I took the piston out, sanded it slightly and streched the spring. It's still not perfect but much better than before, I think the piston needs to be sanded slightly more but it works well enough for now. Thanks for the help
-
When I pull the lever there's alot of play before there is any pressure and the pads move. So I took the lever blade off and used some pliars to pull the piston out a mm or two, this completely got rid of the play in the lever but when ever I pull the lever in again the piston goes back to the original position.
Is this a sticky piston? If so how do I get rid of the problem?
Hope this made sense
Cheers
Henry

none, it has a built in booster man
..if anything i'd go for the trialtech 2-bolt booster, i used that on my 06 and was perfect 
Ah cheers mate, I didn't think the frame would have much flex in it from its design but wasn't sure, thanks

Sorry bit off topic but ...
What type of booster are any of you using on a 07 frame? Im running a V atm with a shimano carbon boster but im swapping to dual maggie so any help on what booster works well on an 07 would be handy!
I'll get a picture up later

Best video i've seen in ages

Doing something thats good for my standard of riding does and riding with mates.

I was in this predicament not long ago, ended up with a half-arsed nitromors job that left bits of white primer and silver, and then I've just doodled over the frame with black permanent marker.
Do something different there's so many boring bikes out there, put hand prints or I dunno splatters on it. Could look cool.
Thinking of doing something like this:
could be quite tricky to do though -
Sorry to steal the thread but i thought theres no point starting a new one for a couple of questions
1. Do you need a special type of spray paint or is any that says it works on metal okay?
2. Do you put anything on top of the paint after its dried to protect it from scartches ect?
-

I need to get some isis cranks, 165 or 170 length and preferably black. I don't want to spend much but the cheapest ones on Tarty are £50+ and there don't seem to be many in the sale section at the moment so I was wondering if there are any other websites that would sell cranks cheap new or secondhand??
-
This is how i set up my hs33:
Get an old credit card or any bit of card or plastic, whack it the gap between the rim and pads and push the cylinder so it holds the credit card in place. Then tighten the bolts whilst still pushing on the cylider then wiggle out the card and this should mean your pads are set up square to the rim.
I've only done it a few times but it works for me.

The chain definitely isn't hitting the frame, I did give the threads a quick clean just with abit of kitchen paper. Tomorrow I'l take on the bottom bracket give the threads a good clean with an old tooth bursh to make sure all the dirts out, grease it up and put the bb back on and hopefuly that will have solved the problem. Cheers for the help.
-
Recently bought a trialtech Race ISISbb from tarty bikes, I greased up the threads and fitted it but the non-drive side cup was really stiff to get all the way in. Now on the bike theres a dodgy grinding sound coming from the bb area and you can feel it vibrating the cranks. Is this just the bottom bracket bedding in? Any help would be great. Cheers in advance, Henry.
-
I had the same problem with a different set up and it was because the bb wasn't long enough so I had to buy a new bb with a 128mm axel length
-
Just wondering are the da bomb bikes any good, they seem to be very cheep second hand?
-
Cheers for all the replies, I was gonig to get it as my first bike but turns out the guys already sold it
-
Hi can anyone tell me what model of koxx frame this is, which year ect...
-
If you ever decided to sell your t-pro let me know because im looking for one, but i don't really know enough about trials to give you advice about the two bikes
-
I'm really trying to get into trials. Iv got a Zona Zip with a broken brake front brake and no bash guard so if anyone knows of where i can find one i would be really grateful. I ride pretty regularly and im trying to get trials riding accepted as part of my gold duke of edinbourgh as that would be amazing, has anyone ever done this before?
The actual award says that we need to be under part of a professional group or club, but do these actually exist?
Im doing D of E too, the seem to be pretty slack with checking if its a proper club, aslong as you have some proof of you doing it (e.g. pictures or videos) you should be fine, although I guess it depends what your assesor's like
-
Cheers for the advice, il have a look on ebay and see if any good deals come my way
-
Hi everyone only been on trials-forum for a short while but i've noticed that there is alot of threads that people (including myself) have posted asking for advice on which bike to buy.
Just though it would be easier if there was one thread for everyone to ask their questions (about which bike to get), this should save eveyone time and free up space for other theads
Cheers Henry

Im saving up for a bike to learn on, i like the look of the onza T Pro and ive heard some good reviews, I was wondering if anyone knows of any other bikes that are better value or just generaly better to start on??
Cheers Henry
-
Yeah Ebays always a good shout. Some real bargains on there sometimes too!
I was on the other day and found a GU, two ZOO's and an Adamant!
Im sure you'll find something mate (:
Yeah i was thinking maybe an Onza pro, i saw one that went yesterday for £150 that looked in good condition, only problem is i live it taunton and there doesn't seem to be any for sale within a couple of hours by car, and no one seems to be willing to send in in the post
