  1. White spirit works but if you need to remove stickers again; use a hairdryer to heat them up and then they peel off really easily.
  2. The same as you bleed a brake with Magura oil just use water instead. And put anit-freeze in it aswell other wise the water will freeze in the winter and you won't really have a brake!
  3. Not foam! i know some people like them but they don't seem to be grippy which grips are supposed to be. Get the Try All rubber.
  4. I have one (short) and they're good; light, quite strong and a decent bike. I recommend one. (but a little over priced)
  5. Get the creepy crawlers if your looking from wear life definitely. The try alls are really grippy but wear out very quickly when only riding street.
  6. I know that the try all rims are one of the lightest.
  7. Cheers, you could be right because most of the Koxx bikes have aren't really too long.
  8. I know someone with the hifi stem and adamant bars which have a little rise and it is still really low and wierd to ride with. If I was you i would just get a new stem (and new bars if you want) such as the echo team, that make more of a difference.
  9. Yer it has it on tarty but it doesn'r say the wheelbase, just 'full spec coming soon'.
  10. Does anyone know what the wheelbase is on a mod Koxx Monsterboy? The koxx website only has the Excessboy and the Derangboy and I can't seem to find the Monsterboy. Cheers Richard EDIT: Any reviews on the bike aswell?
  11. Good video and some nice riding. Is that the T-Pro Ultimate or just T-Pro frame with other parts?
  12. Trials is becoming more and more popular and there are more riders now than before!
  13. How often does this topic come up?! Search!
  14. I've got a Koxx Levelboss Short and they're really nice to ride and very light but aren't as strong as some other bikes. They still will take a lot to snap and overall I think they are really good bikes. Richard
  15. I'm sure you can gap a bit further on a longer bike, but it can't be that much further. And still, people riding short bikes bikes can gap very big. But short and long bikes have their own advantages and their problems. Richard
  16. The Ribos, Try-Alls and the Montys seem to be the way to go. I know that they're all rather expensive but I know that the Try-Alls are really nice to ride in as I have some myself. The Ribos seem not to last to long and fall apart quickly but are also nice to ride in. I would definitely recommend spending the money and getting some specific trial shoes. After you ride in some, you won't want to go back to normal shoes! Richard
  17. I learnt that wearing a helmet is a good idea as I tried to go up this rock today and fell backwards, hit my head on another rock, smashed my helmet up and my tooth went straight through my lip and out the other side. Painful! Richard
  18. Awesome video. Doing much better and bigger stuff than in your other videos. Bigger gaps, bigger sidehops and I think the first hook?! Great riding and great editing. Richard
  19. Thanks for all the comments. Hopefully, there should be another street video of his in the summer! Much better than his first as he has improved alot since then. Cheers, Richard
  20. Thanks for all the help. I'm quite sure now that I will grind my rim from the advice everyone has given me. But most people have said that a grinded rim only really works with the right pads and some will wear down too quickly. What sort of pads are best from a grinded rim?? Cheers, Richard
  21. Stocks can be quite hard to ride especially when you're only 14. But once you've gone to stock you do get used to it. Also you might find that after having a stock for a quite a long time then you want to go back to mod (or you might not), but when you go from stock to mod everything seems so easy because you've been riding a big bike for a long time and suddenly you get on a small, light bike. It depends though, people have their oppinions on what's nice to ride but I also wouldn't own a stock and a mod because you'll find one nicer than the other. Richard
  22. I want to know whether or not to grind my back rim. At the moment I have a smooth rim with Onza Citrus pads and I just use tar to improve the brake. But some people say that grinding the rim is better and works better in the wet. I'm not sure what to do? Is it worth grinding it? Any help???? Richard
  23. Keita - His style of riding is class and he flicks the bike around so easily. Great steet and natural rider also and nails some brilliant and wierd stuff. Watch his video!
