George ZHI

I just bought a typhoon, AMAZING! super strong and lush to ride! go for it lol. george x

Owwww! haha the guy jumping the stairs at the start lol! george.

Proubly use primor, a good few coats to make sure it wont come off or anything. george x

Wow sounds good, i must try it haha! I agree it must help on the taps and back wheel control. george

TartyBikes, Trials-UK, SelectBikes, HenBikes etc. Hope its a help mate. george x

I live near reading! Sadly a trials spesific shopis quite rare, but my friend mentioned there was one in swindon, not too far! For the wider rimtape i would have a lok on TartyBikes. george x

I no what you mean with the weather! So annoying! Sadly i dont really know anywere indoor to ride in the uk But sometimes to ride in the wet and bad weather can develop your skills. If you want some gloves, i reccomend the hebo trials gloves, i got mine off TartyBikes. george x

Bike looks great! not to sure about the grips hehe, but i love the crank arms! george x

I havent got one myself but apparently there great machines, especially for natural! With the price that they are i dbout there bad quality too, they certanly dont look it. george x

As long as you ride great pads (plaz etc.) then i guess it should bite well and hold well on gaps etc. I would do it mate! george x

If you are looking for a decent, versitile, and not too expensive bike to learn on, i would defonetly reccomend the onza T-Pro. You can get them really cheap 2nd hand too! Seen as your 6ft then you would proubly best suit a long frame insted of short. george x

<i>Cheers for all your suggestioins guys! Yesteday at the Reading ride, Andy was kind enough to give me his zoo pads, so im sorted! x

Cheers for the feedback, ill have a look round Tarty for them. Stu, apparently the old zoo pads are luhsh! my mate had them and there pretty hard to get hold of now but they bite a beast haha. Thanks guys. x

Tar, smothe rim x

Hey, ive got HS33 front brake. Ive currently got V!Z pads on at the mo, but getting a bit old and worn. Are there any reccomended pads please? Cheers george. x

Defonetly some 661 veggie pads, quite free to move round and bend in and do the job! x

I think natural would be best to keep practasing on because it builds balance etc. But dont just choose 1, do both! there both great fun. x

It's proubly your pads, i hear they do make NOISE, either possibly change to disk, if your running tar, dont! or just experiment with different pads. x

Ride both! At comps theres great atmosphere and great fun competing. Street is fun too! As theres so many lines you can make etc. x

Have a look around TartyBikes. I think a beginner would most suit a 20" bike, so possibly the T-Bird or T-Vee mite be your best bet mate. x

I just got the 08 TP, super strong and lush to ride! Ive seen people riding the LE on street to. I would go for it if I were you mate, there good quality frames! x

Thanks for the link, very good description there lol Cheers george.

exactly what i was looking for thanks mate, but anymore help would be great. as i dont really understand long descriptions ha i get a bit confussed.

well basically i have been practicing for some time and have been able to do like 20" wheel height! i really want to go bigger e.g bar height. i saw a really good example of how to get taps spot on but i cannot find it on trials forum anymore. so if there is anymore advice that will help me alot i will be very pleased i have tried trash zen but this doesnt help me at all. also i would prefer if riders with a bit more experience on taps could help me, as im sure they will no exactly what to do and what not to do. also i ride a 08 gu tp mod if this helps. cheers george.
