I think im gonna give a front v-brake a go, goin for the because v-brake forks, XTR lever, TNN V-Brake pads and either the avid ultimate or Single Digit SL depending on if the ultimate is still on offer when i get payed.

Mine has a few new skool bits, ive been slowly tryin to get her as close to original without loosing performance. She is slightly different now than in the pic. Ive got the original rear rim on her.

Pics Added to my first post

And we still get back on the bike!

Cor that just brought back memories lol.

He already has a for sale thread

Id say who ever gave him a validation vote got tricked, in his for sale thread his english got better! blatently only come on to sell!

i have one, where do you want me to measure from and too?

Oh great lol! i like the look of the new try-alls, but im guessing only time will tell if they were ok

It may give you a warning if you inspect your forks for cracks, but they did not do anything different while riding to suggest they was going to snap.

I think your jumping to conclusions to quickly mat. Did he say how he was posting it. Not everyone is on the net every day. Most companies take 2-3 days to deliver.

Or maybe old skool in general, get people to post up pics of there old skool rides.

Looks good mate, love old skool mods!

Yes please, start a bike pic thread mate.

what bike is that in your sig?

Piss off! For every other useful answer, cheers for the advice, think I'm going to go for the trialtechs! I think I can justify the few extra grams and pound to save my face lol. Any other suggestions on helmets?

Was out riding earlier and my forks decided to break while riding done a slope with about a foot drop at the bottom. Wasn't doin anything special, literally just rising down it and as I landed off the drop the forks snapped just above the maggie mounts and I face planted a curb! I was wearing a helmet luckily. my friend said I was knocked out for a min or so, and when o came too was all a blur to me I was under the impression that Urbans were really strong. I had a set of SL's snap in the same place, but nether thought the Urbans would do this. The SL's Any suggestion on what forks and helmet to get next?

I find the tnn lgm's better personally.

As you pushin the fluid through with a syringe slowly pull the lever and release slowly makin sure you keep lots of pressure on the syringe to stop the air coming back in. do it a few times till you see no bubbles.

Not sure where you get that from? but thats not the case. the sections can vary in size depending on difficulty, you have 2 mins to do them. I have only done one trial so far but in the one i done there was 6 sections and you had to do 3 laps, but this can vary. its about a tenner for licence and a tenner for membership.

Beginer (green) Novice (white) Intermediate (Blue) Expert (Red) Elite (yellow) You have to find a local club ebtc for example, become a member, fill in the acu licence form, get the club secutary to sigh in then send it off to be processed. http://www.ebtc.net/ all links are on there website

How high you can side hop doesnt really determain which level you should enter, Its more technical ability rather than power moves at lower levels. I would (and did) go for intermediate as i wasnt a total newbie. You can change class pretty easy if you choose the wrong class too. You need a bike, helmet an acu licence and a club membership.

did they like green bikes back then? They were mega powerful riders!

Try-all's will wear quick, but you cant have it all
