  1. There that crap i can't even find a picture of one
  2. Zoo! ***, great pads . Great with a smooth rim with or without tar , or a very light grind. Highly recommended
  3. Huh , but don't most people do this method and they find that this makes their brake better.
  4. Long pitbull , i rode the 06 yesterday and i love it unfortunately. Rather flicky and reasonably good on the back wheel. Good build quality aswell.
  5. Shame about the video quality but i suppose i can't speak, but there was some nice riding in there well done.
  6. Its really about what people think of them, i would say more people run magura's than people that don't but thats not to say v-brakes aren't good because they can be some very good ones e.g. avid. A front magura can be just as effective as a front disk brake when its properly set-up but just for personal preference i prefer a front disk. I think the onza t-Rex would be an excellent bike to start off on as it comes with quality brakes such as the maguras and they prove to be good value for money. Just make sure you don't get the one with the seat as there are two different types. If your thinking of purchasing a trials bike i would suggest Tarty bikes as they have an unbeatable service and offer a wide range for riders with different tastes. Hope i helped and good luck with trials
  7. When i first started a while ago now i just tried hopping back wards until i found a balancing point. Then i found CLS videos and realised i was supposed to hop forwards haha . Its weird because you just gradually get better at things but don't really notice it until you push yourself. Practice practice practice
  8. What over floats your boat i suppose
  9. My mates got one, The bike will just stay on the back wheel for ages , i find it good for side hops but really hard for wheelswops . I wouldn't say they are weak frames as we have ridden it roughly. They look great but they are fairly expensive If there is anyone out there who wants one and they haven't ridden one yet i really suggest you have a go on someone Else's first because you just don't know if you will like it or not as its great for somethings but not really suitable for others.
  10. I have zoo! pads , i find they work best on a smooth rim with a little bit a tar, or a very light grind.
  11. Koxx , it looks amazing and i bet it rides rather nicely aswell.
  12. GU booster or any of the Echo boosters , you can't really go wrong there.
  13. If your interested in saving a few quid why not just get the normal acs and locktite it up, as that worked on my first front freewheel bike-although the freewheel itself didn't last long . If you can stretch a bit i would suggest buying the Tensile freewheel as they are still fairly cheap for what they are and have a great number of engagements. Hope i helped ..Tom...
  14. 661 dirt lid, not the best but it does the job
  15. Yeh good riding and nice vid but just like the other guys have stated try to crouch down a little and stay more relaxed, make your style more flowing. Anyways well done and keep it up
  16. Tensile ***!, cheap, good quality, good engagements. Cant really go wrong
  17. ^^ agreed with orgun donor wow someones quick arent they, if im that irrative go somewhere else
  18. wow sorry watch out he might be offended, if you keep forgetting things it might be down to a medical problem dude
  19. Especially a certain someone *cough cough* .
  20. What do you mean you must shut your mouth and obey, no-one is making you stay here, im on here to find things out and try and help other people. Whats your excuse
  21. Oke then, if you aint got anything good to say dont say it at all , and if this forum is soo bad why are you here? plus people ask questions on here regarding trials and people answer those questions. No-one else is complaining
  22. Wow impressive , great riding there bud and nice bike . Nice gapping going on
