  1. I personaly find things easyer on a 26 because of being higher up and the wheels tend to roll over things better. When i first started riding (afew years ago now) I rode a 20. They were the lightest bikes at the time,now though 26 are equally as light as 20 so it makes sense to go for a 26 mans bike all the way! lmao
  2. Nice riding there buddy, some nice little riding spots aswell.
  3. Just want to know if they are worth the money and are they likely to leak? I would be using them with magura slave cylinders.
  4. I say keep the kortz I have one and it rides sooooo nice, are you not getting on with your kortz then?
  5. I had a go on my mates when he had one, personaly i didnt like as it felt like a horse also he used a mod stem with it something like this. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29

  9. Nice vid, a good combination of street and natural. The old woman at the end lmao.
  10. It feels really nice only had afew hops in the back garden mind I think the long wheel base makes up for the 60mm bb rise.
  11. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=...5695&ref=mf Heres a link to my bike.i have just built it up yesterday evening and tonight rockman kortz green echo sl headset trialtech wheel set front bb7 rear magura with coust cnc pads tryall rage bars trialtech stem tryall 108 free wheel on the back trialtech alloy half ring on echo cranks echo hifi forks Hope you like.
  12. Thinking of buying these forks,any one know how strong they are. Im not that heavy at 11 and half stone but iv only just started to learn front wheel moves. Any one know? thanks
  13. Personally I find the BB7 to be much better for trials. The hope usually has very good bite, but doesn't have quite the same holding power as an avid. I feel more confident with my BB7 that I can really throw myself to front without the brake slipping.
  14. I work in the steel fabrication industry. I dont think it would last very long to be honest as it is a very high stress area. Steel needs to be stress relieved by baking in a furnace at about 650 ÂșC for about one hour or till the whole part reaches this temperature.
  15. When you take off make shure your back wheel is right on the edge of what you are taking off from, this helps to give you more distance as the tyre compresses on the edge. I v just got into the habbit of doing it and it helps loads. also give it a realy hard pedal kick for power.
  16. I have a trialtech 2 bolt booster, its light and very stiff
