  1. I started riding trials quite recently, like a few months ago and am finding 20 inch great for learning on although im not 6 ft, so dont know how it would be on a 20 incher for someone as big as that. i have seen a pretty big guy ridin 20 inch though around where i live and it didnt look to bad... Try looking on ebay and places like that for second hand bikes, i built up a t pro with maguras on it for around 250 by buying most of it from friends second hand. good luck!
  2. My friends find it in an industrial estate in my hometown. comes in big lumps which you can break up im told. I guess im just lucky though! seems like you gotta look around!
  3. what are you on about? more effort, he has a good point the wheel doesnt move if u use chain tugs so whats the problem, some chain tugs are not very good such as my random ones on my mod bike which bent just doein a shift, i think the wheel wasnt very tight but if you get good tugs or snail cams there shouldnt be a problem with horizontal dropouts!
  4. i wouldnt use a juicy for trials as they dont have much on/off power on my ones which are on my jump bike, if you used a huge rotor i guess it would be ok! my friend has a BB7 and its amazing really good power and cheaper than a juicy!
  5. hmm would have to be something like a zoo python frame or GU typhoon. then echo lite or GU forks...i would have frame and forks custom painted white with red decals...echo rim brakes... echo stem bar combo with red bars. chris king red headset. GU hubs in red with try all white rims with red rim tape. GU or Echo cranks in red... basically lots of red and white..if only money were no object!
  6. yer ive got a friend who has a crack in his monty...his one is fairly old though.. looks pretty retro compared to new ones....
  7. they are two completely different bikes! one is a mod frame the others a stock! If you have a 26 or 20 inch bike you wont want to go getting a frame which is a different size because you will have to buy new wheels forks stem. practically everything....the woodstock one does look nice if youve got a 26 incher...
  8. you could try and make some new mounts because I dont think there are any 26inch forks with brake monts in the correct place! Then you could weld them on in the right place. this is probably a bit of a mission to do so i wouldnt bother. I would probably just stick with normal 24inch forks or put a disk on the front like you mentioned.
  9. does anyone know a good place to get bike frames re sprayed or a god way of doing it yourself...i would rather get it done properly and pay a bit of money....I have an onza t pro and see that lots of people have them and they all look the same, i wanted to make it look different maybe white and red or something like that....all answers appreciated
  10. cool cheers just wondered
  11. What the hell is Deng!!??!! sounds strange i keep seeing it around on the forum but hve no idea what it is...is it a brand or something.....im new by the way so this might seem a stupid question to people who know what it is if it actually means anything....thanks
  12. lol yer he is of course u can cut the hoses,,,,i guess im gunna have to re bleed them...
  13. herrooooooooooo

  14. i heard somewhere that the seals and tubes can get blocked by limescale and stuff unless you use de-ionised water so it cant go wrong.
  15. woooo its rubb3r....i jst read summit bout micro acooter foam grips and am now gunna try rip my grips off my scooter....i'll be seein u in a bit anyways
  16. right well thanks but i could have guessed that u can cut it with anything but i wanted to know if u need to rebleed and whether the fluid will come out.... ill jst use a scalpel knife to cut the hose but will the fluid come out cos i cant be arsed to bleed them cos i dnt know how yet. ive read some places that u jst remove the olive cut it and stick it back together...just wondered if this is true... thanks.
  17. Is it easy to shorten the hoses on magura hs 33s 2007. ive just bought a bike off a friend and it had no brakes and ordered some hs33s which should arrive in a few days. Apparently they come with full length hoses on both brakes which means i got to cut the front one. Any tips on how to do it easily without need for professional tool or stuff like that. thanks
