  1. next wednesday who is riding in whitby as i heard of a ride going on or something so whos riding so i know if its worth popping up?
  2. get used to it, get out there and learn how to crankflip with dmr v12 pedals with brand new pins and no shin guards like i did
  3. hi i dont know whats up with my zebdi but the wheel seems to be moving a slight bit inside the dropout, recently i snapped my mech hanger and i have bodged it together with an old brake booster while i get a new one ordered. it is moving enough for the back tyre to rub on the non driveside chainstay. anyway of stopping this or is it time for a new frame?
  4. yeah looks it doesnt it amateurs oh and why do they have to wear mavic 521s for ear rings
  5. i can sidehop gap slightly smaller than a car park space however big that is and i can 180 gap about 2 ft
  6. 2 bolt clamps will bodge onto 4 bolt mounts quite easilly put a washer behind the toothed edge and a large washer over the bottom hole (the one where it fixes to the 2 bolt mount on the frame) i have done this before when i got new forks with 4 bolt and did not have any clamps
  7. there pants i tell you PANTS! ALL OF THEM! only jokin tom im just jealous man i miss riding mine u need to teach me
  8. nope as i said i only have one account, dont see the need in more than that and also it must p*** off the moderators having to keep track of the same person on 3 accounts yeah i found that guys topic its different http://83.170.72.216/~trials/forum/index.p...topic=73304&hl= cheers
  9. hi i dont have any pictures, but the trial at addingham moorside in the end of february captured what trials is about for me. there was this little lad, adam i think they called him in the beginner class, he was about 4 years old and his dad was helping him around the sections, he did an awful face plant and i expected him to get up crying his eyes out, but instead he jumped back on his bike fully dedicated and still finished the section with a 5.
  10. sorry about the extra post, wont let me edit anyway, i searched the members for the username cvrtrials and nothing came up
  11. nope i only have the one account. do you have a link to that topic cheers

  14. it looks... errm different wouldnt a frame like that weigh a tonne?
  15. i found it was the other way round i had been riding biketrials for a year or so before i took up moto trials and after id learned the basic controls i picked it up reasonably quickly i would post some pics of me riding but i need to get this years membership pass for charltons
  16. i used to do that until i realised if i faceplant chances are il have no tongue left to stick out nowdays i ride with a calm concentrating face
  17. i beleived why the reason this happened on the 2002,2003,2004 models was the fact that gas gas tried to save as much weight as possible and this meant the durability of the parts suffered. for instance: they took as much material off the nuts and bolts as they could to save weight and if you look at the gear box on these compared to the older models they are an awful lot smaller. obviously, they succeded in making a light weight bike, but everyone i know who owned one of these bikes killed them
  18. i think you will find that the 1999 and earlier and the 2002-2004 models are well known for poor quality i ride a 2000 gasgas 280 and nothing has ever gone wrong with it and it runs lush been riding just over a year now
  19. i heard of the name before. the stock frame looks quite nice but the droputs look weak

  21. i think i kinda understand this mod rocker business. kinda like the rivalry between chavs and eveeryone not chav right?
  22. i got a hope m4 sat in my shed feeling all sorry for itself and i was wondering if it would be ok to bleed it with water? does this work anyone done it? cheers
  23. mid sounds good. where do they get the names "mod" and "stock" from anyway?
