  1. just wondering how many 26" vids has craig lee scott made?
  2. nah, but i dont really see the point in it. its only the pikes that do it.
  3. theres a picture on tarty bikes web site on 'riders' and it is a inspired 24inch
  4. i would personnally go for the T-Pro because its cheaper, same geometry as the koxx (i think) i do like the T-Mag because it is a good design and i have not heard of many snaps but i dont think it is worth the money martin
  5. hope mono trials, i have tried these and think their mint, definitaly!
  6. I like black bikes. but colourful bikes look good when their color co-ordinated. yes the T-bird does look like the t-pro but i think they are made from different materials.
  7. if you learn to tuck when side hopping this will bring the bike up higher, watch vids of sidehops in slow-motion.
  8. never ridden one and not quite sure what BB rise it has but the Koxx XTP R should be quite strong.
  9. you could get a koxx caissio because marc is quite small, this may suit you and help you to ride 26.
  10. depends where you live, i go to hampshire bike trials club (HBTC) you could check www.biketrialsuk.co.uk, i think it is this but it is the bike trial union site, it has all of the clubs in england, includes contacts. when i started comps i didn't do to well but this is my second year and im in intermediate now and im in 2nd, you rapidly improve if you keep at it (Y)
  11. wasn't aloud to go (Y) would have loved to have gone. love to see some pics B)
  12. you could get the tuff guys, their £45 pounds from tarty bikes but i dont think you will be able to get a very wide range of forks with that budget. hope hubs are good i think but i have heard of them skipping just as much. they have got an awsome service. drilled rims do save weight and look stylish (i think), their not meant to make a rim that much weaker either.
  13. DUSTCAPS, honestly you dont want to spend money on them things, save it because there not worth it. they will just get stolen.
  14. think ashton uses a magura or try-all. not sure though.
  15. 04 ti, is this a monty you are talking about or somthing else? if so go for that, if not go for a zona, my mate has got one of these, their sweet. but to be honest it should be your own opinion, not what everyone else thinks.
  16. yeah, brake boosters do improve your brakes, i have an RB. it is what i would recomend!
  17. if no ones done it yet i could probably do it on TV.ISG.SI martin.grainger@hotmail.co.uk
  18. it looks nice and ive heard it rides nice but ive also heard it is very long.
  19. YES, get a helmet because you fall of most when your starting out (at least thats what i found out), it doesn't matter what it is or what style it is as long as it protects your head its fine (Y)
  20. why not IRC El Gatos, i run them and i like them, but if not the El Gatos i would go for the Maxxis High Rollers (Y)
  21. i havent got paint shop pro 9 but i recon it would, i thnk you have to change the balance or the negative.
  22. Don't know if their any good for trials but there is the 'proper' cassette bmx hub , prolite and demolition cassette hubs, they are all bmx but not sure about the axle size the prolite is avaliable from; Cycle Sport LTD Demolition and Proper hubs availble from ; alans bmx, custom riders or winstanleys, and any other bmx shop probably. (Y)
  23. are they drilled rims? (Y) thought they were a new idea?
  24. Martin

    Wow

    Saw that mod trials frame in BTM trials mag, looked nice then, but now i think the frame is just a bit to high compared to echo, zoos ect.
  25. Disks can hold better in the wet, unless you get wet specific pads or run a grind. i find that it is just something that is really expensive, and could snap my frame and is easily bent in a crashes, i prefer to run a magura with brown pads, a grind and an RB booster
