  1. Those mounts are for people who's rim is too wide and can't get the pads far enough away. Genuine coust pads are 10mm so could help a little but ideally your only proper solution is a wider trials rims.
  2. Small video I put together from last Sundays comp a Hook woods. Had a great day and a big thank you to everyone envolved in the running of the comp. [media=]
  3. Fairly sure the Ultimate lever's barrel adjuster doesn't thread into the lever body?

    If your on Facebook mate join our Hampshire trials group, loads of members at various levels and a good place for you to meet riders local to you. http://www.facebook....51876548219260/
  5. Have you check the following? Is the wheel out of dish? If so you could be putting the wheel in straight by eye using the horizontal dropouts, then when you put some power through the wheel it shifts in the dropout so the hub sits straight and the out of dish wheels causes it to be of to the side? Is the frame straight, just because it's new / not that old doesn't mean it'll be straight. Judging by the quality of most trials frames this wouldn't surprise me. Are the brake mounts welded on straight / square? Would be worth trying a different wheel and see if the same issues arise, this will help to identify the issue.
  6. Looks really nice, the frame anodised? if so it'd be easy to remove those graphics without damaging the orange finish.
  7. Really rate my Maxxis Swampthing. 960 grams, nice and stable at low pressure and pretty good against pinch flats despite being single ply. Super tacky compound so good grips although wear rates quite high. Had a Big Betty and was ok but rolled around a lot at low pressure and didn't feel very stable + ripped quite a few bits of tread of it.
  8. I bath bled mine with water the day I got it and have had zero issues, now going on 4 months old. Just remember you need to back off the hose connection to the lever half a turn or so. Then just bath bleed like you would a previous years version.
  9. Sold to normal customers (ie you and me) not OEM (direct to bike manufactures for fitting onto complete bikes)
  10. Hs33 with four finger blade (no postage charge + you get the brake clamps ect (sell on ebay for £10 all day, + they take paypal and don't charge for it) No
  11. If you thinking a Magura rim brake lever then I doubt it would work, think about how far your Magura rim brake pads move per mm of lever travel then how far your disk pads move with the same amount of lever pull? If however your thinking about a Magura disk lever then yeah it could work, a Shimano disk lever could also work as they both run on mineral oil.
  12. I run mine with a try all mod stem, 150mm x 30'. I'm 5.8'' and it feels perfect for pure trials.
  13. Dan Jones = The most under rated and nicest guy in trials Really enjoyed that video mate, keep up the good work

    26 Or 24

    People seem to really love the 24'' Big betty tyre and I don't no why?. I had one but never got on with it, always felt to weak in the side walls and rolled about while on anything of camber. Adding more pressure and it lost it bounce / spring. Also the weak side walls caused a few pinch flats + managed to rip 3 lumps of tread of it some how. Running a high roller at the moment which is ok but heavy and the grip could be better, might try a Swamp thing next. If Conti could make a 24'' de kaiser then I'd buy one tomorrow
  15. Best video I've seen in ages, so much control and an effortless style
  16. I've used them before and they were very reliable. Order a pair of Try all bars and got them in four working days. They also take paypal wich is handy
