  1. cheers for all your replys yes i ride a cough cough onza t-vee cough my gearing is 22 18. i run the armstrong cranks at the moment and was looking at musclemans. is there any other stuff i would need to change to upgrade to these or is it just armstrongs off musclemans on?? by the sound of it you lot dont thinks its a good idea to go from fixed to freewheel?? thanks again for all the replys
  2. at the moment i run a fixed front cog (22 tooth). and was considering upgrading to front free wheel at xmas. i was thinking about it and would, say an 18tooth front free wheel make me hop further (static forward hop)??? has any one done a similar upgrade and what are your views on this. cheers owen
  3. rrrrre post http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....p;hl=why+so+low sorry mate i did a very simlar topic only about a month ago
  4. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7048 just type avid ultimate into google and there is loads of shops that sell them
  5. put tape on the outside of the normal rim tape. then there is no sticky side to worry about
  6. wonderful choice of vees on that black stock
  7. sorry to hear the bad news mate. ill deffinately keep an eye out for you
  8. ye but what do you expect, you get 4 sets of grips for £5 (if you cut them in half) you cant really expect them to last.
  9. A few weeks ago i was doing a drop gap and my brake slipped, resulting in me landing on my back on a concrete block but the injuries are all a part of the sport
  10. haha thats exactly what i have got. they are great and you dont need to waste your mony on gloves.
  11. i have the same problem with no one to ride with. i have a few riding buddy but none of them are up for riding as often as i am. so i usually just set up a few pallets in my garden lol. does the trick though. o ye and when my bb snaps when im like 10 miles from home and need to get the train back, thats quite a bast*rd.
  12. i hate the winter!!! dark nights and wet weather. it sucks!! however i do like the cold weather because when its warm i over heat and have to stop riding for a few mins!! but overall the winter sucks!!
  13. good litle vid mate. could have done with being a bit longer though.
  14. i have drilled my front rim and it is fine . i was considering doing my rear aswell but i didnt want to loose strenght on the rear . Are those Dx32s double walled?? if they are you should get away with it, as long as you dont ride too hard
  15. good for 2 weeks. but you need to learn to use one finger braking. its a must in trials!!! but other wise looking good
  16. nice vid mate that t-rex looks awsome!!
  17. ok thanks for the fast replys. what bike do you both ride because thinking about it if you ride a short wheel base mod (like me) then shorter bars will suite the bike better. but if you ride a big stock then wider bars will feel more at home?? thanks again for the fast replys
  18. i was just out messing around on my bike and i had a mad moment and decided to cut my bars down. and i have just gone out and rode it and it is so much easier to control the bike, i now feel like i have full control . so i was just a bit curious why people have 30" bars etc. and what size are your bars and do you like them like that?? bit of a pointless topic i no but i found a massive difference in bike control, so maybe you can to.
  19. i have a grind and rock pads and my braking power is imense!! they are much better now they have worn in!
  20. o my god!!! that bloke is seriously good. and i love the random clip on the mod lol
  21. i charged £5 for a car, £7 for 4x4s and vans. this is the rong time of year to do it but you should still make quite a bit. o ye and make sure you go somewhere kinda posh, so they have loads of cars and loads of money
  22. car washing!! i used to do it twice a weekend and got myself £100 in 2 weekends!! then i blew it all on my bike
  23. well 15psi is just a rough estimate. if you find it too soft and your rim hits the floor them pump it up to about 18-20psi
  24. let your tire pressure down to about 15psi. that helped my balance alot
