  1. I sold a rear race line on ebay for 64 quid that was in as new condition but i think the guy that bought it just wanted it and didnt care how much it cost him. I have the front one forsale in the forsale thread for 40 quid but I think im being a little expensive with this price.
  2. what size of bike you get will depend on what kind of terrain you will be riding, what height you are and most importantly what feels most comfortable for you, find a few riders where you live and have a go on their bikes
  3. like the title says i need a new rear tyre for my stock what do you recommend
  4. its my front wheel and i run a disc
  5. i obviously dont have a proper stand whats the easiest way to find the deviation in the rim
  6. yeah i think i will give it a go on my old wheel first befor i unleash my self on my new wheel lol cheers for all your help guys
  7. sounds like i will be buying a spoke key then lol. is it difficult to actually true a wheel i have read the wiki page and it doesnt seem too difficult to do. or is worth just paying the 6 quid my local shop charges
  8. di i need a spoke key too true my wheel or can i use a flat head screwdriver on the nuts that are inside the rim
  9. That is correct you can use a complete 05+ lever body with your 2004 callipers. the only thing you cant do is use a newer lever blade on the old lever body. Try ebay you get alot of older hs33 for spares on there. Hope this helps
  10. i got mine for around 120 and it is in vgc
  11. I have a hifi and I love it the bb is quite high but I dont think it matters once you get used to it oh and I have a 47mm rim on the back and it fits no problem. Hope this helps if you need anymore info give me a shout
  12. I got into biketrials to help my moto trials progress, as im sure you understand the police aint too keen on motorcycles riding up and over walls in town. And from there it has taken over my life lol
  13. It could be that when you put the booster on your callipers may have moved out of allignment, due to undoing the bolts. Try setting up your brakes again and go from there. Hope this helps.
  14. Hi I am having clearance problems with my freewheel. My problem is that when I run my cranks with a bashring my freewheel is touching my BB cup. However when I remove the bash it clears no problems. This is my set up GU cranks Try-all 108.9 freewheel Echo HIFI frame Truvativ gigapipe BB with 128mm axle Neon bashring I have been told that because the bb is using a spacer to make it fit the BB shell, that I need a BB that is 68mm specific. I have just ordered a viz BB. Will this help or have I just wasted my money?
  15. Yeah mate I seen the thread, hopefully I can make it, but I will let you know on here. Thanks again.
  16. yeah i will give that a try, does no one mind you taking your bike on the train though. you will have to excuse my ignorance i normally just drive everywhere
  17. My closest train station is shrewsbury and I would have to pay to park there as well so paying to park aint really an issue.
  18. It is gona cost quite a bit if you are wanting decent components, certainly around 400 quid. i suggest it would be better for you to look on ebay and just buy a complete bike second hand, and try to sell your frame on there as well. You can pick up a decent bike for around 200 quid. hope this helps
  19. In the next couple of weekends or so depending on work, I'm in the army and they tend to spring things on you at the last minute.
  20. Nice one mate cheers I would be driving in though is there plenty of places to park
  21. yeah could do Birmingham but i dont know my way around there so would probably end up getting lost
  22. FOR OTACON Yeah mate I am pretty new to the trials scene in england i will give you a shout next weekend if you are going to be out cheers
  23. just out of interest what do you do with the bikes that you buy
