  1. simple answer monty bars are the best full stop
  2. yea as said take it apart get all the grease out and use a oil it wirks much better like this as well, also you can just slightly flex the springs abit, i did this with mine and they are fine 7 months down the line also my pro 2 is the loaudest this out
  3. thats what i was thinking to be fair
  4. bessell you complete bike whore, thats awesome
  5. 2nd that every time i watch rich i want to go and ride he is awesome, also he really makes me regret getting rid of my 08 pure
  6. i have had a 06 pro 2 for 2 years nearly its never skippd once even when one of the springs had snaped all i have had to do is replace the springs, cost hardly anything (but hope give you them if you ask) also had to replace 1 bearing other than that its just totaly mint they are the best out, also the 07 ones are even better. get one they are half the price of a king, and better
  7. i thought you was using a zenith frame?? they are the best for v set ups nice and lowe?? also i have modified a frame and cut the 4 bolt mounts short so the adaptor sits closer to the frame, works real well also i have left just enough to run a maggie as well
  8. i run dual v and i am never going back to a magura unless something brakes on my ultimate. i have used my v for months now and it is far better than any magura setup i have tried. i dont know why people say they dont have bite they bite like a little b*****d, and mine has never sliped on anything even when a grind is running low and its wet. also my mate quakers on here runs the same set up and his brake is so loud its unreal.
  9. yea 22 is by no means old mate, most sports men dont hit there prime untill they are like 28 thats ages away lol
  10. porters frame only craked due to a defect on the frame, so they are ultra strong and bessel ent snaped his yet.
  11. frame = ozonys (its been a real hit and it is defo the best frame out at the mo, just a shame i cant afford one ) well i have used all the shops the same amout so cant give a proper answer so i will brake it down tarty is best for comunication, riders, and trials knowledge, vids and pics on the forum and they look like they have some awesome rides. (postage price is the reason i go other places some times) trials uk, is cheap and has equaly as good deliver from experiance (just the fact i would rather use tarty that makes me go anywhere else) and trials man, used him 2 times, and he was a leg-end let me have a £47 bb for the price of a £32 one because the stock had ran out so i think they all have good and bad points, however i think the tarts just scrape it (also i forgot to add tarty have the best t-shirt design as well LOL)
  12. again thats how it done, to all the riders now, this is where trials started and it was so much fun
  13. abtrials

    DJ -crankflip.mpg

    shame what happened had to, really he was awesome. RIP DJ abingdon trials LEG-END
  14. all i know is it looks so so nice and joe should have got one LOL
  15. they are all fit but all lacking the 72.5 deg head angle which is what made the old one ride so so nice
  16. i have had both a v and a maggie, and i have to say my v is far better than my magura was, it has just as much power going forward as it does back (i think it differs for people that have a normal v, mine is an ultimate which has no play in it at all) also it is not harder to maintain i have had mine for 5 months now i am on my 2nd cable and not because the other snaped it just started to fray near the bolt, and i am still on the same set of fat pads (the best out there trust me) also i have no hastle at all if it needs to be adjusted i just undo 1 bolt and bobs your uncle or i could just adjust the lever?? and on top of that i never need to buy expensive pads again, all i need is 2 sets of fat pads and 2 cables every year which is dirt cheep. on the other hand maguras can be awesome but still once you have some pad ware you need to keep pissing about with then all the time.
  17. as manual has said there was lods of good bits out burns, hope xc leeson frames, bmf rims, etc etc.... i just had no money. so i would send back a maxxis tube and tyre (i had a snake bite every other second) the idea of a grid and heatsink v pads vith fat pad material. and a months wages (that i earn now) and i would have an awesome bike
  18. dont do it mate its nicer with the czar stickers, make some small ones and add to the frame
  19. simple rowan john's bike with him on it LOL manual machine (hence the name) but to be honist short frame low bb, and shortish stem with rise and riser bars usualy does the job, also brake with no grind usualy helps a fair bit....... the short pitbull 07 would be good im sure
  20. first to get there shair of the rental money to me gets shotgun LOL
  21. bump this needs refreshing as its all going ahead now, i have the 2 ltr mondeo booked for 5 days and im ready to go somwhere, just need more info on where in france to go anyone who can help please post up dont mind traveling day to day??
  22. the carbon effect one is ok, i think bigman use to use one on his simtra?? if it worked for him it will work for you, also i have an echo one but i have shortened mine and drilled it
  23. i have to say 74 kings easy to set up cheep to replace springs, easy and realy hard to hit or anything
