Siders77 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Sorry mate but I don't really like it, but as long as you are happy with it that's all that matters. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 (edited) I actually quite like that, old skool. I would change the back brake and take that thing out of the front wheel but thats it. Bet its good for street :( Edited January 20, 2005 by scunnytrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Lookin good, probably wouldnt change any of the parts unless for forks got on my nerves but would probably spray it. All black or something :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I dont like the new lettering you've got, but it does look nice with the sus. Hope it rides well, I can imagine that frame suiting it. Im kinda pondering getting sus for my pashley but at the same time I know I wont ride it enough to justify the money spent :(" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skandy32 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 (edited) cheers for the comment chaps. About the suspension thing, inititally i kepty swapping from these to rigids, and back again, and again, and agian, untill eventually i got fed up with moving the maggura, i just rode so much with the suspension i grew to love it. i have found..... Front bumps = easier, the forks take the impact of a hard bump, yet you still get sprung up there! Bunny hops / manuals = easier to get the front end up, and it also means, speedy streety landings can be back wheel first and not hurt! In the end, i have not noticed any lack in performance, (i.e. hieght i can back wheel), i can still do everything i could, and more! I'm now starting to ride ramp more, and am thinking of a higher gear for better streetness. sorry about the essay..... but i'd highly recommend people try suspension for trials (for longer than 2mins, because it does take a few hours worth to get used to!!) :( Edited January 20, 2005 by skandy32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
