  1. Thanks for that - the coaching from danny was really to attract beginners, but like the biggest, highest idea aswell!
  2. Hey guys, is there such a thing as a Street Trial where riders compete - I can find lots of natural stuff, but no street? (The reason I ask, (apart from loving trials) is that my Events Company are putting together some proposals for urban / city based events for a major city council) If such events don't exist: Would you be up for competing or just attending? What would be the best format - similar to natural trials i.e A number of timed sections or something more radical? What would make the event off the map? Would beginners like coaching from Danny Mac? All ideas welcome...........
  3. Hey Simon sorry i cant leave feedback on here because i am not a full member thanks anyway and to anyone else who wants to buy something take it from me he is a absolute star.

    Thanks again Simon

  4. Does anyone know if a surly singulator will fit on a Mbk T1000 with a Chris King Classic hub and chris King fun bolts? If not, any chain tensioner recommendations?
  5. Check out your local trials club - even if you ride street, practice days and events will speed up your progress
  6. Last week there was a knock on my door. Much to my surprise it was Chris Barry (Arnold Rimmer) with a bottle of wine for me????????? Apparently I'd helped his wife, Beats a the Jovi Witnesses.
  7. I'm 37 and only started about 2 months; albeit could already wheelie my mountain bike. I try and ride everyday for 20 mins and once a week for a few hours - starting to see some real progress now. Also, visited Essex Trails Club on a practice day which really helped a lot Where are you based?
  8. I think natural stuff more than street is for me. I tried a new Monty 231(?) (£2k+) very nice and a very colorful Koxx which wasn't so good They do feel more like my mountain bike and would be much easier to roll over things i guess. So, what's a good 26" for that style? Si
  9. First post. I'm 37 and recently started trails. I purchased a Monty 20" on eBay which is good to ride, but I can't help thinking (at my age & 6' tall) I'd be better off on a 26" Any thoughts? Or recommendations for a 26" I also like my Eagle Claw bash plate & I haven't seen any 26" bikes with one - are there any? Si
  10. I'm 37 and started riding a few weeks ago! Never to old to have fun. Recommend a used bike (maybe from eBay) so you won't be upset when you stack it. I recently contacted my nearest club - Essex (over an hours drive) and went to a practice day - very worth while and great people. Plenty of tips, advice etc. Really did motivate me. Si
