I'm 28 and have just returned after a 7 year absence, picked up a cheap bike and started riding again
I seem to remember a time when it was called "jibbing"

Try some copper grease on the back of the pads, it will take a lot of the noise away

This was the film that started it all off for me all those years ago I remember first being lent it by a friend (who never got it back) and then watching it on extreme tv on sky
Epic video

Simple fact is carbon is flexy it's just the way it is trials bikes are built to be rock solid so any flex or movement is bound to worry anyone but until development moves on the simple fact is carbon will flex
-
If your really that worried about it swap them for alloy bars
-
Think it may just be the nature of the material being a weved material it will have a bit of flex it's just the way it's made I guess

ive concidered squaring the holes in the rims and single walling the rear... good/bad?
any help appreciated

lol im in one of them pics
just need to wait for alex to edit the video up

I wouldn't go as far as to say use Fox forks, but suntour forks are a bit pants, usually.
You might get away with some lowered Marzocchi MX pro or comp forks, or the nearest new pair.
dirt jam pros by marzocchi forks arnt all that bad either and last time i looked you could get a set for under £100
but if you r budget is 180 have a jook at the "dirt jumper series" as they have a little more adjustment

im up aswell and it looks nice over here but it is an hours drive away
met office weather
Today:
Scattered showers continuing along southern coasts, but a few brighter spells are possible across parts of Gloucestershire and northeast Somerset. Feeling chilly inland, with mostly light winds becoming southeasterly. Maximum temperature 8 °C
-
WEATHER UPDATE
looks fine but could be cloudy, slim possibility of rain
cold morning with possible ice on the roads so anyone who is driving take it easy
will hopefully meet you all there
-
you could always use the wiki "coke can bogde" to get you through till you get a new crank arm

worked for me for 6 months on my middleburns, then i got smart and went isis

looks like a factory paint job
nice work
-
put adamant on there and i would buy one
me and a mate were planning to have a few shirts printed up using the parts we had on our bikes.. e.g hope, magura, but think you may run into a few copyright and trademark problems
everyone just weres try all or tarty shirts anyway unless your sponsered
-
dont like the bash idea
can imagine it would hold up on a few good smacks on a wall, think the tabs on the frame would snap...
-
Lets be honest Charlie, we're going to get hammered and then try and ride with a stonking hang over
it'll be amazing as normal.
sometimes it the best way to ride
you feel lighter and it doesnt hurt when you fail.... well not straight away...
-

-

Yo, parking on a Sunday is FREE on the streets behind the train station (if you find the right ones) which are just as close if not closer than the multi-storey. I could very well be up for this

After talking to my girlfriend for a while about getting back into trials she went out and found me a saracen trials bike, I know it's not much but at least it gets me back out.
I started on a saracen mad when I first got into trials so I'm unbelievably happy
