    Lol

    Whats weird? There all red...?! Whaaaa..... Edit: Oh wait i see, its all about the time of the last post.
  2. Bit battered, but hey its all still good something "Koxxy" about it too...
  3. Lol, first thing i noticed was Daz (silver zona) is wearing £130 Y3 shoes for trials....."if you've got the money". Still pretty cool pics, all the fancy camera work on here sometimes makes others look bad - but these arn't too bad

    Ahhh Dilemma

    Reasonably high bb stock ?
  5. The a2z adapter will work with your horizontal dropouts, hard to explain why but i've got one on my jump bikes which has horizontal dropouts and its all good Basically it'l move with your axle as you push your wheel back and the lil' adjustable arm in the top right corner of the adapter should, with the adapter at the right angle, sit against the frame fine, stopping it from moving forward/down. There abit of a biatch to set up but i think they hold in place after very well, only problem i can imagine is backwards force occuring with trials use as there isn't anything to stop it moving backwards eg. hopping back from failed backwheel attempt and holding the backbrake to stop you flipping would put the adapter off completly. Someone with a T-lite combated this with an arm from the adapter to his mounts, think its still on the first page on bike pics or maybe second.

    Good Vid

    Haha, definatly been watching Manifesto. Some nice precise and spinny moves and all round pretty cool riding, but the start with all the repeatative clips of the same thing ticked me off along with the song at some points.
  7. He couldn't stop even if he wanted too! (brakeless) Better than some 3x even 4x his age, one to watch if you can stick around for 10 or so years lol
  8. Quite entertaining, worth the higher quality
  9. Adamant A3 due to strength to weight ratio compared to the others. E.g Monty pr, nice and light not so strong - GU, strong but alittle on the heavy side. But you dont have a trials bike atm, sooo im assuming your just getting into trials so strength to weight ratios and lengths, rises etc won't bother you too much ?! Perhaps ? Either way good choice for a mod and go for something short, short is sweet.
  10. Considering how many people "complain" about their Hopes (including me) compared to Louise users, i'd snap up a chance for a swap for a Louise anyday and buy one over my Hope if i was anygood at saving. Great brake imo from using my friends and riding others with Louises on, consistent modulation in situations where you need it, bite and hold under high pressures.
  11. Get over here and i'l show you! Lil tips; Be a tad more over the back wheel as when you land forward momentum (sp) will force your front down/you down Hold on like fook "Floating" down is more comfatable than kicking like hell and hoping i find on that note too, keep your eyes where your aiming to land and extend/tuck your legs depending how precise you need to be on your landing P.s when will you be over again? Ben.
  12. Maybe he was getting pissed off with being called hos-el from british riders, maybe not. But the bike is stunning, i'l be up urs soon richard lol

    Koxx Xtp

    Mint bike but that stem is wayyy to high in my opinion.
  14. "Ben here" with most trials riders from when i was younger and would call saying "hi, its ben here....". Or "Grid and Grid - iron" from school rugby as i slowly made a name for myself so my teacher called me it, think he got it from "Grid-iron gang" the film about american football
  15. Tehe, done a similar paintjob along time ago on my orange (3years almost!)
  16. That bb looks ragged and the built in booster crack has happened before.
  17. Built one of those up the other day and it appears both the Monty and Tryall rim depths are very similiar, couldn't say for certain though. Could find out on the weekend though ? Its my mates wheel so i can borrow one his spokes for a couple of minutes to compare it to mine for you ? Ps. 187mm spoke length for the King to Tryall - best get a second opinion though, eg. Tarty spoke calculator etc.
  18. Ive got the same setup and i think i've got some spare spokes, so il measure the length and edit this post in roughly half an hour for you
  19. Nah the urbans aren't as bad as you think The grungy yellow grips spoil it more.
  20. My Black Mumba did this, my XTP did it and my Triton does it too. In my experience of trying to fix this its a hard problem to overcome, unless your lucky enough to be able to move your chain line a good 5-10mm. Personally i never worried about it, i ride reasonably harsh in terms of my level of riding and this problem has never been the downfall of any of my mod frames.
