If you want performance on a smooth rim, Tnn Beleays or Tnn LGMs are really good. On a grind, the yellows should be fine. Just make sure your grinds not too harsh, that the pads are set up PERFECTLY, and that you have a decent rim to run them on.

I want the pads hes using. His brake sounds and looks to perform epicly! His riding was silky smooth too

Hi all, Was just wondering last night how amazing someones riding can progress by breaking the confidence barrier to actually go for something. Would be interested to find out how any of you managed to get past the barrier and how much your riding has improved as a result I managed to get my technique right and broke the confidence barrier last night and further so today, achieving 41" up to back wheel and then 45" today Please post how you have progressed once breaking this barrier that seems to loom over you forever haha. Thanks!

Old railway tunnel?

Whey! Thanks for putting these up dan! Was a little disapointed at my brake that day Liked both clips, but the second was even better My tgs machine was out of its comfort zone lol

Id give it another bleed, just to make sure, whack it on the bike and see how it feels mate.

Did you make sure that the lever cylinder was all the way down against the tpa pin?

Going back to Heatsink Yellows again this weekend. Will use the beleays up front. The beleays have been working well but there was something about the Yellows that just seemed right. Im really picky when coming to pad choice

I remember when this was my frame! I started on it and I loved it! You get it of "CharlieMod" on the forum? I can tell it was mine by the postion of the Neon Logo, the paint chips on the headtube from when the headset went in and the loooonnnnggg downtube marks. Looks like it will be a good bike when done mate! I really cant beleive its still going lol,

Very true Carl. That slipped my mind lol

Would you be looking to go on the Saturday dan? Im going sunday and monday. If you could get a train to Hull City Train Station there is a small chance my old man could pick you up and give you a lift on sunday with me and jake, pending on wether this other lad is definately coming with us........

Bumping this up. See editied first post!

Echo TR? 44mm wide. Strong rim. Win

Whats the set up on your Magura mate? Small adjustments can make a big difference.

I want the 2005 Magura Hs33s back out, along with the 4 finger levers, THEN i would be happy.

Not liking it to be honest:/ Needs that tyre and rear rim GONE!

Theyre utter rubbish. 2010 Echo TR bodys and old 05 magura slaves WINS!

Thankfully the location Im in means there is brilliant sites to ride at. I try get up to shipley glen most weekends, and ride my garden if I feel like riding, so 90% of the time Im riding natural now. Off camber surfaces dont affect me too badly, after messing around with my Tyre pressure Ive found a good all round pressure. Ive just managed to master short run ups too, and being able to manouve the bike smoothly without being on the rear wheel the full time. Another thing thats improved vastly is my consistancy. 9 times out of 10 I can get things first time. Physically, Im fine. Been riding 3 years now so Ive got the muscle and strenght I need, and my endurance is fine too. I do occasionally suffer from arm pump, but Ive messed with the brakes and Ive nearly eliminated this. Will only occur now after 20 mins of solid riding. My core strength is good too, and Ive never had an issue with my legs.

So? I have no idea on how the competition rules or routes works. Completely new experience for me. What route are you doing? Would Red be suitable for my level?

Id say intermediate, Sidehops are around 7 inches above bar height both ways, up to backs are just above that, up to fronts are the same and my static to backwheels are the same as my sidehops. Im currently using some decent sized boulders in my back garden. (Lucky Me) Will try get a video tonight if the weather clears up.

Hi Guys! Currently loving natural riding and am looking to get into more competitions to change things a bit and increase my range of riding. I see lots of light bikes, with light frames and components ect. Im riding an 06 Python though....... It doesn't feel too heavy, and I can ride it better that any other bike Ive owned, all much shorter. The competition oreintated bikes Ive seen usually all seem to have short Wb and high BBs with high front ends. Mines got a +55 BB (I think), and a 1065 WB and Im running a higher front end than usually found on a TGS rig. Would I be better on a shoter frame for the natural stuff, or somewhere in between for both worlds? Will post up the spec if required. Comments much appreciated, Feel free to advise changes on spec!

Im back on the Mod again Jamie, so the TR 19 is what I'l be going for at some point

Me and Dan are off up to the Glen todayfor around 12ish for a few hours. I know many of your will be riding Lee Mill and good luck to those that are! But for us few that arent, come ride! Hopefully some of you will come, Sorry its short notice! Cheers!

The only pad I found that worked well on my TT Sport were Hs Yellows. Im buying another set soon as my beleays eat the grind way to quickly. The other thing I would suggest is buy the TNN LGMs or Belaeys and give it a VERY Harsh gind. Will be chaning to an ECHO tr soon as they do them in fluro green to match my front. Hold a grind 10x better than the trialtech

Definatley in! Missed too many of these rides. Ridings a bit better now too so hoping to try some new stuff
