  1. Yep quick simply fix and a increase in brake power on leaky crossovers or worn seals soon as theres a air leak boom stuff kicks in.
  2. Slime or tyre weld with water and antifreeze mix never suffer a blow out or leeky seal a gain works a treat
  3. I have used water and can say it works well . but i would only do this if you dont have a bleed kit .water will shorten the life of your maggies also water will seep past the seals quicker than oil. U can use washing up liquid in a powersteering unit on a car. but this does not mean its a good idea, they use oil for a reason i would not buy a maggie that has been used with water would u
  4. Sadly I dont live anywere near u , im getting old myself . find it cool never too old respect keep trialsin
  5. I live in bradford on avon just outside trowbridge. not been riding trials much lately poor weather seems to be raining for ever, not to sure about Good spots to ride as not rode trowbridge much
  6. Yea i no what u mean ,some learn it fast . Some it takes alittle longer For me when i first started out, i thought i would never get it. Seemed inpossible ,two many things todo. Like many i did alot of hopping on the back wheel when i started out backwards ,sidewards ,360 in circle you name it on kirbs off kirbs. I went hopping mad . Anyway after all this i still could not hop forward lol. Then by luck one afternoon out on my bike. a fellow trials rider with some year of riding under his belt. Was riding my local To me He was the don, pedal kicking up stuff. off stuff spins just made it look so easy. also the fact i had never seen it in the real only on you tube . He adviced me not to hop to much anymore lol learn the pedal kick without the thought and need to hop, it worked. Some times just being inspired by some one else is all it takes never quit never ,never give up . Practice and enjoy your self is all it takes as they say rome was not buid im aday
  7. In my opinion the best way is to learn good brake control .rolling without trying to hop . Ok your on your bike from stand still or trackrdstand with your good foot forward power the cranks lifting the the front wheel in to the air, then pull the rear brake. Finding your balance point is key, once you have done this say as many times as it takes or you like. In this order bring front wheel in to the air. To your balance point, pull your rear brake take a mo then let the front wheel drop slighty and then lighty release the rear brake at the same time as u power your cranks slighty .yep the rear wheel will roll and bike will move forward ,front wheel will rise then pull your rear brake sharpish.repeat this seqeunce as As many times as you like with practice will become easy . You need to learn this if you dont pull the brake in time the bike will flip. the simply Idea is a pedal kick without ahop. Other things to think about is how you hold your brakes Alot of riders when they first start out squease' The brakes with all four fingers or a full hand. Try and learn with single finger or two ,youcan move 1 finger faster than four fingers. proberly the Most important , does your rear brake lock/work good? you need to be able to trust your brakes. Hope this helps agood film to watch is mastering the art of trials with ryan leech proberly better to watch than listen to me haha im old
