Captain Scarlet

I haven't seen many trials videos on the net, but Craig Lee Scott is amazing to me. I thought that me getting a Mod trials was a bit of a mistake, as it kinda limits how high you could get up obstacles and such, but Craig proved that my thoughts were totally wrong. I think he is a brilliant rider.

I'm talking of the 2007 models of T-Birds and T-Vees. ruckus_street, the 07 T-Birds only have 2 bolt mounts, not 4 like some of the previous T-Birds.

I would get the T-bird, but the 07 model doesn't come with Magura's as standard so I might as well go for the Vee.

Well the T-Bird and T-Vee are basically the same frame, just different paintjob. If a 19" can fit on a T-bird then I'd imagine you could for a T-vee?

Hehe thanks for the help guys. I should buy myself a new wheel hopefully in the new year, thinking about an Onza Hog rim.

I try to ride as much as possible, even if it is just in a 15 minute space of time. I get home from school and I am out riding by 4pm, and come in for my dinner at around 6pm, I then go back out for another hours riding or so. That is so for winter weather, when the summer kicks in It will probably be much longer. As for weekends, I'm out by about 10am and in at around 6pm for dinner, and maybe I come out fora bit after that, but thats usually it. Again in the summer I stay out for much longer.

Hey Guys, I was thinking about getting a new rim for when I get my Onza T-vee (07). I want a 19" so its nice and thick, but I got a few questions to ask. 1) Will a 19" rim fit an Onza T-vee 2) Will a need a new innertube 3) Will Magura's still work/be adjusted to fit the wheel 4) What size tyre will I need for it, and what do you reccomend I should get as an affordable one. Thanks in advance. -Tom

I learnt backhops and things on my 06 Saracen X-ray1, and around end of summertime I rode my mates bikes every now and again and learnt to Pedal hop. Their bikes are: Saracen 2.six Saracen Team Urban and an old Onza T-bird.

Hehe, I woulda come if you told me a bit in advance, I didn't have any money when you asked me on Saturday. Oh and because Chris couldn't be arsed either. (This is Tom btw)

I would have said that a 06 T-pro or T-bird are best for a rider who knows the trials basics and wants to pursue it further, and good value. But the 07 models are in, and the 06's are out, almost all of the new 20" model's are Magura-less so to get an 07 model, either get one with Magura's or the T-pro. I'm getting an 07 T-vee as my first trials, and then probably adding some white Magura's to it. I mean the 07 T-vee is almost the same as the 07 T-bird, just minus the 19" drilled rim, and mechanical disc on the front, but thats not much of a bonus for £80 extra. Thats why I'm getting the "Vee" and using the leftover money to buy myself some parts. Thats my opinion on it.

When I used to be into BMX's and Jump bikes, or just general skatepark riding I had myself a bad injury. 2004, at my local park, I was riding without a helmet and went up a small quarterpipe, didn't quite make it to the top and fell back down, hitting my head hard on the concrete floor. There wasn't a mark on my head. I went home and towards the evening my head began to ache (I can't remember any of this from this point on, just what my parents told me) so I went to sleep. Couple of hours later I couldn't sleep, the pain was just too much (apparently), and my parents came and checked on me, notcing that one of my eyes was looking in the other direction. They took me to a local hospital who thought it was just a virus that had nothing to do with my accident, they gave me a CAT scan and found I had a fractured skull and a blood clot had built up inside my head. Into the ambulance and speeding off to Great Ormond street hospital in London, where the clot was removed. Another hour and I would have been a goner, if I would have gone to hospital too early they would have found no symptoms and sent me home, off to bed never to awake. Lengthy story, but I'm very lucky and glad to be alive. It shows what can happen if helmet's aren't worn.

The new M.A.D bike range called Phase, is made by Land Rover so I heard. ^^

My mate has got a lumious green T-mag that has the flatspot in the frame like that. Looks awfully similar.

Meh, I haven't been to many spots in Essex, but I easily know that Braintree isn't the greatest in the world. Lots of riders from Braintree seem to flee to Colchester or Chelmsford at the weekends.

Nice simple little discussion I thought I'd start. What is your own trials achievement that you are most proud of? For me, I'm new to Trials so i'm proud of hopping up a set of steep stairs outside my local tesco's, lol Would be interesting to hear what everyone elses is.

Hey Guys, My name is Tom, I'm 15 and I've been interested in bikes for years. I started out on Jump Bikes and Dirt and stuff, but more recently there is a craze for trials in my area. I want to get an Onza Mod as a starter bike to trials, most probably a T-Vee. It comes with V-brakes, which is good for beginning I guess, but if I wanted to upgrade to some kind of Hydraulic Rim brake (Mag HS33's preferably) on the rear, would it be possible to do so? I was told that I could do so. But upon further examination, I noticed that HS33's have a 4 bolt mounting, and if I was to replace the V brakes there would only be a 2 bolt mounting. Can the V brakes on the rear be replaced by HS33's? or is it not possible because of the frame design. On the 06 model of the T-Bird it had HS33's on front and rear, but the 07 model has disc brake on the front, v brakes on the rear. So I guess the T-bird is not an option for Hydraulic brakes either. Can anyone help me out. Thanks in advance, -Tom
