i side hopped up a handle bar hieight wall (which i have done many times) back wheel was up there fine, but my front was just on there (which i call in the trade death grip) the front slipped off and i smacked my hand full belt on this wall, now have (i think) a broken nuckle, is 1cm out of place and really F~@KING herts now! result!

just to show you treks new helmet they have released. There a nice trials looking type, covers the back of your head well. Priced at 59.99 and have a crash replacemnt warrenty, so if you break it within a year, is bring it back to the dealer you got it from and they give you a new one .... WIN. heres a pic LINK

hello and welcome, i think your english is better than mine mate, look forward to seeing the pictures and videos!

we have these things in my work, there great against thorns, put dont offer much protection against pinch flats. Panaracer do some, there basicly kevlar strips you stick on the innerside of your tyre - LINK

they are a Eccentric chain tensioner.

cool vid ..

that worked for me .....

i got one the other day trying to up this wall to back wheel, was so determinded to get up it i opened up the shop i worked at, repaired it, and tryed again ... got another 2 ... but i did it, and thought i would treat my self to meat and chips!

i had a mate who used to ride with his middle finger, i just think thats rude!

sounds a plan .. i find i hardly ever get pinch flats, then i get like 4 in a day!

here here ... it makes me laught this forum, some people are just stuck up there own (_:_) bottoms! good vid, i started off like that!

you could be running your tyres to low. i find tyre choice is important. Any tyre with a really fin sidewall is not that good. irc elgato, kujo, maxis hollyrollers or minions are great tyres, but inner tubes (dh) can make a big difference. I used to cut old side walls of tyres and put them in my wheels too. that worked well but did make the bike really heavy

buy steel bikes and you can repair them!

i think disc personal are alot better than a v brkae. apart from braking advantages they also help if you get a buckle as the brake will not catch and also for mud clearance. I actually run a v-brake as i side hop to my left hand side, and i always seem to fall straigh onto discs all the time, which can get annoying. A disc is more powerful though, even though a v brakes on a bigger leverage ratio, the power of the two hydrolic pistons is greater than a v brake offers. The compound of the pads also works better ...

what i like about flowing street trials, you can find something fairly simple like the stairs in this vid, and make it into something hard ...

ill try and get another video up on youtube asap, its great your all like it for sure!

nothing wrong with 24" machines, i do think there so much easier to ride street with! i have a 26" leeson, rides ok, just i want something easier to chuck about .. which i dont really want a 20" and i love the look of 24" (with saddles) waiting to have a go on my mates 24 when he gets it ....

only thing i will say, the old style shimano hubs, screw on free wheels you cant fit the singlespeed onto,

im running a deore v-brake, avid cheap lever and a nokon cable with xtr inner wire, works a treat! brake cost 15, lever around the same ... nokon cable 30, xtr inner 5

that must of hert in the morning, hope all is well

i think my 50/50s are good with the extra pins i put in ... my v8s i had on for aweek before they broke! bearings gave up

TREK do really small helemts, AND they have a crash replacement warrenty, so if you fall of and smash it up, you can come back in the shop you buy it from, and get a new one (that lasts for 6months) most helmet companys do a certain good will thing where they knock 50% off ........ trek helemts start from £24.99 and are not to bad either!

i've had problems with bottom bracket threads going. Most bike shops have tools to clean the threads (much shallower than a tap), but like someone else said. Most shops don't do it in house. ARGOS CYCLES is the best place to call, its around £80 to do. A helicoil could be fitted, but i'm more than certain there isnt one big enough for bottom brackets (i've tried looking into it for someone before). I've tried using a very strong loctight that i use on trek bearing bush's, which i can fill gaps and hold stuff in, but i really would recomend this .. your find it might be cheaper to just replace the frame if you can pick one up cheap enough

glad to here someone has had the same problems too. I do find if i ware my lacoste trainhers there crap, but animal/reef trainers, there all good

CANT POST ON THERE YET, PRE MEMBER ... (
