Well done , was that post just to let the very few people who couldn't work that one out for themselves? i think one of the first things you notice about it is that, i think most people on here are so used to reading the word "Onza" that they notice it for themnselves! thanks for pointing it out mate! i can sleep easier now!
-
I'd Take someone with you who knows a bit about bikes and where they crack / snap have a look at the bottom of the frame around the bashplate, to see if there are any bigish dents. Good luck mate! Mike!!!
-
I don't think there is, mate i've looked before, they're not too big. like Matt said i'd try supercycles or onza
-
Ok cool nice intro, don't worry about the lack of skill, everyone has to start somewhere, even CLS was a beginner once, (i know it's hard to imagine but...) Well good luck at keeping to the Rules this time, just make sensible posts really, and don't say pointless things. Mike!!!

when you bleed it, if the fluid is dirty, it's always best to just flush it through with water a few times, then fill it up with blood...or just add a little bit of anti-freeze into the water and keep it in Mike!!!

i'm really into big gaps atm, and also i like nose-hopping i can only do about 5 but i'm practising all the time. and i think and decent drop-off higher than 6 footish seems to be the thing in a lot of vids. and drop-gaps sound fun, i've never actually done any, but they look good and sound phunkay! Cool Topic Rob Mike!!!

Chris i'd actually give your wrist a rest for a week or two, you'll probably do it some seious damage, and won't be able to hold a walking stick when your old He's not a qualified doctor for nothing, perhaps you should just leave your bike to sleep for a couple of weeks Mike!!!
-
cool sounds fun, i think the reason your "in the minority on here" is because i think lots of the people are young riders like 14-18 and are still in whats classed as 'Full time Education.' So how many pallets do you own? i've got about 6 in my back garden but they're all in very poor condition! need to get some more soon but i go to an Industrial estate near me when i want to do crates, there are loads of crates there, litterally thousands because Wicks backs onto it Great fun but i need to go there on weekends or in the evening which is ok cos there's a spot light which comes on and provides great light for us and is great fun! Mike!!!

it's a cool game though, played it about a year ago, spent hours on it really addictive, but old, and has been posted up here many times before, try searching before you make a new topic, (no offence meant that was suppossed to be a constructive comment) Mike!!!
-
Not sure about one day but maybe one week to perfect it. Mike!!!
-
yeah how did you do it, make sure you have the proper allan key, don't use one that fits but moves a little, thats why problems like your occour! let us know if you get it off. Mike!!!

If your not planning on keeping your bolts (which i don't recomend you do if they're chewed up) you need to get a small hacksaw, and make a deep cut from one side to the other, then get a flat screwdriver and turn it like a screw, if this doesn't work, then i suggest you roughen up the edges with a file or something and then use a pair of grips or something to hold it frimly and then turn it. Good Luck Chris Mike!!! Edit: if you still have no luck still get a power drill and if there's room put the head into the chuck, and tighten it right up as tight as you can the the run the drill (make sure it's in anti-clockwise mode) then defo get new bolts!
-
yeah like Andy said, if you get a spongey feel you've probably got a little bit of air in your system. do the pads hit the rim when you've only just pulled the leaver, or do you have to pull it quite a far way back before they touch the rim. if you have to pull it back quite a way i suggest you slacken off your T.P.A and then loosen your mounts and move the cylinders closer to the rim then tighten the mounts and alter the T.P.A to suit your prefrence. also how warn are you pads? and when they come to grip the rim do they come in flat or at an angle to the rim, you should set them to come in parallel to the rim. Hope to help mate! Mike!!!

Well basically... we'll use a wall for example, you ride at the wall, lunge, or bunny-hop onto the bash, and then use the same method that you would usually use to hop around to get ballance (like little hops where bot wheels leave the floor at roughly the same time) only a lot more vigorusly to get distance from the wall, practise this, (be careful not to pull the fron up too high otherwise you'll slide off the wall and seriously damage your Frame) then you once you feel okay at this and can get about 1ft from the wall, you pust the bike forward whilst in the air, and apply the back break, and then bring yourself up inline with the bike and backhop in order to keep your balance, then your ready to do your 900 backflip off the otherside of the wall Hope this helps Mike!!!

i've got my leavers set up so they're really compfortable when i'm leaning slightly forward. Jonas what did you do to your wrist? how have you coped not being on your bike for so long? i was gutted when i found out how good trials is and wished that i had started it a lot lot earlier. well I hope your wrist gets better soon Jonas, and i'm supprised at how many other people share my problem, thanks for the many responces chaps... Mike!!!

hey i've ridden the older T-Rex, which is so so so nice to ride, and i've have a short go on a Koxx levelboss i'm not wure what length, but it was in really poor condition and didn't like the look of it one bit, it only had a back brake, but that too had a good strong feel about it, so i'd got for a T-Rex (the new one) or a the new Zoot is out which looks awsome. also i think the KOT MS2, the Ashton Justice, and the Onza Limley look amazing but i've no idea how they ride hope i help Mike!!!
-
Hey i was browsing the Onza Website when i came across This I personally think it looks sweeter than a drunken sugar mouse roling in sugar after swimming in treacle. I can't wait for them the finnish doing a few modifications to it and release it, it looks slightly simular to the T-Pro, looks about the same length too. Mike!!!
-
oh right yeah i reckon a mod would be better than a stock, are you going to be seling your T-Raptor? how much are you looking for is you are? but i'd almost definatley go for a mod over a stock, i was considering getting a stock but i whent on a levelboss and realised it wasn't for me, and decided i was just going to get a longer frame like a T-Pro or a T-Mag or a Zoo. Good Luck with your choice mate and i'd probably go for the longer one as you will probably adapt to it quicker if you've been used to a stock. hope i help Mike!!!
-
How much are the Red ones? and are they much better than an ACS claw? which is what i'm currently running. Mike
-
I don't think that your height affects it too much, i've seen really short people on bikes that are about as long as them, and also i've seen tall people on bikes like the T-Vee and T-Bird, so i really think it's up to you, shorter bikes are easier to bunny hop on. Hope this helps mate! Mike!!!

Maguras aren't really that hard to set up, they're even easier if you get four-bolt mounts. when i first got them i had the same worry but theyr'e actually really simple. get the magura mini-serbice kit, and you could get your L.B.S to show you haw to do it possibly. if not just ask the people on here. the mini-service kit is around 20 pounds, but you can get away with a large syringe (needs to be around 30 - 50 ml) and a small length of tube which fits tightly onto the end of the syringe, and onto a special bleeding bolt, here I have a spare one if you have trouble finding one i'll send you it. if not they're about 1 pound from most places. so really i'd go for maggies, they're much less hastle than you think, and are well worth it. if you do get a second hand bike if you can't find any second hand maggies, you can get the from Chain Reactions which is the cheapest i have found them. good luck with the bike mate!! Hope to help Mike!!!

oh right cool i've tried that and it does'n hurt when i poke it, infact it's starting to feel quite a lot better, but i haven't been on my bike for about 4 days which sucks, but my mate has just got his bike back with a new BB fitted so were out on saturday to do some real good riding (hopefully) if not i'll still have fun, which in a way is one of the most important parts when out on your bike. thanks so much for the advice guys i guess it's just Bruised or sprained. Mike!!!
-
personally i'd go for This -05 T-Mag it's a great bike and looks awsome! but if your new why not get a less expensive bike just incase the small possibility that the sport is not for you? Good luck with your bike mate! Mike!!!

CraigLeeScott is also really quite amazing at Natural. Mike!!!

Mike!!!
