  1. Myself, Martin Ingram, Paul Turner, Adam Spendlove, Spencer Bumstead, Luke Mulroy, Andy Ball, Luke Walder often ride southampton in the evenings. We arrange it on Facebook, "Hampshire Trials" group.

    Hi mate. I've requested to join the forum on FB a week ago but no response yet. Please give them a nudge lol
  2. S'all good!! :) trials bikes don't tend to have gears. They don't really need them and they add weight!! Also, what I found when I first got my Phase with gears on, the chain can jump making for quite a nasty surprise when you try to pedal kick or put any major power through the drivetrain!! It just makes everything less complicated!! Not only that, it looks better single speed!! :P

    This is mine just after I'd put the single speed stuff on it!!

    Link doesn't work bud :-( I will defo keep the single gearing in mind after I've done abit more on the bike lol
  3. Pretty standard Phase setup!! :) they're great starter bikes!! I loved mine!! Bit of advice though, get rid of the gears ASAP!! You can convert it to single speed for about 30 to 40 quid depending on what parts you go for and how you of it!! Part from that, they're great bikes!! Ever thought about water bleeding the hs33??

    Forgive me being behind but why do I need to get rid of the gears? Never tried water bleeding :-/
  4. Got a second hand MAD Phase 1.3 26'' bike lastweek. Will be doing Street Trials with this after a 12 year break.

    Here's the spec of the bike when i got it:

    WHEELSET - Alloy trials rims built onto Formula hubs.

    FRAME - Professional MAD team design alloy 7005.

    FORK - Chromoly.

    REAR DERAILLEUR - Shimano short cage 7 speed.

    SHIFTER - Shimano TX button shifter.

    HANDLEBAR - MAD trials spec alloy oversized bars.

    STEM - MAD trials spec alloy oversized stem.

    BOTTOM BRACKET - ISIS spline.

    REAR BRAKE - Magura H33s Hydraulic brake.

    FRONT BRAKE - Tektro mechanical I.O. disc brake.

    CHAINSET - Suntour duro trials.

    TYRES - Wide section trials tyres.

    So far, The rear brake needs bleeding (waiting for service kit to arrive) and then maybe the front disc pads need changing? what pads are recommended please?

  5. Hi guys.

    New to the forum and getting back into Street Trials after a 12 year break.

    I know in an older post there was a recent meet in Southampton but was wondering if anybody fancied hooking up again next month?

    Would like to gain more confidence with other riders.

    What y'all think?
