Bike Trials

How important is rear wheel moves in bike-trials, are they needed in the sport level class.

Just walked in from riding with a Unicyclist, WOW! I just can not believe the stuff this kid can ride, like jumping from the center of a log pile out and over with a 4' drop. If you have not ridden with a uni rider you be amazed of the stuff they attempt and make! I just can not believe it. Well, now I'm headed out to dig a grave for my motorcycle, it's over! I've been riding this huge log pile for months, trying to get the final clean, then this youngster shows up and on the first try gets a clean. It changes a mans mind rapidly, my wife keeps telling me to take up gardening, maybe its time! sam I'am with chickens that lay green eggs!

Hi Guy's How do you rate the Pashley 26 MHz frame. ( one to ten) Do you think it was the best at the time is was made. Do you think that it should now be classed as a "classic". Do you think there should be a class for this "Classic" bike.as a one make series. Its up to you Guy's now. Regards.Charlie.

Made a video of my friend Luke Cockshott

Which do you think is more physical, bike- trials , moto-trials?

I was just thinking i do and thought that after riding a motorbike going back to a small pedal bike is realy diffrent and u feel a great weigh diffrence as expected and this gives u that extra ability to hope around much easyer!! Do any of you agree???? Thanks Henry

Anyone know where i can get hold of one cant spend too much money but i would like a decent one arnt bothered if it has hydrualics or not. Apart from ebay ( look there quite a lot for 20") Any of your m8s selling ?

Hi just bought my daughter a 06 mini trial and as I’ve now found out I have the old problem of reving high on idle etc , then dying out when idle screw adjusted down , I’ve seen a few posts from years ago but did anyone ever find out a good way to sort this out ? , also pulled clutch cover off and found a clutch totally different to what I see online for the mini trial (as per picture ) ….. do I fit a new carb or buy a new clutch?

new to this sport and would like a few pointers on bike setup! any help appreciated

Not exactly bike trials, but...... Just come across a reference to the 'Wheel King" bike, from the mid 70's (I know - a long time back!). Anyway, I had a new one, must have been in about '76/77. It has a plastic 'fake petrol tank' (red), MX seat, number plates, suspension front and rear, Drum brakes etc etc. Looked all the world like a 'crosser, and boy for a 10 year old it was cool !! Anyone remember them, or even a photo ??? cheers John.

anyone know much about DDG bikes. who makes the frames or main distributer.I have had a bit of bother with mine.I cant seem to find much info about them. i have had a serious crack appear and it is nearly a brand new bike. i dont know weather to get a new frame or break it up for parts but I was wondering if there was a manufactures warrenty on the frame as it looks like a fault in the metal,its crumbling . Thanks. Mort.

Word coming from Dan Brown on the TTC website shows the North American Trials Series expert class was won by our own moto-trials Pro rider Patrick Smage at TTC yesterday. Kudo's kiddo!

Bought a tatty Onza from ebay that needs new grips, anyone want to offer some advice?

what are the best brake blocks for just messing around on the streets??? the brakes are magura hs 33's?! cheers

OK so it ain't bike trials, but kind of links, trials riders on push bikes. Just been reading January's MBUK and you get to find out what Jonny Starmer and Jason Bayliss have been up to - DH (under the wind of my neighbour Mr Warner) . And doing pretty well it seems. Woody Hole has done pretty wel in the past and I here that Steve Peat's not bad on a trials bike. Looks like trials skills cross over well to DH. Always fancied a blast myself, done a few XC and CycloX races and done ok, just wondered what the DH race set up is like. Anyone had a go ?

I have been spending quite a bit of time, for me!! on my ashton justice and i am struggling with with these hoppy things, the one that gets you up onto an object, i know the basic principle i just dont know where to start!! any info, short vids, good dvds etc would be appreciated! ta Brad.

Please take a look, thankyou

Hello I'v been considering buying a trials bicycle but I'm afraid I'l pick up bad habits for its motorized counterparts such as uneven peg weighting from pedaling. please tell me any bad habits I might pick up if I were to take up bike trials.
