  1. Horace Andy Sugarman Three The Budos Band Eddie Bo & The Sould Finders Horace Andy is excellent roots/dub reggae, and the other three are really great deep funk. Definitly worth checking them out!
  2. To be honest, I find the spelling, grammer and punctuation on this forum to be quite a bit more advanced than on ObservedTrials.net.
  3. I think Zoo bars would be alright on a mod. Tons of people run try-all 29er bars on mods, I used to run 30" bars on my mod. It's all personal preference, I prefer the 26" bars im currently running though.

    Third school shooting this week. Messed up usa
  5. There is def. no need for anything bigger than 160 mm on a mod.
  6. Middleburns or Bonz, you wouln't be dissapointed. These companies have nice warrantys too.
  7. Koxx Browns are deffinitly only for ground rims! They might be the bees-knees for ground rims, but for a smooth, get the tried and true Plaz CRMs!
  8. Trials NEEDS REAL PARTS and FRAMES. I'm very sick of all this chinese made sh!t! Some of the stuff may be decent, but it's still made in China which means that: the factories that make the products are allowed to emit tons of toxins into the environment (China doesn't have very good environment laws) and the workers make shit while Deng rakes in thousands. Trials needs more companies like Heatsink, rider owned and make very high quality products. More companies like Leeson, Fresh Products, etc. Trials needs to be more like the bmx industry with higher quality goods at midline prices. You can get a great S&M frame (US made) for $350-400 while a Koxx frame (made in China by ping pong) costs $1200 a frame. I don't think anything really innovative will come. Better parts are a must in my opinion. Sorry for my rant.
  9. I don't think you'll have too much of a problem, I would only be worried about the ink though! Paper is just cellulose, last I check McDonalds' ice cream is made of a cellulose base as well! Good luck.
  10. Good luck, with it! I love t-f
  11. They're NOT chrome, they are polished. Chrome is a steel finish. If those rims are chrome then they are going to be m()htfukcing heavy.
  12. Basically what the topic says. I'm stuck on which one to get. I've heard tons of good reviews on the Hope Mini (I don't think they're in production anymore but I can still get ahold of one). I've heard the mono mini isn't as good as it sounds. I've heard many mixed reviews on the Monotrial, some love it some hate it. BTW, its for a mod bike. Money really isn't a big deal, but it would be nice to save some by getting the mini or monomini. -Ben EDIT: I am NOT looking for an AVID or any other MECHANICAL disc brake, please, I've tried them and hated them!

  14. Haha, how do you know the exact date you started? For me sometime in late 2003. Also I will quit on July 3, 2018, even if I want to continue riding, just because.
  15. Ive had my dx32 for over 2 years now
  16. Congrats to the British team. Too bad the US hasn't had a rider in any of the BIU rounds for a while.
  17. Monty made the first trials frame without a seat
  18. Have you ever ridden one? Best mod bike I've ever ridden! The geo is almost the same as the short koxx's.
  19. God damn, you guys make it sound like once you hit 30 your dead! 20's, 30's is young. There are tons of mountain bikers and some moto trialers in there 60's+. Look at Sonic Youth, all the members are in their mid 50's. They F##king rock.
  20. My bike is almost deng free, except for the fork. Only 8 months and it is starting to creak! But besides that my bike doesn't have many chinese parts.
  21. Yeah, Monty really tries to rip people off, especially because they have the most economically priced bikes. In the US, you can get a complete x-lite for $1000, damn good deal if you ask me.
  22. Those are the best trials pictures I've ever seen!!!
  23. Why should they completely redesign a proven design each year?

    Koxx Team

    Man, koxx is such bullsh..it... Kenny should have a perfect frame at his riding level. And I do believe the accusation that Koxx might make him tweeked frames so Vincent can win. Any company can send some rough sketches and geometry info to a chinese factory and have a frame made.
