Cheers everyone. just trying to finish a "how to" thread for you guys and girls who own disk brakes, should be worth a read when its done. Cheers, Jake

Hello to all, My name is Jake Miller, iam 19 years old and have been riding Trials on and off since the age of 15 with a few a mates from Street Furniture Trials. I would have to say my riding style is rather streety mixed with conventional style riding. I have ridden many different Trials setups in my time and i'm currently riding a Leeson clear 660 frame with Kona P2 forks, a Magura Marta hydraulic disk brake on the front, an Avid Ultimate with Heatsink pads and a carbon brake booster. I use Koxx Tryall Yourself bars and stem which seem to suit my style of riding. Wheels i use a Hope Bulb on a Sun Rhyno Lite rim for the rear and the front i use a Hope XC on another sun Rhyno Lite. To be honest i don't like my Hope Bulb, it skips too much so i'll probably change it for the Pro 2 Trials hub. I'm hoping soon that i'll be able to join some you lot on some London rides as i've never ridden Trials up there before. Looking forward to reading your posts. Cheers, Jake

hahaha sweet! i remember the days...

but then if you watch bmx and skate vids, most of 'em don't wear helmets, perhaps for them its "uncool" to wear one but then trials still has that geeky stigma still attached to it though. i never used to wear a helmet when i first started out and i very rarely do now, but iam trying to get in the routine of wearing one.

i find that music distracts me from concerntrating especially if im wearing earfones. but if there was music being played somewhere i'd find something chilled like hiphop or jazz really nice to ride to, makes my riding flow abit more smoothly.

high roller all the way

custom made leeson Mmmmmmmmmmmmm sexual, oh guess what i already own one

i like that alot. looks like a good allround do-everything thing bike. top notch

You don't necessarily go to the gym to build muscle, you can go just strengthen what muscle you do have and build on stamina. I reckon physical strength does play a big part really and in that i don't mean having huge muscles, you can have huge muscles and still not be very strong, its about using what muscle you have and optimizing it aswell as having a healthy diet is where you will achieve getting the most out of yourself.

can't go wrong with an xc on the front really, not really worth getting the pro 2 unless you have a pro 2 on the back and want something to match.

hey guys and girls, thinking about riding London on the 1st may (bank holiday monday) just wondering if anyone would be willing to come? i'll probably drag a few of the folkestone bitches up aswell, should be a laugh. cheers

planet x tickety boo's if you like skinny soft and cheap grips

I'm suprised this topic didn't get much attention. Maybe it's abit too much for the littlens to understand.

i think the whole test thing is a good idea, it would certainly get me validated anyway, as im no doofus when it comes to intelligence and good common sense.

meh just another echo, no different to any other one i've seen.
