  1. Quick tip guys when you have cramp, slap it with a cupped hand it eases pain alot! Jay
  2. It could be worn pads but at a guess ide say it is contaminated pads!! Get some new ones and try that! Jay
  3. Cheers mate will take the tights just in case!! Jay
  4. Hey guys riding on Sunday at Mill Lee Quarry, it says we all have to ride in long trousers? Never ridden a trial competitavely and i always ride in shorts!! Whats acceptable? What do most people wear? Is shorts with "Leggins" allowed? Jay
  5. If there is a way of truing a disk i want to know it! And as for tyre pressure its complete personal preference if you run them lower you will more than likely get snake bite punctures to start with however when riding natural i have very very low pressure to get the grip needed!! Pump them up to 30psi then let them down bit by bit see how you feel! Jay
  6. Looks good mate!! Especially for £100! As for the front brake take it off the bike and push the pistons back this will stop it dragging! And the rear Vee, undo the little nut at the back where the wire goes through and pull more wire through this will make it tighter! Jay
  7. In my opinion boosters generally make maguras better! Always, hold, bite. everything! Leave it on
  8. Evening lads and ladies, Anyone use any strange training methods to improve their trials? I do a few, i skip alot and jump high whilst skipping really burns the legs and do a bit of Parkour seems to help with the gaps and stuff!! Jay
  9. Thanks for the replies lads! Will get on to having a look tomorrow! Gym is calling! URGH! Jay
  10. Afternoon guys, My bike is making a few odd sounds! Its recently had a bttom bracket changed but its making some cracking creaky noises! And its very unsettling, wondered if there is anything that could be fixed or is it the freewheel on its way out? :/ Jay
  11. The rear rim sounds like it has a grind on it, people grind rims to make brakes better! Leave this on and get used to the squeeking! As for the front brake it may need bleeding or it may have contaminated pads! Jay
  12. Ridden moto trials to national level, my advice is firstly enjoy it!! Secondly remember the back wheel DOES NOT follow the front one! Always allow room for it to follow! You riding clubman B? If so...... Yellow flags Jay
  13. Good riding mate! Only tip would be to get that front wheel a little higher when your back wheeling onto things! Otherwise Good effort!!! Jay
  14. Hey mate i live 40 minutes from york. (scarborough) So im sure we can sort something Jay
  15. Yeah your probably getting annoyed with me now ermmm anyone riding in or near Scarborough? And is anyone riding the trial on 15th may? Tyke trial? Thinking about going along to ride the blue route! what should i be expecting? Jay

    Fitness

    Bit of a strange one here guys! Just wondered what sort of fitness you do off the bike? And what your diets are all like? Jay
  17. Thanks very much!! Bike shops really are a thing of the past haha! I shall go try true the wheel now! Jay
  18. Ive tightened the bolt on the headset didnt know if there was another way! Maybe bearings have gone :/ Jay
  19. Hia guys Got a few problems which are going to be very hard to explain!! Well i have a couple of spokes that are loose on the back wheel and the thread has gone so they wont tighten, no bike shop has any time to sort it and i havent got a jog to make the wheel straight! Anyway im not sure this is the whole problem! Here is where the fun starts trying to explain... If you stand the bike still and put the back brake on and rock it forwards and backwards the wheel moves a couple of inches but the disc stays still..... Secondly the front end is loose too think this is the headset, anyway of tightening without a tool? Thanks and sorry for any stupid questions Jay
  20. I cant get the videos off my phone at the moment as i have no lead :/ however they will be here soon!! But i can work on the back wheel fine, been dropping off about 4-5ft can turn on the back wheel etc etc! Sidehop about 12 inches this is definately my weak point! Jay
  21. Hia guys just a quick one. I want to go do a competition but not sure what class to ride in? Ca anyone give me some examples of difficulty of the classes Thanks Jay
  22. hahaa thanks krisboats!! I only get 5 posts a day for now but im definately replying to that! It made me laugh!! Will use the search bar from now on! Sorry guys! I have always bled my maguras with water and to be honest i prefer it! Thanks for the help in the future I wouldnt even get on my bike without a helmet! I like my head... Even though its like a peanut :/ Regards Jay
  23. Hey guys new to this forum! Bit about me- ridden motorbike trials since i was about 11, im 19 now. Ive dibbled in and out of bike trials in that time and have now started riding full time.
