dont snap your chain

my old bike

You can ID them on the internet. www.nikeid.com i believe
-
I dont know about 6.0s but Nike sbs are really good for riding. The comfiest skate shoes ive ever had and easily the longest lasting, way better than etnies globe etc
-
rear tyre is the one place where its worth ignoring weight, have a look at scwalbe tires theyre pretty light + pinch resistant
-
175s or 170s are fine
-
Just the same as an xc. you have to pull pretty hard though as the seals are a proper tight fit
-
a simple answer to the height problem would be not to have a dirty big bb rise. or a higher rise stem would certainly look better.
-
Pinched that after 10 minutes of riding on a small gap, no thanks. That tyre is officially shit.
Hi-Rollers on the other hand are rather heavy?
i try all is heavier than a maxxis unless your running a front try all, which would be why you keep getting pinch's. go for the highroller/minion and a normal tube
-
Why would you ever want to?
-
best thing to do is compare it to a well built wheel, make sure you comapre it a wheel the same size though as 20" tend to be able to run tighter spokes
-
Maybe you got some dodgy pads. or speak to tarrty about it. try roughing your psds up and bedding them in properly first
-
have a look around their site and see if theres anyway of getting hold of someone about it. or try speakin to tarty as they used to sell them
-
Just persevere with it, work your way around from the valve so you finish opposite the valve. or go to the gym
-
drill holes in things. front v brake. take the inner cage off your pedals(will make them feel better too).
-
my heatsink blues sometimes go crap, i usually take a sharp knife and cut the top layer of material off then the seem to work fine
-
If you aint got the guns to do it by hand apparently putting it in a bucket of boiling (or very hot) water makes life easier as the tire expands abit
-
argos cycles will do it but its about £50 if i remember correctly so prob not worth it for a t pro, u could prob pick one up off ebay cheap
-
yer ashton so much nicer than nice bb crap
-
why do you want your pads to be noisy? aslong as they bite and hold well thats all that matters
-
Its more a dirt jump allround bike. Saying that lenosky is pretty good at trials on his. If you just want to ride trials go for something more specific, look at onza or somethin. If your gonna ride loads of different stuff go for the stp its a fine bike

I run a UST (Tubeless) Super Tacky 2.5 High Roller. And yes, i do run Tubeless on my trials bike. The tyre takes on it's own form (rather than being pushed out by a tube) making it alot more "Plyable" and grippy.
Being Ust the tyre has a steel bead and a Three ply Sidewall, making pinch flats really hard.
Dual Compound makes the sides softer than the middle, but thats £5 more !
Jarrod
Pinch flats are impossible on tubeless, thats one of the main advantages as theres no tube to pinch
Id go for the maxxis minion or highroller as the tryall is too soft to last on street. go for the maxxis in standard compound
-
went exploring in bristol today, turned out to be pretty good
-
Try the factory and being very persuasive/nice. Otherwise just keep an eye out on ebay

I really dont get how riding in tracky b's and funny shoes will make you ride better, seems abit over the top to have special riding outfits. And tracky b's do look crap but if thats what you like fair enough.
