    GET BLUE ROCK PADS!!!

    Definatly get blue rock pads, they are also excellent in the wet and still make a beautiful sound when the rain is pouring :P. Perfect pads for this time of the year, especially with all the wet weather! They will work fine on your rim and should last you ages. :D

  2. Who Is Your Favourite Pro?

    20"= I dont really know of any proffesional 20" riders but i think Joe Baxter is great, I have downloaded all of his videos and found them through TartyBikes. I really like the way he rides and its inspiring for me because hes about my age. Keep it up Joe!

    26"= Martyn Ashton - because he's English :turned: , Ryan Leech - because he is just amazing and stuns me all the time doing things that I think are impossible, and then i like Chris Akrigg and Danny Holroyd! :D

  3. Why Is My Brake So Crap?

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Hi, I put my new Rock Pad Blues in yesterday and went down to ride about in a car park near mine.

    About 5 minutes after i got there, it started pissing it down and my brakes were absolutely awesome! I only had a light grind on my rim but the brakes were working excellently and completely locking aswell as sounding great!

    So basically i didnt have to wait at all for my brakes to bed in, although my rim had just been ground and so was quite clean. Maybe your rim has a bit of oil or dirt on?

    The way i like to Manual is by doing this:

    1) I roll across the ground at about jogging pace or sometimes slightly faster.

    2) I put my bad foot forward.

    3) I push hard on my pedal about 1800 so that my best foot is forward whilst throwing my top half of my body over the back wheel.

    4) I keep my front wheel in the air by bending my legs as the front wheel drops down.

    5) If however i start to go too far back, i straighten my knees and also very gently dap on my back brake if i need to.

    This is the way I like to manual, but remember that the way you find easiest to manual might be different so experiment a bit by altering these steps. When you finally get to grips with manualling, you should find it quite easy to do without taking up much energy. B)

    Seeing as it has just been christmas and a lot of us are fairly loaded with cash, what parts are we all looking to spend our cash on for our bikes?

    I have just ordered some Rock Pad blues from TartyBikes and im waiting to buy myself a new ZOO! bar and Echo stem for my Onza. :turned:

    So what has everyone else just bought or are saving up for? Post here!!!

  7. Hopping Forwards

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    The pedal hop involves three main elements:

    1.) Leaning your weight back over the rear wheel,

    2.) Letting off the rear brake, and

    3.) Giving a short 1/8 to 1/4 turn of the pedals, then bringing your pedals back to level.

    All three of these movements are basically done at the same time.

    When practicing this move, focus on remaining in control at all times; don't exaggerate any of the moves.

    After doing the move you should be in the same balancing position you were in at the beginning.

  12. Sandpaper Or Tar

    Everone that i've heard talking about grinding say that they use an angle grinder, but would i be able to grind both my rims on my mates bench grinder? :S

    It has on it a normal grinding/cutting disc aswell as a wire disc. Would i just grind it with the grinding/cutting disc?

    The only worry i have about using it, is how acurately i would be able to grind the rim and hold it to grind etc.

  13. Tyers And Brakes

    I have Maxxis Creepy Crawlers on my front and back wheel and they are great! They still have a suitable amount of grip in the wet - and great grip in the dry, aswell as being a good hard compound that doesnt wear down too quickly.

    Overall=Great tyres for the money!

    And as for the Maguras, Go for it. They are great brakes and ive never had problems with them as they require very low maintenance.

  19. Coloured Upgrades For My Onza

    I'd Say take the God Dam awfull tyre off your downtube :P ... I don't think you need new rims at all, I would upgrade the bar, stem and forks in that order. Possibly get monty riser bars on a monty stem and then maybe some Echo lite forks! :shifty:

    Ok thanks for the advice.

    I will probably need to save up a bit and buy the bar and stem first and then i think i will wait a few months for the forks.

    Im taking the tyre off my lower tube aswell tomorow you'll be pleased to know.

    Yeah your probably right about the tyre, if i keep it ill only scratch my bike somewhere else..................

    The freewheel is already a tensile one at the front so that will stay but i will get some better pads for it, ones that will run on a smooth rim without grind and probably without tar aswell as i dont know if i should bother with tar.
