  1. YEAH, WELL куетн гдот ироут тоже суле.
  2. Most people pick mod to start on often because they're young and can't really throw a stock around. You really need to try either first before you get one.
  3. Neither type of bike is massively better at one thing than the other. There's proof either way of that, people say mods suck at taps but I know 3 guys who do it. And people might say stocks suck at spins and sidehops but danny mac used to ride an echo stock and damon and neil both do big sidehops on stocks. Sure, any bike with working brakes can be used to learn backhops and pedalkicks, and bunnyhops and so on.
  4. The geometry would be wrong, and not all frames have disc mounts.
  5. Yes, but if you do them too tight it wrecks your bearings. Leave them loose enought to be smooth but with no play.
  6. Mm, it doesn't exist, Otacon explains why so you'll have to get a front one for the back anyway.
  7. Risers are better really, you can change the feel of a bike loads just by moving the bars forward or back. 110x20 would be ok, I guess. Those bikes are more of a jump bike than a trials bike though. You can use risers with 110x20 if you want.
  8. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=2078&category_id=42 Definitely not.
  9. Well, I can't think of anything to put here atm. Making a guitar is pretty cool though, so you've got a proud achievement, so be happy about it.
  10. I can't use the TF uploader. It says there's 20mb for me to use, and that I've used 20.08. Usually it'd be the case of deleting pictures that are in my gallery, but there aren't any.
  11. All of the nottingham riders I knew seem to have quit and sold up, which is a big shame. I know there's more around but I've only seen them once or twice, and I don't have names or numbers, haha.

    If you've got a car or a railcard, it's no problem though.

  12. Haha, nearly finished then! You don't live too far from me, I'm on the other side of beeston.

    What course are you doing?

    Have you decided what size of bike to look for? It shouldn't be too long until you're validated I think, so you can look for bikes in the for sale section.

  13. Yeah, this is a good place to find out anything you need to know. I see you've found the Tartybikes videos too, even better!

    Nothing about techniques on tartybikes, but if you get out on some rides you'll soon pick stuff up.

    Oh, cool, fair enough, when do you move up here then?

  14. Cool, yeah, it is! I've been there quite a few times, although not for a couple of years now. How long did you live in Poland?

    No probs, I live relatively close to there myself, used to go there all the time to ride. Mind you, one of the best spots there has been removed.

    You just starting out at trials?

  15. My mother's Polish :P I'm afraid I don't speak Polish though :(

  16. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
  17. I think the Atmoz Premier does actually have 135mm dropouts. It's like the only one though. It has vertical dropouts and its own built in tensioner, does it ring a bell? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10882&category_id=10 It's that one. It's such a faff though, it's not worth the effort.
  18. It shouldn't be the oil that's the problem... Dot 4 is dot 4, it's a specific weight and composition. It could only really be the bleed, but you said you did that right so
  19. Southern fairies are forbidden from using the language of champions. Also, congrats on the kid
  20. No, they're called freehubs. A cassette is actually the 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 gear cake that you have when you use gears, which fits onto the freehub. No, that's not true either, otherwise they'd always be undoing. They always get tighter, which is why they're hard to get off.
