Hey guys, Im heading to bristol on friday nite for the weekend, staying with some uni mates but im taking my bike so il go riding on sat if its dry if anyone else wants to go for a ride?

yerp. porthcawl is your main option, Its cheap as chips to get to on the train! Ok the nearest station is about 15 min ride in a trials gear but its dead easy and if i knew u wer cuming down im sure myself or someone else could help you out with a lift from the station. Gav.

hello matey, How old are they?? They look pretty old going on the brake mountings as the newer forks have had a single brake mount for ages now! gav.

hahahahahahahahahaha

sweet!

Wow, That was nice to see sum old riding, Was surprised to see this up but its all good,Nice one ivor, Just need to get that camra fixed now so we can put togeather a new nice vid!

hey, just saw the post, i could have picked u up but too late now, sorri. gav.

i doubt porter will be there either as hes at the national!

hey guys, Just poped onto the site to see the new redesign and saw there were sum mini vid clips on the right of the page, Tryed to watch one and it aint working? Everyone else in the same boat?

At the moment he has zoo bars on but not for long, Should have new bars soon but not sure which ones!

An honest reply from me is that anyone who is riding a 1080+frame who jumos on my ashton all say wow this is what a trials bike should feel like. I think at the moment 1065 is a very perfect trials length for all angles of riding and allso the frame is super strong, Mines going on for about 9 months now and ive smakced the hell outa it and its still holding up strong as ever!

To get a nice strong pucker wheel build normally takes atleast a good 30 mins! Allways nice and easy with new rim/spokes/nipples. Once you have built alot of wheels it just like riding a bike!

Thats well nasty stuff, suppose to wear a full face mask, Special gloves so it dont eat through the gloves and overalls/apron. Be careful matey.

No offence but i find that is taking the piss a fair bit, Trials is never gonna grow if people like him are gonna start chargeing for it but im sure most people with haf a brain will relise going on a big ride would be just as good!

sounds good

hey,One thing it mite be is you could have stripped the thread on the rachete ring and this could have been the start of it.

Il defo b there for the 3rd time ever, pretty slack me thinks and maybe il do sum riding while im there for once! Just hope i still aint stuck with a crap front brake and get a disk before but no doubt il be stuck with the mag.

i got a set out in the garage. My mate carl pinkham got a set and a week later i decided to get a set, used them for a few months for trials. If you look up a very old mbuk january 2001 and turn to the very first search for a trials star and on page 61 theres a pic of car pinkham gapping off a rock and if you have a look at what back brake he was using it was a hydrulic starbike brake! Only problem with them was that you had to bleed them lots as they lost a tiny bit of fluid where the little piston cums out to close the brake! Gav.

"Thats not a good thing!" Slightly harsh there!

ive offered to pay p+p before now for them to send it back but they refused my offer! lol. so a top company!

Ive posted a fair few wheels in the past and they have cost me around the £6-£7 mark for 1st class.

That for sure sucks big time, I would think there should be something else around the corner though as this has been a massive event for years and cant just be gone like that!

Did you come to porthcawl? I was out and didnt see anyone apart from all my mates i was out with?

Hey guys, Ohh a porthcawl ride, Not been many down this year, Well il defo be out for sure. I shall make it out for 11, Where does everyone want to meet?

Anyone get a direct link to the divx code i need for this to play!
