Great. Does someone want to start a proper ride location thread as i can't yet, cheers. see yous wednesday. 2 hours ahead of me Nick, Spot on. Looking forward to Bournemouth. Hope i'm validated soon so i can reply to other topics other than just new members.

I've not ridden Bournemouth before so i'll be up for that, Tuesday or Wednesday i'm free both.

I'm off work for another week and could do with some catch up practise sessions. Is anyone up for some rides in dorset? Bournemouth, Poole, it's all good.

All sorted now. Cheers Feva.

I'm changing my rear freewheel today, well, ment to be, and i don't quite know how to get the old one off. It's a DICTA if that helps. Thank you. Terry.

i'm good for transport bud. Got a MPV thingy. 12ish wasn't it?

are people still riding milford tomorrow? I've checked the forcast and poole seems like better weather, but i'll ride with the majority.

will do bud. thankyou.

I'm gutted about round 6 being canceled, so, is anyone from the hbtc or anyone riding dorset on sunday? Open to suggestions. hopefully will be a nice day.

Can i only buy a 18 tooth chainring as part of a bashring? Cheers.

i'm currently running a Saracen Flea4 converted single speed with a 22 tooth chainring at the front and a 16 tooth freewheel at the rear. I thought this was standard practice in trials on 26" rims so i have got on with it and am gettting to grips with most minor moves. But, at my compitition on sunday, the club secretary mentioned that he thought my gearing maybe too high for me. Do i change my front chain ring to a 26 tooth or somthing similar? Please help, Slightly confused over the matter. cheers big ears.

suppose so this is my first year. 10.30 it all starts.

can't see why not. its sign posted "bike trial" on the A272 by the "seven stars" pub. see you there. I'll be with the hords of children. well 3.

i know who you are i'm in the novice set as well, bring on the blue sections next year i think.

your a big shiney star thank you.

I've just bust my chain de-linker and have a compitition tomorrow. Any one going who could possibly take theirs with them to help me out as kids have gone to bed and i can't get to tesco as a quick fix.

thank you eskimo, good advice, ride safe.

so i can get away with not stretching the bank too much and buy the chainring next week. there isn't 1/8 specific chainring then?

my new 16t freewheel has arrived this morning and it's a 1/8 size, my current chain is smaller and obviously i have to go and buy a 1/8 chain, but does my 22t chainring need changing too?

thank you. hand pump is going on the shopping list. ta ta

hi i've been riding trials for two years when i can, having a family with no garden makes riding time very hard to aquire, so i tend to ride by myself and wondered what pressures (psi) other riders use in both front and rear tyres. I run around 40psi in the front and about 28psi in the rear. is this the same with other riders? A marshall at my club mentioned most run 17psi on the rear! this was far too low for my old tyre but now i have a 44mm wide rim and a big betty 26" 2.4 tyre but haven't got my freewheel yet so haven't used the new set up. cheers peeps.
