    Hi all,

    These are some bike trials pics I used to keep in my HD. Ops, the last one, just forget about this surreal kind of stuff. Joking!

    By the way, a friend of mine is going to London in three weeks and I would like to buy this ENO 18t trial freewheel, that I won´t find here where I live, so, could any of you guys give some tip about a shop where to buy this? Thanks in advance!

  4. Kinematic Issue

    Hi all,

    I have seen here but couldn´t find again using the search engine, so I need help with this, please: what is the name of the energy or force (I don´t know) resultant of the pedaling movement that gives you the "propulsion" to pedal up, for example, an obstacle? Kind of physics stuff but, it´s ok. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. Is it something regarding kinematics or so?

  5. How Bikes Used To Be

    Has to be new school all the way for me, if its not got a dirty high bb then i dont like it lol.

    I agree. Imagine the sport without the frame geo used today. We got many improvements. It also "looks more simple" now and safer?

    A bit out of the thread I know but, I kinda really wanted to post this comment.

    Best regards!

  6. Technique Or Power?

    First you find out how to do the maneuvers by learning them technically (watching videos; chatting...). Then, you need power to achieve some movements. Between these two stages, you learn a lot of stuff that neither the "video lessons" taught you, nor your power helped. At the end, everything looks so smooth, that you don´t remember which of these two attributes is the most important one.

  9. Side Hop Fall

    I´ve been riding a lot these days and would like to know more about Side Hops. Have you guys ever got serious injured training side hops yet? Can you give examples please? I am, everyday I can, trying it higher and higher, so, the aspect "Fear" grows as I am developing the maneuver, you know. Until today, anyway, I haven´t had any "injuries" on this. On the other hand, praticing pedal hops, taps and other stuffs, I have already almost broken my big toe, you know, besides blowing my wrist, of course.

  10. Plazmatic Pads X Echo 26" Rims

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    I use Echo 26" rims and I believe (not sure) that is light grinded (anodized for sure - they´re yellow), and also, noticed that riders who buy this rim like to grind it using tools for it. I also use these Echo brake pads for grinded rims. Question: Would the plazmatic brake pads work appropriately on the "braking surface" of this rim? Would these pads last in this case? Can you help me with this issue please?

    Best regards!
