  1. Hey, This keeps happening to a lad I ride with. Is it the first time you've started using a metal tpa? Because they do seem to get cross threaded often but not as often as plastic ones. So if this is your first time using a metal one, you wont get it crossthreaded as often. Make sure that the bolt that the tpa threads onto is new. Because if the threads are jiggered it sends the tpa off the thread causing it to jam. There was no point making plastic tpas really because they work for a bit, then get jammed and are a bum to sort out. So yeah metal ones are the way forward. Ive got a 74 kings one now and it works no problem. But if you have any problems with your metal tpa now. Give us a shout and I'll make you one on my dads lathe. Thanks smithy x
  2. Bonjour Je'mapelle Oliver. Ja'habite ou Huddersfield. Welcome to the forum, stick to the rules and you'll get validated in no time. smithy x
  3. Ebay's your best bet. But If you get validated you can pick one up very cheap in the F/S section.
  4. Mines a Koxx Boxx. They look the shit. And ride a dream. x
  5. Yeah! There is no Best frame as there are many of them and each are different. But the likes of a Mission Prodigy and a Koxx xtp there is a great difference in quality, weight, stength and looks maybe. But there is no Best Frame as there all different.
  6. Ive used loads of stuff. But water seems to work the best. Sounds daft but it does. Gives a sharper lever feel. But to be honest it's best sticking with Magura Royal Blood, because hydraulic brakes need lubrication and water is not the best lubricant. The safest option is to use Magura royal blood. But theres other's that work. I've used WD-40, DOT 4, Royal Blood and water, and water is far the best and easiest. Oli x
  7. I guess people don't have the skill to ride comps. They cant balance etc all they do is gap sidehop and tap. Mainly just sidehop. smithy xx
  8. Yeah thats it. But on my first acount I advertised the falcons and nadine s does it now. I know theres more riders around here they just cba like ash. Its just pointless.
  9. Fred Savadge. He has some on his ebay shop and the website. www.trialsman.com. oli x
  10. T-Pro's are a popular choice as the frame geo is good, same as the 05 koxx. But you can build up with the frame and make it into a very nice bike which rides ace. The thing is with T-pros, the standard parts arent really good. But you could pick one up cheap and then spend some more cash just building it up a little. Like putting new bar and stem on, new forks, amd possibly new wheels and cranks. You could easily make it into a tidy starting bike. Smithy x
  11. Its best just saving up mate. I've bought some stuff on here and its been alright but I did buy some cranks and they were jiggered smithy xx
