ding_dong Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi, welcome to the wonderful world of trials forum.Where abouts are you from?I ride mod, so I cant help you with the bike question sorry .Anyway, just stick to the rules and you will soon get validated, then you can post in the for sale sections ect this comes in handy if you are looking for the odd part of two, but you shouldn't need any thing for a few months yet as you are getting a brand new bike.Hope you stick at trials riding this time and good luck with it.Ding.

wayneone Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Get the rear wheel tensioned or do it your self as mine was quite weak. Other than that i dont think ive had any problems with mine except the courier man dropped the box off the back and knacked the gears but ive sorted them out now.

MesaMan Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Bike's meant to be sweet, you'll love getting back into it and a new bike/gear always makes you wanna ride more. Shame this bloody weather is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeZee Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 How much money are you getting for all this insurance? Did you have a golden bike, with handlebars made from unicorn horns. With a seat made from the cross jesus was crucified on?Either way, sure, I ride a spec1 T-rex, its all I could afford to buy with my hard earned cash, but had to upgrade it, cos some parts started to fail after 6 months. Its a great bike, although despite having strong stays, still could use a brake booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
