Try sanding down a part of the frame you will never be able to see! and even if you don't use it for the permanent Earth you can always chuck a blob of paint on it to protect it

Looks brilliant to me! and if you can ride up them railway sleeper steps I'd say you are ready for your novice trial (as long as they are something like ours in the South West of the UK

Best get changing all your bolts spindles etc to the highest grade titanium then!

Do you have more than one spirit level on the bike to make sure it is completely level? And have you noticed that all other manufacturers bikes are heavier than the Gas Gas?

Well it may well be completely differnt in Aus. but I'm sure the guys on here from your land will give you a heads up as they are a good bunch like that

Where are you? Round these parts you will have a fair amount of room on a novice section, 4 foot perhaps? you will most likely at this time of the year find som slippy cambered turns and small to medium climbs on the slippy stuff, perhaps the odd log but nothing that should cause much concern as long as you can lift the front wheel over them (maybe 2 foot? probably less) the same goes for rocks. But your main tests will be the cambered turns on the snotty stuff. Good luck on the first trial, and remember to relax and have fun

My current SXS ones have saved many a rock marks from my frame, swing arm and fork legs so they do me proud, maybe when I am good enough not to ride like a fool I will stop trying to protect my bike?

have a search in the forums as many people have had this problem but I can't remember the answer

Just got internet back after a couple of days and it would appear Michael Brown himself is selling THESE at the bottom of the page

Right my parents now live up in Scotland (Fochabers) near Inverness and I am off up there for a week in February (15th to 24th) I plan on taking the camera up with me and would like to be able to get out and have a look at the trials scene up there. So if any of you lot know of a decent trial on up that direction between 16th and 23rd of Feb could you let me know much appreciated

You mean like THIS

Have a look in HERE if you go to events on the left there should be a list for you

I think he is away for a little while, give him a shout next week some time and I'm sure he will let you know when the parts will be available

For my road helmets I have always stuck with AGV as they fit my head pretty much perfect and in them I have now had a few size M's but I have only ever had one trials helmet, being an Airoh in a L 59-60 which fits me perfectly also ( I had the pleasure of trying the sizes on) If you honestly can't try them on could you do a deal with the seller to send you two sizes out and you return the wrong one? Obviously you may loose a bit on postage but you only have one head. On his part if they are unsure of the option leave them you card details they obviously have your address so that should all be fine?

Why did you accept it? surely you should phone up whoever it was you bought it from and demand a straight one and make them arrange for a secure delivery for the new one. Also this should be their problem to arrange or at least cover the costs of the returned faulty part?

May be worth dropping the gearbox oil and have a look at that as well, may be the oil emulsifying (sp?) with water if so find the leak between the two before to much damage is done

What one of my pictures or one of my `moments` If you can't find a decent crash moment from r2ws gallery of me I'm sure we could find a good one somewere (there is always the next ride) Although depending what it is you are using them for my bike horizontal over my head is always a winner

Think the original of this made that weekly paper! maybe Sod it I'm tired and there are too many I personally like in my collection so have a look round HERE at your leisure and give me a shout if you like anything. P.S Ignore the pictures of me dressed as a woman

Just having a quick search through mine and this is the first I have come across if any good to you? Maybe a little to dark in the back?

Thought the title of this looked a bit risky, and yep I was right! Why do you want stronger wrists? Is one of yours falling behind I used to own one of them things and to be honest they are quite good I was using it for when I used to fly power kites (before I went harness and bar) But at the same time you just keep finding yourself trying to outdo others scores! And be warned this can be dangerous as you try to hard and the thing flys out of your tired hand

After snapping a front wheel I can vouch for these guys Havens Great ddeal on a full wheel and super fast delivery

There was a fair bit HERE personal fav was the shotgun cartridge type thing

I got a few more after that but they were damn hard!

No permanent damage hey?

I dunno but there is bound to be something over there? I found this one not Spain but CYPRUS is pretty nice
