  5. It looks very 05-06 pitbull-esque Really nice looking though...any word on geo? It really looks like a great deal...i would have bought one if id known what the geo was like....
  6. http://www.biketrialuk.co.uk/ Depends how good you are regarding what class you eneter...it's best to start off low i guess you'd probably be better off going to one to watch first, checking out how hard the routes are, then trying it yourself so you can get a rough idea of what level you're riding at relative to the other people at the events...... For a lot of them you need a membership ( annual membership @ £10 a year ) and i think it's an acu card...dont hold me on that though as im not entirely sure ...... Hope ive been of some help!
  7. Ah right....just wondering because id never heard of them ...... im suprised no-one posted anything about these...
  8. I need to revise for a "forces" test tomorrow...and i cant find any revision sites Im studying AS level physics Help please!
  9. Id go for the first...the only real bad thing is the ACS claw..against the tensile freewheel...
  10. http://tinyurl.com/38aa42 http://tinyurl.com/2759th http://tinyurl.com/2w4j84 Has anybody heard of or seen one before? They look basically like t-rexs and the last one looks like a raptor...... Is this the onza '08 line-up?
  11. That Camo pitbull is a work of art! Sorely tempted..how did you actually paint it camo?..... but i'll see what the general concensus on colour is......
  12. Erm...well heres the only shop that i could find that sells 24" rims........ http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/category.php?id=43 Hope im of help!
  13. The bb ones go behind the bb shell look like this : They stop the chain going to the side and falling off by using a roller, jockey wheel or nylon runner ..... http://chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=10800
  14. I want to respray my 04 pitbull....but what colour? Suggestions please..... ive got red wheelset and bars...the rest is either silver or black components
  15. Trying a different type of riding is definitely a good idea.....maybe Street, Downhill etc
  16. It's just done to practice welding on......and to stick on my garage wall And why not? Ive got a real trials bike,but i cant see why i shouldnt make one to prat around on, i'm not going to do anything stupid on it as i know it'll break in half!
  17. I'm thinking around 18:16 then.....stem length and rise anybody? Im running some try-all replica bars at the moment and have just got them so aren't going to change them.....
  18. i used to ride a lot of street trials ( with more street than trials ) but now im starting to shy away from the bunny hop, stair gap style riding and go towards the real trialsy moves.....i never ride natural trials, and can't yet sidehop ( but wouldnt mind learning! ) I want to make the bike stable on the back wheel, manual-able(preferably) and good to gap, sidehop etc..... So....what would be the best set-up for me, considering the above? Oh, and i used to ride a woodstock ( 1065 ) with 26:25 gearing, 170mm cranks , try-all bars and 120mm x 10* stem Thanks!
  19. Mr sheen manages to dissolve tar ( god knows what kind of evil chemicals are in it ! ) Thats the best for the job IMO
  20. Un52 are the besdt IMO....ive used one for going on 3 years now and its still smooth
  21. Freewheel: ratchet based system ( usually ) on a bike that lets the bike freewheel ( hence the name ) tensionre: Tensions the chain when running Single speed, or can provide additional tension in a geared system to stop drivetrain from skipping
  22. Welcome back!...anyway...on the topic of chain tensioners >> take a look at this link: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....=95273&st=0
  23. There seems to be more on each biggish group ride i go on....so i guess its increasing round my area...
  24. Ive just gone singlespeed last night...now im on the lookout for light cheap front + rear tyres...any suggestions?
