    Anyhoo...

     

    Don't think there are any trials riders anymore over your way. Matt Vokes (Matt Urban) keeps talking about getting a bike again but don't think it's happened yet... Bambi doesn't ride and now lives in Southampton and all the others who used to ride trials have stopped I think.

    Deffo wasn’t me I’ve never had a inspired

  3. Update

    Just got a effect in to try out

    looks nice but bars are 25 inch wide and gear is to hard and skips because chain is only round about 5 of the 13 t cog !

    I think with wider bars and 14t/15t cog the bike would be much better. The rear hub is a bit gappy but quite strong also ive noticed a strange mount on the disc side i think it will become a bolt on disc guard !

  4. I got into it about a year ago and got a 1999 beta techno 250 for £600.

    It was really good but a bit snappy hard to control at very slow speeds .

    I now have a 2005 beta rev 3 its much smoother and lighter and turning iS much tighter.

    I would say get the best bike you can with your money but make sure you have some left over for repairing it!

    I fell off lots when i started broke levers and gear lever almost every time i went out because i was going nuts up hills far to steep.

    Beta = well made BUT have sticky clutch problem but its a easy fix

    GASGAS = not well made but ride very nice

    Scorpa = very good and has yam engine

    Montesa = well made but out of date and has very good honda engine

    Thats what i would stick with

    250 if your 16 or older for local comps a 125 will do most of it but a 250 is best all rounder

  5. They all have more than 2 gears though ! with ony two gears the hub should be small and lighter prob about the same as a cassete hub with a crap 9 speed cassete on!

    One gear could be direct and one geared down to trials

    I would rather have 3-4 lb at the rear wheel than 5lb at the cranks

    Every time you tug on the bars your pulling up and holding 4lb more than if you had burns! try it two bags of sugar taped to your downtube !

  6. It's disrespectful to the reader to write in such an "NMC" fashion. It also annoys most members and makes the place look like a mess which is why it is not tolerated. Would you walk around in torn clothes covered with mud just because you're not in a beauty contest?

    yes because im a mechanic not a office worker (think about it before replying)

  7. Hardly, it's not that bad. Do you not find it annoying when people type stuff like "Yh m8 I wuz owt on my bike bt it wz well cld".

    It takes 3 times longer to read for starters, and as the OTN people picked up on, it makes you look stupid.

    You don't have to be perfect at English, just a bit of effort is all it takes.

    Yes this modern text talk does get on my tits but people having a go at me for fook sake im 27 soon i dont need some spotty kid telling me a need a A level to use this forum i came away from school with very little but i have never been out of work for nearly 12 years ive had a job and been paying tax and for twats to go to uni and get pissed and fail or pass and get a job at burger king >_<

  8. I think its all bollox its a trials forum about bikes . Its not a english exam im shit at this typing and spelling stuff but i can strip and fix any bike and any car/van/truck /motorbike

    This forum is heading towards the Third Reich (N) maybe a bit harsh but you know what i mean :S

    as for seniors there is no point in them that i can see
