  1. I've got trialtech risers, and I think they're awesome. It's down to preference, however - I've found most people do prefer riser bars especially on a 20" bike.

  2. It's kind of a weird question. Progression is about practise, practise, commitment and did I mention practise? Watch a lot of videos on technique, get your bike, go outside your house and practise basics until you've got them without thinking. Trackstands - being holding your bike upright, still on both wheels, mastering the basics is the primary thing that leads to progression.

  3. The mounts obviously aren't clamping the magura cylinders properly. This could be due to

    1. Bolts are too long. (Try 5mm shorter bolts)

    2. Clamps are touching, bent or damaged. (File clamps so they don't touch or replace)

    3. Plastic adjusting rings are squashed. (Replace)

    New bolts, are the standard ones always that little bit long then? I shall cut these new ones down tomorrow, I do believe they're bottoming out.

  4. The Tensile booster come with stupidly long bolts. I had to use the bolts that came with my Echo booster.

    They are the original bolts, brakes have been bled. Tensile clamps and the plastic things are split. I could try get some shorter bolts.

  5. Hello chaps, slight problem with my back maggy. Just put a booster on positioned my brakes to the rim, Threadlocked, tightened a fair bit, anymore maybe snap my hex key, go out for a bit of a ride, first drop or jump up something, brake moves. I've repeated the above process maybe 3 times? any advice on correcting this issue would be hugely appreciated. Peace.

  6. It'll take some getting used to, and you'd need to set it up for yourself properly, but I think ultimately you'd be more comfortable!

    Well I am 6ft 2 :/ So I guess so, I just love the idea of a 20" I think.

  7. Awesome, mate. As said though, I think you'd suit a stock better. As for the wheelswap, when you pull up, lean back fairly fast after to stop yourself going over the front like in the vid.

    You really think so? I feel odd on a stock haha.

  8. Whats wrong with the brake lol? Yeah I'm massive compared to the bike. Helmet: I need one I know, I don't know where mine has gone.

    3 WEEKS !!!!! :blink:

    bike looks a little small for you ;)

    Maybe have a go on a bigger bike to see what you think.

    What about 3 weeks? ;p

  9. Basically just messing around on the bench, and to those guys who said hopping up a bench after like 3 weeks of riding was a bit "wtf" in their terms, well this is exactly what I meant. You'll see on the 3rd attempt I try to wheel transfer up to the top, I think I'm just being a complete pussy but some advice wouldn't go a miss, cheers.
