Thanks wozz,
that will probably be what's happened. Should I get it changed or just keep tightening it up?

Hi guys, for some reason my crank keeps coming really loose but not actually coming of. I have taken my bike to my local bike shop and they did it up really tight but one week on and it has come loose again. Its only been the left crank (so not the side with the chain and sprocket) and the right ones been fine. Not sure what to do?
Any help would be appreciated, as cannot ride with it loose.
Thanks

Hi guys just wondering how to get onto and bounce to things on my rear wheel. I would appreciate a few pointers on how to bounce up and to objects. I can kick up and stay on my rear wheel but cant seem to hop forwood or bounce high enough to get onto things?
Thanks

Hi I found that it is better to buy a second hand full build. I got an Onza T-bird barely used with a few new parts for less than £150 which is a fantastic deal. So my advice is keep looking until you find a bargain as there are plenty out there.
I also think that 20inch are a better starter bike as they are more flickable and are easier to learn how to kick up on.
Hope this helps, good luck

Im up for it. Is anyone else coming at the moment, also when will it be time and date please?
You could put it on the member organised ride section and more people might come.
just a thought.

Hi sam dont know about zoo's or GU's but have you had a look at tartybikes because they have lots of new bikes. if not they tend to have some great second hand trials bikes on ebay.
Good luck

Hi guys just letting you that the ride is still on as long as it doesnt tip it down but dont think it will. might be a few spots of light rain but should be ok

hi all bought a diamondback groove yesturday as my alround freeride mtb. i know it is slightly aimed at dirtjumpers (which i do not do i ride trials on my onza and freeride on this) but it seemed like a good hardcore mtb this is because it has 24 gears and strong yet light frame. I bought it for £240 reduced from over £400 and thought it was a good deal. took it around the woods yesturday and it was mint.
what do you think, good buy for what id use it for.
spec list
brakes Quad QMD-5 mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors
fork RST Gila Pro 120mm
Frame 24" - 29" Inside Leg
Gears 24
Gearset Suntour alloy 42/34/24
rims Diamondback dirt jump

Hi just wondered who inspired you in trials and who does know. martyn ashton inspired me when i saw him at Portsmouth doing the animal relentless biketour last year. I now think Danny Macaskill is amazing even though he does more street i still think its amazing what he does.

Painting Wheels
in Bike Chat
Posted
Hi all,
I am painting my wheels on my diamondback bike build. Just wondered which bits to cover up and which bits not to cover up. I am painting them black (not that that makes any difference) and the bike is red, do you guys think the colour scheme is good or not?
Thanks
