That looks sick, didn't expect the rim tape to come so far forward!? looks clean. Twitch

yeah its possible just make sure it can be used for the rear, http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=16, theres one off tarty, read the additional info just under the product to double check? And make sure you hub accepts a 'screw-on' if you get me. Twitch

Spray it glow in the dark, i've done it to my pedal's, by day; green'ish. By night; still green'ish, my point being you can still see them! DO IT! i am on my jump bike! and you can get it cheap as chips from halfords!

Me and my mate (doesn't do trials, DH'er, nice bike!) going into hemel hemstead, bucks, for a tit-around, we just wondered if you were wanting to come, nothing special, just a ride probably, and would help me as i'm not amazing, need a proper ride with other people. Twitch It will be next wednesday 3rd Feb

t-pro great to start out on, just about everyone on here started out on that, i did, never looked back, and i would still use it today if i hadnt got a 26", it is an insane bike no questions asked!

If you got the money get the onza t-pro with maguara, most people will tell you to get that
-
yea of course it's possible, i think i've seent them for sale on www.chainreactioncycles.com, and if there is an car mechanics near you they should have a welder, i reckon they'd do it for a price /\ Magura Braze on Kit 4-Bolt From <-- googe that and look for above website /\ bout' 15.00 quid

dude, what the hell? A. What do you mean unhelpful! there may be a few 'unhelpful' things but i bet its because the question was daft? or not? its a forum 2. Not to sure bout the swearing thing, but you are invovled in a rather male/adult dominated sport, if you expected 'oh, you silly nincompoop!' there your in the wrong place D. its a brilliant forum helped me loads, and were else can you find a forum this populated on trials in the uk! so its your only choice 5. Why do we need to do anything for you if your going to be lke that? proove yourself wrong! F. YOU ARE A PLEB, i doubt anyone will consider answering any question you bring forward from now on, and if they do, is because this is a good forum and a helpful, which is far from what your input is at the moment, with regards Twitch

I have a Try-all Sticky White 26" on a Echo SL rim and I weigh roughly 62kg, just wondering what the stupidly low point of psi would be, and what's the average psi for you guys on 26" at the moment I'm on 16'ish psi? And that feels very good, but i can hear the rim 'twang' on some stuff? i know this is mostly personal preference but if there is a way of working it out better, then that will be appreciated very much. Twitch

Sunline - Half Waffle, in GREEN, there insane! insane grip and really nice feel, and whats more, there lock-on's
-
yea, must admit, I'm in the same place as you, but its been 4 months for me! was well annoyed but after a few days you start to realise its just 'part-time' and it only took me bout 3 days'ish to get it back, tis all good now, so just keep it up!

Video Of Me Dropping Off Of An 8 Foot Wall ( Video Is Up )
Twitch-119 replied to Matt Kerley's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
I see what you mean about comparison, but matt says he is incoorporating it into a movie he is making soon, so its not going to be a video of him dropping off a wall over and over again, i hope, otherwise I agree with you (anzo) however he was just asking, about the move and what we thought. And i agree for with the danny mac as not being a traditional trials rider, i beleive it said that in MBUK and more BMX'y moves also. i was just sayin a drop in a video does look good, i think it does anyway -
Video Of Me Dropping Off Of An 8 Foot Wall ( Video Is Up )
Twitch-119 replied to Matt Kerley's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
I dont get why everyone is saying drops are not good, the 'you tube sensation' Danny Mac, had two in his vid and they where somewhat bigger, but still drops. I thought it was good, showed he has the balls, just like everyone said sort the technique out and im sure you are fine. Twitch -
cheers guys, whats the riding like? do you think im ok? and im becoming, well, not very good, do you reckon this is from not doing anything through the winter or something like new tyres are needed i have kenda knarly, i think its thats, too nobbly, thinking bout getting a try-all white? im getting kind off pissed off bout the unimprovement, its never happened to me before this quick? should i just relax, and go with the flow? cheers, Twitch

martyn ashton, but thats just personal preference, there's way too many different styles to truely say who's the best

i feel like an idiot, i tried a cotton reel, didnt think about reinforcment, broke first try, you are a genius, or im a pleb
-
Crates, there very good, and i reckon if you pop down to your local diy store (focus, B&Q) they'll be happy to give you some, but not sure, havent tried yet? and i think you could buy some of an internet site if your willing to spend a bt of money, i hear there quite expensive, but you can always rip them apart and put them back together in some trialsy way if you get bored of just squares? the possibilties with crates are literally endless!
-
just lookin on the members side off the forum, and theres a similar post, if you dont want grind then check www.heatsink.com appparently there top rider's use these pads with non-ground or non tar'd rims! im getting some hopefully so i'll keep you posted if you dont get any? sorry its www.heatsinkbikes.com

Comparing: Onza T-pro Or Onza Rip What Do You Think?
Twitch-119 replied to onzaripmatieral's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
because the hydraulic brake (maggie) has such power it can bend the frame therefore releasing all the potential from actually braking effectively (i think?). I got a booster from tarty bikes for crimbo, before i couldn't hold up on the edge off this wall on my rear tyre and brake alone, but now i can, beacause the frame doesn't bend as much <-- just to give you a perspective. This was on my 26" and i must admit i haven't got one for my t-pro and it's seemed to do fine, however i was slipping off stuff because of the frame flex so i do suggest in getting one and i would think most peole on here would. Fairly easy to find on tarty bikes (http://tartybikes.co.uk/index.html) just underneath 'brakes' down the menu on the left hand side. You can get two types for maggie 2-bolt and 4-bolt, but dont know what the reasoning is behind that, strength i think and if your bying from shop or not id ask just to be safe
