  2. Top best brakes of 2018

    Those stats, even if true mean nothing in the real world when they're using it to make brake levers that get knocked about and hit the floor, I've seen more breakages and accidents caused by Magura's plastic levers than just about every other brake combined in the last 20 years, who even buys modern HS33s? They're shit, all their products went downhill since they replaced aluminium with plastic (it's plastic with a fancy name) like their turbo pad wear adjuster (a screw).

    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.

    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

    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    i feel the biggest thing here is that hoping youll bump into someone/  scouring the forums is now the outdated way of doing things- as sad as that may be to some.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

    Hey everyone i new to the group....

    I am 45,ride motorbike trials and recently picked up a second hand Zoot to practice balance, LOVE IT lol haven't used motorbike for weeks ... But my question is my Ten year old has got right into trials in garden with me, at minute he using his mountain bike which obviously not ideal . Looking on flea bay i have found a Onza Ska which looks pretty nice, would this be a good starter for a Ten year old? I got no idea about geometry etc...

    Thanks for any advice 

    Matt

    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. :)

    20 years later and the bike only got slightly bigger.

    Really like this dudes moves. Enjoy that he's pedalling during lines too, its hard to make that look good.

    Wee things like the backwards hops down the stairs to side hop, side hop to wedge-front to back and the gaps down to front wheel swap 180s were cool.

    Really liking the look of his bike. Its making me want one!

    Pretty sure he’s on a grey one now, maybe if you ask really nicely for his old one...

    Ahh, when my hair was long, spirit free and 5mm meant nothing. :P

    I remember the Ghz coming out and having 380 stays and being blown away. The double seat stay design was was ahead of its time. 

    Anyway, back on topic. To make a vid, or not to make a vid?

    stupid question, surely. always make a cheeky vid
