You mean pivot?
Try getting some rotating momentum by turning the handlebar before pulling your brakes. Front wheel stays still while pivoting. Keep weight over the handlebars. Practice.

Also experiment by pulling too hard and landing on your feet. Maybe the biggest obstacle in trials is the one in between your ears. Fear of falling.
Also refer to this.

Absolutely perfect on a grind.
Those pads are really something. I ran Onza Citrus pads on smooth and LGM came and kiked their butt. On smooth rim. Awesome. Going to grind because summer aint here yet so rain(even snow).
-
This is propably totally noob question, but:
If i grind my rim, will my pads(TNN LGM CNC) disintegrate in a week or do these take the braking?
-
you will be able too but if it hasn't got the 4 bolt mount then you will have to buy the Magura Evo II Adapter
If you are going for the EVO II adapter, make sure that your rim is narrow enough. The widest possible wont fit!
Learned that the hard way...
The first EVO fits wider rims but isn't so nice.

Tap water has air in it just like carbonated water has co2. There might be a way to get rid of it with some addition though.
My brake is fine after a bath bleed, but for how long? *insert dramatic chipmunk here*
EDIT: After some investigations i found this. Air Solubility to Water with dfferent temperatures. So bleed your brake with boiling water and off you go.
-
About that bath bleeding:
There is always little air in the water especially if it is fresh tap water. I speculate that if you leave your bike to stand for winter, the air "un-dissolves" from the water and the brake needs a rebleed. My brakes had mountains of air in them after spending a winter in my room. While the brake is used the pressure keeps the air dissolved in the water.

i had the same probaly dude. on my old blade the crank had come loose and i ignored it then it worn. this happened a cuple of tiime because im a noob . once you get new cranks ( if you do ) id give them a tighten every time you ride your bike and tighten the pedals aswell, i do it. may be a lil but anoying but its worth it ..
hope this helps
matt
This aint bullshit. Seriously check your cranks and pedals for tightness before every ride. Just do it. Please!
I learned this the hard way. F*cked up my cranks.

You could turn the chain around so the split link wouldn't hit the bash or just lose the split link and replace it with normal one. In order to turn the chain around you must take the chain off.

Hi
I'm a guy from Finland who likes to do trials. Finally got money to buy a decent bike and the parts are on the way. My bike will be Onza Limey 3 with mostly Trialtech components. I eager to ride a real trials bike since I've only ridden a MTB. When I'm not riding i play drums i a band called Stay In Echoes( http://www.myspace.com/stayinechoes sorry for the advertising:).

I think it would be easiest to sidehop with a mod. Bigger wheels are better for going in rolling and forwards kinda things. Mods go better sideways because they are lighter and more agile.
-
I have to agree. Tarty is just awesome! Their web-page is excellent and they reply to your emails fast.
Keep it up!

You can try oiling the piston. Because the water doesn't lubricate the pistons as the oil does they get lazy over time. If that doesn't do the trick there must be air in the system. Loads of it.
So try lubricating the pistons and remember to redo the lubrication every now and then to keep em going.

I don't really know what kind of paint are we talking about, but paint could be assumed to wear out an form dust which may decrease braking performance. On my experience anodised finish on my echo rims did that.

Short chainstays and high BB makes bike more controllable on the back wheel.
-
Thanks for replys!
I think i have reached a conclusion concerning this issue. Going for maxxis as suggested. This probably saved me some money on the long run.
-
oh and i would recommend the 2.35 instead of the 2.50
why?
-
i have had a duel ply high roler on the rear for about a year now mate and its hardly showing any sign of wear, my set up is high roller on rear and try-all on front
Super Tacky 42a compound i presume. Sounds promising.
On gravel, grain size about half an inch would it be better to have big knobs or smaller ones? You could assume that big knobbed tyre would rip the ground more than slicker one. If those grains get rolling grip is lost. So would it make sense to pick up tyre like Minion ( http://www.tartybike...&category_id=33 ) or even Larsen 8 http://www.tartybike...&category_id=33 ) over let's say Hi Roller ( http://www.tartybike...&category_id=33 )?
Smoother ones have lower price and they're lighter..

It depends on what type of terrain your riding because:
if your riding competions and you want maximum grip go for the softer compound tryalls.
but if your riding street you'll want something grippy which will also last longer so go for the harder compound Maxxis tyres.
Seen as your wanting A to B tyres you best option will probably maxxis
. i cant really suggest any because i don't ride stock 
I ride some streety stuff while i find a street from this wilderness i live in. Usually i ride on gravel with some pallets etc.
Taking into consideration the terrain would the TryAll stickys provide better grip or should i just go for the maxxis. And if so which one(Minion, High Roller, Swampthing...)?
oh, and the A to B stuff comes in when i go looking for the street to do street.
Maybe one should learn to drive. -
Hi,
I was wondering if i should spend some money on trials-tyres if i'm going to do some "from A to B riding" aswell as trials? Tyres i'm currently on are crappy worn out mtb tyres which are slippy as ice if wet.
So if i ride tyres like TryAll Sticky will they be gone in like a month? If yes, what should i get to get optimal wear life with reasonable grip?
Or should i put my money on something else and grind my old tyres to slics and go ghetto?

You totally can waterbleed hydraulic RIM brakes. I am successfully running water bled maguras.
Water doesn't compress, but if you bleed disc brakes with water, it boils and the steam compresses.
