  1. Sometimes I get abit irritated waiting to be validated but its posts like the first one that remind me why! Unless your 8 years old there's no excuse.
  2. I've just come back into it after a 2/3 year break and I'm not regretting it at all! I did everything I used to try and bigger on the first day back riding. Hope you find it as easy to get back into!
  3. And personally I wouldn't use one for trials as my mate broke the alloy centre on one of his, which could be quite ugly when riding trials! Theres no need for them in trials as you don't generate the heat that you would when riding downhill. And there more expenise if you land on it and break it.
  4. So wrong! Only kidding minions are alright but my personal dh favourite is michelin comp 16's but you probably don't want a dh tyre for dirt jumpings as it will be too slow rolling. Safe options is a hard compound high roller 2.35.
  5. I'm 5 foot 7 and ride a 1080 wheel base 26 inch (simtra st1) and I don't feel it holds me back at all. Infact I much prefer it too my old mod! Have a go on a 26 and see how it feels its all up to personal preferance.
  6. Looks like an amazing riding spot!
  7. I am indeed, did the weather get better? Not sure when we'll be riding next and don't worry about being out of it I've only just started riding again after about 3 years!
  8. I'm from newcastle so practically stoke and theres a couple of other lads who ride. We don't really go to stoke that much because newcastle and hanley are so much better!
  9. It depends on your weight and riding style I'd start at around 25 and adjust to what suits you best.
  10. When I was riding downhill I was first using DMR V8's with skate shoes, I then got some 5 10 riding shoes and the differance was massive much better grip. I then upgraded my pedals to burgtec penthouse flats (supposedly the best flat pedal ever but too big and heavy for trials) and the differance wasn't so big. I then tried skate shoes on the new pedals to compare and while being better than the dmr's the differance was no where near as great as the shoes gave. So instead of debating between skate shoes, as over the years I've learnt they are all very simlar, if you really want the grippiest shoe/pedal combination I'd get some decent riding shoes designed for flat pedals!
  11. I'd look out for a second hand echo control (just a personal favourite) or simlar, the differance in cost between second hand frames isn't that big so I'd replace it with a good frame then upgrade parts as you go!
  12. Has anyone tried 5 10 shoes for trials? I haven't bothered using mine yet as I thought of them as more of a dh specific shoe but they have a super tacky sole and I can safely say they are alot grippier than any normal trainer!
  13. Not sure about which bash ring but if your frame has a plate I'd keep it if I was you.
  14. How about a profile hub? Couple of my mates have had them and they have been great!
  15. 10 miles a day on a trials bike! You alright in the head? Haha
