I used to always use 2 fingers for the front and rear brakes, even when i did XC mountain biking. Recently i have started using 1 finger on the front brake but still use 2 for the rear because my brakes are rubbish and need a good sorting out to be honest. I can defo see the advanage of using 1 finger though.

I had this problem as well and thought that the BB was wearing out. I tightened my cranks and it is alright now, so it must have been loose cranks.
Btw, does anyone know where i can get blue loctite from in the UK?

I'm nearly 29 and getting back into it after a 3 year break. Its never too late to get into trials, all it takes is hard practice and determination.
-
I have tried it once and did not like it that much, I think that grinding your rims is a much better idea.
-
I have 170mm on my T-lite which is fine, so another 5mm is not going to hurt.

"Thats one of the nices bikes ever made!" Is it f*** lol
now this is one ugly bike>>>
That just looks like a kids bike.

I've just worked out that the new freewheel will work after all, it was just a little bit confusing. I'm gonna try to get the old freewheel off using alot of brute force
-
Yeah, you should go for it, it is a great starter bike in my opinon.
-
I get my front inner tubes from halfords and my rear inner tubes from Supercycles. Never really had that much of a problem with my inner tubes, expect the front tends to punchure more than the rear.
-
You sure its for left hand drive and your not just screwing it the wrong way onto the cranks? Quite possible the lockring will be facing the pedal.
As for removing your old freewheel, take it apart on the crank so your left with just the center on the cranks, then get a angle grinder and grind two flat spots on either side of the center making them both flat, you can then sit that part into a vice and hammer the crank arm.
If I was to put the new freewheel on the correct way, the lockring and 4 notches would face the bottom bracket, but the ratchet mechicism would be reverse to normal.

My T-lite feels light, compared to my T-pro that is.
-
I used to get that all the time, until I found out how to tighten the chain.
-
I still can't get the damm freewheel off. Also, the new freewheel that I brought from Supercycles won't work on my bike anyway because it is for a left hand drivetrain, which is very odd.
-
why didnt your local bike shop have a freewheel tool ??
I think it is because the bike shop only really deals with mountain bikes, so it does not have a freewheel tool for removing a BMX 4 pin type freewheel. I've seen a tool on CRC that might do the job.

i have just taken my acs off but it int all off :$ i also need help
My is exactly the same, I got the chainring off, but the black part is still attached to the crankarm.
don it .un screw the lock ring (all the ball berings will fall out)then once thats undun and off put the bit whats left in a vice and unscrew it by pulling on the crank.hope i helped tear
sorry about the spelling
Not even the bike shop could get it off.
-
Thats a very strange breed of trials bike, looks good anyway.
-
I took my bike to the local bike shop last week to get the old freewheel removed, but they said that they needed a certain tool to be able to remove it. I was thinking about getting this tool and doing it myself, does anyone know what tool I need? I have a ACS claws four pin freewheel on tensile crankarm.
-
I think my T-Lite is unpainted. I don't think it would make that much of a difference to the weight though.
-
You can spent any amount of money if you are really passionate about something. It is better to go for the best bike, because then you would never really have to upgrade it in the future.
-
It is entirely up to you at the end of the day. Both are very good online shops to shop at.
-
I am right footed, and I am more comfotable side hopping to the left anyway.

Not sure what it rides like, but I don't like the look of those pink rims
