  1. f**king nice one man, these are GREAT vids.

    And I want to ride the glen someday, be a goal of mine.

    aye, get up there my friend its brilliant when theres loads of us. (Y)

  2. Just thought i would let people know and also ask who will be going?

    first competition of the year at addingham hopefully will be as good as the Fun trial we had at the new quarry in oakworth we used last month.

    There will be a food van there this time (Y):) so there will be hot chocolate/tea/coffee and also a few butties the be had too. that was the main concern from the last event that most spectators just said they could have done with a buttie van.

    Waynio.........................

    yes im coming, cant wait, cya there. :D

  3. Hey evryone, me and a mate had the thought of grinding a diskbrake, but were not sure if it would work.

    Would the power / lock increase?

    Would modulation be affected?

    Would it even work?

    We thought as disk brake pads are a much harder compound to rim brakes, perhaps it wouldnt have the same effect, and as the pads are so close to the disk, maybe they would drag and catch?

    If anyone has tried this, or if you can see any more pros / cons, please comment.

    Thanks, Alun

    nah, i wouldnt bother if i was you.

  4. My mates GU mod has been stolen, it was stolen from his back yard at 8:30pm today.

    spec

    frame: Gu Mod (no stickers)

    Forks: monty xlite

    brakes: front and rear hs33 05 (also has a RB booster on rear)

    Bars: plain black flat bars (unknown brand)

    stem: echo hifi

    wheels: rear profile laced to ronnie (black) silver rim tape on both

    front t-pro rim on shimano disc hub (black)

    tyres: creepy crawlers

    stolen from the wibsey,bradford area

    keep an eye out because my mate is devastated

    what a bastards that is. i feel well bad fir james. all his money went in to that. i would drive round everywhere looking for that. remember sharples bike when that got robbed, that ended up in halifax or shipley. too many bikes are getting robbed now it is very gay and peopl know that they are worth a lot. p.s. i wish they took dicks insted.

    :angry::angry::(

  5. i have just got my profile wheel build from tarty its perfect except the bolts on either side are tight i can get one of the bolts to come out but not the other please can some one tell me how to get them both lose

    lmao, what a bugger that is. that happened to ma mates wheel. he kept at it for about 2 hours and he eventually got them loose together. i think you have to try tighten them to the same tighteness on each side''if u get me'' and then loose them both slowly together. hope i helped lol

  6. I just broke my front Magure Louise... :( So, as I now need a new front disk brake, I was just wondering which was the best-value-for-money? (Cheap-ish) I haven't really got much money at the moment so I will have to save up.

    Si (bambi_3) said I could get a Magure Julie for about £50. Where? I can't find one.

    Thanks a lot,

    Sam (Y)

    hi there if you want to by something in that price range i would get a avid. dont get put off them because they are cable because the are really strong brakes and alot of ausum riders use them.

  7. would anybody think this would be a good upgrade? been looking at just a frame for a while now. i would have to use all of my T-Pro parts. worth it not worth it? thanks

    hi there,

    the t-pro are so much better than the t.mag. well i dont know what to say the t-pro just ride better.

  8. Hi I am running a hope trials disc on the front, but i have come to a problem; when I sidehop and do certain other moves I seem to be afraid of landing on it as I have bent it too many times, so its stopping me going bigger and costing me more money. (N)

    So I was wondering what you think front maguras are like as i haven't run one for yoinks! and is it worth changing.

    Cheers Charlie. (Y)B)

    hello mate,

    keep the disc brake they are good disc brakes,if you really want to stop hitting it, just say to your self, you are paranoid and you can do this.its all in the mind i am telling you,stop worrying and get comfident by doing a small sidehop. i have a hs33 for the front i am deffinantley going to purchase a front disc, and i sidehop tot he left aswell.

    p.s. if you have a spare hs33 you could use that to grow your comfidence then swithch back to disc. (Y)

  9. what are your highest drops? mine is 7.5ft but anything higher than that is scary :lol:

    my highest drop was 7ft and i am not proud because it is not a hard move to pull off.lol.

    i could do alot higher but i dont see the point . i only dropped off it to get everyone to shut up lol

    any way i prefer to do gap downs ont to THIN walls

  10. Hi,

    i am thinking about buying a front disc and just wanted some opinions on the magura brake and the hope trials mini.

    thanks (Y)

    the new hope one is amazing and they are £130. well worth the buy. also my mate has a magura ouise and that is also impressive,your depends on how much you are willing to spend, i think you will be ok both ways,

    samy

  11. My Uncle wants me to get into it, How much roughly would a Trials Moto Cost? im looking here at 125 to 175cc.

    depends what you are after. my mate sold a cherco 250 for £1400 and it was in good condition and it was 3 years old. have a look on biketrador. go in to google and search biketrador and have a look. my favourite 2 are beta,montesa,cherco.hehe

  12. Right who here likes family guy and who here likes simpsons and witch greedy people like both :-

    If there is an aditonal cartoon / program feel free to say

    thanks

    p.s the reason for this topic is that i was bored

    p.p.s FAMILY GUY OWNS! ^_^

    lmao. why the hell did you make a topic aboit the simpsons the most pointless topic i have ever read. if you think you are going to get validated by writing a topica about ltlle yellow people you have another thing coming. sorry mate i cant stop lmao.

  13. I have recently put a crack in my t-pro around the headtube area.

    After realizing that i did not have enough money to buy a new frame i have had my t-pro welded to hold it together. However i am now concerended about my warranty as i have only had the frame for not much longer than 6 months.

    will that fact that i have had my frame welded affect the warranty on my t-pro?

    I sent a e-mail to super cycles about my frame a while ago but have had no response.

    Any help is appreiceated (Y)

    yes it will onza are very strict with warrenty. my onza cracked and i had a competition coming up and i wanted to weld it , the only reason why i didnt is because if i did weld it i would not of been able to claim off the warenty.

  14. Well to start off I'd just like to say hi.

    Anyway, I'm starting trials, and after about a month of riding it on my street bike I'd like to get a proper trials bike. As it says in the title which would be better to start on?

    Oh and I'm not that well off at the moment (N) so I'm leaning towards a mod...

    Thanks

    u dont need to get a mod bike because u are beginner. my first bike was an onza t-raptor which i baught from here and i sont regret it the are easy to move around.hope i helped (Y)

  15. hi people

    i was just wonderin how high you people could side hop afta a year of riding, just to see if i am any good at the moment

    my highest is 33" which i done yesterday

    cheers

    well i didn't side hop because i only have just been introduced to the move, but after august when i started, i practised and practised and i got 36/37'' so i was happy with that.

  16. I have 8/9 months worth of riding and i can only side hope bout 15"... I find it very awkward and hard to get the height combined with a sideways motion..for some wierd reason i end up going backwards aswell :S

    (Y)

    if so get closer. not too close you will hit your pedal.you can get alot hire than that if you put you mind to it.trials is all in the head, i used to sidehop to the right and i am right foot and i was crap so i made my self switch side and i amd hitting 37'' fromm 21''. hope i helped buddy.
