theory really isnt as hard as you think,yeah revise but dont get worked up about it. passed theory and practical first time and had 20 lessons , i then did pass plus.i got my first car saturday,a x reg escort van 1.8td insurance is only £1060

if you take the time to set up the brake proper;y and have patience whilst it beds in it'll easily perform alongside hydraulic brakes costing twice as much.mines powerful enough to stop the wheel dead at 20mph or so(not that i recomend doing that ) my setup is a old style bb7,standard rotor and pads,clarks cables and a avid fr5 lever

keep up the good work,and wear a helmit

i dont advis using a simtra bar,it feels really bad ,as if your using a straight peice of scalfold pole

try some spacers under your stem if you want to lift the front end a bit higher cheaper than a new bar and stem combo

what pads are you running ?i bet its the pads thats causing the lack of brake power

im using shimano xt pads on my 24,i dont run a grind as my bikes not really set-up for riding trials ,and im finding these pads pretty good so i recomend them for the front,as for the rear plaz pads or maybe inspired pads

i think that combo would look better,in my opinion a wheel looks better when there built with black spokes

it does,i wasnt aware of the differance in grip rill after i was using the tire never mind

its easy ,try all on the front,and either a echo front or echo rear rim built to a back wheel . steve

i've found the white try-all's to have a longer wear life than black ones ,but this does mean the grip is less than the blacks but its still enough grip for most things . steve

went to brf offroad coarse, didnt get too much driving done really but ened up with a lot of work to bedone to the trucks we went down 1st slope following our mate once we started the coarse and at the bottom we winched some bloke out,then carried on following our mate along the track. he went over a slope leaving us stuck the over side ,so he turned around to winch us out ,whilst doing this he starting smoking well from his exhaust so he turned of his landy,but instead of it stoping it carried on running ! it then shot back picking up its rev's pouring black smoke all over the woodland ,at this stage he jump out as behind him was a lake and a group of trees, and it flew of the side of one tree and squeezed between another ending up parking into the landy i was just in,after a couple of moments of pushing it killed itself. this happened about 11:15,and it took us till 3:50 to get out of the coarse with the help of 3 landys ! i got some pictures i'll get up when i get the chance ,it might be clearer showing you guys what happened rather than telling you. great day lol ,cheers,steve

he wasnt the only one though . . .

i use a derailer just as a tensioner,mainly because its cheap and also easy to adjust.to keep it in position im using only a inch or so of outer cable and just enough inner,and i us the barrel adjuster thing to give me the correct line. steve

im suprised owen the bike whore hasnt posted yet,he's had more bikes than brum rides i reckon. my list: sarecen mad,the black bb drop rear disk/vee thing zoo! pitbull o6 simtra inspired fourplay adamant a1 im riding both the inspired and the a1 at the moment,inspired is my favorite just needs some alterations. steve

nah im cool man,got plenty here at hq mike,do you sell the material on its own?

i have had very simular service through dan at trials-uk as i have had from who-ever answers the phone at tarty bikes

maybe a bit early ,depends on train and if i need a 2nd breakfast

i dont suppose you'll be doing vee pads will you?

jolly good show ,bodgery for the win i say

as the brakes have been removed from your old frame they probably aren't set-up in a identical position as they were,so they need to bed them in to their new position on your simtra,just give it a few rides and it should get better. steve

all bolts and spacers included?if so sounds like the deal is on any other offers?im after two more boosters,shimano or salsa boosters preferably. should be good tomorrow,just a bit cold like last years one

went to get my costume ingrediants and the shop was closed never mind. does anyone have any vee boosters and or vee calipers they want to sell?please let me know if you do then i can bring some money along if it fits my needs cheers,steve

i know its a old topic but it saves making a new one. just wonder has anyone been to brf auto sports offroading site before?me and my mate went to avon dasset the other weekend and now were going to try this place out ,has anyone got any warnings or advise for us cheers,steve
