cheers, but is this all the opions im going to get

as above, just postin up the start of my new video, only like 28 secounds long just want to see what you think, im pretty new to this video editing and its not good just basically wacked them together, wouldve been more clips but the camcorder was playing up and cut some of them out but once ive got my camera it should have alot more content as i was being filmed with my mates. once i have finished it i will upload to a server all comments welcome.

what sort of life should you expect to get out of a wheel?

do tarty use a tension metre? also how much would postage be? should i leave spokes in the hub? or take them out for them to put back in, do tarty build wheels using dt swiss spoke... also i could just take it to local bike shop again and get it built with the old spokes and thats only 5 quid more cheers ollie

there is one small dent and a flat spot so it is not the wheelbuild, i didnt think it wouldve been as the wheelbuilder is a proffesional one and is trained by dtswiss and uses a tension metre, so the rim is a pile of sh*t which rim would you recommend, or would a retension help, looks like it would be another 60 quid to sort out :@ and i dont have that, if it had only been noticed a week ago i would then have not bought my new digital camcorder and got a new wheel. im just going to go cry in a corner and pluck the courage to tell my parents my wheel has broken already cheers ollie

if he was to charge for a re tension how much do you recon he would charge, whats the going rate? also is it worth me wasting more money getting it tensioned or should i just let it break then buy a 20quid dx-32 from tarty and then hope my parents will lend me the money for a new wheelbuild? also if i was to complain to echo what would be said?? and whats the wmail address for complaints as the only one i can find on there S**te site is for business use :@

cheers, tarty adam does wheelbuilds doesnt he/ do you? what do/would you u say?

right here we go for my birthday my sister purchased me a 2006 26'' echo red rim purchased from select bikes, i was very please with this when i recieved it and couldnt wait to build it up. i then got my my mod hub from my parents, this was correct as i had got a 26''inch mod bike, i was alsoi very please with this as it was the echo 116mm black fixed hub purchased from tarty bikes, i then went to my local bike shop who employs a professional wheel builder who is widely recommended by local trials riders and they have had no problems with also he is dt swiss trained. so my wheels were being built and i would be recieving them on the 25th on january 2007 i collected my wheels and they were perfectly true and tensioned correctly, i then have been riding with them for around well 26 days with an average of an hours riding a day most probably less so after 26 hours of riding and owning them less than a month my wheels are now on the edge of breaking, the join on the rim is starting to open up, some spokes are now loose and not holding out and i am very worried that i am going to have to buy a new rim and wheel build due to only being 16 and at school without a job i doubt i will be able to afford the 35 quid rim and 35 pound wheelbuild inc spokes so what shall i do, surely a rim with a proffesional wheel build should last longer than 26 days i find it hard to beleive that i would be able to break a rim in that time weigh only 10.6 stone and 5ft 10inches so far i have not done any drops over 3/4ft on it as i have stuck with getting up wall so to be honest i can just about manage a 40inch wall so thats the biggest drop i would have done. what shall i do??? should i contact select bikes, echo, or just my local shop??? i realy cannot afford for it to break and i think its going to cheers ollie

26'' mod means no rear mech so less to snap but u run a mofd hub spacing 116 instead of 135 basically it realy

does anyone know who is selling there 24'' ashton to ben rowlands? or should i say sold as i think he got it today! cheers for the pictures though

does anyone have any picture of a 24'' ashton, dono name but just like to see a couple anyway. as a guy im riding with is now geting a 24'' ashton i would like to see a picture of one but i have search everywhere and still not found one picture, so i was wondering if any of u guys owned on or have and have picture or if u know of a linky that u would be able to give me cheers ollie

i realy am only gona use it for video and 250 is alot of money for a digital camera but cheers anywway

right im looking to buy a camera to make trials videos, i want one that has good qquality video (no pixelating) i was just wondering what you guys use, how much it cost and where u got it from or even if and of u have one knocking around for sale? if u have link to videos made with ur camra it would be nice so i can sample the quality myself if they have been compressed just tell me or if possible what resoulutionm they video in 640 x 480 800 x 600 etc. make and model price cheers ollie

to be3 honest mate thats realy what i would like to get for it, 100 quid but i was looking on ebay and the onza t-birds are not going for much more than 90 and thats the bike up from this pile of s**t

recently i bought an onza t-vee off a mate as my bike broke i was using it a spare bike so i could still ride trials until i built up my new echo modstock. i now have built up my echo modstock and want to sell this to fund a new camcorder so i can film myself i was wondering how much i could get for it and how close it would be to affording a cam corder it is all standard with a maggie on the back and a v on the front everthing else is standard i have also put one dent in the bottom of the frame with the normal scrathches and wear you would expect on a trials bike i am just wondering how much u recon i will get. cheers ollie

they were wet a slipping all over the place i just held half the grip n half the handlebar, bike spaz i know

you would have problems running a standard brake booster with the reverse mounts though if they were common in trials as you are putting it on wherer the tire is further out so there would be less clearence between the booster and tire... ( i dont know how to explain but i hope you understand).

defently rock pads red, they even work in the snow with a grind to be honest they probably work even better in the snow

check this, my new echo control modstock, i was backwheeling big ice blocks, hours of fun, but u spend more time fixing them than riding on them anyway hear it is after a failed sidehop then it got wedged in the snow so i thought i would take a picture

this is swindon a 2.30

basically yes instead of being completely parelle to the wall u hop u so u r like 90degrees to it

like when u dont pedal hop, u fronthop up something instead of taking a run up like a sidehop but straight to backwheel

whats the biggest tricks uve done side hop: backwheeling: static: gap: for me its side hop: not very big backwheeling: 38 inches (no tap) static up: 24inchs gap:7ft 1'' is that good??? as i only realy ride with a person that knows the same as me i dono how good that is? and how big can u do it? sorry if this is a repost!

i find i loose feel of my bike when im wearing gloves, may sound apthetic but when if i am wearing them and i take them off i seem to do bigger stuff, might just be in my head though, but i dont wear gloves!

my mate has got £300 to spend on a new 20'' mod due to his breaking, what bike would you suggest and where from, i know this is a tight budget i may be able to get him upto 350. he already owns maguras so these will not be a problem , he is curerently thinking the new onza t-bird, what is the front disk like? and is it worth it? i am suggesting the t-pro if he is willing to spend a little more. what do you think?
