  1. I started trial's on a mod and love it.I think it suit's me very well.But however,I had a go on a freind's stock (nickyw) and seriously want a stock.But I would recommend having a mod to start on.Most people were I live ride mod and started out on mod's. Best thing to do though,Is go on a ride and ask for a go on various bike's and see which one suit's you best.
  2. Should suit your new frame very well,I hope you like it.
  3. If you want them to be sharper on the front,Then just put a smudge of tar on the rim.Best thing to do though is Clean your rim and then put the tar on.Dont grind your rim if your using koolstop's,Otherwise it'll be the worst brake you have ever used.Maybe put the brake closer to the rim,Or adjust the Tpa abit more?
  4. Hello there.For a grind,You can use an angle grinder or a pen-knife if you dont trust the angle grinder.But it all depends on rim's and pad's your using.For example,If your using zoo! pad's,DO NOT give your rim a harsh grind,Because the pads will last around at least a day.If that doesn't make sense to you at all....Here's what I mean. Soft compound pad's=Smooth rim with/Without tar or a very light grind. Hard compound pad's=Harsh grind with some pad's,But some hard material work well on smooth rim's.E.g koolstop's work better on a smooth rim. Medium compound pad's=Light grind with tar? Or could be decent with just a light grind. Some rim's go very weak when grinded,Like some of the old monty rim's. I could be wrong.If I am....Someone please correct me.
  5. That gu typhoon is sweet.But personally I would take the raceline off or nitromorse the paint off it.
  6. Enjoyed that vid,What's the song called?
  7. I belive i saw some amourdillos on ebay a few days back.However,This could be ben selling them through his trialsman account on ebay.
  8. Welcome to the forum mate,Ive just signed up.
  9. Some of my friends around were I live started riding,I then decided to have a go at the sport and have never looked back since.
  10. If i was you,Ill get some Hs33's and some new pads to make the brakes ALOT more better.Then get some new crank's,By the look's of it,Square taper crank's is what you need unless your thinking of moving onto isis.Maybe run a front freewheel too.Bar's and stem will be a good move to make too. Also if your not on budget i would also recommend some new tyres and forks.But lets consontraite on the most important stuff first.P.s If your stuck on what pad's to get,There's loads and loads to choose from really.Maybe have a look at the pads review section elsewere on the forum.
