  2. New to Trials and Advice Please

    Mod 20" and 24" and 26", I ride 26 but its all down to personal preference as ive riden all sizes, Onza comp is 20" and so is the pro, the Zoot is onza's 24inch but its more for just street style not pure trials hence the seat, Plenty of lads on the forum have frames and parts for sale or even whole bikes, my mate jack has a 24" pure trials echo 24 for sale if you are interested in the for sale section, its literally up to you to what you want to ride and what you feel more comfy on overall, all bikes have different geos so its best to look and find one that would suit you :) mayb just get one second hand so you dont have to spend a bucket load incase you dont enjoy it as much as you thought or want a different spec so on :) Good luck on your journey :)

  4. Car insurance and credit card help needed.

    in Chit Chat

    Muel I'm paying my current insurance monthly so if I can paying it off a credit card works out cheaper (current car is £1200 pay monthly) and it'd half the cost of the mr2's insurance. The credit card is purely for cheaper insurance, might get my dad to take the card out for me.

    I can afford the car but not the insurance up front so telling me the credit card is a bad decision when it saves me money over my current car is bad advice. I have my dad as a named driver (35years without a claim) and 1years no claims with me holding my lisence for 3years in nov.

    I basically only want help choosing a credit card or whether I'd actually get one that'd allow £1500 in a single transaction with my age and also help with insurance, do I suck it up and find a completely stock car? How do these thousands of young drivers with aftermarket exhausts, alloys etc claim on their insurance if they haven't declared mods? Could I just pull the "those wheels and the exhaust came on the car so how do I know it's not standard" method if I need to claim?

    If the person hasnt declared them on there insurence then you might get away with it but i doubt insurance company will fall for that and just say its up to you (terms and conditions clauses of contract blah blah blah) they are very good at trying to not pay out so i wouldn't advise it as its up to you as the owner to make sure your car is legal and everything is declared, most my friends just keep there old parts and pop them back on and then claim, if it works out cheaper by all means go for it like just go for the sensible option over all you got plenty of time to own one and may be cheaper in a years time or so. Good luck, i still rate you go on credit experian and get matched up :)

    You age will be a bit of a problem with no real credit history youll find it hard to get someone to lend to you, sign up to credit experian 30 day trial and check your report and they will match you to a lender if you really wanna but get yourself registered on the electoral role as it boosts credit rating, your credit history will be most likely just be fair on the rating and most places will only give you a small amount to start of with thats just from experience, if you want it that bad then just save up slowly mate

  9. Stem setup question.

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    I run a 150x30 on my stock better reach and mainly because my BB rise is 60+ so i need a higher rise, thats why the koxx sky comes with a longer stem because its BB rise is 70+ so anything lower youd be kissing the wheel when your up haha. i ran the same on my 24 and felt perfect, just run whatever you feels more comfy for you :)

  12. Travelling to Australia.

    Ah did you? How come you came back? I'd love to do the occasional ride out there but would be an afford to drag the bike along with me, was planning on doing a fair bit of surfing providing I get the chance and can afford it. £800 return for flights is what I'm aiming to achieve at the most, and $120 a week in hostels is a very good price in my opinion. How would renting a camper be cheaper? I had a look and it's like £500 a week. :( yeah it's like 59p to one of their dollars. When abouts are you going? And haha nice one man!

    Thanks for that info dude, will have a deeper look into the visas tonight. I do have a lot of time to plan though, but earlier the better so I make sure I get everything covered.

    Im only back temporary, depends where your looking for campers, i managed to get one for $100 a week, and "around $120" was the cheapest i found in Melbourne in st kilda before i got a apartment, because youd save money in the long run is why :), Im going back in January so il be there from then onwards in melbourne :) the more money you go with the better trust me :) good luck with it all like :)

    I lived out there for a couple of years, Loads of riders that are friendly, will put you up if you need a place, spots are awesome and weathers good depending on what part of australia you go, £3000 should be fine but flights will be around £600+ return from there, if your under 25 sta do awesome deals, accomidation is not cheap however if you are just planning on staying in hostels your looking at around $120 bucks plus a week for accom, renting camper would be cheaper, the conversion rate on the aussy doller isnt that good £1000 will give you about £1500 something aussy dollers :) hope this helps, bondi has some sweet spots :) im there next year so if your around hit me up and il come ride and give you a place to crash



    Also Food is alot more expensive but petrol is dirt cheap and goes up and down in different areas :) was about $1.90 for petrol in December when i was there :)



    Also again, you can only have a working visa once, so if you get one of those you will be asked to have $1000 for every month you are staying and will have to provide this with proof, alot of the time when just on a visiting visa you will be asked to produce proof you have the funds to travel in australia and will be refused entry if you dont have enough, Do some hard research into it and make sure what visa is right for you :)
