Trials Dave

the stand over height on the modern trials bike is so low now that i dont think it would make any difference, i dont think a moto style dip is required.

yeah ive been after having a go on one as im interested in getting one soon. anyone whos riode one or owns one please let me know what it rides like. cheers :lol:

yeah i would go for something like an onza t-pro. my mate has one and it rides very nicely. but i would go for a acs freewheel straight away when you get your bike. :P

i use maxxis high rollers. i like them because they are nice and grippy and also when i ride home they role really well. saves energy. hehe :turned:

the kyle hinchcliffe video are you talking about the one where the first song is switchfoot- meant to live for so much more? i only ask because ive been wondering what the song is so i can download is aswell.

ive got 50-50 between water and anti-freeze. never froze yet and ive left my bike outside etc. :P

hey up. i live in newcastle. theres plenty of us. usually about ten of us out on a good night. we rode a place called crook once which is a few miles outside durham. im up for meeting up for a ride sometime. give me an email etc. cheers mate :P

try www.supercycles.co.uk

yeah i agree. small technical moves were appreciated then.

yeah too rights. i hate the shimano rear hubs. got rid of mine soon as i could. the hope xc feels nice.

koxx browns. especially on a smooth rim.

cool. cheers for your help. a hope is getting ordered now. sound like the best hub by far...especially for the price.

yeah. the pair i got of you are excellent. i really like them. they arent the warmest but that makes you ride harder to keep yourself warm. i would recomend these gloves to you though as they are really comfortable yet still protect your hands well etc. (Y)

ok. do the hope and american classic hubs have the 'skateboard style bearings' as i call them or do they have a threaded axle with ball bearings and cones? i would prefer the skateboard styley bearings as they seem to be more hassle free. sorry about the lack of technical talk! cheers

the hope also dounds very good. i'll take a look at it see what i think. anything will be better than a shimano. when i replace this hub my bike will finally be shimano free!!! i'll get on the phone to tartybikes about the new echo to see what they say about them.

i was looking at the 2005 echo front hub. just because it would match my rear (haha) but i dont really know how good they are

my shimano deore disc mount front hub locked up the other day and nearly threw me over the bars. i cant be bothered to replace another axle in it etc. so i was just wondering which front hubs you would recomend, with a disc mount hub? cheers

it happens all the time but yeah no need to worry about it.

i think that i would probably go for the adament. only because, no offence to anyone with a hi-fi, but i dont really like the open tube at the front of the top tube.

i use hebo pro 8 gloves. they are really nice. but they are a bit pricey at £30

i use race face good 'n' evil grips. really nice in my opinion and a good compound so they last quite a while yet dont hurt your hands. they are quite thick aswell.

t-rex. :P

ive got a gyro targa. i paid £40 for it from halfords. so i can imagine you can get it cheaper somewhere else. it looks exactly like the gyro targa ( which is also an excellent helmet). there nice and lightweight with removable pads. i love mine. its the only helmet ive ever worn.

yeah same here. always have always will. i feel more confident with one on. i think you should wear one all the time. once you hit your head hard your finished.....for life!

dont be scared to go over the bars. thats if you still want to learn them after hearing about the damage you can cause to frame etc.
