i'd reccomend "the art of trials" by mr ryan leech great dvd,i think you can buy it from halford for around £20 .you can also try trashzen website ,like the dvd just on the net.steve

the best thing about trials for me is when i nail something that has taken ages for me to do ,for example i nailed a abubica x-up last night and i was so chuffed also it the freedom trials has compared to say dirt jumping or down hill,by this i mean trials can be done anywhere god i love trials

most trials bike wheels have 32 spokes on the front and 36 spokes on the rear (which is a good combination of strength and weight ) ,also the wheels are laced into different patterns with 4 or 3 cross being used on the rear wheel most commonly ; by saying cross i'm referring to how many time spoke cross other each over . the main key points of 20 wheels are . . . they lose speed quicker don't ride as easy as 26 over rough terrain stronger wheels pain in the bum to ride over a great distance the main key points of 26 wheels are . . . keep their speed better role faster (greater speed which is good when being chased by chavs ) weaker wheels role over rougher stuff easyer hope this makes sense,sorry if i doesn't i'm not to amazing at explaining . steve

i really like my fluecent green rims because the way they stand out from the crowd and my new tire (maxxis high roller slow reezaay ) i don't like how much my bike seems to attract mud and how it attracts chavs who always seem to want to pinch it steve

i'd go for a ready built then upgrade as you go,you then get to carry on riding without having to wait to save up for all your part what bike are you thinking of building or buying?stock or mod?

i enjoy hugging trees i also play snooker and do chainsaw carving

i'm wanting to get a smaller sprocket aswell but keep the same ratio so i have more clearance and have my chain wrapped around my current sprocket more my tensioner jockey wheels catch the sprocket with my current setup .if you don't understand i'll put a picture up in the not so distant future

hi,i want to fit a smaller freewheel to my stock bike,currently i have a try-all 108 freewheel but i'd like a smaller size like a 16 or something.who uses a small freewheel (apart from acs )?thanks ,steve

i like to watch trials films in slow motion ,works with me also were can you buy trials noir ?steve

for me i hate . . . mech hangers and being the only trials rider in banbury and wet tires and dirty brake pads and mud and chav scum also folk asking were my saddle has gone ,i'm really really tired of it now the end.

i also recommend try-all foam grips because they have good grip,lightish weight and cheap get some !!!

i don't personally use one put from what i hear they are far to much hustle i heard that it takes twice as long as usual to bleed maguras.if you look on the search thing you'll find some topics on it worth looking at good luck

hi ,im currently running 47mm rim and magura brakes ,i have set up the brakes properly (to the best that i can) but my cranks keep catching my brake cyclinders whenever i aply my brake although im running a 128mm bottom bracket ,where can i get a wider bb?also has anyone else had this problem? steve

zoo!pitbull 06 ,she is a beaty have a look on the link thingy for peoples bikes if you wanna hear the spec and/or a pic

fulltime student so i get a tenner from the nice guys at e.m.a and i work part time in focus d.i.y store and part time as a tree surgeon

its really really good,and its cheap so theres no excuse not to get it

hi ,iv'e been looking at brake pads and im curious to why they come in different lengths ?also what if any difference does a 35mm pad comparred to a 50mm?any help with these questios appreciated,steve

the reason why the tires seem flat is because there at really low pressures so we get more grip as for the pressure for your tires i cant give you an exact number because it depends on loads of factor like your weight , rim width ,tyre size and what type of trials you ride .i would experiment whilst riding ,you'll soon get the right pressure .good luck,steve

please don't have an argument about water bleeding as your going the most annoying thing about my bike is the chain snapping and punctures

looking bloody good there,how does she ride?also what brake rotor are you running?steve

what type of animal has a c#nt halfway up its back? a police horse

my favorite riders have to be . . . neil tunnicliffe danny holroyd ryan leech and kenny beally :bow: god i wish i was a good as them

im planning on stickers for her ,i cant find any though i fear there not availiable anymore

i recommend looking at tarty adams bike on tartybikes ,its kitted up lovely and looks sweet

i'm running mine at 18:16 at the moment because i got a ffw ,but i was running it at 15:13/12 with a normal hub it all depends on whats right for you mate,experiment .a word of warning ,try searching before you make topics ,folk get annoyed about these things .
