  1. I think it was a short pitbull. Or something very similar.
  2. Nice one chris. Great idea aswell. Not every one has a mum/friend to follow them around with a camera. And you know what your doing as a bonus. Are they all the photos though. I would like to see all of them, including ones where people are walking the sections and things like that.
  3. Just takes me to a login screen.
  4. Can some one post a direct link please.

    Mono Trial

    Srewdriver, tyre lever and pliers. I have put a mulgrip around one to keep it there and tryed to push the other side in but it doesn't move.

    Mono Trial

    Yeah, I have new pads, so you need to push them in so they are flush with the caliper. But they wont go in.

    Mono Trial

    I have bought new pads for my Hope mono trial, and so I went to fit them, removed old pads and tryed to push the pistons back in to the caliper. But they wont go back in. I phoned hope and they told me a very complicated way to get them in, involving silicon grease, removing some fluid and was very complicated. He said it might of had to much fluid in it, but they come fully retracted so I cant see how that could happen. Has any one had this problem and/or know a solution? Thanks for your help.

    Riser Bars

    Alot of people use the monty risers on mods.
  10. I think it looked very nice in the blue. The only change i would of made is to remove the toxin label.
  11. Its where you ride at an obstacle and hit the front wheel into it and use this bounce to help you get up it. You can even use a front and back wheel hit.
  12. Downloading now. 1075 Vinco sounds very interesting. Are there any other geometry differences or is it just shorter? How are you finding the shorter version?
  13. If your going for a longer bike I would suggest going for the shorter 1060 option. It will be a big change. All of your techniques will have to change slightly. I changed to a 1060 control from a zebdi. It does take some time to get used to it. In regards to natural stuff, it really does depend on your style. I have ridden the control in a couple of comps and Im not sure which bike I prefer for natural. For bigger moves it has to be the longer option. Im about 5ft,10 inches
  14. He was doing those side hops to pedal at the bike show 2 years ago. Its like what bmxer's do on coping and stuff. You land on your forward foot and then let your weight spin the cranks and bike around the pedal on the object. Wicked.
  15. I definatly want more. More more more!!! He is so unique.
  16. Im only recently validated adam mate. I live in between aylesbury and oxford really. Chai I think you should come along.
  17. Its on June 5th I think, in brentwood high street.
  18. I will be there. Was good fun last time. Stuart said he is trying to arrange to get us a better area.

    2005 Control

    How come you have a Hi-fi ali? If you dont mind me asking? Is there no more Global?
  20. I think the rule states that the shoe must cover the ankle and thats it. So your probally right. A stupid rule because a shoe with a bit of material over the ankle offers no more protection or support than one without.
  21. I thought most trials specific shoes had ankle protection of some sort because of the biu rule.

    Got My Avid.

    I have short fingers. You know that. I think if you have a cheap bike then the avid should be fine (Y)

    Got My Avid.

    Sounds to me as if your a bit of a cock. I dont like cable brakes either, does that make me a cock?? No it means that I dont like cable disc's and I want a hydraulic one. I have a mono trial and I love it. I have used smithys and it is well good. To be honest I think they are about the same performance wise. Just try to explain to him that for his budget he is best off with an avid. If he want a hydraulic brake then he would be best to save up a bit more.
  24. I cant find them on the select bikes site.

    Lever Travel

    The problem is that by doing that you change the position of where the brake bites. e.g. If you adjust the reach reach further in then the brake will lock further in. If you see what I mean.
