  1. big fan of the levers, ive got them on mine and i love em. trialtech parts allllllll day.
  2. just on the topic of this, the material which is from what i can gather, injection moulded carbon fibre- carbon inside plastic pellets- is actually really strong. magura just seem to not use the appropriate material thicknesses where its needed+ some questionable lever mechanics, which is a shame as its giving the material a bad rep- i think it couldve done really well.
  3. Glad you’re getting along with it dude.
  4. The reference to their original band is class too.
  5. For any muse fans out there, I feel like this is one of the best songs they’ve put out in a long while. Maybe I’m just a sucker for their earlier stuff, a lot of the new stuff didn’t grab me as much. But I’m really into this. What’s your take
  6. I have them, just no front hub for it. So sticking with these till I can afford to fork out big dolla for a new wheel.
  7. took the wrong bike to the skatepark. Wasn’t as terrible as I thought
  8. took some paint thinner to the Cleep2. worked like a charm. too much red to be stealthy but i like it. pro2 is noisy also. front brake undergoing maintenance.
  9. took a few snaps of my 500cx. love this thing. incidentally, anyone know what the best canon mirrorless to go for would be? starting to look into them.
  10. One of my Coust pads snapped in two while riding, material separated completely from the backing, didn’t realise that it has no tabs, it’s just glued on. Would superglue do it?
  11. personally for me it needs a trialtech tensioner to bring that chain back up, that would complete it for me. but it looks sweet
  12. ill be there. went to radfest this year too. coming from the leamington/coventry area. see you there.
  13. trialshop.pl. a polish trials website, gives you the option to change to english. prices are good, shipping is good, parts they stock are also good. good alternative just in case theres a part you cant get from the usual shops. i got my trialtech Carthy rim from there when everywhere here were out of stock.
  14. facebook is cancer, but like mentioned the tarty rider finder has been really helpful. theres a few other rider pages too, admittedly some just end up being sale pages. also, instagram. i met most of the people i ride with through instagram. i know its not your thing, but if you solely use it just to find riders, could be a good thing. i feel the biggest thing here is that hoping youll bump into someone/ scouring the forums is now the outdated way of doing things- as sad as that may be to some. modern social media seems to be where its at. youll get a lot of nay sayers, especially on here, but seriously, id have never met 1/3rd of the people i have without it. wish you luck sir. im travelling up that way soon, ill give you a text if you dont mind riding with me
  15. most of the newer onzas are really good starter bikes. i can speak for a large portion of newer trials riders who all started on one. i have a friend who started on a ska, was a good little bike. good to get the basics down. a very different geometry to the zoot though, the ska is more of a traditional comp geometry, where the zoot is more street. (more stable on two wheels, feels shorter, slightly steeper and higher front end) but, the ska is a perfect lead in bike to then change to something more preferable down the line after the basics are figured out.
  16. took this in london. could not be arsed to PS the umbrella out. wide lens is wide. do like a good Samyang...
  17. Pretty sure he’s on a grey one now, maybe if you ask really nicely for his old one...
  18. intro is a little bit imaginate, but a lot of the lines in this are seriously creative. Defintely one to watch.
  19. Well im glad I got to ride it before it went
  20. nope, trialtech sports/ rockman spades on the 24" front end. i did give carbon a go but i snapped them.
  21. stupid question, surely. always make a cheeky vid
