  1. Alrite fellas, just wondering what happened to Craig's last 2006 Python frame, (the one he used at the DJ ride) and that black profile hub he had. Did he sell it to a mate? Also, do any shops still sell the 2006 Python brand new? Cheers. ... and has Craig quit trials totally?
  2. Nice, but isn't it gonna be a bit fiddly, seeing as Tensile freewheels are loose ball bearing?
  3. Trials is a pretty unknown to most people, whereas things like skating and BMX are known by everyone young and old. The main thing is, trials isn't nearly as popular as BMX and skate yet so councils can't be assed to make any trials parks for riders. The best way I guess, is if someone owns any private land or their family even, and have pallets and tyres and loads of other stuff donated there to ride.
  4. There are loads of great options out there: If you're on a slight budget, then go for the Echo Lite forks at £70ish, they are slightly flexy forks but it isn't that bad a thing. Probably the most popular forks out there. Very lightweight forks, but not necessarily weaklings! More expensive options: Zoo Forks are straight blade instead of curved, and have a CNC'd crown meaning stiffer feel in theory. IMO they don't look as good as curved forks on mods. Echo Team CNC forks: Curved, ball burnished, CNC'd crown, pretty stiff. Disc only. GU 20" forks: Curved, black, CNC'd crown, supposed to be stiffer than the Team CNC fork reading some threads on OTN. Koxx Forxx 20": Strongish, similarish to Echo Lite forks, bit pricey. Viz 20" fork: Stiff, strong, comes in black or polished silver, looks really cool like an Echo Lite fork with ripple in the tubing for stiffness. Apart from those there are other choices like Onza Smart Guys, Fall guys, and Monty 221ti forks, but the forks you should look at really are either the Echo Lites or the Viz
  5. I swear by them. Iv grinded my rim and it locks beautiful, even in wet its sweet. I used to ride with tar but since using the pads and grind, my riding sounds alot smoother and sometimes silent. You have to give it ago man. Tom

  12. Well happy with mine. Ur hav no chance in snapping it for a dame good time man. Plus nice for pulling a few street moves if ur into that.
  13. Not sure which maxxic minion to get. Either the Slow reezaay or Super Tacky I wack abit of street in my riding so which wood you rate best for me? Cheers
  14. You got my vote geezer. That wood be sic to have a park not to far away Tom.
  15. I hear loads of people grind their rims but is it all what its cracked up to be? Tar seems to work a treat for me.
