Dommo

I've got a 1.1, highly recommend it especially at the price on winstanleys. I've just put single speed on with new rear wheel (Pro2 T on echo urban front rim). Absolutely love the set up, very whippy and not too heavy at all especially without the derailleur and shifter etc. If you get one learn the basics first but seriously consider getting good pads and a grind/ tar asap- it makes such a difference! As for the chain tensioner you will probably want a sprung tensioner.... i run this and cant recommend it highly enough- http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/sprung_tensioners/atomz_premier_sprung_tensioner/c48p11440.html Hope this helps! P.S. Snapped my chain earlier.... maybe invest in a good chain too!

Hi guys, i'm Dom. Im from the Southampton/ Portsmouth area but currently at uni in Swansea! Only been riding a month or so so only doing very basic moves at the moment but would love to progress!! If there is anyone in Swansea that rides then let me know, i'm well up for a ride sometime- i haven't been riding in Swansea yet and wouldn't mind being shown the better spots etc. (i've been struggling to find riders from Swansea on the forum!) Anyway, I ride a MAD Phase 1.1, just put on single speed and new rear wheel- loving the pro2 t!

Right, I have been riding trials a bit in my MTB recently and think that if I invest in a purpose built bike I can really improve. Is there anyone who has a second bike that is not needed or is just trying to shift a bike. My budget is around £150. Any help will be much appriciated.
