    what is TGS?

    Okay guys I need a little help. I started trials about a year ago, so I am a new rider who does not know loads of things about trials history so far. In loads of topic everyone is talking about a style called TGS=Taps Gaps Sidehops, if I know it well. My question would be what is that style? I believe and hope it is something more than people doing taps and gaps and sidehops, maybe a style Can you explain it to me and show some videos please?
  2. are those yellow stuff stickers on the frame?
  3. no, the echo ( with the same spec) is on sale back in hungary for 450£
  4. My budget will go as far as 5-600£, so other bikes fall out of the range, and Zoot seems like a good choice for me. Probably I am not going to brake it, I am a beginner
  5. actually I am not that type of person who says " yay, I beat my record, now I jumped an inch bigger!" I just like to enjoy things, like casually. there is the other side of me, but that is the geek "I need 3 monitors" part. As I said, I would go more on reliability rather than lightweight ( my current bike is 10 kg and it is very light for me), what would be better: buy a brand new one, and use it in stock/small modification for a while, or get/built one and go with better parts? I would go with around 600 pounds, so it would be a new one with pads and postage, or go with a 300 hundred used one, change loads of bits?
  6. Hey guys Im planning to get a brand new bike and I have 2 choice: a brand new echo Pure 26 inch, front disc, rear Echo TR hydro rim, or a new Onza zoot from tarty. I would like to go street trial but: 1. I am not sure if I can do streety moves. maybe I will learn them overtime, but I am not sure how start off street trials with a small trials knowledge. 2. I am not sure if it is my way. I tried out some BMX and I nearly cried. They are short, high, uncomfortable, although I am sure i can get used to them How close is Zoots Geo to a BMX? I am not sure if it would worth the risk or not
  7. 1 ex professional, 2 good beginner and there is me, cant ride, and bike always falls apart. but having fun!
  8. that was the best topic on TF for the past weeks
  9. actually it will be the rim brake versions thanks for the help guys, i think i will go with them
  10. back in my home country. but I dont feel home here...

  11. there are some of us around Lisburn, that will be close for you, 4 of us to be exact
  12. is she 9 years old? bro, she is too old for you
  13. Probably it is just me, that I spent too much time on motorbike forums, that I got suspicious of these things I am aware that Adam does not want to trick anyone ( he helped me quite few times) but as a first read it is strange for me
  14. As a guy from a motorbike background ( if you wear your tyres backwards they get worn out 10x sooner) I am not sure if this thread is filled with a strange trick or with irony.
  15. I was expecting a girl.. but your choice! jokes aside, seems nice, altough I am not fan of brakeless stuffs :/
  16. It took me like a year to realize that you are Dez, the MTB-er, not December typed drunkly

      You are the 1st to get it right :)

      My birthday is in December too.

  17. the reason why I ask it because I had only 1 disc brake in my life. that I bathed in mineral oil thanks to a dead hs11. and one of the bolt is rounded so I cant change it. So I do not really know too much about disc brakes
  18. There is 2 reason why I do not do it 1. I do not have a steady and good income 2 I do not have a girlfriend they are beautiful! Just a question: why do you get a 180mm disc on the fourplay? ( just tried to write something about topic ) he has a point.
  19. Alright just as a sums up what i heard - its shit bro -naah, its awesome, it will be good - water bleed is perfect - its baaaaad i just go more confused
  20. Echo TR rim brakes, Yay or Nay?

    1. trials hoe

      trials hoe

      the one i bought used off here has never failed me...apart from the shitty bleed bolt rounded, get rid of that and it's all good

  21. If you will put it too forward, then you will feel it, that you wont be able to do anything on two wheel try it, try the best position for you
  22. For serious compriders it seems like a good and light choice
  23. ohh, so I should get mineral oil in it anyway :/ I try to keep away oil if that would be possible, too expensive, and if it goes wrong, then my disc will die again
  24. Hey guys I am planning to get a new brake, since 99% of the faults related to my bikes are happening because the worn brakes ( bought second hand). I have an option to buy an Echo TR brand new for 35 (full system). I did not hear anything about it so I ask for your help. any opinion or experience? anything I should pay attention? I am going to use them water and antifreezer bled, I have bad experiences with oil. Any special things about them?
  25. a personalized version just for you, a little crop on the right i did my best
