  1. If you are running a square tapered bb then you might have rounded the bb axle, this could have happened if your crank arm was loose and you didn't know. If you can tighten the crank up and it still comes loose then i think you have the same problem i have had in the past. Hope this helps.
  2. Id say when i found out someone in a village nearby me was riding trials an was better than me (there isn't many riders round me) That made me dying to be much better than him so i focused on really trying hard and i got better It feels good.
  3. Bit of nice riding there I wish there were places like that to ride where i live.
  4. Huge bunny hops because they look quite impresive And are easy to do.
  5. I have a mate who has riden one an he said that the front is really heavy and that it stem is a awquard angle to make the front easy to rise. They look good for the money though, just the geo apparently is not very good. (not my words)
  6. Id say disc's ! You don't have to worry that a buckel in your wheel will affect the braking. They also are alot cleaner and don't get as dirty.
  7. I would agree to get a decent ride. If there's to much power you don't get that much quality from your moves.
  8. I can't really say because have never done much natural but from what i have done of it i think street. Just because there is more of it around and you can be really imaginative with what you want to do. (even though you could proberly do the same in natural) George
  9. Its been about inch an a half but now its gone to water An its all wet so not thats good for riding.
  10. I have had quite a bad fall when i didn't practice enough before i tried to do it off a high wall and forgot to take my front wheel off the wall any fell and done my back in. Just make sure you can get it every time and you will be fine. Trial and error. Hope this helps
  11. well the spokes arn't really that tight ? They did seem a bit not tight enough, but im no expert with wheel tention ? I ride both but this is my 26" wheel I surpose i do do quite a lot of spinny moves but mostly on my 20", but i did buy the wheel second hand ? To be honist i think its the spokes ?
  12. My rear wheel keeps getting buckled really easy, does anyone know why ? I have a Try-all rim, bmx hub but don't know what spokes. I have only just got it trued and after 5 mins it has already buckled.
  13. I have a rear HS33 with a smooth rim, could anyone tell me the best pads to use with smooth rims ? George
  14. I didn't, i only tightened them enough to stay on
  15. Hi When I tightened my Hs33 leaver to the handlebars the part whare the bolt went through,the two sides off metal had snaped leaving a gap, it oviously has just split from being tight. Does anyone have any ideas of repairing or where to buy a cheep new leaver ? On tarty there like £40 George
  16. Hi I haven't been riding long only about half a year, I started off with a T-bird which is basicly the same, its a good starter bike, much better than a Onza Rip, the birds are nice bikes for begginers so i would reccomend it, if you are very serious about trials them maby think about making you budget a bit bigger ? Hope this helps George I agree, second hand is the way, I bought a second hand 24/7 Holroyd for like 200 and its aswome.
  17. To be honist, if you ran say pink pedals or grips, something to match it wouldn't look so bad, if I were you I would go for quailty and pfeformance befor looks but i think it would look quite good yes. I have an Echo lite with blue rims, grips and bars. Red looks good though, if you look on Google images. George

    few southend clips

    How old are you ? That was good keep it up !
  19. Hi Im George, haven't really got the grasp of how this works yet, but I gess il soon find out. I live in Wrexham, which is in North Wales, I have been only riding for about half a year. Not really sure how im progressing in riding, or if I am doing ok for how long I have been riding. Im 14, find "stock" easy to ride but "mod" much more fun.
  20. I have an Echo Lite This is my set up : Echo Lite frame Magura HS33 Rear Shamino Front brake Trailtech crank Gusset pedals Onza bars Onza wheels Onza stem Onza Mongo 3 headset Echo Urban 4 bolt brake booster Onza steel forks Tenslie freewheel Trialtech 12t sproket Could you please tell me how i could loose weight by ugrading parts ?
  21. If you have grinded rims then there are some good heatsink pads, i have a set of the blue heatsink pads on my 24/7 holroyd which has grinded rims and the braking power is brilliant. If you have smooth rims, i can't really say because im still running the same magura black pads on my echo lite. George
