  1. How much chain wrap have you got on your rear sprocket and how tight is the chain??
  2. Just feels weird when I'm getting my balance and hopping the front about. Not gonna be a desperate purchase, the frame will hopefully go first but deffo on the list!
  3. That sounds like it could be the one then, kinell, another purchase to convince the wife I need!
  4. I bought some urban forks off here for my stock and they are what I assume is the older type as they have an echo sticker at the bottom of each fork as opposed to the E logo at the top like on my urbans on my mod. The thing is they feel like they flex a lot when I apply the front brake or hop about on the spot and I'm not sure whether this is normal, if its cause they are the older type and are made of bike cheese or simply that I've been riding my mod too much which has shorter therefore sturdier forks. Or could it be none of the above and simply be something to do with the wanky front mono mini?? I can get a vid up if required??
  5. I wouldn't worry about that matey, I vary between 13 ½ and 14 ½ stone and I use an echo TR on my stock. Definately a hope on the front though if there's no probs with the budget, plus when you generally buy a hope hub you never have to buy one again as their guarantees are unbelievable! And if your just getting into cycle trials (even coming from moto) I'd advise something that will take a few bashes in terms of rims, maybe an echo urban rear as I've heard they're quite strong.
  6. I'd try and get hold of a zoo python frame to build up if your after a 20" side project. I built one myself as a side project to my 26 and I love it, a bit too much to be honest!
  7. We NEED one of these in the north!! Good pics mehewd!
  8. Oh yes, this is like a 20-25 min drive from my front door. May try for a bod out there in the near future, give us a shout next time your going and I'll join you!
  9. Will give that a try this week as got to free the pistons off on my mono trial as well! Would love just 1 week where 1 of my bikes worked perfectly!
  10. My mono mini on my stock has suddenly decided to go crap, at least I think it has! It's the 180mm version (not sure if there's different ones or not) and up until recently it was working really well, but when I built my mod up about 2-3 months ago the stock lost favour with me, especially as I wanted to change all the front end before riding it again and since building it back up the brake is useless. It just has no stopping power whatsoever so I need some advice, do I; A) Bleed it and see how it goes after that Get a new rotor to use as the 180mm wavey disc I got off ebay for my mod is awesome although that is using a mono trial C) New pads (anyone know any good trials pads for a mono mini??) D) Sell it and get a mono trial off here or ebay as a replacement E) Buy a new mono trial caliper and use the lever off the mini Bearing in mind I'm a bit short of cash at the moment so I dont want to end up buying a new rotor and pads to find it's still terrible, and to be honest it could have been running this bad before but the mono trial on my mod is so good I may only just have realised!
  11. Hiya mate, camera records in .mov files for the HD but it also records in lower quality for quick upload to youtube but not sure what format that is as I haven't used it!

  12. Aye, not sure if they're a tarty own brand thing or not
  13. Found here http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10541&category_id=57 TAXI!!!!
  14. This little bad boy, perfect for chucking in my pocket when I'm out riding! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kodak-Zx1-Definition-Pocket-Camera/dp/B001SN72TK
  15. 3 small vids of me riding this last week Won't show the last vid, kinell!!
  16. God dammit Chinnery your speed of improvement depresses me!
  17. Right, first disconnect the phone and turn it off then on again, close down spirit and open itunes. Make sure itunes isn't set to run automatically when your phone is connected and close it down. Run spirit in windows 95 compatability mode. Connect phone, wait for it to show up on spirit then try again. Let me know how you get on!
  18. PM'd!! Oh yeah forgot to add, make sure you set itunes up not to automatically update your phone in future!!
  19. Confused??!! It has vertical dropouts and a mech hanger, so the mech hanger would be used to attach a chain tensioner.
  20. They are quite cheap indeed, 09 Echo Pure for £157 plus postage! May get saving!!
  21. You have to acces your router via your laptop/pc to open said ports or do it via your firewall. If you google how to do it with the name of your router/firewall you should be able to find instructions on it.
