  1. Yeah it would only stop scratches. But if you used like 3 or 4 tyers, it might work. But, I havent tested it, dont intend to either. Dont realy hit the downtube much. Plus the downtube on my t-lite is oval shap, so in theroy it should be stronger from vertial impacts.

    20" Tyres

    No, you can't. But have a look at the sticky fingers, from supercycles. There the closest thing you'll get to them. ^_^ Mind you they're crap.
  3. Cable-tie an old tyer to it. ^_^
  4. If its that badly rounded, whatever bodge you do, it isn't going to last long. Your just going to have to get some more cranks. (Even though you cant). Damn trials and it expensiveness! (Y)

    "real" Trials

    At last a topic people can get their teeth into. Theres always different variations of biking. When I first bought a BMX i went out and bought a big heavy dirt jump bike, as i thoughT a bmx was just a bmx! But then you have all the differnt variations! Race, street, vert, dirt jump. but then, in dirt jumping, you can use 26" mountain bikes, with great wacking suspention. These can be used for race, freeriding (which lets face it is EVERYTHING) Cyclocross. But in cyclocross (i think thats it) road bikes can be used, in road biking you can get (time) trials bikes, triathlon specific bikes, and the standard road bike, with different gearing for differnt types. I could go on for days but the point i'm trying to get across is all bikesports are conected, right at the hip! They all have there variations, and those variations and different bike sports. When I got my trials bike i hadn't a clue there was: Street (BUI style) natural (BUI style) Street (UCI style) natural (UCI style) freeride trials I say 'style', because thats what it is! just a style, one person somewhere decided it was fun to ride without using the rock ring etc. Sure, maby a UCI chap can sidehop up something X hight, but a BUI chap can sidehop X hight plus the distence from his wheels to the top of his crank arm. I prefer BUI as i like to, say get up a wall, if i cant get up it UCI style, i wouldnt just say i quit, i would use other parts of my bike, hence BUI. You use the turm 'real' alot, its impossible to define that word in these turms, could you define a 'real' cd player. Would that be a realy big expensive pure noise machine, if you only listend to music on your way to work, i dont think so. These differnt styles just show how creative riders can be, and it shows that we dont just stick to rules set by friends and others. WE DO WHAT WE LIKE! AND IT MAKES US HAPPY! :) :D :D :D :) (Y) :D
  6. got a bike just like that! T-lite's all the way! Looks good. Is it me or do those forks look REALY long?
  7. When i had my raiser bars they snapped, its probably becasue it came with a buget bike, but i went onto flat bars and they seem ok. :mellow: :blink:
  8. My local bike shop had some white maggies in now. They look realy nice white! :closedeyes: :P
  9. Cool, looks loads better now, works aswell!. Working pics would be realy useful though. Are the new design more reliable? Becasue this design is absolutely PANTS!
