  1. I like the Blue rear rim on the addy. What cranks are they? Does it ride nice?
  2. I bought a T-Comp Frame, Spent bout a week and roughly £120 fixing it up. Only to snap it on the first ride. Now have a somewhat tainted view of these frames. Got a T-Bird and a T-Vee and have had no complaints from them
  3. Also forgot to add To try and keep joints articulated Help to improve flexability Especially in the cold
  4. I'd work on your Latisimus (triangle wedge in back), Deltoids(Top of shoulder), Pectoralis (chest), Forearms and biceps, Quadraceps & hamstrings (upper legs) In the gym:- To work the muscles listed above machines or exercises you would need to complete are as follows Latisimus - Vertical traction machine Deltoids - Shoulder press machine, Dead lifts or Handstands Pectoralis - Chest press machine, Bench presses, press ups Forearms & Biceps - lift dumbells, chin ups/pull ups, tin-tank;) Quads & hams - Leg curls and extensions If you want to increase your muscular strength, You would want to complete a small number of repitions of these exercises lifting heavy weights (80-100% of your one rep max(One rep max = Greatest amount of weight you can lift)) For example On vertical traction (lats) my one rep max is 100kg, So I would lift 80-100kg 10 times in one set. If you want to increase muscular endurance ( stamina, stop you getting tired quicker) You would lift a smaller weight more frequently. 40-60% of your one rep max For example Vertical traction 100kg one rep max, I would lift 40-60kg 50 times in one set. But I would try Mountain climbing, There is some great indoor surfaces across the UK I would also use a rowing machine, or go swimming, as these work most of the muscle groups in the body Just to try and stay active over the winter When the weather blocks riding EDIT: Not Just copied from wiki, BrianMac, BBC etc.
  5. Forks killed it. What does it ride like?
  6. In a simply lovely shade of orange, Looks darling Sorry Paul
  7. There not motocross bars There MTB bars
  8. Hi all, I've Just got a pair of Renthal RC sub 130 handlebars, And I was just wondering weather anybody knew if they were any good or not, before I put them on my bike. There light as hell and feel strong aswell. Only I've never come across the brand in MTB, BMX or trials, Only ever in motocross. So any info would be muchly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Meki
  9. I don't care Didn't Want a mars bar anyway LOL Good idea about upping the stakes a little, But you think People will actually want to pay? I think you'd be better off buying dome grips or something.
  10. Need your Email address then please mate. Thanks
  11. Just an idea guys. Never know if it might increase an interest towards the site, If made available on iTunes Just thought maybe a montage to trials riding would be good Maybe not monthly, Could be done annually Trials-Forum Presents Best Of 2008 This wasn't just a pointless thread, I Thought it could actually work
  12. Agreed, Thank god your ok after that aswell
  13. Most mechanics will press it flat for you, Probably for nothing, Or the cost of a pint I got one to press mine, When I bashed my front disc off a rock (:
  14. The best of the month on Trials-Forum Downloaded straight to your iPod For those train rides to your ride location Good idea? I'm aware that you can download videos of trials-tube And of Chris Akriggs Podcast But just a thought....
  15. As i dont really have a clue about Design and Manufacture, Yes i suppose i do want someone to do the work for me. Thats kinda why i asked. I would commision it obviously, But i was unsure weather i was allowed to place this in NMC.
  16. I saw someone running thier cranks about a month ago or so I asked about them because i had never seen them before He said that there were the best pair he'd ever owned (On an Adament A3 MOD)
  17. IMO Pads last longer aswell So costs less to keep buying new ones Also Vees hold amazing (i know its been said before just agreeing)
  18. Tensile Everyone who i know whos ever had one has had no complaints (:
  19. Is anybody here a dab hand at graphical design and production? I am looking for someone to design and manufacture a set of custom decals for my bike Or if anyone can give me any tips to help me in doing this MSN or Email Meki-@hotmail.co.uk
