kaybs41282 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Steve Peat rode for team mbuk, rob warner was thin with long hair, Hans Rey (hasn't really changed) Martyn Ashton's "massive drop off" into sand and Mint Sauce was interesting to read! Oh and Bike 99 was amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Might have a few more. Remember when: Shimano 2 pawl, single spring freewheels were the best trials freewheels around. You welded your 19" rim when the sidewalls got too thin and started to split. Monty used a strange 1 1/4" headset which posed huge compatibility issues with anything else on the market. Riders actually sat on their seats when riding between obstacles, some of the plastic trials specific ones would break during vigorous pedaling and turn the seat post into an anal probe. Can't think of any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They protected your frame til you hit it really f**king hard, then you got creases along the downtube from the steel rods haha. Excellent.

murph82 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 The tongue bros debut in mbuk.jumping across a canal lock and riding that rock face the martyins rode in dirt. After watching chainspotting did anyone consider porthcawl to be of more significance than the wailing wall? mecca was in the west! Speaking of mbuk, wtf. I was in hospital all last month and someone kindly bought me a copy.............the only trials related bit was director of danny macs industrial revolutions being interviewed, no hip hop, nothing! not even trials parts or bikes advertised, its that tartys doing?
