  10. I would say learn to back hop first and then use the technique front to up
  11. Literally just went for a ride and I really know what you meen they are so bad in fareness. I suppose for me the only thing I can do to have the enjoyment of using a maggie is to buy a new frame with a wide rear end which makes me sad to say goodbye to my first frame. Can you post a pic of the dual disc bike. Thanks for the help mate.
  12. I think I have asked before but didnt get much of a response. I ride a mad phase 1.3 and this dosent have a very wide rear end or magura mounts. As much as I would like to run magura, the rim that I run on the rear is to wide to accomidate a v-brake or magura so I have been forced to run dual disc. This came as a shock so im not running a great setup at the moment. Avid SD7 levers and hayes and tektro calipers not great. I have seen many MOD's riding dual disc but not so many stocks. The Hope trials brakes seem to get used alot and the Magura Louise, but I dont know if these brakes will hold a stock bike steady on the rear wheel. Any advice or help pictures of your disc setups would be great and help out. Thanks
  13. sorry mate I didnt meen to miss out the 24"'s sorry about that but thanks for the advice 20psi is nice
  14. I find this a very hard aspect of trials that I find I can never get quite right, its somtimes a case of harder tyres so quicker rolling and rapid bounce or a lower pressure for grip and slower bounce. I ride a stock but am interested to know what tyres and what pressure any riders use on MOD or STOCK Thanks for any replys
  15. I have a mad phase 1.3 and had a pretty random rear brake setup but I would say the trialtech one as thats what held my frame and brake solid
  16. I ride there lowest 1.3 had it for some time now great bike I have done loads of changes check my pics out. They are great for beginners but can take a real beating. I would say to get the 1.2 or 1.1 as they have magura mounts. ( thats where I went wrong ) But look around. They are good and well recognised.
  17. I have that hole set up with the booster and adapter. Plus i have an old school set of ofset mounts that will fit in the v-brake slot. I cant really be bothered to set it all up like that though. It looks pretty untidy on a trials bike and sticks out quite alot. Im gunna try and find some bb5 or bb7 calipers and run dual disc still and buy some larger roters. I think tuis is probably best for me, or I will try and get a new frame to setup. Thanks everyone.
  18. Ok I havent thought about that but that seems like a good idea. I will try and look for a different frame cheap with a wide rear end when im validated. Then I can finally run a maggie. I will miss the old frame had for some time now. I like to think its one of the nicest mad phase bikes around. ( there are some pics on my post (The MAD phase) Thanks for the tips mate What bike do you ride.
  19. Thanks for the advice. I cant run a v-brake already tried it. The arms stick out to far and hit the cranks or my leg and it just didnt work.
  20. Hi all I ride a mad phase 1.3 and due to changing some parts including the rear wheel I am now ruinning dual disc. My new wheel is 46mm wide and very large for this frame. I would like to run a magura but I would have to use aan evo 2 adapter kit and use offset mounts. I think this would all look very messie but I dont know if its worth doing that or upgrading the disc. Any advice would be great thanks. Howard
  21. I have this problem at the moment so im running odd cranks. But if the thread has gone (like mine) if its made from aluiminium find a guy that can weld some into the hole and then get a new screw thread cut into it.
  22. I would say to not do the tugs up so much or to try a set of snail cams my mate had this problem but has just bought some snail cams and it is solved. Hope you can get it sorted and keep riding.
  23. made me laugh so much but hes got the chi skills
