  1. If you mean the mini bike, yes it's got 6" wheels and brakes that realy work! and yes i can do tricks on it like spins, kick hops, drop offs, front hops and bunny hops..
  2. Might as well do this as every other new member is!!!!!! Hello!!!!!! My name's david!!!!!! (some people know me as squeaky dave or crazy dave) Been riding a bike since i was 3, rode bmx and anything else for a laugh, been riding trials for over 9 years now!!!!!(so not a newbie ) and i've been a bike mechanic for 12. I started on the street (one of the first riders in fareham) then after about 18 months found that there were some riders in pompy and then started doing comp.. Back then trials riders were like rocking horse sh#t..... and the parts were worse, we had to make are own stuff like rockrings, and find out what would and would not brake... it like a candy shop of parts now... It's nice to see the sport grow in to what it is today, but i wish the bitching would stop..... i don't give a sh#t if you like my bike or not!!!! or if it's a mod or a stock!!!! idon't give a flying f#ck all i want to do is ride my bike and have funn So if any one wants to go for a ride in fareham or local area, let me no, i also don't mind showing newbies how to ride... and i can help with mechanical problems
  3. monkey boy!!!!!!!!!! The only thing to fear is fear it self....... Its only a wall!!!! get over it!!!!!!
  4. When he biulds it....... It will come...........
  5. You should talk to a kid met down the the beach once who stop using tar after his brake stuck on when he went for a gap and landed face first in the hole He has new front teeth now and has never used tar again!!!!! Get some good pads and you won't need tar grind or no grind!!!! and learn to use the chain to brake, it helps when your in the sh#t....
  6. I was a cheeky f#ck with mine as my mate wanted one cos the standard geo was close to the prototype rocket i had, he ordered one and it took 4 weeks........ he rode it for 1 month........... then sold it to me for half price .............. in mint condition .................. well worth the wait..................
  7. My firts bike was a 12" bmx (don't remember wat one) i was 3.. it was red... and i rode the thing of everything The first bike i rode trials on (circa 1996) was a old steel 15" gt (it might have been a tequesta) it had a u-brake on the rear and a altus 3 ring chain set with the 2 big rings ground off to make a bash ring!!!!!! Had it about 5 months till it snaped... Look how far trials has come since then............
  8. The general lee 24" is a nice bike and if you want to jump it, use the forks that come with it, if you don't like it then change.... As i ride bmx as well (20"), i don't like sus forks on 24" as it takes all the felling out of the jumps!!!!!!
  9. you might have air in you brake and heed to bleed it right.... and don't use water...... To bleed it properly.... Fisrt empty the brake and get all the water out...... take the pads out and turn u,r wheel round so the disc is on the other side of the fork so i won't get oil on it!! stand the bike up and make sure the lever resivoir is flat.. take the cap and the menbrane off.. put a piece of pipe on the bleed nipple on the caliper and turn the nipple so it is open.. (only about 1/2 turn. then slowly put new blood in the resivior on the lever and it should start going down in to the brake.. keep toping it up till there is fluid coming out of the pipe..... when there is fluid coming out of the pipe slowly pull the brake lever in then lock off the bleed nipple... make sure the resivior is full and then slowly let the lever out..... (the fluid should go down)..... then let off the bleed nipple off again and repeat the the lever pull and release about 6 times to make sure there is no air....... when u'r sure there is no air coming out of the pipe! lock off the bleed nipple, top up the resivior and replace the membrane and cap.(when you put the membrane back on there should be a bit of spillage to make sure that you don't get any air in the resivior) Clean pads and refit... make sure the caliper and disc are aligned and that should sort you out....... and more probs and i can only say contact me or take it to a magura service agent..... PS.. DON'T USE WATER IN MAGURAS..........
  10. Just to let you no if you use, or are thinking of useing water in you maguras i would strongly suggest you don't!!!!!!!!! i have just cleaned out the 9th set of maguras on customers bikes that have use water What happens is that the air in the water rots the seals and if you use deinonised water it does the same because the ph balance acts like acid!!!!!!! magura blood is designed to lube the system, thats why it's in there..... it also voids the warranty..... the pro's can afford to do it cos they get them for free.. so think before you do it and don't say i did'nt tell......... IT'S NOT AN OPINION!!! THIS IS FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. If the weather goes sh#t tommorow and if it turns nice on sunday,i'll be out at the same time at the colleage
  12. The moons gravity is 1/6 of earth.. and it is possable the leave the suface and float of to u'r long trip in to the void with a good push.......... You learn somthing new every day.......... I learned that trials riders need to learn more about physics......
  13. Sorry to burst the bubble with sience but there is gravity on the moon just not that much... and if you could ride in a space suit and you did manage to do a hop you will more than likely float off in to space ........ And i don't no about you but i hate riding in sand But it might be good for a laugh but i would insist on a tether
  14. Just cos you haven't seen it yet here's the prototype rocket fab stage 1....... and the fattys i won't sell you
  15. Had a set of lx 5 arm about 7 years ago, i think they were faulty as they would not break had them about 2 years... got a pair of profile 3 peice crank's 165mm with ti axle, there sweet but i use middleburn rs7 at the mo as i've got a leeson, but there realy good had them over 3 years..
  16. Not as good as it used to be but there's lots of good lines and most of the fun is hanging out, learning new moves and having a laugh, which is always good....
  17. I'll have to see on sat who's going an sort it out then!!!
  18. Here's the bars i snapped at doneys yard at the open day!!!!! and yes i went down like a bag of sh*t And you name it in the 9 years i've been riding trials i've broken it.... frames, forks, brakes, bars, stems. cranks, hubs, rims, spokes, chains and the best one i did was strip 9 teeth of a 18 tooth rear cog!!!!! the bars were the last thing and before that it was pulling a hose out on the front magura a year a go.....
  19. Thought i should put this on And yes i do trials on it....
  20. 03 hs33's race lines Monty citrus pads Scuft rear x-lite rim Smooth front 517 cd rim 4bolt rear mount leeson booster (2bolt carbon) Race line D font booster on evo monts Hope mini on front for those realy s##t muddy comps..
  21. Good choice ive used hope for 10 years there the best hubs by far... Had the same set on my bike for over 6 years now...
  22. You don't give your age or height.... but if you young and small a 20" will fit you better and you'll be able to move it around, if you fit on a 26" and have the strength to chuck it about get one one of them... but as everyone else has said ask to have a go on peoples bikes and remember a 20" or 26" is still a trials bike, and should not be treated any different.... aslong as you get out and ride........ If u,r in the hampshire area you can hook up with us for a spin
  23. We drive.. it's the only way to get there without kill youself trying to get there on a bike....... when you can go i'll we can sort out lifts and ect. as i can only fit 3 people and 3 bikes in my car..... To be honest.... ash!! you!! ash!! you!!...erm..... i'll take you just to watch ash cry Jokeing aside i'll find a way.... i allways find a way..... anytime you want to ride and learn and need help i'll allways try and come out/ help.. and that means anyone.. Me out of my pit at eleven on a sat !!!!! i'll buzz you when get up i should be awake by then. but all else fails i'll be at the coll at 12 and we can go from there.. see you then
