Looks good te, mine should be here tomorrow

Bloody good idea! Just measured my trialtechs and I have 35mm rake

if you had some thin string/ fishing line, tie it to a pen, thread it down the centre of the steerer tube, tie a weight to it, measure from string to drop out? i found a pic, they do look strange

Like, could you measure the rake on the forks I sold you?

I recently sold a set of trialtech forks, the buyer messaged mr to say he thought they look bent so he measured the wheel base then put his old pair of forks back on (also trialtechs) and he says there is 20mm difference. Is this possible? I was under the impression that they would crack/ snap before they do that. You knowledge would be helpful, thanks

Yes but it has the riders name in the title so people can find him when they search.

A friend of mine is selling a set of trialtech maggie forks for a 20"

has it actually chopped the end off? as above the risk of infection is high and could potentially fatal. There is a free 24 hour vet line which give free advice. i dont know the number though.

Yes as longs you frame has mounts.

The echo sl frame, the annodised lighter one.

Tartys sell the tool for about 14quid, it works a treat!

I would normally say trialsparts.net but there is a dispute against them in the disputes section.

theres always another day! i find if when you cant do something and it becomes frustrating sometimes leaving it and coming back later or the next day helps. I find the more you do it and fail it turns into a mental block! when he does make it he is gonna feel good! Isitafox, have you tried rolling stuff now your on a 26? ive just started getting it and really starting to enjoy it.

The thing you could and definitely should practice on your current bike is the track stand, it's the key to all other moves. With regards to bikes, in my opinion most trials bikes aimed at pure trials are still good for street, but the higher end frames have a potential to snap if you bash it a lot. 24 inch frames like the zoot and inspired are good for Danny mac style street but a beginner will find hopping on the back wheel hard compared to a high bb short chain stay frame. If I was you I would go with one of the echo full builds, they are cheap for what you get and are still strong. Don't be shy from ordering from tartys either, there reputation is second to none, and the staff are very helpful too.

They sold today mate, sorry.

Ive found try-all have the best grip by far, but they do wear down quick. I have a set for sale.

Think you need to put threads like these in the beginners section. Onzakid has got it spot on mate, it's easy once you done it. Make sure you do the drive side first then square off the wheel with the non drive side.

Where is the ad out of interest? Has the site got a feedback page? If you got him to create a paypal it's not the end of the world for him, he can use it for other transactions and save him this hassle on the future.

Is that how mod riders write lol

Did you hear that from one of your mates?

All trials forks do it eventually, how old were they roughly?

It all depends on what sort of trials you want to get into really. trials frames are normally really small to increase stand over height, the geo of the frame is wehat you want to be looking at really.

I might come along mate, havnt rode in over 2months due To a hip injury!

Are you joking? He has been world champion 11 times! I've got one of his monty xlite replicas fro 1997 in my cellar'
