  1. for streety trials i'd say the high roller rather than the minion, alpine bikes in aberdeen has them for 23.95 and they can send them out to you if you pay over the phone, alternatively bikedock have them for about 25 once you include postage
  2. site looks pretty good, the frames not bad either by the looks of it
  3. i found that the best way of locking out the mech is to take off the circlip, take out the metal plate witht the tensioner screw, take off the black plastic washer, take out the spring, now put a magura washer that normally goes on to your v-brake mounts then finally put the circlip back on. now put the mech on and tighten it up nice and tight so it doesn't move i did mine this way and i still get 6 gears to work properly i have a shimano 105 short cage mech by the way, they're about 30 pound and pretty solid
  4. well i had a day off work today and it was nice and sunny so i put a little video together of some riding videos about 2mins 20 secs long and about 9mb enjoy http://www.eengoedidee.nl/videoz/bike-tria...oveltrials2.wmv
  5. hope c2 brakes are alright, its a closed system so the lever travel can be adjusted like with a magura but with all closed hope systems they get really pumped up when your using them. but yeah they've got pretty good power and since they're hope you can pretty much re-build the brake if anything goes wrong
  6. Toxsin #1 frame - 4 bolt mounts 100mm top and bottom Fatty R forks - v brake mounts 80mm

    Toxsin 'two'

    looked a bit odd when i saw the frame by itself, but now seing it built up it looks pretty sweet, how does it ride compared to the toxsin #1

    What Bb

    the fsa platinum pro dh and the truvative gigapipe dh are probably your best bets, they're pretty strong and not overly expensive

    Cranks?

    as everyone else has said, the length difference will only have an effect on pedal hops etc, but if your used to 175mm cranks you should maybe just stick with that size and maybe try middleburns, they're very strong and stiff cranks used by loads of trials riders and also middleburn will warranty cranks used for trials so if you are going through cranks alot then . . . . .
  10. you really have too much spare time man think you should go see a doctor bout that, it doesn't look right
