NEW TYRES!!! cheers

not all disk brakes self center but an idea of what disk your running might help mate

my first "real" trials bike was a saracen mad lol

edit meeting place and made it a sunday ride

looks a bit like a brisa but didnt they have a curved seat tube? anyway nice video

i tried it and just couldnt get it to work out best advice is to sell the rim or return it and just buy a 36 hole rim

im coming from holsworthy so if you need a lift i could pick you up...

thought this would be most suited to chit chat just wanted to say thaks on the amazingly quick postage i ordered a echo rim and spokes yesterday at around 2pm and they came today at 1.30 thanks tarty bikes!!!!!

http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=136428 just posted it up - i will be there on a gu st 06 in silver and red

due to this topic - http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=136411 im trying to sort out a ride for the 31st which ever is the better day (i.e. weather) anyone wanting to ride leave a name p.s. looking for a local ride as i dont know where any spots are meet at the bus station or st davids train station which ever is easiest for people to find! meet at the skatepark! meet around 11am if you want to get hold of me my number is - 07810812582 i will be a the skatepark as from 10.45 you should be looking for a blue ford escort with a big exhaust and a silver gu with black rims - mates bike is a adamant a1 with gold rims hope to see you all there

dam right just ordered echo rim and spokes

im in holsworthy bout an hour away i thought there were quite a few riders in exeter... im itching to get out on my new steed but awaiting front brake and rear rim and spokes - as soon as its built i was going to try and arange a ride there...

can someone put it up for download?

see loads of people useing quotes in there signatures how do you add them?

about 25min at 180 degrees then let it rest for 5 mins

most will say there shite but i like them - yes there cheap but the money is spent in the right places i would like to give one word of advice though change the rear hub asap as thats one real weak point of the whole build other bits to consider would be a rear brake booster as the frames flex a little and maybe a shorter stem for a more street feel

ive always been a maxxis fan and thr high roller is my choice tyre im going to try a rubber queen soon but i spotted a specialized chunder 2.3 in my local bike shop and compared it to the high roller on the shelf and the tread it almost the same but the specialized is like half the price and its a fair bit lighter has anyone used a specialized chunder cause im really tempted to try one

yeh cheers for that - was going to use maxxis tyres (hence the username) but think im gona try conti's

im building a new bike the frame is a gu st 06 im looking to make it as light as possable but trying to keep it cheap i know that you can just hack holes out of the frame and other components but at a cost of strength im not wanting to hack it to death so with specific components in mind what and where do i make holes? im going for lightweight parts like tires and tubes with drilled rims but any advice on specific parts appreciated cheers maxxis26

looks really nice sleek and simple im going for the same sort of idea on my gu

i could work with enough input i just went looking at the spot in exeter in satalite view and those spots look really good im gona get some from around devon and cornwall cause theres loads to ride here

i brought a similar thing from halfords years ago called a jig its designed to stop the chain from coming off the front chainring but you dont have to shorten your chain its more for downhill bikes as they need the chain lenth for the gears to work properly

ive got a frame but it has some deep scraches in the downtube it there a way to remove them before spraying it i was thinking a grinder with a light pad on it just to "buff" them out any better ideas
