Ive run a half link chain for the past 2 years and have no problems with it! Cant remember the brand but if your interested ill go find the tin and let you know (cost me about £15)

Agree... Ive had mine for a year and it was second hand of a mate who also used it for about a year... had no faults with it at all !!!

I could possibly make it... but i got a Drum and Base Event that night and work the following day Really wanted to hit Newbury as it used to be my old riding spot back when i lived there

Any you boys free during the week for a days ride? Ill give connor a txt as well.

well i aint working all next week

Would love to join you... nice lil 2 hour train journey and ride some of my old spots but i gotta work from 11 - 3pm Perhaps another time

I think its earlier than that bud, i started trials back when i was at high school so thats pre 2000... Cutting our chainrings down on our welded shimano cranks to make a bash ring and using the 22T ring as our drive lol

I run a 14 rear with mine. I guess it all depends what you find comftable? obviously there are a few people that ride a lower gear. Personal preference, keep trying till u find something you feel comftable with.

Ooh it sends a shiver down my spine thinking about all these old memories lol. Yeah me and my mate used to sit there watching Chainspotting, Tricks and Stunts, Down and Double Down all on VHS haha Love the way you describe the riding type as immense, back then it was bloody awsome! huge WOW! factor haha. But not the whole quality and level of riding is just inhuman at times Who would have thought Trials would have become this popular? Days of Sunday rides in london with Luke Edwards / Tim / Stephen seems so long ago (defently need to scan in the old pictures and upload them

Quite suprising how many of us have been riding that long and have similar influances for us to take up trials

Interesting thread... How peeps got into trials? Has to be the two Martins. With there original Tricks and stunts video... How long ago was that??? lol

yeah nice idea... i had one of my old pashley 26mhz frames sand blasted and powder coated in satin black £60 frame and forks (poor thing is now pink lol)

umm ride my stock koxx xtp 16 front 14 rear

What you want to do is sand down the affected area with some 60/80 grit sand paper to get the messed up paint off ???? lol ive never heard anything so funny in my life. Just wet and dry it using a 400 grade then 800 grade. Make sure its all dry before u even attempt to spray again. You should be able to feel the difference with you fingers!. One more thing, dont just flat the bit the had gone wrong flat around the area as well or you will end up with nasty little pockets like the moon lol Good luck Yeah im with you on the experiance :)But as you will know it will leave nasty scratch's which hell have to flat out to make it look pretty when its sprayed

Good stuff Connor good to see your going the way of the stock . Might try and get my arse to Newbury soonish as work will start getting quiet into the new year

Think i might be able to make it... just need to make some repairs to the koxx.

diesel will not light to a naked flame... it will only ignite at a very very high temp or high compression ! just use water stop being special lol

Nice ! i sprayed mine satin black but hell i aint got the balls to go lumo !!! haha fair play

ive been using water in my magura's for about 8 years now, never really had any problems with seals. Usualy find bleeding the brakes once in a blue moon with oil helps

lol this kinda thing really wont help you get validated... alot of peeps will frown upon this subject so prepare to get flamed lol, you brang this on your self i feel sorry for you dude -.-

Very similar to what you have put, very old friend of mine decided to huck of a big drop at break neck speed all very nice, looked great, one problem though... there was no trees but a nice big fence which he ploughed into. That isnt the funny bit though (well it was) but it was a electric fence to hold the cattle in. i can still here the screams now roflmao !!!

so reminds me of the old days

oh i so wish i didnt watch this now ive just eaten as well

Ive just come back to riding from a 2 year break, im 24 this year and really starting to go out riding on some of the bigger rides which i havent done for nearly 5 years. Only thing thats really changed is the level of riding my god some of these peeps are non human lol. Just stick with it and enjoy riding
