MONZA

thanks for your help. although i have been doing trials for about 5 months

i think i just need to get used to riding more thankyou

no it has just started to happen. the first time was yesterday when i learnt to hop around a lot more

ok thankyou but about 10 minutes after i have stopped riding my arms are perfectly fine again and they move properley without causing any pain

i have been riding for about 5 months though

latley i have been out on my trials bike a lot more (everyday) and my elbows and arms are really hurting after each ride. some times it even makes me have to go home early. Please can you help me because i dont know why this is+ i have been hopping around quite a lot if that helps. But my elbows seem to hurt so much.

I have been looking at the new monty 219 in silver/raw and im really interested in it, although my only worry is that it is 11kg. Would this weight affect me and would the bike feel heavy?

ok thanks but none of my friends ride trials. im always on my own

ok so i have been doing trials for about 5-6 months now and can do some things. For instance i can hop on my back wheel up and down things by pedal kicking but they are not very high+ i havn't progressed very much in this time. please help.

are echos longer than most bikes though?

can you suggest any good brand that i could possibly get second hand please?

would it be a good idea for me to buy the koxx yellow as my second bike. At the moment i have an onza rip but im thinking of getting a better bike. Is this a good idea?

ok thankyou for all your help everyone. i will get some new pads as soon as possible.

Im not quite sure what pads they are but they are yellow and i think they were called something like 'disco pads' and i got them from bikefridge.

yes they are set up square to the rim and i dont have a grind either.

the pads i have got on at the moment are brand new. do i need a softer compound pad then?

sorry what i mean by 'slipping' is that there is not enough bite and there not holding the wheel very well.

I have just put some magura hs33's on my rear wheel. I had to use an evo kit adapter so they would fit and i have just found out that they seem to slip quite a lot and i dont know why this is. Please help.

thankyou for all your help everyone

ok so at the moment i have an onza rip and i use my bash plate to get up walls and rocks etc. I am wondering how people cope without a bash plate. Please help as most of all the more expensive bikes do not have bash plates. How do you cope and get up high obstacles with out a bash plate?

This is my first post. Started riding recently. been riding for about 5 months. My best area to ride is the old Burham Cement works in Kent Medway area. Anyone know of or ride this area as well?
