That ^ makes no sense at all. I presume you are trying to ask what you need to fit your freewheel to your hub in which case you can just screw the freewheel straight onto the hub without any spacers or anything

Any pedal with pins is going to get raped in trials, i recomend basic vp caged pedals, they last for ever and even when they do break theyre about £12 to replace. They do destroy shins when new though

try all rubber grips- really thin for losads of control, they have a pretty average wear rate but are super comfy with or without gloves, i recomend them.

1. Check the frame very carefully for cracks 2. Check spokes are corretly tensioned (should be able to move them about 1cm when squeezed on a 26) 3. Pick you backwheel up and wobble it from side to side to see if youve got any bearing wear. 4. Check hub and rim for cracks 5.Check your qr is tight, may sound silly but could help alot 6. Might just be general wheel flex

youll learn a whole lot quicker if you use a rigid it'll teach you not to land on your front wheel and also the geometry will work better without the suspension and you'll get a better quality of ride with the suspension fork as the rigind witt tell you what is happening a lot more respnsively if you use a rigid and a rigid is one less thing to have to service as well

stick with 26" there harder to learn on but in the long run everything will work out better they are a whole lot easier in my opinion to hop higher but you carn't tuck them as much but they are nicer on drops an they all have got shorter stems so will probably be harder to bend them the stem is the bar which connects to the bars so i'd definetly stick witht the 26" plus you also have more choice for tyres as well and i found there more natural to ride if your tall

I prefer front as it keeps the freewheel better protected, the weight is more central in the bike and if you run gears it means you can change gear when freewheeling which can be usefull

nike sb's, the best skateshoes ive ever had, they are super comfy and suportive, they aslo have good grippy soles with a nice amount of flex

are there any trials riders in stratford or iun surrounding areas i so send me your details and maybe we can arrange to go for a ride

Depends on the style of your bike, as for practicality you cant go wrong with a mavic, theyre super strong and pretty light, however if you have loads of fluro drilled bits it wont fit in very well, so somethin like a try all would be good

try all grip are real nice, thin and gripy with or without grips they also smeel pretty good to if thats your thing

Id go for something slightly harder than you would for natural stuff as you'll tend to be hitting stuff faster, it also helps for front touches etc, I run 22:17 but all depends on you really, best thing to do is experiment

justice frame kot forks viz single speed rear hub + rim ceramic mavic front on hope superlight tensile cranks + eno

the way i learned to pedal hop was to try hopping forward whilst in a track stand then to do a wheelie brake wheelie brake whilst on the rear wheel then to do a wheelie hop then to just do it all together on the rear wheel

This is what happened to my 7month old kot i dont recommend one of these, and adam and dave will be seeing this soon

A hs33 is a good brake and is fine with normal pads if you have a grinded rim as the small grinds bity creates more friction

go to www.tartybikes.com and ahave a look at their cranks that they have got for sale i found that middle burns were slightly over priced and did not look as nice as some of the others i have got a set of tensiles they look a whole lot nicer the bashing isn't as wide but is just as hard wearing as the middle burns and not only can you also turn the bashring around on the tensiles but you also get a choice of 18t 20t and22t chain ring which gives you that bit more selection to choose from at £109 compared to the £160 on the middle burns and the tensiles come with an isis which is stiffr then a squared taperd bottom bracket but dont be decieved though price isn't everything some of the cheaper cranks on there are amaziung for the price if you phone them up which is usualy what i do ask them over the phone or email them they have got some wicked knowlege sorry for the long reply but i hope this helps you

are there any trials riders in stratford? if so wanna meet up i have a kot ms2 and am out most nights but only seem to come across riders from evesham and shirley and occasionly coventry

i've worn gloves i used to like them till they started to wear out but now i ride without you should try it for about one month i found that in winter gloves were great to keep your hands warm but if you go to halfords there cheap £10 gloves are the best out there beecause i found that they are impossible to destroy or rip

i crurently have been having a debate with my friend and was wondering if any one could help me out we both like maguras as they work well but was wondering if you got a really mint v brake like an avid single digit ti if the v brake was set up properly would it be able to out perform the magura? looking forward to your replies

i currently ride with an eno which engages really quickly just wondering if a hub on a wheel engages any quicker then my eno
