  1. Quick question from a novice. Is it possible to attach a disc brake to a set of forks that don't have a disc mount? Basically is there some sort of clamp available to allows fitment? If so any likes to the product would be great. Cheers
  2. Dislocated ankle and broken leg. Ankle was facing 180 degrees the wrong way...that hurt a bit!
  3. I've got an Avid SD5 with Heatsink pads on the back, would the same brake be suitable for the front or are there better alternatives? I'm fairly new to trials, but can a V be routed so that moves like tail whips can be carried out or not?
  4. I've been offered two front Hope brakes by someone I work with, the first is a Mono 6TI with a 185mm rotor and the second is a M4 with 205mm rotor. Obviously the 6 pot will be more powerful than the 4 pot, but which would people go for for trials? Both brakes are used but fully working. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks for your help.
  5. Thanks for the replies. Had figured a 26" would probably suit me better. Have a budget of about £500 for the initial outlay so thinking of buying second hand and then maybe upgrading bits and pieces as I get more experience. Any advice on what to get/look for/what would suit someone my size would be much appreciated.
  6. Just thinking about getting into Trials after seeing a Danny MacAskill video on YouTube. Was wondering what bike people would recommend. I'm looking at a Koxx Vinco pro, a danny holroyd signature bike and an onza zona zenith that I've seen for sale. Are any of these bikes any good. I'm 6'1" and weigh nearly 15stone so do I need a longer frame? Cheers for the advice
