  2. Shoes

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    1. What shoes do you wear when riding?

    Globe Vices

    2. How long would you say they last?

    Had them a year, still no rips

    3. Whats the ankle support like/is there any?

    None

    4. Soles: grippy or not that grippy?

    Grippy

    But my riding style is more street than trials but they are just shoes.

  5. 10Mm In A 14Mm Dropout

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    At the moment, im having to run a rear 10mm axle in a 14mm dropout. I've got some chaintugs running on it as well until i find some 10mm > 14mm conversion bolts. Anyone think i'll have/cause problems in the short term? Week or so until i get the conversion bolts.

  7. Maggie Evo2 Adaptor Kit

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Basically, im riding round on a commencal max max frame atm because i love it but i was wondering if they Evo2 set would fit my v-brake stanchions. Main concern is that my frame is basically a DJ frame and my wheels are no where near chunky for my maggies to work on my Onza frame and these same wheels are on my commencal.

    Any thoughts/have measurements anyone?

  8. Trials......park!

    f**k off?

    +1

    Since when did trials riders become so arsey facey about what people can ride?

    I ride park almost every week as well as riding trials because its fun. Also, i use my park bike for my trials riding because its fun. (Note : Apologies to the fun police/retards who will hate park riding being mentioned in the same sentence as trials.)

    LOL i just dont see how you can come onto a post a slate a guy for having fun on his bike? Trials is what you make it like someone said and don't get mad at the people who judge it/you otherwise, just pity their close-mindedness.

    So we come back to the old mantra of "If you got nothing nice to say, then fu*k off!"

    Great pics though mate!

  9. Frustrating Sidehop Practice

    in Videos

    Posted

    I absolutely had practicing sidehops. I sidehop to my forward foot, when I miss a sidehop I land on my chainstay very hard. Im too scared of damaging my bike to put full dedication into the move.

    I know most people on here <3 their bike, and yes they do cost a fair bit but they are meant to get knocked around. How you going to get better if you dont put your all into it? You can always get a new frame....

  14. Chain Clunking

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Had a little problem on a test ride of my new (old but much modified rig). I have horizontal drop-outs and running SS without tensioner. What seemed to happen is when i backpedal (i think its just when i backpedal) the chain partially comes off the rear sprocket and clunks back down. I've aligned the wheels and im hoping that it will be sorted. Will chain tugs be an end to this do you think?

    Cheers

    I might be around Sefton / Huyton way sometime soon.

    Also any dates for Manchester ride? Dont know whether im working/not working/busy?

    Whats the riding like near Barrow GU? My parents have a house in Frizington (20 minutes from Whitehaven) but never bothered to take my bike up because it's a little chavvy up that way.

  18. Fork Help

    Is the actual inside of the steerer tube threaded or is it a star nut.

    if it is threaded inside you could cut it and just rethread it

    if it is a star nut just cut it and buy a new star nut

    yeah it will need a re-thread. i would star nut it but its too narrow to fit one in.

    where would i go for re-thread?

    Just a quick post to see if anyone has any advice on my problem. Got some Onza Smart Guys but the steerer tube is way to long so needs to be cut down. But the internal thread for the headset doesnt go down far enough. My Hope Hed Doctors are too fat to fit in so i'm at a bit of a loss

    Thanks

    Managed to put a hole in the casing of my old one.

    So wat one do you lot recomend?

    Ive just got the Neon BB from tarty's (think its £44.00). Was an absolute ball-ache to get into my old hitman but works a treat!

  23. What Cranks ?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by vongar_kuu

    Middleburns all the way

    Good points

    Durable, strong, good weight. Basically anything good you can think about cranks you can put here

    Bad points

    May side on the expensive side if your on a tight budget but its more than worth it. Also you can get bargains on here.

    No contention really. Just go get some 'burns!!!

    I'd go for echo purely on the fact that my mate rode Echo and had good appraisals about their durability...

  25. Good Advice Needed

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Nah, the good thing is im keeping my commencal (i trust it like a mother) so ill still be riding street on my stock commy. It's just that its limited in terms of trialsy things (which i like) so whether i get a mod or stock, im still riding my commy. Hence the mod or stock question.

    If you ride in a streety style and don't want to just do static moves then why a GU?

    I crave the trialsy things that a streety bike cant solve. I'll still be riding street (primarily even) but i intend to fill out some hours with some static moves as well (and it looks niiiiiiiiiiice)
