  3. Do You Cycle Apart From Trials?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Manily i do xc/dh dirtjump type of stuff. Just bought my trialsiron so im really into that at the mo. I ride to work. Have done a few xc races in my time, never really bothred racing 4x or DH seems to much of a posers sport

    Bikes:

    Kona colier: I ride preety much everything on that XC/DH the lot

    Saracen xcell: My jump bike thankgod its not the original spec gonna upgrade the frame soon (Y) I ride jumps and street on that really

    Kona Kula Deluxe: probaly the most modified of my fleet. Only really use it to ride to work on at the monement, i just cant get over how nice my colier feels riding xc at the moment so the kula gets the boot

    24seven Holroyd: Im actully in love with this bike

    All I'm saying is to get off his back, he is probs a nice guy in real life, (never really spoken to him) and he don't need people like you lot taking the piss.

    And no, I dont condone what he has done at all.

    Then why defend him if you dont condone it?

    And if he was such a nice guy then why would he repeatadly lie abouts ending stuff, and make up lie's every 5 mins and not have any kind of excuse or apolagy(sp) for the guy he supposed to send stuff to?

  23. My Bikes Been Stolen

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    $10 says that the person who stole it realized 2mins into the ride that there wasn't a seat "f*ck dude, I just sat down and there is a pole in my ass now"

    I hope you get it back man, I always lock up my bikes I'm on like the 2nd floor of an apartment. One around the frame, one around the tires, and one through frames again and attached to the balcony. I figure it'd gunna be harder to lift two bikes off the balcony at the same time than just one. But yeah man, look around, get your friends on the prowl. When you find it, no diplomacy. Tire iron the b*****d that has it and ask them "did you steal this, or buy this from someone" if they stole it, thats at least 3 more smack with the iron right there. If they bought it, just as many smacks until they give you a name. Curb stomp that f**ker American History X style man... minus the racism and ridiculous tatoos...

    :S

    Just to quote Paddy Mcguissnes(sp) "Your one angry b*****d"

  25. Can You Convert...?

    Errr errr errr Spaz, just sticking the bike in a low gear is easy. Decent brakes are more important. Just dont bother with V-brakes.

    Just as well uv got disc. Hydraulic disc I hope, otherwise cables are just gonna slip.

    Utter shit, cables dont slip a bb7 is just as good as a hydrolic hop mono trial or something similair. As for vees a decent setup and correctly installed there just as good if not better than maguras. Explain to me why vee's are shite? and why cable disc's slip so much? what experiance have you had with eaither or any? Because i know speaking from experiance that cable discs dont slip and vees are excellent

    As for your bike mate go for it. Experimenting dosent hurt (only your wallet) i was reading the old school thread the other day and from what i can gather they all uset to ride xc bikes modified and with the seat down. As for what parts you'd need is probaly a decent set of breaks. Avid sd7's are cheap im good, ive got one on the front and its amazing so much hold and power and im preety sure one on the back would be awesome aswell. Any set of ridgid forks as long as there stront and maybe grind your rims . If youve found a decent gear then great but you'd probaly save weight a packet changing to single speep

    But with all the money you'll have spent and the time and effot, its probaly better to try and buy a trials specific bike

    Good luck if you decided to stick with your Carrara
