Gloves plx You should add a poll to this post, would be interesting to see the results I like riding wothout gloves if i'm playing about outside the house, if i'm on a proper ride, i'll wear gloves.

ok cool, guess I'll have to get myself there by train to partake in the rides! Looking forward to gettting my bike now, can't wait.

Hi, I live Aintree/ Walton way, Near the little Tescos on the Vale. Not to far from Rampworx i think, not that i have ever been there! You? Dug

I've heard mixed things about the Phase 1.3. Mostly that the frame is very good, but the rest will not last you long as you improve. How long have you been riding trials? Are you just starting? If so, the 1.3 would be ok, but you will pretty soon find that the brakes are not up to much. The problem is that the Phase 1.3 comes with a disc only fork, so if you wanted to put Maguras on it, you couldn't. And the back V-brake will be pretty poo. But can be upgraded to Maguras witht he Evo II mounts. I was looking at getting a Phase 1.3 for a second bike to play around on. I've come to the conclusion that the Phase 1.2 whilst being more expensive, will last SO much longer. Well, that's what's right for me. In essence, if you can afford a phase 1.2 with the HS33s, then do (£430 here ). In my opinion! Try riding them both and see which feels better. Hope that helps Dug

Wow, that was some fast reponse! I can't make it then, i have no bike! But thanks very much for the invite. I will have to keep my eyes open for more posts to find out when the next rides are. How many people normally turn up? Sounds like a laugh tearing up the town! hehe. Cheers

Hi, I'm new to the forums here. I'm from down south, living in Liverpool now, and was wondering what the scene's like? I used to ride quite a bit of trials, but have not touched the bike for about 5 years, so I'm pretty rusty! I'm looking to get a MAD bike in a few weeks, either the 1.3 or 1.2, keep it nice and cheap! What i really wanted to know is how good are you guys who ride here? What kind of places do you ride, how often etc, and will i feel very inadequate!? Cheers
