Sir_Hops_Alot Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 If you want tuition then look up ryan leech on youtube, he is the best thing to refer to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gathsano Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Your rear rim has a grind for a much better grip even in wet providing you have the correct brake pads. see TARTY BIKES. Tyre pressure is a preferance, i run about 40 psi but i weigh less than ten stone. If you want instructional dvd's then yes Ryan Leech is the man. Also, For new tires and so on see tarty bikes web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey again Andy, Hows it going?Anyway as to the help you need.1. (The Grind) Just leave it, It will were down but many riders on here use a grind for braking in the wet. 2. (Pads) Pads as you have a harsh gind on there, Go for the safe option of koxx bloxx browns.3. (Tyres) They will be fine for a beginer, but when they get more worn i suggest maxxis creepy crawlers. 4. (Pressure) Most people on here run our tyres sligtly flater than normal. Around 20-25psi for rear would be reet.5. Here You will see more videos at the side, They all have just a biker with a white background mate.Cheers Aidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon.Trials* Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I wanna say one thing, the best way for be a good riding is ride in natural, roks and roks,if you are good in natural, the street will be very easy for you later.but obiously, you must to know if you wanna do street trial or natural trial for win championships and have a good control in your bike.however you can do both trials, but i think is better do more natural than street, but street is fine somedays too.Sorry with my shitty english...
