Thanks guys, but from what most of you have said I think im going to give it a miss, or just use some of a mates if they have any (Y) (Y) . Thanks. Ollie

As the title says really, what does it do and is it worth getting some? Also does it make your brakes squeel like tar does? If any one has used it please tell me what you think. Thanks. Ollie.

Reviews: How Does You Bike Ride In The Snow/wet
t-mag_rider replied to Mc Lovin's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
I have found that my bike performs really well in the wet, my tyres, creepy crawlers, are really grippy and don't slip. My grips are monty foams and they don't move, just get a bit soggy. My brake pads are OK but they could be better, i have toxin reds, on a smoth rim with a little tar(when dry), soon too be a grind though. My pedals are really good in the wet and dry, they are Onza shindigs and they are super grippy. Hope I help. Ollie -
If you look on page 2 it says some thing about it there, I asked, its some thing to do with the hubs having alen bolts to hole them in. Have a read. You will find it in better terms than i put it. Hope I help. Ollie

I have not had a bad fall on my trials bike yet, touch wood, but my worst was when i was learning to ride my unicycle, all of a sudden the unicycle stoped, and I didn't, so I frontfliped off it!!! Luckly for me i was on grass, so not serious injuries for me just took the wind out of me, oh and I also banged my head on the floor quite hard, so now I wear a helmet (Y) . Thanks Ollie
-
I was not joking acctually, I am a newbe to trials so I didn't know that must hubs were alen bolts. :P Thanks for the help any way. Ollie

Why not? I know someone who rides with a grind on the front rim, I think it feels really nice. Ollie -
How Do You Grind Rims?
t-mag_rider replied to stock trials the real sport's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
Sandpaper will do nothing, unless you are using a belt sander and you have about an hour to spend on each rim. So it will work, with some really rough sandpaper, and a belt sander,and a lot of time to spare. But if you are thinking of doing it by hand there is no point, it will take too long and barley make a difference. Hope i help. Ollie. -
How Do You Grind Rims?
t-mag_rider replied to stock trials the real sport's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
I think that you should just leave it, and let some one who knows what they are doing or have done it before do it for you, then if they mess it up, they are to blame and they will have to replace it. But they should not mess it up if they know what they are doing. Hope I help. Ollie -
How Do You Grind Rims?
t-mag_rider replied to stock trials the real sport's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
You need an angle grinder, and your rim. Oh and the grinder should have a cutting disk on it. Then you take the grinder and just play with the angle if it until it cuts nice and sharp. Then grind acordingly (sp?) to how deep you want it. The deeper, or harsher as it is known, the more your brake will be increased. Hope I help. Ollie -
What for? Mod or stock? I ride a mod and i use creepy crawlers, I have found that they are good,well so far. Hope i help. Ollie
-
I think it just cleans all of the rubbish off you rim, resulting in a slightly better brake, well thats what i think, tell me if im wrong though. Hope i help. Ollie

I carry a lighter arround with me, so that if it does freeze up, it hasn't yet, touch wood, but if it does, if you run a lighter up the hose, its just enough heat to melt the ice, and not the hose, but don't hold it in one spot, as my friend found out. Hope I help. Ollie
