  1. Great riding and awesome vid! The first spot you guys were at reminded me of an old video with Martyn Ashton and Martin Hawes (think it was Bi-king).

    Think someone forgot their helmet that day though ...

  2. Yeah the 'magnesium alloy' threw me a little but perhaps this seller is only guilty of been an idiot and does actually have top products?

    The part I find hard to believe is the free postage. Essentially the bike would cost around £470 ..... Hmmm

  3. As for which way we should be sidehopping I have always gone to my left even though my left foot is my strong foot. The last few days I have been riding with other people and they seem to think that you should always hop to the opposite of your strong foot. It felt seriously strange the first few attempts but I think I'm going to stick at it. Has anyone else had this issue?

  4. Just got back into trials after 3 years off. Spent about £600 in total...

    Quick Spec:

    Frame: Zoo! Pitbull 07

    Forks: Echo

    Rear brake: HS33 05 with TNN LGM

    Front brake: Hope Mono Trial

    Brake clamps: Echo

    Cranks and bashring: 'Burns' 170mm on super pro 16t

    Rims: Echo urban

    Hubs: Hope pro II

    Tires: Maxxis high roller's 40a

    Stem and Bars: Zoo!

    Grips: Trialtech

    Chain: KMC Kool K710

    Tensioner: Rohloff

    Pedals: Onza caged

    Headset: FSA

  5. If you've had a few years off, replace the whole chain and not just the split link. I didn't, I just lubed it up and carried on. This resulted in a 7 foot gap to face...

    Ouch dude! Makes me cringe just thinking about stuff like that :/

    Large KMCs tend to not fit through Rohloff too great without modification.

    If I was you I'd get a new KMC Z610HX chain from CRC or Tarty (bit more expensive on tarty) for £9.99 / ~£13, fit that and be done with it.

    Think a new chain would be wise but I'm just not sure how strong these KMC Z610HX are compared to the larger KMC Cool?

  6. I thought I was onto a bargain with the very cheap halfords foam grips. They rode really nice for about a 2 days then started to split. Think I'l go for the trialtechs tomorrow based on what carl said :)

  7. Just started riding trials again after having 3 years off and I'm trying to get my confidence back up. The problem I am having is that there is a strange clicking sound coming from the chain in 1 particular spot whenever I pedal round. I know I haven't got any stiff links but I have noticed that the it seems to happen when the split link goes round the rear cog and into my single speed tensioner. Also if I stand over the bike, lift the crank up and pedal down it always make a click sound without fail every time.

    I am running a single speed set up with rohloff tensioner, large kmc cool chain and splined sprocket. Any help would be appreciated .... Thank you :)

  8. how come your living in leeds then?

    Do you ride street then?

    My parents live in Leeds and I'm all for saving a few quid ;)

    I mainly ride street but that simply because good natural spots are hard to find round here ...

    I live in Leeds and im usually pretty much always up for a ride there.

    And koxx kock you're the guy who pretty much lives down the road from me :P

    Add me on Facebook both of you if you want? www.facebook.com/alexisonfire.coxy

    Got you on FB now mate so once these dredded exams are over we will definately have to start riding :)

    Oh yeah I am 23 (going to uni late I know haha)

  9. Don't know how many of you will remember 'Evolve' but it's a great trials film starring Ryan Leech and Jeff Lenosky. I actually have this on VHS but no longer own a video player so this website is great for anyone who might want to watch it again. This is a classic trials film and always gets me in the mood for riding.

    If anyone knows where I might be able to get the 3rd Calculated Risk film 'Contact' post it below :)

    Enjoy...
