Hi all, Me and a few mates are interested in starting to get into comps but have no idea where to start. Ive searched the net but found no real useful info. Did read you need some kind of lisence to start with? Im from the Midlands so if anybody knows of any clubs or anywhere that run comps in the area let me know. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Jonny

What are the advantages, if any, of front freewheels on a 26"? Im guessing you need special cranks etc? Also what gives you the front freewheel? Is it the BB? Sorry if these sound like daft questions, just need to know. Thanks!

You soldier! See you there. Gimme a buzz if you like when your close. Ill PM you my number.

WHOOP WHOOP!

Is that you Jono? Good plan btw

Sorry it took so long, and also sorry for the very dodgy pic! Re: parking. These are the most obvious places I could think of but obviously if you find anywhere id just nab it up. Hope to see you all tomorrow!

I bought my bike off eBay second hand and it had ground rims but I think they need re-doing. What is the best way to do it? Cheers

Damn. Whats the problem? Would be nice if you could make it. Show (or teach) us some moves!

Its looking good now! As far as parking goes, if you head away from the town centre from the station you come to "Victoria Park". Not sure if theres any free spaces but I will check in the week and try to find the best place to park and post it. Looking forward to seeing you all.

This will be the first ride I have "organised" so anyone who can make it please do! The more the merrier. Me and a few mates fancy a ride (were from Leicester) but are not great riders. We usually ride Leics Uni / city centre area but would like to discover new places so if you know somewhere good, come down and show us around. Meet at Leics Station about 10.30. See you there! Cheers

Wow glad to see so many people up for it. Ill post a topic in the rides section now!

Sweet thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately im away this weekend but was talking to a few mates and tryin to get a ride going next weekend (I belive its a bank holiday weekend?). Were all a fairly low standard, used to all ride as a group when we were younger (looking about 7 years ago now) but are all getting back into it and loving it! We just need a few more people down for a ride really. Any ability. Ill post again in the week next week to try and sort something next weekend.

Peterborough is not too far. I have a car and a bike rack Tell me more about yourself ...

Looking for riders in or around Leicester to recommend good spots etc and maybe meet for a ride sometime? Cheers

My name is Jonny and im a trials-aholic from Leicester. Im now 23 and just getting back into trials. Used to be a hardcore rider but stopped about 6 years ago due to work, getting a car etc. Me and a mate are juts getting back into it and I have recently bought a Zoo Boa off eBay. I used to ride a custom built thing I put together long ago but it weighs a ton by todays standards so needed something more trials specific. Im gonna try and get a vid of me and my mate getting back into the swing of things on youtube so will post a link when ive got it sorted. Nice to meet you all and thanks for listening. PS anyone from Leicester who fancies helping a few newbies re-learn the ropes get in contact!
