Liked that looks a nice little spot, was some moneys worth there in bikes lol

My idea came from the guy that got knocked off his bike, what about a cool and more fashionable high viz jacket/ coat made from a special material like you said you wanted it to be, and put a twist on it like reversable so high viz for night and normal for day. But I also thought jip off arms for summer.

Well he is on about grinding rims but true they work well on a smooth rim just not on a grinded rim with tar

Dont put tar on if you have heatsink yellows makes the brake alot worse.

Nothing special, me just doing a gap

After getting back in to trials about a month ago, I bought a bike but there was a few changes I wanted to make. I have now made them and the bike rides well and looks amazing here is the spec and pics. GU st frame GU disk only forks M:Part sport headset Monty kamel carbon finish stem Monty 221 kamel risers Adamant GOLD cranks Try-All 108 freewheel Salt bmx pedals Front wheel: Monty 221 front disk hub, Monty kamel rim, Maxxis creepy crawler tyre Rear wheel: Monty 221 Ti disk hub, Echo sl 2012 rim, Maxxis creepy crawler tyre Front breke: Hope mono mini 160mm Rear brake: Hope mono mini 160mm

This bike looks good and rides nice all it needs is some CNC tnn's or heatsinks and its perfect

I thought punny gap before you even tried it lol then it happened.

Have better ballance Be able to side hop 6 pallets Gap better of smaller objects Do the lincoln gravestone gap! Do gaps to front just improve my rideing

Will try the heat thing 1st as I snapped the vice last time i tried getting 1 off lol

I have decided to buy some new cranks as the ones I have are f**ked. But I want to save money and remove the freewheel and put it on new cranks. I have noticed now after looking that the tensile freewheel has a different adapter needed to get it off to most other ones, so i have a few questions. Where can i get a tool from to take it off? As it needs a different tool is it harder to get off? Whats the chances of it braking when takeing it off?

did you plan where the nearest steps were to get out the river for if you did go plop? Or you just think you would make it and not worrie.

Ordered some new cranks of tarty today, but it came up witha order issue after payment and gave me a ref number and to call them. Looking at there open hours there not open again till the 27th do I have to wait till then to sort it out or is there another way?

Picked up my new bike today havent had chance to ride it yet because of the weather lol, want to make a few changes, new pedals and new cranks then it will be done. Pics arnt the best but will do for now, heres the spec. GU st frame GU disk only forks M:Part sport headset Monty kamel carbon finish stem Monty 221 kamel risers Monty karmel 221 cranks (changeing ) Tensile 60 click freewheel Plastic pedals!

I have just got back in to trials and have bought a zoo python 07 trouble is i dont know too much about it, I would like to know. What geo a zoo python 07 frame has? How much zoo mod forks weigh? What engagement does a mod zoo rear free hub have?

what size stem the 165mm or 180?

I have just got back in to trials after 2 years out, I picked up my new bike today but the front end feels abit low, my current set up is a zoo python 07 frame, zoo forks with 2 large spacers to a echo stem 165mm by 25 and zoo bars. Would i be better getting some riser bars or a taller stem, or both?

Bassicly I have started and stopped trials rinding about 4 times in the last 5 years, but my last gap has been just over 2 years. A lot of things seem to have stayed the same, but bike values seem to be less then i remember. As i am considering getting a bike again and have found one I like, I am unsure on the value and what its woth. So i would like people that have been riding the last 2 years to tell me what they think its worth. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zoo-Python-Trials-Bike-/160936801625?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D4124101656885842644%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D160936801625%26 I did txt the guy and offer him £280 and he said he would take it, but is that a good price or abit to much?

V pads when in are solid and wont move at all as they are solid with them they will have a bit of movement and wouldn't feel as solid. ( correct me if am wrong ) on the plus if you had a maggy and changed to V it would be cheeper than buying new pads.

ive ran both and its down to pads to be honest i fount the tnn green pads to be good on smooth with a tad of tar as good as the same pads on a medium grind.

bloody hell his gaps to front and balance is better than mine lol puts me and am sure many others to shame like the vid but as said alrealy music pants.

People are saying they didnt like the vid, but thers alot of protensial in him and it will be good to watch vids of him improving as time goes on, which is what i like more then just seeing a finished product.

not a fan of the bike, but i will have t get 1 of them bells for mine

Am not sure, just let me know when your off and if am not working or with the misses i will come

Here is a few pics of me from my ride tonight with the lads in Lincoln,. My first propper ride since i quit a year ago, enjoyed it
