I'm sure you technically only own half that sprocket as you only own half your bike?

no I mean a dead grind

there's nothing wrong with using tar, but don't expect your brake to work in the rain, the best thing you could do is a grind with tar on top, and you won't have to grind so often. it's up to you really, it is a must when using smooth rims really.

yes all the time especially in the thighs which is the most painful of cramps, I even get it while brushing my teeth in the evening after a ride, the best way to prevent cramp is by drinking, lots, I find 3 pints of water helps. also salt can be a contributing factor so maybe some food with high salt content will help. once you have cramp the best thing to do is stretch the muscle and rub the muscle (using a lot of pressure while doing so.) then once the pain has left make sure the muscle is not raised in the air (for limbs). I hope this helps, just stay hydrated and you should be fine.

mmmm :/ i think i''ll give them a ring first but you've got a point

Hi guys , yesterday i have found that two spokes have snapped by the hub so i'm in need of 2 new ones with or without nipples, i have looked on tarty and it says £10.24 for the quantity of one, i do not understand this as i only need 2 spokes so will i be charged £10.24? , if tarty do not sell in low quantities where can i buy spokes from? the spokes will be for my 20" front wheel which is a echo urban wheel, so echo urban rim & echo urban hub, so do any of you know which length i will need? thanks in advance

ah I thought it was pretty popular frame, I've seen quite a few right I had a quick go, this is what I came up with (all new) Frame and Forks - Frame: Onza Comp 2010 - £159.99 rocknroll 241.69 Forks: Echo SL 81.70 Wheels rear TT race £45.95 100.94 onza hog £54.99 - Rim tape: no make £3 - Inner tube (front): trago £1.60 - Inner tube (rear): trago £1.60 - Front tyre: kenda small block 8 £12.50 39.19 - Rear tyre: echo £20.43 Brakes - Front brake lever: bb7 10 £54.99 - Rear brake: Magura HS33, Black, short lever blade £60.26 127.25 - Brake clamps: Magura HS33 £12 - Brake pads: heatsink yellows £18 18 Drivetrain - Cranks: TT isis £51.06 - Freewheel: Echo SL £61.28 - Chain: KMC Lite Z610 £11.95 197.19 - Rear Sprocket: because £12.26 - Pedals: DMR v8 £21.69 - Bottom bracket: FSA platinum isis £23.95 - Bashplate: Onza £15 Steering - Headset: FSA Orbit XL II £16.95 - Stem: bonz £25.53 86.22 - Grips:trialtech £8 - Handlebars: tensile 9D £35.74 total: 810.48 tarty £867 as you can see spec is almost the same slightly better in places slightly worse, though it was worth a try , I was thinking about my bike when i said better spec, I didn't take into account, the free magura i got, second hand forks handle bars and cranks. I'm surprised about the outcome of my little research, you boys do very well at keeping the prices down, and any extra cost would be made up for buy you costumer service and experience anyhow, i'm impressed

well my bike is better spec with comp frame cost me around 800 but I never said all the parts would be new i'm happy to be proved wrong. i didn't realise it was discontinued,why's that? just a new design i guess?

ah right well i've re installed java and removed old versions , java is working but i still can't see the map on your website ...oh i didn't realise they were better, how are they better just speed ?.....i'm gunna get google chrome now EDIT: just installed google chrome, thanks for the tip, it's a hell of a lot faster...been on your site and the map is now showing up so it may well be a problem with IE...added some spots made a profile etc, so far i'm impressed looks really easy to use and will be very useful!

you've got so much better in this then your last vide, massive gaps and massive gap to fronts, could have done with a replay of the first gap to front as it looked so good yet was over to quick, and the vid was far to short for my liking, loved every second of it. and you can ride on rails so smooth!

I'm using internet explorer, i think it maybe just me not doing certain settings,according to java you go "tools - internet option - enable java" yet there is no enable java for me, i shall try and download/re install java now

five ten free rides, on tarty they were discounted when i got them a month or so back

definately, tarty have got the trials bike market sewn up

i can't seem to get java going for some reason I shall try though this site looks really good oh, i ride with matt sometimes, however i've never heard of those two! minions is amazing, must have been great living close enough to go there each weekend....it's a shame you don't ride anymore , would have been good to have/keep another rider in the southwest...Good luck with your new job I wish you all the best!

no but by shopping around getting parts you'll be able to get a better spec for less or equal amount

well done gary , i watched the vids of monday and tuesday and that looked so tough!

I can't see the map is it because i need some java thing? if so can you link to where i can download it, site looks good and do you ride , because there's quite a few of us that ride and live near to liskeard and i've never heard nor seen you ?

I'm in the same position as rich except i can't drive, and probably wouldn't go that far for a couple od days riding, but if i did i'd get to the nearest train station and be stuck there, yet if you got a bus that went back and forth (or within an ordinary bus route (but then again you can't take a bike on a bus) then i could get the train but maybe a bus is a bit to far fetched as you say with the few numbers that ride there :/ and also if i did camp as rich said showers and toilet (but then i'd have to take my tent and food with me on the train wich could be a pain in the arse)......however if i was near essex for a week end maybe i'd go to barrow, yet maybe a map link on there website would be good so i could find it?

HELP

a)tight are warm b )they stop you getting cramp c) they hug your body, unlike normal clothing there for less rubbing and less getting caught on bike d)the hugging makes riding more comfortable e)they're light all these points can improve riding especially in the cold yes as kydd says where shorts, tights are ment to be a base layer or under tights i.e you wear something over the top(shorts) amazing riding though , you've got so much control on the bike! well done

do it i filmed myself since i started pretty much and although no body watches the vids i do and it's good to look back on yourself

anyone?
