wonderfull.

Again dont know why people are slating them. Got my stock frame today £145 from tarty, and i can honestly say the welding and construction looks pretty neat. The price is in the name its so ''simple'' nothing fancy, got a top tube down tube stays etc and thats it , job done. And about all this chainstay crap ... until someone who actually rides one snaps there stays .... who hasnt mashed it constantly doing sidehops you cant really coment. Seems like people are very quick to slate cheap frames or ones which are not made by a big brand. Rant over
-
Very nice indeed.
-
Powercraft one brought from Aldi supermarket with 10 disks £10. It gets the job done.
-
5 months, chainstay will snap!
Dont intend to land on my chainstay to much hopefully, anyway not too worried i know it was cheap made frame when i got it.

Got my new chain and trial-tech cams today! Fitted them making sure the chain was tight at the point when the cranks and freewheel were at there slackest point. Its worked good tension all the way round the pedal stroke and the same after a couple rides! cheers for the help guys
-
I'd move to cams with teeth, mine was doing the same thing, i switched, problem solved.
New chains tend to stretch more, older ones shouldn't. Watch out if you're running a front freewheel as depending on what angle the cranks at it can alter the chain tension.
Just ordered some trial-tech cams with the notches. What do you meen about the front freewheel and the angle of the cranks? sorry im a bit slow today
cheers for the help though guys much appreciated -
They are smooth. But they 100% havent moved as i marked them with tip-x
thinking it could be a new chain needed, ive had that one for a few months and might be stretching? -
Just a quick one, im new to mod and have been riding a stock with vertial drop-outs for god knows how long.
Ive got my bike built up with snails fitted, ive also marked where the snails meet the frames snail cam bolts so i can see if there has been any movement. A ride or so later and the chain although not completly slack is a bit looser than i used to have on my stock and you can see a very slight curve in the chain from a side on view. The snail cams or wheel hasnt moved at all, just wondering if running snails tends to give slightly less chain tension and is this normal for a mods chain to be like this? It rides fine by the way.
sorry if this is a lame question just needed a quick answer to put my mind at rest cheers for the help guys nice one.

-
Mindblowing bike! Where did you get the frame from the only place ive seen them that sell them are, trials-uk and i will not ever buy from there again?!
Got it from trials-uk ... took 10 days to arrive, not ordering from them again. But it did turn up as you can see
-
Looks awesome, does it ride as good as it looks?
First proper ride today, but first little play i had on it i was loving it, real flicky.
-
That was just fantastic, combination of big moves done with style and originality.

Ive always ran an ENO, but building my new mod have been on a bit of a tighter budget brought a Tensile, keep hearing good reviews all of them saying they are strong and reliable... in my eyes thats more important in a freewheel than a few more engagements.
-
Awesome riding. Liked the music went well and editing was alright, the highlights for me were that monster side, and 5:04 side hope over that wall must have been a bit on the scary side. thanks for this, as im just starting mod after stock its getting me a bit excited about riding
-
Will be there, my hand on a camera not a bike though
see you there guys -
Just a quick one, im in need of some new parts for some Hs33's. I need the plastic cup and seal which sits inside the leaver along with the spring. Does anyone know if i can buy these somewhere? Otherwise im looking at some new leavers. Cheers
