  1. i recently burst my rear hose and am upgrading to braided but being a new rider i didn't want to upgrade before understanding what the advantages to running braided hoses are. or disadvantages if u have any cheers mellon
  2. all depends on money and preference in my opinion, i run a White Industries ENO on my t-mag and i find it amazing i cant comment about cassette hubs because i don't have one but £80 for the ENO is a lot better than £180 for a profile or £300 for a KING although they are good hubs it all depends on your budget hope i have helped mellon
  3. just a quick question mainly to members but how do i put a picture above my name mellon
  4. i run a magura louise FR 180 on my onza t-mag they are brilliant mate i know u want a HS33 or the hope but the Magura disc is worth it hope i have helped mellon

  6. i have only been riding 4 months but i have noticed and i'm sure a lot of people will agree trials is all about fun and achievement and conquering fears of course having a sponsor is a bonus but just go out ride and have the time of your life doing it mellon
  7. it all depends on what bike you are riding i ride a T-mag and i run an ECHO team stem with Zoo! risers and it feels grate hope i have helped mellon
  8. the fall guy forks are strong and cheap and a bonus is that they look grate to hope i have helped mellon
  9. Go with the zoo! pads on the echo rim amazing grip, grate noise and a half decent wear rate can be a little slippy in the wet but will hold in wet with a light grind
  10. I have heard they are quite good but i stick by my Zoo! pads, simply because they have amazing grip and sound grate ware rate isn't to good but the results of using the pads are clear i have improved so much using them
  11. yeah but i wuold rather ask than rush into getting one ok many people like to know others opinions ok
  12. my highest is 9 blue pallets on seconde try as i jarred my wrists and ankle dropping it first time
  13. I currently ride an onza t-mag but want to progress to a better bike and i'm thinking about getting a GU 20" and i was just wandering if you ride one what are they like to ride and also what are the good and bad points on them i just want some info before i go and buy one cheers mellon
  14. i'm runnin a kmc kool but want a chain made of half links so its easier to make little adjustments to tension cheers mellon
  15. i run an echo red rim on the back of my T-mag (looks grate and you will notice the change in weight) £32 for the front £35 for the back depending on where you look for them
  16. My favourite rider has to be craig lee scott he is awsome, his sidehops are mental pluss the gap at nass he did pure craziness cheers mellon
  17. i run both the 06 rim and the riser bars. the bars feel a bit weird at first almost like they are sloping down but they are easy to get used to. the rim is also a star choice you can really feel the difference in weight plus they look grate whats more i am running mine on my standard onza hub and spokes from my ONZA t-mag cheers mellon
  18. dude i'm 5' 5" n i'm 12 and have no probs if u think your overweight it limits you think positive and you will achieve pretty much anything as long as your happy with your riding thats all that matters its who riding your bike no one else so have fun and just ride man even if people have a different apinion to you
  19. the supa trial tyres gone the only place i have found that sell the pair is in the US www.webcyclery.com but there has got to be a site in the UK that sell them ps. SELECT are going to start selling the pair in a few weeks mellon!!!!!!!
  20. MY BIKE SPEC Frame: Onza T-mag Fork: Onza Fall guy Headset: Onza Intergrated Stem: Echo team Handlebars: Zoo! Riser (red) Grips: Onza Front brake: Magura Louise 180mm Front hub: Onza Pro Front rim: Onza fully drilled Front tyre: Maxxis creepy crawler Rear brake: Magura HS33 Brake pads: Zoo!

  21. i think the best gloves out there have to be FOX HESH there thin yet tough look good plus they have to be the only pair i have had where i can ride a whole day and not feel any pain mellon
  22. allthough some websites really seem to love the creepy crawlers there is some problems with them 1.wear rate mine are nearly bald after only 3months 2.cracking down the centre of the tyre you will discover some quite tasty cracks but on the good side i've not yet had a pinch and they do have amazing grip but wear rate and cracking really needs to be looked at by MAXXIS mellon
  23. DO NOT buy the new Echo 2 bolt booster its to small for pro's and mag's plus it started to cross-thread my mounts best thing to do always ask the shop if they know that the booster will definitely fit other wise you either just waste money or destroy your frame be careful mate mellon
  24. I know exactly what you mean mate getting my stock onza BB out was a right kerfufull, but just determine which way the thread is put a adjustable spanner on the BB tool n just give it a little tap just to shock the threads and it should just pop straight out with any luck mellon
  25. after buying a t-mag about 3 months ago i knew that parts were going 2 start braking, my BB went about 2-3 weeks ago so i upgraded from the standard setup i had (onza BB/ onza crank and ACS freewheel) to a more reliable setup (try-all crank BB and the ENO freewheel) just one problem though the bolts on the BB are sticking out slightly i have tried to tighten them further but it isn't working and they still stick out about 2-3mm i was wandering if anyone has come across this problem themselves and how did you solve it??? would appreciate any response thanks, mellon
