"Frank Saunders, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said: "We are confident that a severe storm will affect Britain on Sunday night and Monday." " Strong winds of up to 80mph are expected to strike the exposed coastal regions of England and Wales from Sunday night." since when is cov coastal? see you tomorrow?

Try some of the new coust pads. Medium grind. Perfect brake. On or off. Can be loud though but I've had problems with vee brakes breaking alot. But i have a really strong braking grip. Magura always died too. But the echo stuff has been great and the racing line stuff looks like it would be strong and good hopefully. If anything I can't believe anyone is still using vee brakes for trials. If you want to ride alot of natural or street

i watched all of dragonball and Z and GT was awesome, thoroughly recommend it if you have alot of free time! this was at uni, not as a child

strategic dabs can be awesome though there are some crazy ones about

Ive always associated bite with the viciousness of the brake, and hold is how well the brakes holds, forwards or backwards. just me?

ive found on the onza ones that the tensioning screws seem to bury themselves into the block that contacts the frame and the hub, very annoying as it is a pain in the arse to tension, but doesnt really move once its set

why all the hate guys? G is a talented rider, and a seemingly nice chat, just because he beat his bike in his last video doesn't mean everyone has to be a gobby b*****d to him. as for the video, if you are planning on riding rocks brakeless, I feel you need to work your way up, these were always going to be difficult rocks to ride brakeless, maybe try some rounder, larger ones so we can see your fluidity once more? don't be put off G, keep at it

thats a shame, they were next on my wishlist

are the trial tech ones anygood or do they also die?

ooo Kyle is coming!

thought that was your best riding vid yet! crazy music though, where do you even find it haha?

few people have said that they would be up for this, and its been a while since there was a big coventry ride. PM me for my number if you fancy coming along, there are a few new starters coming, good lads, could do with advice on parts etc. plan for the moment is to meet up at about 11-12 can meet at the station if you there are some training it. if not we can meet wherever cheers, ash

mine has been great for nearly 2 years now. cant fault them besides their weightiness compared to other forks. I have had trial tech for a while now too, got my 1st pair in hs33 mount only they are second hand from ali c and prawn, big riders, and i rocked them for 2 years. then bought another pair to replace them. and where they cracked last time they have smooth welded. problem solved? hopefully. but i love these forks, they are very stiff which sucks for taps, but im running high bb now so pedal ups is the preferred method. so not really a problem now. really recommend the trial techs, they have seen some shit. the inspired are good too. this is coming from a guy who went through 5 pair of forks in a year once! several urbans and killed zoo forks in 3 days! but tbf i was running a 203 bb7 on the front...

red walls at 11 facebook myself or ben j hynes for directions if you get lost B15 1HN

20″ – 'Mod Bikes' The first purpose made and commercially available trials bikes were manufactured by Montesa[3] a mototrials company and were based on the modified bmx bikes that riders had been using. As a result of being based on BMX bikes, the rear dropout spacing is 116mm. These 20″ wheeled trials bikes have become known colloquially as Mod bikes. It should be noted that some mod bikes have a 19" rear wheel to make room for a bigger tyre, but the overall tyre diameter is similar regardless of the rim size, so this is mostly important as a compatibility issue for spare parts. 26″ – 'Stock Bikes' Early mountain bikes were well suited to the trials riding and so a separate class was introduced for them. 'Stock Bikes' used to refer to a 26" wheeled mountain bike kept in original or 'stock' condition, i.e. not modified like a mod bike. Stock classed bikes were required to have at least six working gears and a seat. Now however, this designation is used to describe any trials bike with 26″ wheels, as current 26" trials bikes look about as similar to mountain bikes as 20" trials bikes look like BMXs. Historically stock bikes all had 135 mm spaced dropouts to take a standard mountain bike rear hub. There is a subcategory of Stock trials bikes, sometimes called 'Modstock Bikes', which have 26" wheels but have horizontal dropouts spaced at 116 mm, similar to mod bikes. Horizontal dropouts at both spacings are becoming more and more common in stock bikes as they eliminate the need for a chain tensioner, making the bike lighter (The chain is tensioned by moving the wheel backwards in the dropouts; vertical dropouts are designed to hold the wheel in one position only and therefore require a separate means of tensioning the chain to accommodate wear).

LOL

C'est tout à fait normal, Mr Hermance est grillé à Taiwan. translates to This is quite normal, Mr. Hermance is blown in Taiwan this cant be right surely lol

that is the reason 20"s are referred to as mods modified bmx if you look HERE you will see the direction things look to be going

ahh of course, shaun. well whatever

looks amazing! more pics please! not sold on the gold cranks though a weight would be nice too
