  1. I broke my tensioner so i took 2 links out of the chain at first the chain was really tight but it loosend up after a few rides and now its perfect i dont need a tensioner. try it if it doesn't work just put the links back in
  2. oh well it was just an idea i thought it would make the website a little better
  3. you should try to get in touch with some of the top riders like ali c, jack carthy, James Sheridan ?
  4. I have just had a thought i know it has nothing to do with trials but it would make the website better. Trials-Forum should have a chat like Facebook so you can talk to online members, it would make things a lot easier especially when buying things you could chat rather than pm and wait ages for a reply. anyone think this would be a good idea?
  5. haha! yeah they still sell them not sure weather anyone buys them because they are like a ww1 invention, but i was in halfords a few weeks ago buying a new lid and saw them.
  6. make sure you using just 1 finger on the brake and bring the bars closer to your chest. you'll soon figure out your own way just keep trying and it will come to you.
  7. go to tarty bikes and buy the 2011 magura hs11 rim brake its £60 and comes with olives an evo 2 adaptor(and a foot too much hose ) but its easy to shorten without emptying the fluid i've just bought it its great i cant fault it.
  8. Gloves help but you can also buy lizard skin lever blade covers from halfords for about a £1
  9. oh great i thought it was just a trial competition how long is it on for ?
  10. Ryan Leech's mastering the art of trial video inspired me the most. people that dont know what it is its an hour long video that shows you exacly how to do every trials stunt. i tried looking for the video to post on here but i can only find short sections of it so heres a short clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1du5z1fhc3w
  11. can the public ride at this event ?
  12. nice video, the music is a little bit ott though.
  13. i ride a mad phase 1.3 ive just got a 2011 hs33 with evo mounts it works really good
  14. try tightening it up as much as possible. also i might not be the freewheel, bottom brackets some times make noises like that, oil it and tighten it up as mush as you can. hope this helps.
  15. i ride without a tensioner. it cost me £10 for the singlespeed kit and £10 for the chain. go to superstar components there really cheap and have good quality parts.
  16. hi i have always been told to stay away from tar. But if you really think you need it tartybikes have a monty tar spray, it comes in a spray bottle for around a fiver.
  17. i saw that wheel but i didnt know weather it was too cheap for a trials wheel, ive only been riding a few months and dont really know much about wheels.
