I have a wheel i need to build or attempt to build, Thing is i am using this hub http://www.trials-uk.co.uk/files/ecomproducts-image-1943.jpg I'm wondering how i should go about cutting down the spokes for the bigger side?

i'd imagine he'd be in alot of pain.............

normally the ercall and sometimes the wrekin, although it doesn't get much use anymore, but would like to ride it more......

i love the brakes, better than the mini's because they have the adjusters on the top. i did have a crap chain device on there before but i swapped the crank over because it was shocking and it had to go as well, any recommendations for a chain device?

I like it, the way you ride to the music at the start makes me crease but yeah a few more lines would make it better instead of single moves

I'd like to hope a bit more as the amount of stick it's had is minimal, (as you know )

Doesn't Arron Chase ride a street bike in a sort of trials way? i'm pretty sure on the new world disorder video he was on he did, and that was some pretty awesome riding on that. well worth checking out anway. oh and jeff whatshisface, who rides with arron

i believe they're dirt jam legs, and drop off stanchions and internals and i think they are basically junior t's only without the through axle bit? work well though

this is my specialized bighit, also any ideas of what it's worth would be great spec: 04 expert frame marzocchi forks ( made of dirt jam legs and drop off internals and stanchions, but work mint! FSA 'The Pig' headset rpm crank (splined) shimano dx pedals hope c2 brakes atomlab 24" rear rim, dt swiss spokes on a shimano hub with a schwalbe tyre (cost 12 quid! BARGAIN!) mavic disc rim on dt swiss spokes and club roost hub scott bar and stem specialized fuse seat manitou shock (4 way)

i like that, alot, great video

i thought your bike was ok personally,

http://www.youtube.com/user/djthecj there you go mate, its my first trials bike so im not that good yet

im not going to argue, because you know what a f**king dirty whore rides like. LOVE YOU TOO

you are 4 times more likely to be mugged in england than in new york because you dont live in new york jimmy carr is a legend.......FACT

ive actually put some chain tugs on it, i wasnt too sure on drilling the frame as i didnt want to bugger it up really, although chain tugs are a pain......

cheers, i recommend them for the money!

I've been riding my 24/7 Holroyd for a few months now so I thought I would write a review about it. This bike isn’t very common as its the first trials bike 24/7 have made as far as I know (I haven't seen another!) correct me if I am wrong. But it is basically based on a zoo! Pitbull. I like the design of the frame and think that it is a quality build, the welding looks neat and tidy and the paint finish used on the frame looks really nice and stands out from other silver/black frames on the market. So far I have used this bike for a mixture of street and natural and it seems capable of handling both. The geometry is something around 1090mm long, 20+ bb with 24/7 trials forks. Some people are unaware that these frames come with a 116mm spacing in the rear meaning they are made for a mod/bmx hub, making a wide variety of hubs you are able to use dependant on budget. Before I built this bike up I was riding an Onza t-vee to get a feel for trials. This bike had vee brakes, 22-18 gearing and 20” wheels so it was a completely different animal but I am happy I made the change from small to big wheels as it is definitely for the better as I feel more at home on 26" wheels. I’ve found that balancing is easier and getting onto the back wheel is easier, I suppose with the different ratio it’s made easier too. The bike feels much more controllable, it feels nice and stable on the back wheel which makes my gapping more controlled and accurate. I feel that with this frame the increased control has enabled me to concentrate on my technique much more, which means I have improved all round SPEC- - Magura hs33 rear brake with zoo! Greens - Hope mono mini front brake - Echo 07 rear rim on Onza hub with DT Swiss spoke as recommended by Jonny mc - Mavic front rim on Club Roost hub with DT Swiss spokes but I am building the same as rear for the front - Echo cranks with ACS freewheel - DMR v8 pedals - Echo bars and Monty stem - FSA headset and bottom bracket I paid £100 for the frame bottom bracket and headset off eBay and I think that the whole build cost me roughly £350. I'm happy as this is a very good first proper trials bike, especially on my budget and I hope to be riding it harder soon! The only thing I would change on my bike is to put some riser bars on because I’m only of a small to medium build and the bars I have on now are flat. Because of the bikes low front end I feel riser’s bars will make some difference making it more of a more comfortable ride. Below is a picture of my bike… http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/djthecj/IMG_0867.jpg Hope I’ve answered any questions, if any body does have any don’t hesitate to ask J Cheers CJ

is this press also called a vice and two pieces of wood?

i can trackstand for a year, but its just on the back wheel thts the problem..... ill try riding more now that the weathers nicer!

ok then, i thought i needed to hop around abit more on the bike anyway, and as for the exercise ball idea, ill pass, but its a good idea none the less, id just feel a idiot haha thanks all the same

i need a bit of help with balance, i can wheelie on most bikes but i can't stay static with the front wheel in the air. im just wondering whether there were any techniques for this, also i stuggle to balance on uneven ground, thanks

so you havent got a bash guard? im gonna buy a proper bash guard instead

moll grips? clamp some moll grips onto the top of the bolt and try and turn it if not mayb whack the blowlamp on it and try it its gotta be tight on the bolt though......
