  1. Hmmmmmmm, thinking about it that could potentially be the problem......will have a look - thanks!
  2. Thanks very much for the comments lads. Adam, yeah i am working on getting smoother, i'm about 14 stone myself so no lightly. I'm not a heavy rider but could always be smoother, some of these flats have been ridiculous though - yesterday i hung up the tiniest bit up a set of stairs and it tore a huge hole in the tube! I think its a Maxxis tyre i've got on, but must be a single ply - only got the bike second hand a few weeks ago. Anyway cheers for the feedback, will probs go with try-all or a dual ply maxxis. Cheers!
  3. Getting sick of having to change my rear tube every half an hour - think its time to purchase a new one! Just wanted a bit of advice on what to get. I ride a stock and run the back at about 25psi, ideally looking to spend no more than £35, but if thats a bit unrealistic, then please let me know. Just want a tyre thats amazing against pinch flats, with a half decent tread. I did look on tarty and found this one-people's thoughts? Comments would be well appreciated.

  4. I had quite a good one yesterday actually, it was, "Aren't you a bit old to be riding a bmx mate?" (i'm 23 btw) to which i just replied, "No, and its not a bmx." then rode off. What a f*cking bell.
  5. Hey guys and gals, As the title says i've just started riding trials again after about 3 years - bought a 2nd hand stock a few weeks ago. Its coming back relatively quickly, but always found progression better when riding with others and obviously its more fun! So yeah, hit me up if you live in the Surrey/Guildford area and fancy a ride! Cheers!
  6. Bought a second hand bike a few weeks ago after not being on one for over 3 years-thought this summer would be as good as any to start riding again! Roughly 8 foot (quite big for me) gap down at an awesome little place i found in the kent area. Play from 30 secs in:
