I got some Kona shorts and some Shimano DX's for my XC bike Plus i got a diabolo, it's well addictive seeing as i can't go on my bike because of the ice.

Well i suppose it should do since its smaller, but it would depend on what parts you have etc I'm sure that theres a lot of stocks/24" that are lighter than mods. For example, a completely stock onza bird or whatever would weigh a lot more than a custom stock with carbon, ti parts and drilled rims and so forth. Hope ive helped, anyone correct me if i'm wrong

Thanks for the idea, that actually looks quite professional, do you work with fibre glass? i've sorted out a piece of old tyre so im good now. But if i ever need to do it again i might give that a go Thanks alot everyone

Aww just missed out on reply 1000 Anyway.. Hi im Tom, i just got into trials after a long time riding XC and BMX which i will continue to do, still waiting for my first real trials bike, should be soon though. I also enjoy mountain biking excessively, swimming (for my local club) and restoring my grandads 1968 Volkswagen Beetle with him, man i wish i could drive Thanks Tom

I'm not bothered about scratches, i'm bothered about cracking my frame or putting a massive dent in it. I just don't have the money to replace it at the moment. I'll look into those toxsin things. Thanks alot everyone

The only problem with riding by yourself is if you really hurt yourself. Not trials, but my mate skateboards and he broke his leg, he was led there for an hour until someone walked past him. But i have since forced him to buy a trials bike which he loves so im good now

Yeah a tyre would be alright i think, i'll try it, thanks for the tip Where do they sell downtube protectors? i've never seen them before, are they just like big lizard skins?

I wear football ones too, i quite like them. The ankle protection is good and they only cost like £3 for a cheap pair. This is why i love trials, i used to ride BMX and if i even brought up the subject of wearing shinpads id get ripped to shreds When will they learn?

I know a bashplate is to protect your sprocket and chain etc, but i keep hitting the bit above it on the frame i have a coke can cable tied to it, but that doesnt really help. Is their anything else i could buy thats designed to do that job, or something that would look a bit better? Is it just me who has this problem? Thanks
