    Nice video, liked the way you stayed on the bike when you diddn't quite make the gap the first time; made it look like you meant to do it. lol. It would have been cool to see you go back up those wooden blocks up the steps at the end.
  2. Thanks for all the good advice on the chains, but will all of these work with a normal front chainring and an acs claw rear freewheel, as aren't the freewheels designed for bmx's which use a wider chain, suggesting that if you need a wider chain that you need a different front chainring? Please tell me if i'm right?! And how did you know i'm validated if that was aimed at me? Cheers!
  3. Hi, thanks for the advice, just wondered why really!
  4. I’m probably going to get a single speed set up for my bike, I’m going to get a dmr revolver ss hub and get an acs freewheel, will a normal chain work, if not will I need a different front chainring if I need a different chain?
  5. Haha, cool, only two good parts! I dont have that much money because i have an expensive dirt jump bike, wont an onza be ok for a beginner to learn on, and then i can upgrade parts if they do break, or is it really worth it just buying a good bike straight off?
  6. Hi, I’m new to trials so don’t really no much, and reading through the forums I’ve noticed a lot of people don’t like onza, I’m just wondering why as I’m thinking of getting one.
  7. Cheers, i've got most of these (live on a farm) is a spool something that you roll rope/pipe around?
  8. I have about 15 8 foot long 2 by 4's that are nice and strong that are off my old quarter ramp that I built when I was into bmx. Now I am going to start trials biking, I want to build a little trials park, where I can practice the basics on, I have enough land and like building so I’m just wondering if you lot have any ideas of some cool things, as piles of pallets on top of each other look a bit boring.
  9. Are there any pictures of this bike, and how much are they? Because i'm on a limited budget so looking for a good, cheap bike. Tahnks.
  10. Thanks for the advice, I’ll get those then I think, do you have any pictures of them because they’re all pixelated on trialsshop's website?
  11. Thanks for the advice, I thought 20" trials bikes looked a little silly (no offence to anyone who rides them). Are the onza guy forks any good because new they’re only £40, and what rear wheel would you recommend, as I’ve found a mission pro trials wheelset for £100 and an onza tango wheelset for £70, but no rear wheels on their own this cheap.
  12. I'm into dirt jumping and freeride, but i've got bored of doing the same thing and it seems that to progress i just need to be a bit more crazy! I watched a Chris Akrigg video on youtube and his style made me want to get into trials. I have a limited budget of around £300. I have looked on a few sites and have found an Onza Spyrogyra for about £270 and tbirds/vees for around this price. I would like your advice on which one i would be suited to, as a beginner at trials, but considering i'm used to a 26" dirt jump bike. Or would it be better to build up a trials bike with second hand parts as i have an onza t-raptor frame i bought around 2 years ago. Also (sorry for going on a bit) but what are a few trials bike shop websites in UK other than tartybikes and trialsshop? Many thanks Alec.
