I love natural stuff... proper trials
... and this video is so well put together as well, brilliant.

I loves my triton, so do most people that ride it
Good to see that theyre still alive
edit: is gaz still a member on here? Would like to ask him some questions about the frames
Yes he is... had a quick email from him.
If anyone wants to contact him about the frames try Nechaev.Dmitry@gmail.com.
.. if i had the cash it would be one of these over any of the alloy wannbe's anyday... but just found out today that my 2010 Beta evo is due in a week.. and i have changed my order to the 290

.. if nothing shows the cross over between cycle and moto trials techniques i don't know what does.
..for a while i have been thinking that the ACU has been missing out on a trick here, they should have, if not a demo area, a full bike trial on at every british championship moto round... may even get a few people watching other than the parents and minders of the moto riders!! The motorcycle championship has been very badly promoted for the last few years, you wouldn't know an event was on unless you were part of the trials world that reads the T&mx or goes on certain web sites. With a bit of local promotion and perhaps the cycles at the events it may bring in some of the general public.

where can i buy that black frame at the top.
.. try sending the man an email via otn, if you are a member. I will try sending one to him and see if he has other contact details.
his email addy is gazza@gazza.ru... i have sent one to him anyway, see if he replies.

If you look at the images on the link you will see that the welds are beautiful and a well thought out design... and it will outlast any mass produced frame by years i bet. You can order almost any geo and brake mount combination you want also. Now I reckon that is far more 600 quids worth than any made in asia factory effort!

Triton are back in production... and what a lovely looking bike it is too...
more details on OTN... HERE
-
good man Adam... will email you. I believe he is after an Evo3 frame and perhaps a full top line Tryall build kit.
-
Tried to get a message to TMS and find out where one of our r2w riders can buy one from... or at least look at one. Anyone in the UK selling them?

Whilst looking around the web for videos etc of my all time top rider Thibaut Marriaux i came across this Vario frame details from an old post here... did it ever make it into the UK and was it any good?.. and anyone still got one...

... put an Ohlins on it would be better
Also some demo pictures from the biketrial side .. Here
-
i think it looks a bit rear heavy myself... and yes i definitely mean the bike!!!
Wonder how long the silencer and tank at the rear will stay looking good once dumped on a few rocks or slid down a tree or two?
... doesn't she look like Britney Spears in that shot?
-
mate of mine has just returned from the dirt bike show and posted images of the new sherco if anyone is interested
.. in case you were wondering, Katy Bullock pictured above is a top trials rider and also was on TV in this series of the x-factor. And models the sherco one piece suit very well don't you think!!
-
... you see that biketrial style hop up at 2.30 'ish !!!

Nice vid... got a calmness about it but some nice riding.
-
not usually one for mod stuff... but shit me!!
... is he using clip on pedals or something? Some bloody height he gets!
-

One of our riding mates, Ben, was using them for ages... and they were brilliant. Make sure you use good cable inner and outer seems to be the main thing.
... and i believe he may still have them for sale!!
-
was about time i stared to make my site look a bit more modern... so i have started with the homepage and am gradually changing the others over when i have time and the enthusiasm!!
just in time ready for my new Beta Evo to arrive... nice new start
.. i think it is a bit kinder on the eyes and easier to get around... correct me if i am wrong!

4.34 ... wonder if the frame survived!!
New Front Break
in Trials Chat
Posted
I have the disadvantage of having to compare cycle brakes against motorcycle brakes... touch the lever on my Beta and you would be over the bars and that had 74 kilos of bike and 80 kilos plus of my weight behind it!!
Last year when i had an Adamant A2 i had a set of cheap shimano v's on the rear with a basic avid lever... was so much less hassle than a magura and it stopped as good or better. If i slide it down a rock, common problem for me, and ripped anything it was a simple cable and outer problem... didn't have to sort out a new hose, connections, oil and then bleed it. The down side if you are a rider as shite as me is that as soon as you put a buckle on the rim, or knock it out of true, it does start to feel a bit weird on the lever. But that is an issue with maggies as well. Only reason i have a maggie now is that i can't be arsed with the bolt-on v adaptors.
On the front i always go for a disc as i would be more likely to smack into something hard with the front and bend the rim a bit... at least the disc is out of the way more!! Interestingly i have recently changed from a Hope to a cheap basic Magura louise and it is so much better. I have had 3 Hopes and just never been totally happy with them but the Louise went on and worked straight away.
