brake out and it should be air free. and it's worked perfect for me and no hassle atall.
  21. Right o.k cheers, sorry i cant give any more details on the BB.
  22. Hi i have a mate who is just getting into trials, he has a mission prodigy 20" mod and needs the crank bolts which hold the crank arms on, but what size bolts does he need? M12 which are on order @ tarty or M15. All i know is it's a isis BB but i dont know the make. Thanks for any help.
  23. Brought my bike for £450 which was just the frame, forks & wheels, i have built it up from there and it has now cost me £997 and i have all the receipts.
  24. I managed to buy mine by selling my honda cr 125r which i brought from christmas and birthday money put together and abit of ebay selling. I dont have rich parents all my hobies i pay for
  25. also the mirror finish would look good i think, like the try-all rims
