  1. Never ridden either but the Kenny Belaey (wow I learnt how to spell it!) Promodel or the koxx levelboss (not the 2005) I ride a barracuda subway hopefully soon to be replaced with a martyn ashton or if I can't get one from the ashtonbikes website, then an onza t rex! (frame) Oh I also like the BT Raven 6 it is shagadelic!!! (Y) :) :)
  2. Yes I agree entirely, however if he put a water/mud proof stud in his frame, it might keep some of the crap out.... (Y) :)
  3. Either dark grey or black, whatever suits you sir!!!! (Y) :)
  4. Azonic World Force for definite, I think they sell 'em at www.chainreactioncycles.com foir about 20 quid... I got some they've lasted nbearly six years EASILY....
  5. Right, I have just replaced my control tech stem (130mm long - 5 degree rise) with a new stem (70mm long with about 40 degree rise) however I still feel uncomfortable. Is there a cheap stem about which is around 90mm long with about a 30 degree rise? My budget is around £20 (or less) if possible.... PS; I am ruinning azonic world force bars (no buldge for clamp (Y) )
  6. Cheers all you guys, I think I'm gonna start trying it WITH a kick, because I am no where near strong enough yet... I will try it without once I get a little better... :( :ermm: Cheers again
  7. Bout 30psi in my front DMR Moto and 20-25 in my rear Holy Roller :( :ermm:
  8. I am attepmting it on a knee-height wall... I can rest my pedal on it too which makes it sooooooo much easier hehe :( :ermm:
  9. I did have a look before I posted this thread, but nothing unfortunately... I may have to start a new topic up soon about what level people are at, and what tricks they can do, records and stuff.... un less someone else wants to 'cos I can't really be bothered...
  10. Oh dear.... lol It's just learning it would really improve my riding, because then I would be able to get onto rails etc. easier... and make bigger runs on some local walls.... :( :) If anyone else could help, please feel free to... :ermm: :) :D
  11. I have recently been attempting static hopping to back wheel with my front wheel on the obstacle itself... Do you pedal kick when doing it as I cannot do it without... By the way I cannot do it with either but I was wondering whether you are meant to... Thanks lads... :( :) Great help... :ermm:
  12. Discs work great in the wet... I have one on the front and just a xtr brake on the back, but I don't get the back end wet ;) :) :)
  13. I can't believe they don't sell them at CRC... oh well, try going to www.biketrials.com and product reviews then search for it... It might show you where you can buy one... Failing this try google search :)

    Its just the ashton I will have to wait for and the ashtonbikes site say they will have it in soon... I have emailed them and rang up but no reply... I thought I should get the raven because I have heard many good things about them and the reviews on www.biketirals.com are good (apparently it has good rear wheel balance) but I've heard the ashton is very srtong and very chuckable... The hope headset and bb is tempting me over the edge though.... :) ;) The guy said its in very good nick and he's ridden it for a few years... I'll ask him then I'll decide Thanks lads... More opinions/votes would be useful... :) :P
  15. Yer go for it mate, if you can't get one off that guy, go to www.tartybikes.com and get one :)
  16. T-Birds are £250 from www.tartybikes.com :) Splash out an extra £120 and get a t-pro.... Or buy one off ebay... :) ;) :D :P :D
  17. Out of those too, although I don't really know, I'd say go for the try-all.... :)

    Flat Pedals

    I would personally get the V8's as they cost you much less unless you have had a bad experience... I have had a V8 COPY on mine for about 5 years (2 years dirt 1 year in a shed and 2 years trials...) and they are fine... Factory Freak or summit... :D
  23. This maybe isn't the most interesting or amazing thing to all you guys, but for me it's good... Today and yesterday I have- Rear wheel first hopped off a 5 foot wall Rear wheel drop off (lurch) off a 3.5 foot wall And I'm thinking off hopping off the funbox at my local skatepark (which is nearloy 6 foot...) I also lurched repeatedly across my local skatepark (about 25 metres) Just wanted to share this with you and see how you think I'm doing... By the way I am 14 and I've been riding for just over 18 months... Feedback appreiciated - Thanks dudes!!! :D (Y)
  24. Yer it's cool a DMR single speed kit is basically a single sprocket which replaces your cassette to go single speed (N) :- It should be cool, I don't see why not...
  25. No that's not what I meant, however I am running a rear DMR single speed kit, and when I am not pedalling the rear sprocket doesn't spin... But that's what I thought that if I pedal backwards the freewheel and rear cog would then stay still... <_<
