  3. What's A Good Begginer Bike?

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    after 1 month after taking up biking all together not being able to do sh1t all (not even a track stand) i snapped da bomb bars killed 3 da bomb freewheels and popped the headset bearings :- so yes bottom line, da bomb = crap (N)

    :blink: Mine must be special then because ive had mine that amount of time and well a little more and ive hammered mine and the only thing thats gone is the freewheel but thats it so its been good so far.And if you kept killing da bomb freewheels you should have bought an acs or similar.

    I think da bombs are ace 'first bikes'.Ive learned sooo much in the time ive had it,its really easy to ride and im really happy how good i have got riding it.I had a ride of a onza T-Mag and to be honest i though mine felt better than it.I was the first person to ride it aswell so it was brand new.It did feel real nice though.Nothing has broke on the da bomb yet so thats cool to.

    But yeh i dont know how you can say da bomb are crap first bikes because ive had mine a 1 month and 1 week and i can do like 6ft pedal hops,35" or something side hops and i learnt how to back hop in the first week ect....So they cant be to bad...Can they? (ritorical question :P )

    And Mathew you didnt tell me you were getting a trrials bike at school :blink:

  13. Things I Can Do To Make My Brakes As Good As They Can Get

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Well this is what i did with my v-brakes.So you could try this on yours.

    Right

    1.I took the cable off and give it a good oiling all the way through to make it smooth and light when it was ready to go back on.

    2.I took my pads off and left them in boiling hot water for 10 minutes rubbing them half way through to get all the grease and muck off them.

    3.I took the actual brake off and oiled the stansions so they where free and smooth when they went back on.

    4.I sprayed the rim with brake cleaner and gave it a good wipe off with a cloth.You should be able to get brake cleaner from most shops like halfords and stuff.

    5.I made sure the pads where square on the rim.

    6.I ajusted the brake so it had the right amount of play in it,like so it wasnt touching my fingers but had some feel to it.

    7.Now just put it all back together and it should be lots better,well mine was anyway.

    Hope this is clear and good luck.

  18. What Gloves Should I Get ?

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    You people obviously have no girl friends cause most girls don't like hard skin on you r hands. Plus it feels a lot better to not have hard skin. And gloves keep your hands warm and slightly more protected so just cause you don't wear gloves doesn't mean other riders are "pussies" for not wearing them... (N)

    HTT 4 Life

    Mine are hard anyway and i wear gloves always (N) And ye it doesnt dig the chicks so that isnt good.I dont care though 'cos if the going to be fussy they can p**s off.Also good idea,get a chick who does trials.Sorted.And welcome Richard,have fun.Shame about your username :-:D

    I would be doing motocross and motor trials which i already do now ^_^ But....id be bored shitless through the days now ive started bike trials,like my bike broke on thursday and i didnt get it fixed until today and it was really bad.Also i went to hawkstone park on sunday to watch motocross and its really good for trials too which annoyed me more and every 2 seconds i was like "oooooo look at that rock,that looks fun" And thats like 6 days so i would probably cry if it wasnt here :shifty: .But i would be alot better in school as i wouldnt be thinking about trials and drawing bikes on my test paper :- (happened today) got my paper ripped up.Yey.

  20. 04 Hs33's Or 05 Hs33's?

    Ok i'll tell him that.The thing is though there brand new, only had about 4-5 hours riding so there havent had any hammer.All it could be is the setup,i didnt have a good look so more than likely the pads will be out of line or something little.He hasnt got a grind either so maybe that would be an idea,also maybe a bit of tar.

    What you said about V's being arguably as good as magura with a good set-up,i totally agree with this i have pretty cr*p V's with cr*p pads, no grind, no tar ect... and mine are amazing.Better than my hope mini's on my mountain bike,so just go's to show ^_^

    Thanks for your help Anzo (Y)

    I know this isnt strictly answering the question but...I had a ride of my mates T-mag which had an 05 rear maggie and to be honest i thought it was lame compared to my Cable brake.It looked like it was set up properly and that but didnt seem to hold very well,its like nearly new but its bedded in so i dont know what the problem could be.I only have tektro v's with standard (crap) pads and mine works better in everyway.Do you think he should take the pads of and have a look at them and clean them up or something.Its good until you get pretty vertical on the back wheel, it doesnt hold and you get a sore a**e for a couple of days. >_<

  24. Can You Spot A Trials Rider?

    yup you can tell with the braking methods and the stance on the pedals,

    i dont know about the rest of you but i can sure as hell realise if somebody is actually good or skilled in someway/used to a trials bike with the way they stand up and pedal, especially chavs who dont even know what a trials bike is as they have boaght it for 20quid, they tend to be all stiff and look like they have been ring pieced. they pedal with the bike moving from side to side so much and have more or less a full hand over the brake lol. lots of other people just dont seem to be relaxed on a bike.

    Your spot on there.I can always tell aswell,my mate got on my bike the other day and you could tell he was a rugby player and not a biker.He looked so stiff,he could hardly pull away and i dont think he knows the meaning of the word balance.
