The description for the frame on tartybikes.co.uk sais it is an aluminium frame and Ti just stands for TIG welded Adam
-
How long is the bb ? If it is 127.5 mm or 128 mm axle it shud fit my t-pro has one in it XD Adam
-
My mate and i were out riding today for the first time in ages and to be honest it wasnt that bad, especially once you warm up a bit we were both in t-shirts in the end Adam
-
My frame used to do that , now i have a booster on it dusnt flex at all though XD it also adds protection to the crossover on your brake. Also a better stronger frame wudnt flex as much. Adam(Y)

Get sum zoo! forks = £80-90 , echo lites around £60, or sum echo urban 20", all really good forks and then you still have money left over for other parts. I had onza ones and then as soon as i got my zoo! 's the weight so so much less XD Adam

Yeh creepy crawlers are really good in the wet when i had them they were no trouble. Wen i needed a new tyre i thaught i'd go for an echo wich a very good in the wet because of the softer compound but i fynd in the wet they dont perform as well as the cc's. I hope i have given you some idea Adam
-
They are more of a smooth comp style rider because they are very light but not very strong, loads of people always crack koxx frames someone not long ago posted up his xtp2 which was cracked. It is upto you though m8. Adam(Y)

I have heard that magura are better. If you bleed an echo with water it will go back to air in no time at all , allso the pistons in the echo's are plastic so if bled with water it will carrode. But thats all just things i have heard not personal experience i am not sure, i wud go for maggy though. Much cheaper and still good quality. Adam(Y)
-
If you have the money buy some new forks, bars and stem, possibly new bb and cranks. Those t-pros are quite good i like em more than some of the new onza bikes Adam(Y)
-
Do you ride a mod or a stock bike because i have heard that a ffw on a stock is a horrible descision if you like your teeth from what i have heard anyways. I have always had a ffw because i have never thaught about using a freehub ,but it is personal preferance really. Adam
-
When its this time of year your brake may freeze if you have a water bleed ? otherwise your pistons may be right up againts the sidewalls on your rim or your tpa wheel is wound too far out. Hope i have given you some ideas to think about and check XD Adam(Y)
-
Anything Onza and 20" is a great starter bike. I started on a T-pro loved it and still do XD i built it up to a better spec now though Adam(Y)
-
I agree buy them both, they are a good deal. But are you sure they are working properly because at that price theres bound to be something wrong. Adam
-
Well roads sounds a good plan but also, my friend has found barrels of the stuff before. Also if you want to risk it it is used to stick down roofing on the top of shed roofs and school roofs etc ... Adam
-
I always use deoderant spray a fair ammount inside the grips, then they slide on really easily and then leave them for about 15-20 mins and they should be solid stuck tight. Adam

Going Backwards On The Front Wheel.
A.Baxter replied to Joe Hawkins's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
You could try doing it the way Danny Holroyd does it where you go up onto the front wheel and roll it back using one or your feet, and your break to keep you from over balancing over the bars Adam -
If your just rolling you are getting there ! All you need to do is jump so that you dont roll :)you have the rest of the technique correct. watch other people doing it friends if any of your friends can do it, and videos on youtube and on here. I hope i have helped slightly. Adam
-
Whaaaat !!!?? Was the xtp brans new ? Did you want them to do that to your bike, because you hav let them hav all the really good parts and they have replaced them with not as good and very heavy onza parts in exchange for your very good , extremly light parts , koxx and try-all are some of the best parts you can get. Adam

My headset was really loose for ages, if you dont do too much front wheel moves it will be fine for a while. i eventually baught a new star nut and top cap and bolt and its fine now. You probably only need to tighten it though. Just loosen the stem and tighten the bolt in the top cap Adam
-
I would say the gusset tank chain off tarty bikes, i wud guess so anyway Adam
-
My friend has a Koxx Monsterboy which is a black everything,except for the rims which are fluro green and its looks gawjuss!! But it is ur bike you make your own decision !! Adam
-
I am always amazed by Chris Akrigg, i had completley forgotten about him until this video. He is still a brilliant rider, amazing without breaks Adam
-
There may still b air in the hosing, or it may need to be cleaned, and when you are bleeding the brake make sure you hav the hole blocked when you are pumping the liquid through the whose, this could be one reason why it has no pressure in the break. Adam(Y)
-
I never met him, but just watching this choked me up a bit. He looks an amazing rider, and i am sure he is a very nice guy :) R.I.P

I wud stay with maxxis creepy's, because i baught an echo rear and it rolls alot, and they are a soft compound so very grippy but they ware down alot too. Adam(Y)
