Excuse me Robert??? :(

Hi All, I've just discovered that entries for the 2009 Spring Fat Tyre Festival at Ourimbah open on Monday September 14th.... This thing has been awesome the last couple of years.... Check it out. http://www.wannaride.com.au/ Adam

Nice pair of bib shorts for riding. Get home and go stand in the ocean for a while or sit with your feet elevated = same effect as skins.... But if you wanna pay money to look like a triathlete go ahead :)

I work with the Scotsman at the Depot and can confirm that yes, Peat and Minar will be at the shop at around eleven to grab a Heckler and a Superlight for some training miles prior to the World Cup next weekend.... Steve likes Stella Artois ;)

Holy shit that's the best thing I have ever seen........!!! ;)

Hi All, 2008 Trials Titles to be held MAY 11TH at ARCADIA See the OTN link for details.... http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=35080 Adam

I'd be interested to have a read of the discs one.... I've been running rear disc for six months or something, and at first found that with the rotors in the traditional direction, they were colapsing and BADLY warping under reverse loads........ Would be interested in anything to do with...

Nice work man...... Must've taken ages..... I'd actually be curious to see the difference in strength between eyeletted and non-eyeletted rims and, as Gary said, drilling of sidewalls..... Adam

The problem with DJ bikes is not the weight, but the geometry..... You can definitely learn the basics on them, but you really have no room to move on the bike once you get it up on the rear wheel.... I'd always recommend a smaller XC frame over a DJ......

Hi All, Took me a week, but they are up..... http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=26201 Regards, Adam

Again, not sure what your price range is, but I am building up 2 brand new Echo Pures at work that will be going for around the $1100 mark.... Should have one of them finished this week..... Should be a sweet beginners bike.... Adam

As you are coming from a MTB background i would say stick with 26inch. Mods are easier to learn static moves like gaps and sidehops, but a 26 will also allow you to learn a lot of moves that will make you a better trail rider. I have always ridden 26 and while I do enjoy the flickiness of 20s...

Rhinos come with a pretty basic kit...... Are we talking about a 20 or 26 inch one....???

Thanks Rob..... Observedtrials.net seems to be down for a bit. All the details are also posted on www.sydneytrials.com One week to go guys, hope to se you all there :)

OK.... Let me first start by saying that I organise trials comps. Apart from work at a bike shop that's what I do. The BC Course wasn't a good course. Hell, it wasn't a good practce/warm up area for a national comp. I have been in touch daily with the guys 'building' the trials course and as...

Actually at Lithgow the organisers thought "Hey, this place has some rad stuff for trials, let's invite them as they may enjoy it." Whereas at Stromlo, they have gone..... "Yeah cool spot for XC, nice big hill for DH, we can get a shitload of sand in for 4X......" Then someone at the back...

Awesome, pre entry only, a huge entry fee and a course that hasn't even commenced construction yet...... That should keep the numbers nice and low :confused: Maybe next year we won't even need to hold a trials comp at all, wouldn't that be super :mad:

Depends a lot on what frame you are running to I guess...... I can't think of a trials specific frame on the market that will accomodate the length of a suspenson fork as it would mess the geometry up too much (and no I don't count Ryan Leech's Norco as trials specific). If you are running...

Gee..... It's been about 7 years since I ran a suspension fork on a trials bike.... Hard question to answer. Generally suspension sucks for trials as it alters your geometry and as such you handling. I'd probably look at something like a RockSHox Tora 318. They are an air fork so you...

I have always run 22-18 or 16-13 on stock bikes depending on what bike I was riding - ie the Koxx can't take anyhing bigger than an 18 up from, designed for 18-15 gear that all the Euros love.... Generally if you gear it higher (harder) you gain power but lose precision and vice versa. I...
