  1. i would say if your going to have dual disk then get a ns bikes trail master http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=45964 only weigh 500g. But in answer to your question i would say sun rims because there lighter, thats the only real difference in them. chris
  2. neathier have i so unless some one knows places to go the we will be riding round like loss sheep lol. chris
  3. have a look in the for sale section and if you something you like go onto the sellers profile and send them a email. saturday would probably be better for me but it i think i need a helmet first lol.
  4. this isnt an advertising forum. go advertise it in the correct place. You wouldnt even use it for trials.
  5. a little village with nothing to ride on except for whats in the video. Near swindon so if you live in that area we could meat up for a ride or something sometime.
  6. theres some good places i think by the train station, around there. havnt rode there but been past there and seen some things that could be good. whats people doing next weekend ?
  7. oh ye, sorry forgot about the link. Ye i need a helmet. chis
  8. thats next on my list, got to get my back brake sorted because i broke the lever so i was using disk temporeraly. chris
  9. i have already posted this in the new members chat but just got validated so i am going to post it in the correct plase. been riding for 9 weeks and this is my first video of more to come i hop depending on what everyone thinks. Please dont tell me i need a helmet because i know, im buying one asap. ENJOY!!!! chris
  10. ye, i have rode basicly everything in the past, did dirt jump and a bit of down hill to start with, then started bmxing a couple of years ago and now started trials so i can do a bit of everything wich is prety good. Thanks for you good comments and thanks for validating me, been waiting for ages will now go post this in the proper video forum.
  11. ye i know, i need to get one and even im saying that. will invest in one asap.
  12. dont exspect anything amazing because i have only been doing trials for 9 weeks and im 14 but tell me what you think and ways to improve. chris
  13. try 180 endoes, then maybe add in a 180 back hop. try droping off walls back wheel first. have a look atmy video and see what you like and try them if you cant already do them. Iv been riding for 9 weeks so not that long so you might be able to do the tricks. chris
  14. im having trouble with these aswell but i find that if you learn to back hop higher it helps alot. learnt on a bank, i found a steap banks and then see how high i could hop up it and then fakied back down it so you learn or improve on two things at once and you dont end up getting flats ot denting your rim.
  15. i live near swindon and would be up for a ride some time, im not amazing eaither but will be fun, havmnt been on a ride yet as i have onlybeen riding for 9 weeks.
  16. just made a video and edited it, trying to fing music but when i have found it it will be on youtube and i will put up a link.
  17. there will be more than just drops, dont worry lol i use ti do bmxin so i can manual prety well, 180, 360, all that jazz lol
  18. thanks, imhoping to make a video soon butits just finding a cam corder and a day when my freind is free. will try get one made this week. for the helmet, i NEED one. i was thinking i need one for a while but now i have found out i can do these bigger drops i think i might need one. will get one from my local shop asap. thanks for the good comments. chris
  19. im 14 and went out today feeling a bit chalenging and thought i would try some bigger drops and in my village there are some about 2ft drops and then 4ft so theres not realy anything inbetwen so i decided to go for it, got my bike up and i was bricking it as the wall was about 20cm wide and 4.5ft high, had to drop off sideways wich made it even worse because i had to go back wheel first and then hop off my front wheel. did it perfect first time and then hoped off a 5ft wall normaly and that was all good aswell. got my eye on a wall thats about 5.5-6 ft high. amazing how much progress you can make in just one day walst riding on your own. is this good for some one who has been doing trials since late january ? chris
  20. how long you been riding ? if not that long then i would say good but if for a long time i would say bad but everytone has to start somewere. try running a harder tyre pressure then you wont have to be so smooth and you can concerntrate on what your doing more and then when you feel comftable then try be a bit smoother, harder pressures may make you smoother anyway because you have to absorb the pressure from the drop more. Try puting it up to 25 or 30, just to stop you from making a flat spot in the rim or dent (like i did, now run 40psi on a 24", perfect ) chris
  21. Thats what im worried about, if i sell it is there much point because if i wont get much then im looking to get a new frame with maggy mounts on in the future so if i wouldnt get much i would keep it and use it for that. What kind of price range are you thinking as not much ?
  22. hi got a maggy, has a right hand lever but on the lever has a chunk missing so you cant do up the screrw t bleed it so would need a new lever but i got some evo 1 adapters, new heat sink coust pads ( cost me £20), hoses and calipers, could use the lever blade aswell. yours if you want it, make me a offer.

  23. i have a ashton effect with the old evo adapters on the back and there a pain to setup, went to water bleed my brake today and water kept leeking out of the hole where you take out the screw out to bleed it on the lever and did it up to tight and the metal and threads around it snaped so there is a chunk missing out of the lever but the calipers, hose,lever and internal are all fine. its a 04 model with a hose lengthe for the back but a right hand lever but i just fliped the lever over the other wy to put it on the left hand. how much do you think i would get for it all, hole brake with chunk from the lever, old evo adapter kit and a bodge evo adapter booster ? chris
  24. ye kinda wish that i did keep it but the past is the past. Got my maggy working good now, i got some heatsink pads on it but thers quit a bit of flex but im guesing you can put a normal booster on them, if not please correct me if im wrong. chris
