Any actual recommendations?

My camlink tripod is pretty buggered so I'm looking for a new one. I want one which is pretty solid but not too heavy for carrying around in my bag, also one with a smooth pan. I don't want anything really expensive just a good quality one.

This should be in the new members chat. They are for mounting chain tensioners on trials bike or derailleurs for mountain bikes. Its made out of weaker metal than your frame so that snaps before your frame if you knock it.

That was some really smooth riding, is that brimham rocks as in amazing climbing/bouldering place?

They look like emu's to me.

Really smooth riding and could that place be anymore perfect, looks so fun.

Nice bike, how are you finding the holyroller on a compy bike or do you not ride it like that and what happened to the zoot.

I don't know how many times I've watched it now its just such a great blend of brakeless and braked riding, did anyone else notice that Danny had a bodged derailleur chain tensioner?

It might be the search engines we are using.

It happened to mine aswell, and if I go on to other peoples profiles its does the same, tomturd said it was something to do with him changing the times on here and it would be back in an hour but that was the other day.

I had a good ride, didn't fall off on any big lines but went over the bars on a little rock about the size of a tennis ball

Oh yeh just saw that, they are such a good band. All of their songs go well with riding videos.

just watching it now, is the first from the Black Keys?

Was just about to put that, how could that even of happened with out smashing the threads they don't looked damaged at all.

Don't worry there are some younger riders who just want to ride their bikes and not argue like some tools do and who have a passion for the sport like you older guys. I don't really see the point in this thread really can we not just leave it at, we all ride different styles of riding so can't we just get on with it, you can't really define what a trials rider is because there are so many different styles as mentioned earlier in the thread, Kenny Belaey is a good example of a rider at the top level of comp trials but he still rides a 24 inch like a experienced smooth manualing street rider. Your still classed as a Mountain biker if you ride XC, Freeride, Downhill, dirt jumping and 4X so why can't people who ride street trials, TGS, comps and natural be classed as Trials Riders?

Man U players aren't footballers anyway they are scum . But you cannot say that people like Ali or anyone else who rides street aren't proper Trials riders its just dumb.

Chris Akrigg!

The quality wasn't that bad on vimeo, that manual on the rail looked so smooth. The song went great with it aswell, did anyone else get a BMXy type vibe from this?

I wouldn't go for a 2.1 crossmark ,my friend had a 2.1 they are pretty bad in the wet and don't offer much grip on mud it doesn't really go well with such a knobberly tyre like the Minion FR, a wider one would be better though 2.25 is just about perfect for the rear you'll just have to watch the back end on loose stuff and the sidewalls are also quite thin that sounds abit negative but they are amazing uphill because of the line hard of hard rubber in the centre of the tyre.
