  1. A few people on here have used + liked the soft material, I know for front they're highly rated.
  2. Local bike shops should be able to order them. I've got them on my 24" trial and they're not that nice. Grippy, yes but they have a lot of give even at 35psi, will still rim easily at 35psi and if run with lower pressures rather than feeling bouncy they just feel flat and sluggish.
  3. The Atom clear pads? They're probably more suited to a smooth rim than a grind. If the weather was consistantly dry in the UK I'd run smooth + tar to keep the paint on my sidewalls and not have to f**k about with grinding. As the weather is shite 90% of the time though its gotta be a grind for me.
  4. I like how you coloured the forks in with marker pen
  5. You want a cable lever for your Magura? Alrighty then...
  6. These are pure trials bikes, they're not designed for street at all and I can barely 360 pivot the thing, imagine riding a 26" that felt like riding a 20"
  7. I absolutely love this bike, try find someone that has one to try out
  8. Reds used to be amazing, they only need a light grind to be amazing from what I remember.
  9. Check his profile, he hasn't been online in weeks.
  10. 20mm shorter in both reach and wheelbase, It looks alright though. This was more of a moan towards developers than trying to decide on a new frame though
  11. Because trials is behind on a lot of technologys and from working in a Bikeshop i've seen too many retards overtighten forks / fame post mounts rendering then useless. Ideal situation is a flex free is-post adaptor, strip it and just replace the adaptor.
  12. Haz beat me to it, it's creatine that retains water and gives you a bit more size and weight (due to water retention). I can't remember specifics but I know that supplimenting creatine helps with protein synthesis due to increased nitrogen stores within the muscles, as I said though I can't remember 100% so don't quote me on it. Protien is very important though, I weigh 78kg at 5'10" and about 11% bodyfat and consume maybe 200g a day whether I've done my daily gym routine, had a day doing nothing, been riding trials or attending gymnastics. It helps to keep you feeling full and helps with the recovery of muscles. bulkpowders is a great site to order from and it's usually at least half the price of highstreet shops (GNC charge around £35-50 for a 2kg tub depending on brand wheras Bulkpowers were about £15-20 last time I checked)
  13. And is also going to be much too expensive if I ever move from the Echo.
  14. The because seems too short, my echo feels perfect. I know the Zhi mockery of a 24" frame doesnt have a disc mount either. Also before anyone suggest Marino, I'm not a fan of gaining between 6-800grams on my frame.
  15. Or rather the lack of... I don't get why more companys arent putting disc tabs on 24" trial specific frames? I'm currently riding the Echo 24 and although I love it and my Maggy does work pretty nicely I'd still much rather be dual disc. It doesn't make sense, especially when Ozonys have a disc only frame (and I think a maggy only frame?). /rant.
  16. No worries, all it needs is a very light grind, litterally roughen up the surface, drag it around for a while and stop when the noise becomes unbearable
  17. Make it sunday and I might be in? I turn 19 on the saturday plus I'm working so I can't do the 14th
  18. I was originally very unimpressed with my cousts but since bedding in I have to say they're stupidly powerful. They need to wear down a fresh grind to work properly and took me about 10hours of riding to go from no bite / hold and no noise to stupidly loud and powerful pads.
  19. My trialtech one came with this (had to link rather than hotlink the image as it wouldnt allow me to. click here
  20. z610x, either the KMC or the Trialtech will do fine, the only difference between the two is the Trialtech costs more for the same thing and you get a Trialtech sticker to go with it.
  21. 1: Wd40 isnt a lubricant, it might get some gunk off the pistons if thats why they're sticking. 2: It has a chance of rotting the seals over time.
  22. That gainer at about 58seconds was sketchy as f**k, didn't get the tuck properly and didn't extend to meet the landing.
  23. My shins are lumpy and scared to f**k
  24. Even riding the busy Reading town center police are always sound, they'll normally have a chat and sorta slip in on the sly that they don't like us riding there when it's busy. I've even had the same officers approach me weeks later to watch and have a talk, kinda good having them on my side.
  25. Or stay rear disc depending on preferance.
