Like this if you are stuck, bet your local bike shop have the right tools for this and could do it for about£20.

I thought you were supposed to drill and tap the bolt with a counter threaded hole, screw in a new counter threaded bolt and crack it that way?
-
Also Manchester area. Where by are you in the north west?

@niconj nipplegate is all on you mate, all on you!

Isn't it called 'mountain bike trials......'.?Just saying like.....
-
Was good, not as good as the water cycle in my opinion but hey, still good. Did think the music was a bit dull, better than the national express in wee day out (sorry, am I allowed to say detracting things about Danny?) I personally agree with @onzatpro09, Chris just rides the mtb naturally and does a good blend of trials and trails, for me this vid, like the rest of Chris's vids was just fun to watch.

Old new rider, limited winter space, practice what?
Daviesdt replied to DeersSlayer's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
Fat bikes are made for low psi, used to run low psi on my motocross cross bike in the mud, get better grip. Street trials is quite high psi due to the need for low rolling resistance and sharp edges, if you ride rocks and stuff though natural trials, you may want to drop the pressure a bit so the tyre moulds to the surface a bit better, it's all personal pref really. If your arms are getting pumped from gripping, either fat bike or trials, you are holding on way to hard, try and relax and loosen up slightly, will improve bike control. -

Nice colour on the flow. Might be best to have the tyres pretty firm as that's how you need to run them on a street trials to stop pinch punctures so to my mind, practice with how you will use them. I run mine at 3 bar (whatever that is in psi) but think some guys run them with more. -

Yeah, my German is a little rusty I'm afraid! Looking at the vid and yrs, I think maybe I need to do a short tight manual to 90 before hopping. That sound about right?
-
@niconj I can't 180 to save my life, can only seem to manage 90 degree, any tips given you been sussing this out recently?
-
Good vid. Nice one.
-
Music was a bit..... European for my taste but Agree, good vid. Gorez usually puts decent stuff out.
-
Good spot if you are a local, could do with a few more winter riding spots like round the country. Good riding too, who are they?

@Bottleneck callipers leaked all over my pads and rotors from my echo tr's, hadn't seen that much use either when they went, may have been a bunch of faulty seals have been in circulation from the factory, thankfully the guys at tarty bikes helped put things right for me, not had any problems since. Sounds like you are having some bad luck if all your brakes are going. Just get some new seals put on the ones you have now and swap your pads and rotors, not much else you can do cept grin and bear it.....
-
Nice one Jacob.
-
Sketchy moment at 1:45, bet you were glad to avoid a second trip to A&E! Where is this location? It looks like a good riding spot, only hit I get is Burnley but that doesn't look like it.... Good video btw.
-
Hope his mate holding the end of the rope genuinely likes him then! Seems a bit 'heath Robinson' if you ask me!
-
Unsure about the safety line, to stop a full grown guy plummeting to his death you need a line tied off to something pretty hefty otherwise you will still go over. Even then, how do you get back up and avoid suspension trauma? Need some kind of rescue plan in place though all that may have just plain escaped them he may have just had a rope lashed round a mates waist and it would have done jack sh@t! Be nice to know though, pretty insane, I literally had to force myself to watch.....
-
Pretty sure he nearly goes over at about 2mins 20 as his helmet cam makes a major wobble over the wrong side of the rail.
-
That guy can spin and G turn like a f**king trials demon.

Thought the amount of video on here were starting to slow down, it's pretty damn wet and cold here (Manchester), time to embrace the mud and stick to MTB for a few months I feel!
