THAT WAS THE BIGGEST BUNNY HOP EVER!!!!! AND WHEN YOU PULLED IT TO THE BIN!!! wow. that was a pretty imaginative idea though, I like.

yeah, as above....make sure it's not your pedals! could also be your chain?

we all make mistakes marty!

ha, how can he even argue, he jumped over the tape but then, i'd argue!

finished my video, not going to upload it till Sunday mind, just in-case I get some clips on the Saturday. cannot believe how little I've ridden this summer and it's mainly because of rain, I need to move to Spain!

Yeah that's a good way of doing it, there's tonnes of variations and different ways of bleeding/topping up a Magura. I just made a video for this one as the majority of people won't have or won't want to buy a syringe etc. and it's perfect for mid-ride troubles. edit: and thanks for the feedback

managed to almost get this dialled this evening did it 10/15 attempts or so. I was trying to take off to far back and involve a bit to much technique and kick, I found you sort of ride towards the object like you were going to back wheel but a bit slower and jam on your front brake and push your front wheel into the corner of the object and lean all the way forward. EDIT: but to answer your question, i find a powerful front brake is essential.!

What about getting rid of the beginners trials chat and making a "How to & help" section where all the best "how to" posts are pinned to the top and any other questions people have will be posted below?

It was cool, bit too trippy for my liking but, loving the wall ride/sideways gap combination and the 360 endo into drop!

haha, yeah Sounds good! I shall film it now and will be uploaded by tomorrow I hope

Upate: new video added, see second post.

sounds like a plan! cheers New video tutorial up

thanks dude!

As previously said, for a starter bike it's okay, you're definitely better off not spending much money until you're certain you want to ride trials and it won't be a waste of money. In my opinion first, I'd buy some new rear brake pads (if needed) and possibly new front brake (depending on how well they work well) then I'd consider changing your bars followed by forks followed by frame. The wheels, look gokay from the picture, and the rear brake is perfect even for pro riders as it's a magura rim brake. However a complete better second hand bike might be a better choice for you. For other Part recommendations check out my new site with the following link www.trials-expert.co.uk

Buckled rims are easily solvable. all you need it a spoke key/tool. Which ever way the rim is buckled you want to tighten the spoke nipples on the opposite side of the rim and loosen the spoke nipples on the side it's buckled. remember, when using a spoke key you're essentially looking at the nipple upside down, so turn it anti-clockwise to tighten and clockwise to loosen. However if you are on about dented rims use this.. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Tech-Tuesday-Fixing-Rim-Dents-2012.html dependant on how big the dent is, you can fix them. but you may be better off leaving the dent if there isn't much life left in the rim as to prevent further damage.

thanks for that dude, I've already bought the domain names so that's all good, and I don't particularly mind paying. all the tutorials etc.. are all going to be mine and no one else is posting on the site, so that's dandy. I've been looking at using 123-reg website builder & hosting . but I'll take a look at I-web etc.. the about me page i though i'd make it more personal so they actually know how long i've been riding etc. but i'll have another look thanks a lot for the feedback and help much appreciated

I'm going to try make as many tutorials with the stuff I've got first, but that's a good idea! I will get round to it thanks

I'm using google sites at the moment. I need to change host I think. so that the actual URL becomes www.trials-expert.co.uk because google.sites won't let you do this. any ideas where/how i could do this? thanks, liam

Any 5.10s, i have line kings and they're great, better than ribos. my old free riders were great but, the sole was glued on separately (not moulded so they were much weaker.) but they've changed the design on the new ones.

A have this problem all the time and so does a friend of mine. I managed to sort it on my bike, It may be the bars. especially on painted bars (like my viz 720s) the clamp can make creaking noises as it's clamping on to paint that's falling off.remove any paint around the clamp area, i just used a Stanley knife. This solved my clicking last time (I had rolled my bars forward, and shortly after clicking started.) Secondly, it may be your headset. Take your headset apart, clean it all up with a bit of kitchen roll and lather it all in grease, i used thick marine grease, then put it all back together in the correct order. (as follows) Topcap Top bearing cover Compression ring top bearing top cup bottom cup bottom bearing crown race (already on forks) then tighten it all back up. Finally it may be the clamping points on your steerer tube or handlebars, covered in oil/greasey stuff. Take your stem off and check the steerer, i found that mine was cover in black oily stuff. (don't know how it got there but hey) clean that off from the steerer/ and the inside of the stem clamp, with a bit of meths. then put it back together. do the same for your bars & the clamp. you do NOT what any grease or lubricant on clamping areas. If you the clicking persists, i'd just check all the weld areas on forks and round headtube for cracks (although i doubt they'll be any) if there isn't any, just keep riding it. I found the clicks don't make any difference to the bike, and it is only a click. EDIT: just seen pics of headset, i'd say get them bearing clean and covered in grease, use some WD40 to clean em out !
