Ravemonkey Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Spec of bike would be helpfulWiki is a brilliant place to find out how to do stuffLINKBut basically make sure your brakes work perfect and tyres are at a good pressureIf you want to learn trials trashzen is a good siteLINK Edited February 20, 2008 by Ravemonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 as the flea has v-brakes...consider getting some trials specific pads for a smooth rim ( check tartybikes.co.uk or heatsinkbikes.com ) , or getting a grind ( running an angle grinder around braking surface to roughen it and thus increase friction )Maybe consider investing in a pair of hs33s ( hydraulic rim brakes ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
