  1. im going to be moving down to portsmouth in january and just wondering what the riding scene is like down there. also be cool to speak to a few riders off here before i go so i have some riding friends. so if you fancy a chat add me on msn - orangeairo87@hotmail.com
  2. hey guys im just starting out in trials so im looking for a stock bike as i prefer them to mods. im unsure what to start on though. i dont have alot of money about £400 anyone got any ideas?
  3. ok so maybee im not really a trials rider as i dont ahve a bike yet but im a downhiller and i run my tyres at like 20psi most of the time at my local track which is quite gnarly and not exactly slow as you can see(check the web address below). http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/1010825/ dispite this i havent had a puncture since god knows when all im running is a set of maxxis high rollers on mavic 729s with nokian DH tubes maybe a lil on the weighty side but it works my advice is get sum phat tubes and let your pressures down you'll be gripping like a beast
  4. for spoke length calculations check out the DT swiss spoke calculator its pretty cool calculates everything you need by the way if your building your first wheel i'd get it checked out bby someone who knows what they are doing before you ride it - theres sooo many things you can do wrong
  5. hi just getting into trials after having a few goes on my mates Base TA26 and now ive caught the trials fever. i usually ride DH/street/dirtjump and already have a revell 450r and an orange partiot. as i spend all my money on my other bikes i want to pick up a cheap but decent full stock bike - i will consider anything you have. cheers guys Tom
