I used to ride plymouth about 7 years ago. Many night rides in and around the chess boards. O so good!
-
Personally i dont think it will make anyone a better rider. No need to replace a frame untill its snapped in half
-
Hope mods don't mind me posting this here but does anyone fancy a ride in yarmouth anytime soon? I did a 10K run there last year and spotted all sorts of good trials spots to hit. Any locals on here from that neck of the woods?
-
I dont understand why people run disc brakes for trials riding? I dont think they would last a day on mine front or back and ime not exactly good (or bad which ever way you look at it)
-
if you have your bars higher it makes alot of difference. higher rise stem or longer forks with stem spacers. i couldnt pull the front up properly when i changed frames untill i got some new forks that raised the bar height up 2".

Can some members please validate my account so I can post in rides/locations section? This is the most ridicules forum rule I have ever come across???

hi, its a 26". i made a sleeve with a step which sits in the tube, tig welded round then ground the weld off. will do for now lol. ide be suprised if it snapped.
reason i have big front tyre is because ime abit of an old school rider. when i rode trials properly i was about 18 so 8 years ago now lol. not really into little tech stuff so my bikes have always been heavier but strong ish. quite like to burn down the odd set of woods aswell from time to time which alot of people probibly think is abit gay but what can i say

Hi,
I have recently brought a 05 Onza T-Rex to get back into trials an I have come to a dead end with the cranks.
I have tried an external B/B set but a 22tooth chain ring does not line up (not unless I want I section missing from my frame lol)
I believe this is due to the chainstay yokes being wider than most bikes I've seen, has anyone come acoss this before an could you recommend cranks to fit.
many thanks
Rich
hi mate, i had to machine down the bolt holes on the crank arm to sit the chainring out further, only clears by a mm or so but hey

what forks are any good these days? not to bothered about weight. just wont them to be bomb proof and able to fit fairly big tyres 2.4 upwards and pref with 4 bolt hydraulic mountings which is why i was looking at more onza's?
going to turn up an extention for the mean time with a sleeve so atleast there shouldnt be any issues with sheer preesure so they "shudnt" snap lol
-
pants! anyone got some onza forks for sale, seen a few sets on fleebay but always abit skeptical of it. cant post anywhere else on the site yet so sorry if ime breaking any forums rules here
-
i had a bit of a retard moment today and cut my forks down without the stem on so they are about 2" short
welded it back up but dont really trust them, is it possible to get the head tube on the forks replaced? how are they held in?

-
any chance people can do what they need to do so i can post elsewhere on the site as this thread has basically been moved to rides/locations???

got a headset online from the shop i bought my frame. had to machine down part of my crankarm at work today to sit the chain ring further away from the frame. cut the bashring down to fit so now clears and is mounted on the outside of the spider, thanks for the info though. will take a look in manderin for sure
-
anyone no where i can get a head set and possibly a chain ring from in or around norwich as i dont no the city all that well. got another onza frame yesterday but headset setup is all different to my current one as seems to have cups already as part of the frame so the bearings dont fit properly. chain ring mgt be abit big aswell for new rear sproket so need one smaller
