  1. as the edit said I weigt my bike and it's about 9kg and new forks are on the way so it will also save 0.5kg
  2. isis for the new bb altough i don't have complaints about the square taper one I was already thinking about the echo urbans becouse i like a strong fork
  3. it's a rainbow like the forks man defo gonna get them now nice bike
  4. thanks mate I'm in love with the bike now it is my second bike so i didn't know wath to think of it but i realy feel the difference between the two bikes (the other was an onza comp '09 (used the spec from that bike)) i dislike the feel of the forks so that will be om my list at number one nr2 will be the bb and cranks i also like the the build of the frame apart from the flex but the booster works great
  5. personaly i like cages more i realy like the echo tr cage pedals
  6. it's about 30mm of stackers but I'm 6 foot 4 so it must be as high as it is becouse otherwise I would hit my knee constantly at the bars but thanks for the good thoughts of my bike it sure was a suprise for you
  7. thanks mate I'm going to buy a new fork next month and do some weight savings if she weighs about 9 kg I would be happy
  8. hello riders so I took some pictures of my new blade I have it from february now and I realy like it i don't have the lightes spec but I like to know there is a bike between my legs the spec will come later just enjoy my bike! follow this link to see it hope you like it coments are welcome edit: weight my bike and it's 9kg now so it isn't that heavy as i thougt robin
  9. it depends on how much you weigh. i put alot of air in my tyre and just go for feeling if it's to hard i let some air out until it feels good quick job
  10. every month sounds like you don't even give the pads time to bed in my grinds last longer than 3months i use an old disc and just remove the upper layer also i don't position my disc too high (30°) than let the pads bed in should give a good effect if your set up is right (my set up: 2005 maggies,4finger leverblade,try-all 2bolt booster,tnn belaey's/real coustpads,onza blade '10) riding to often doesn't exist mate
  11. i did the same thing to avoid it from breaking beacouse a mate of me told me it was "THE" spot to break becouse of the friction it gets.
  12. well i know wesley does indoor training and gym training in the winter. in the summer he only rides his bike and focusing on technique not random riding some days he will go for balance an other day pure power riding and comp or precision riding so it's inportant to do difrent stuff and never do the same things but you asked what training personaly i do push-ups,sit-ups,weight lifting and so on but strong wrists are verry inportant if you are a comp rider. don't go to the gym but do it at home (it's cheaper ) hope this helps (sorry for my bad english)
  13. hello i'm a belgian rider and i had the same question in the new member chat sometime ago . what i learned about it was that it's just how you learn to ride your bike, if you always had the rear brake on the right you're not going to change the position of your brakes. i see the logics in the combination rearbrake + right hand and frontbrake + lefthand. but in the uk everybody rides on the left side of the road so when you are on your bike needing to make a right turn and indicate you still have your rear brake if they have the european style of braking sides they would only have the front brake in a right hand turn and you could fall if you need to brake then.in left hand turns you don't need to indicate so you don't let go of you handlebars. thanks robin (also sorry for the bad english)
  14. so you're saying that Kenny/Wesley Belaey,Benito Ros,Andrei Burton,Rick Koekoek where no trial riders because everybody on this forum was or is in a beginner stage so what you're saying is that beginner trialsriders (if i can call them that) aren't real trial riders in your eyes? i think everybody who rides a trial is a trial biker am i wrong tell me please
  15. I just have 6 grinds in one year so i don't grind that frequently it was just a thought ,I don't have problems with buying new rims and the brake is super good atm thanks anyway
  16. thanks for the replys guys it just would be a greate invention if they would find an alternative though
  17. hello trials riders as in the title stands would it be possible to have the über grind? what i mean is that you will not have to grind anymore because that would be a great invention!
  18. sorry man but i have dysextie just tryed to help him but thanks for te clarification
  19. put your crank (bb if one crank is removed) in a vise and put a large pipe over the crankpuller it is fairley easy from this point.
  20. I had the same problem with my rockbars an 3D stem you just need to place some metal in the gap and bolt the bolts upside down in put you handelbar in as far as possible an if you need more room give the bolts a twist always the same an both sides never bolt onley one bolt ore it will brake or bend when it's in unbolt and do like you normaly would problen solved
  21. just done it quickley so it's not perfeckt but you got an image black fork
  22. well it's VERRY stiff becous there is just one weldpoint. i realy love te stem but the top cap could be more powerfull in my opinion it bend with me so ... if you want a realy good stem go for the try-all one never had anny problems with it
  23. hello i own the try-all stem and it's verry good but it's also a pain in the a** to put a handlebar in like the rockbars in. the same with the rockman stem in my opinion. if you want to go for comfort use the v!z one it's just so much easier. thanks robin.
