if your struggling really bad try a local signwriters. They would probably be able to produce something for you if you supply the logo but i expect it would be quite costly Rob

Also an idea could be to have a search on this site before you attempt to do a job as you will probably find some hints and tips. If you cant find anything from your search just ask and im sure someone can help you

there are some cycle maintenance guides that are very helpful available in halfords. As for fixing things go the best advice is to take your time and think logically, bikes arn't too difficult

your correct a soft pad will just squish onto the rim but you need the extra force a harder pad would provide. Its the same as a race car racing in the wet and dry. Softer in the dry, harder in the wet

A harder pad will work better in the wet as it will be able to put more force onto the rim making it bite. A grind would help serious amounts though as it gives little channels for the water to escape and some high points for the pad to grab onto. Just basic physics but being new to trials i dont know which pad is which Rob

next time it goes in make sure its greased up and buy decent tools that fit perfect and it wouldnt have rounded off (if you use them properly)

looks like loadsa fun Just try not to dig a pedal into it lol

top vid, some good riding there May pop up that way for a ride sometime if i can talk my mates into it!

must be cheap as i'll no doubt break it and would be a shame to waste a good bike on me lol. It needs to be a mod too so it can be chucked in the car and go to different riding spots. Let me know what youve got
