feest Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's been a while, I used to buy all sorts of ghetto gear off this site and shoot the shit about riding the bikes with the dodgy looking saddles and that. Just getting back into trials again aafter dusting off the old megamo steed and thought i'd come on here find out the latest crack. Seems trials forum is a lot quieter than it was say 5 years ago, I've done a search but can't seem to find owt. What has happened? Is trials in general less popular? have people gone to another place? I can't work it out maybe it's just a slow decline. Much love to all by the way, keep doing your thing and I am really enjoying riding my bike again even though i am pretty rusty! Also JT! i seem to owe you 90p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 everyone fell out on the internet. trials is still going, i've been treated to a group ride nearly every weekend for the last 3 months... but the lack of brands leaves very little up to debate anymore.

MadManMike Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Welcome back. I don't remember you, but then I don't remember what I ate yesterday so that's no surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Think the older gen has moved on and stopped talking about trials. They still ride trials though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWood! Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 People seem to worry about frame geometries more then anything else now, we bought frames because they looked cool and we heard they rode nice back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Back in the day I just bought what I could afford. Genraly onza onza and da bomb. Or any super small jump bike frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 People still do this. Not as often though, also this obsession for losing every last gram of weight. Discussing if you should cut the outer knobles off your tyres to save weight? I mean seriously, just ride your bikes, 10 grams is going to make no difference.

Cutting tyre knobbles can give more grip and save weight if done correctly... I bought an echo 24 cause I heard they rode nice and I thought they looked nice. Same with most of my bikes haha.

eskimo Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Facebook happened. The community got bigger which creates segregation. The community decided they didn't like all the same bikes at all the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Best way to lose weight, go for a shit before you ride. Or just get on and ride, cos its the best way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just get on and ride, cos its the best way How does shitting make your bike lighter? Lighter bikes are easier to ride, if this wasn't true then world level riders would be riding Virgin Pendolinos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
