  1. i was thinking of asking to do trials as a sport for my gcse. but had the same problem as el curevo. my pe teacher was very good and was interested in motorcross but hes gone to live in australia. ill ask my new teacher but he'll probably say NO! :angry:

  2. i went to sheffield it was amazing best final ive ever seen. (well done BOU great ride!) marc vinco was awesome, cleaning most of the sections but without an engine. he should of been on at the start as he got the crowd very excited :P . shame about the qeues to the toilets :(

  3. defo get a t-bird. i had one when i first started trials and thought it was great, didn't have any complaints i just upgraded the brakes from cable to hs33 and it really improved my riding.

    hope this helps scott` (Y) its a good beginners bike`

  4. Ok looking around new members chat i dont see mutch topics that are there to help. Just alot of topics asking for it.

    So why not make a topic for new trials riders that shows them what tools they need for fixing and mataining there bikes while been out on a ride .Whilst also trying to find the best and most affordable products to do it with.

    Im hoping people can add to this topic and show other tools as im sure i will miss some out.As i ride mod am not sure what kind of different tools you need for stock e.g casset tool so stock riders please add to what i miss out.

    Here we go

    Right first off;

    Allen keys : Used to set front and back maguras. Loosen/ tighten rear wheel bolts. And many other purposes on your bike.8mm often sold sepretley this does crank bolts. Around the 6 pound mark from your local bike shop (LBS) look out for park tool.

    Pump : preety obvouis. Pump up inertubes handy to get ones with psi measurment showing to get just the right tyre pressure

    Puncture kit : Find hole in your tube and cover with patch with glue etc provided. Around 3 pound from LBS

    Spoke key: This is used to true front and rear wheels when buckled. As i am no expert you can look up how to use a spoke key on your wheels on the internet around 6 pound from LBS.>> here <<

    Magura bleed kit: Allows you to get the best performance from your hs33. You can bleed the brake with water or magura fluid. I belive water gives the pest feel and cheaper to blled with as it comes from the tap.

    You can purchase this from magura for £25 or from heat sink for only £5.

    Chain tool : Used to shorten or add links to ypour chain to get the right tension around 8 pond from LBS

    BB tool : To tighten or extract you bottom bracket around 10 pound from LBS

    Crank extracter : Used to take cranks on and off. around 6 pound from LBS

    Spanner set : 15 mm used for pedals. 8 mm used to dismantel magura. 10 mm used to tighten chain tensioners. And many other uses. Around 20-30 pound from halfords.

    I Hope other people can add to this :ermm:
