  6. New Help With New Frame.

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Hello mate.

    Yes good idea, with Christmas coming shops and online shops are going to slashing the price of alot of frames so you should have a look around?

    Do you have anything in mind? if you haven't been riding that long then i'd recommend something "cheap" as with trials it'll get destroyed (raped, scratched, dented, burned, dropped, pi55ed on?) yes you name it, trials bikes have been at the forfront!!

    I'd recommend: echo pure

    Ashton Justice or maybe an

    Echo Control?

    all depends what your looking for really? If your still not sure look around this forum should tell you all you need to know dude...

  12. Best Bike For Under £300?

    Posted · Edited by Ghetto Rider

    Hey,

    I've never ridden mod only know stock so it depends what your looking for? I'd recommend the Saracen 2.six (26" hence the name as they make mod too.) its roughly £250 depending where you get it from.

    Very nice to learn on, nice to be on the back wheel, comes with a nice setup but would say it needs a magura for the rear and chain shorter. Apart from that awesome. Good value for money, light and strong what else can you ask for!! (Y)(Y):D

  15. Saracen 2.six

    The 26" version is awesome for starting trials on!

    I bought that bike in full from my local bike shop as i wasn't sure whether i could get into trials riding. Its so nice to learn on. It loves being on the back wheel and easy enough to change over bits and bobs as you progress into trials riding. I sprayed the frame and forks white and it looked sick!

    i'm now riding an Echo Pure and it was a nice move from the 2.six to the echo.

    Overall to start trials or learning that bike is really what you want! cheap, reliable, strong and light! what more can you ask for!? 8/10 :-(Y)B)

  17. Ever Get Fed-up Of Your Local Area?!

    There's always a line you haven't tried, or technique you haven't used.

    By building youself up and working on these sorts of things not only will you become a better rider (in the sense of being able to ride bigger stuff, more refined technique et al) but you will undoubtedly find new ways of looking at a situation, and ultimately have more fun.

    I see where you are coming from though, don't get me wrong, you just have to take a different view of things from time to time, mix it up a little! :P

    Yah ok i'll try this, i'm just on my out now in the freezing cold so will bear that in mind.

    thanks!! and thanks to the others that posted... (Y)

  19. Ever Get Fed-up Of Your Local Area?!

    Hey Guys,

    Lately i've been getting fed-up with my local trials area as there is a lack of stuff to ride. We do have some cool stuff but it's just been milked so badly i loose heart when it comes to riding these places... Which is why we normally try and get out of our town and ride other cities / towns...

    I do like riding palets now and then but it's too much effort to ride to where they are, set them up, make a little course then start riding... Also at the end if you don't put the crates back they're not there when you next come back so this adds effort.

    Anyone got any valuble ideas for me to boost my spirit of riding my local area????

    Lets hear some ideas then fellow forum-ers!! (Y)B)
