Anyone else going tomorrow?

I'll probably be there again. Last time was awesome! Its a shame that some of the guys were having bike issues though. One of the highlights for me was when John and Adrian nearly gapped from a roof to a metal crate which was a gap of about 6 feet across and 6 feet down. Until some pr1ck threatened to call the pigs. I'm currently suffering from a bit of a cold but if I feel fine on the weekend I'll be there Mike

Weather forcast reckons rain for Sunday

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Seems like sanding the pads is the way to go then. Why isn't it a good idea to put tar on your disc rotors then? I'm sure there is a reason but to me it seems like a good idea lol. Can anyone shed some light on the reasoning? Mike

No. I bought the whole bike 2nd hand. Its a 2010 model bike so probably isn't more than a year old, and I know the bike wasn't ridden very hard for that year. Just a cloth wet with tap water.

Hi Guys. I recently took the wheels off my bike and after I had put them back on, the brakes didn't have as much bite or hold as before. I've got cable discs front and back (pre-fitted by manufacturer). I tweaked around a bit with them and it was worse. Then I thought i'd give them a clean. I cleaned the pads and the discs but after that, they were even worse! The pad were not naturally "grippy" at all. They were smooth and almost shiny. I've been thinking about possible solutions to get more bite and hold back in them. 1) Buy new brake pads Is this necessary? The pads don't seem very worn down but then i've never owned disc brakes before so I dont know what to look for really. 2) Use some coating on the discs I've heard that tar is not advised on disc brakes as it is on rim brakes. Why is this? I was thinking of some low cost alternatives that wouldn't damage my discs but would still add extra grip and stickiness such as coke or squeezing the juice from an orange. What is your opinion on using products to add extra grip to disc rotors? Any thoughts very welcome Cheers Mike

Awesome! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing some skills. I spoke to J Bonham and Laurence--Trials as well in another thread and they both said it would be good to see some new riders. Everyone on here has made me feel really welcome. Definitely going to have a good time on sunday i'm sure.

Hi Guys. My name is Mike, i'm 25, just started riding again after 9 years. I live in Norwich and i'd be keen on coming to this meet up if that's cool with everyone? I've only just got back into riding again so I'm way below your skill level, but it would be cool to meet some trials riders in Norwich, hang out and check out your skills. I didn't live in Norwich back when I used to ride, so I dont know any of the good spots. Where do you guys usually ride? And of course since I wouldn't be the centre of the action, I'm happy to do any of the filming you guys want. Cheers Mike

Legendary. Thanks for the votes guys. I think I can now post in the main forums. Many thanks Mike

Hi Guys. I'm Mike. I'm 25 and live in Norwich. I've just got back into riding after 9 years off. I'm keen to meet up with some other trials riders in Norwich. There is a thread in the other forums where a Norwich ride is being arranged for the 20th of this month and i'd love to post a proper introduction and request to join them in there. Looks like it will be an awesome ride with loads of people going along. Would you guys be able to approve me to full membership so I could post a proper introduction and request to join the ride in the other forums? It would be much appreciated. Cheers -Mike-
