June 11, 200620 yr Author Low North looks good, perhaps you could go there when a trial is on there are loads of kids on trials bikes, and you could ask what the situation with practicing on a push bike is. Also in the scarborough there are those new sea defences.......... What about Dalby? bob
June 13, 200620 yr Author I guess there aren't many people following this thread, or many people into biketrials at the moment, but im buying this bike. clicky Now all i've got to do is figure out how to pay for it.... Bob
June 19, 200620 yr Grind your rim to improve braking and get some decent pads made for grinds. Don't use tar
June 20, 200620 yr Author Since im not buying new and so the bike won't be in a bike shop unless it needs to be then im going to try running it with smooth rims until i get fed up and the i will send the wheel away for a grind. Bob
June 21, 200620 yr WHAT????? You grind your own rims mate Send them away Golly! Gosh! you get your angle grinder wack it at about a 45 degree angle and rub it up and down your rim
June 21, 200620 yr Author ha you haven't seen me with an angle grinder I'm only gonna grind it if i'm not satisfied with the brake or if i am atking it into a bike shop for a true anyway. I'm guessin i'll bend the wheel first so it'll probably be a bike shop doing it. I'm also not very good at truing wheels. If i do get fed up with a slippy brake then i might get the grinder back out, but i'll have a good practice first. Bob
