Hi, I've just bought my lad a used Saracen 2 zero MAD (if that makes a difference??). It needs new tyres and thought I'd ask for some advice. Which should I buy (He's only 9 so I guess the cheapest? but is that wise?) What should I expect to pay ? Any advice on where to buy them (we're between Leeds and Bradford, West Yorks) ? The current tyres say 20 inch but someone told me we need 19inch on the rear. Looking on the internet there seems to be both. I presume we need 20inch. True ? The widths seem odd, the bike has 2.125 on the front and 2.25 on the rear. Are these standard sizes ? If I can't/don't match these widths, what do recommend I go for and would I ne…

Some of you will know Sam and Tom Oliver. Ex Motorcycle Trials Riders (well still ride now and then) - converted to bike trials fairly recently, and been training hard, including the odd excursion with Ot Pi. The work showed today at round 1 of the British Champs: Sam came 1st in his age group (12-13) by a fairly large margin, losing 5 marks, the next being around the 40 mark. Tom came 2nd in the 10 year olds. Not a bad result at all - keep it up lads

Pre-entering is encouraged (deadline Monday 12th September), as it helps us enormously with the organisation, but entries will be accepted on the day as well (Please note that there will be a late entry fee of five pounds payable for late entries however). Non-UK riders are also welcome! Don't forget to check the r…

What do Tone Bou, Albert Cabestany, Jeroni Fajardo & Takahishi Fujinami have in common? Well apart from being top world trials riders they all made there name in winning world biketrial championships before they moved to the motorized variety. They have managed to transfer the skills they learnt on a bicycle with balance and hopping onto the motorbikes with great success. In both Spain and Japan the sport of biketrials is big and is bringing new riders through all the time for a future on the World trials circuit. Britain has a small dedicated biketrial following and maybe can do the same in future being a stepping stone into motorbike trials. Currently we have t…
