I agree, these tyres rule. I have 1 on the back and crazily used it for street today but it helped me sidehop 3" over bar and touch bump from a bike and a half away from a wall. I dont have any experince of the front though, but i do know they are well soft, they feel like a slow rezzay compound, slow rebound! I wish i was sponsered by a tyre company, it would rule getting new tyres every month! :S

This one is my favourite: RIDER: Me PHOTOGRAPHER: Ad101 (Adam Storey)

No it isnt Neil Tunnicliffe, does it look anything like him! As i said they are done by trialsworks and i dont think Craig or Neil rode for ZOO! at that time. Ben Trinder is the guy who breaks his chain, i think thats one of the worst stack i have. He seems to stack it alot though because he tried to make a fake ZOO! 26 of him and right at the start he gaps off a phone box to a wall and his brake completely slips!! It was insane!!

HA! I like the way its looks like it has already snapped. What is that, a 30mm BB drop with a MOD stem. Thats gave me an idea, how about a 26" stem (flat) on a 20" that has a BB drop. How weird, did you make it by any chance?

I saw Jamie Pedrosa riding with the new global forks today. They look mint and so original AND they are super light, although they dont look it. They would also be pushing it though because i think he payed something like £110 for his but it is probably worth it. Ali C maybe/will be able to give you a better summary than me.

24:15 thats crazy talk. I dont think i even ride 18:15. Firstly get a smaller chainring, then get a smaller cassette, then think about changing gear. What are you using, a rock ring?

Snap at head tube!! T-master though, is there any difference (thickness?)

Man i cant believe you havent broke that, i always snap that little screw in about a weeks riding but its sweet while it lasts. I also have a fully working 8 speed cassette and gears, well kind of, gear 2 is 4 but cant be bothered to change it. Single speed is a waste of money in my opinion because i think we should all have a fully working bike and if you dont you cant ride in BIU or any thing like that, so it may be a bad idea. I must admit i would probably prefer single speed with all the less hassel but with the amount of riding about places i do i probably would just want my 8th gear back, although i can only use 7th...ahh shut up. (Y) Single speed is most probably great but for REAL riders, stick with gears.

I used to use this really gay pokeadot red and white padding stuff with loads of black electricians tape...but it got ripped to shreads evertime i landed on it. Tried to fix it several times but i really shouldnt of bothered. Now i tightly wrapped an split inner tube around it with 1 cable tie and more black tape. Its so much better that i feel like a complete dick for not doing it sonner. Although be careful it doesnt become too fat and rub on your tyre. (Y)

Didn't know wether to put this is sites,vids and pics but i suppose the mods can change it if they want. Right, i've had the BikeTrials2 screen saver for about 2years!!! now and its become gradually more and more out of date. I really want a new one. Does anyone have one or know where i can get one or even tell me how to make one because staring at them old x-lites is doing my head in...no offense. Steve

I was wondering about gear ratios the other day and it seems everyone with a higher gear looks so much smoother than people with low gears. I think everyone should learn to ride in a higher gear because then theres more potential but i use 18:16 (i think, 4th gear) so i'm a bit of a hypocrite. I'll start using 18:15 if i'm not already! :(

Get a steel sheet and put some holes in it and then put it over your mech hanger. Its a bit of a mission but its works really well and dont cost or weigh much! :) Ad101 did it with 3mm thick steel, m8 thread through the steel and old mech hanger (then big new bolt), he lands on it all the time :( sorry about 'ter blur... steve

I have two by trialsworks. Mainly of that guy with longish blonde hair. They are all riding BOA's which now look so weak and out of date. 1. Oldest 1 with a really gay sound track 2. Fortune Faded

Cheers Ben, Im sorted...gonna buy 1 off tart they have some in apparently

I hope so. Nothing for me to worry about really, £40 for some new forks is nothing. Are there any forks which are really flexy, which MAY give you even more bounce on bumps and more spring on hooks?????

What the better size tyre for my t-rex??? And where can i buy it chepest from...chainreaction is £28 for the 2.7 and £25 for the 2.5. Im going to get the 42a compound as well i think??? opinions please! steve

By a minute i was like WTF is up with all these spins, lol. Going proper old school are me Mr.Beridge, i like it. Nice to see trials spitting of in all directions so there can never be a true master of the whole sport (well i hope not anyway). So cool moves in there, so are you pleased with yor 24"? do you still have your 26"? and are you going to stick with 24" form now on?

Oh my... the stacks regenerated my usual self.

Killer vid Ben! You look like you have really improved and have learnt alot more recently! ;) Sweet bike, colour, moves and switch btw. (Y) Loved the huge drop gaps and the front to back on the rail. :lol:

I cant believe someone shacked it!! it took ages to download! Nice vid Tom, I'm going to have to try some of them lines next time i go. Really liked the up at the library, the huge sidehops and pedalness. UBER Smooth, lol I'm thinking about gapping from the top of the library down to the second/end of the wall, but ill have to see how i feel and see what it looks like. Could be a pinch situation.

I keep bumping stuff because i dont like hooks because they seem so harsh to my forks but my friend thinks bumps are worse. Whats your opinion?

A tyre tread pattern tatoo, that looks like a skid mark....i like it, alot. But what tyre would you have??? Maxxis, try-all, Michelin...
