Bashing supplies from Echo.

We all make mistakes, and sometimes that can include getting up stuff while out riding.  Fortunately, Echo have you (and your freewheel/sprocket) covered thanks to two new products - the Urban 2012 Bashring and the Mini Bashplate.

The Urban bashring is a slight re-design from their long-standing older model, with the new 18t bashring weighing the same weight as the previous 16t model.  Not bad!  They look pretty cool too. 

The Mini bashplate is designed specifically for 2012 and newer Echo Lite and Lite SL frames with the slightly stumpier bash mount design.  These won't fit older models (or any other brand, including the new Koxx Sky 2 bikes)!

Big ENO!

The White Industries ENO Trials freewheels have been a mainstay of the trials world for a long ol' time now (I still remember being excited when my own turned up 7 or 8 years ago), and after quite a few years of only being around in the popular 18t size they've now been upsized!  We've got the 20t (below) and 22t (above) models available now, for £89.00.

Stan Shaw Summer 2011

Stan somehow managed to get an entire videos-worth of clips lying around on his hard-drive from last summer, so now they're being given an airing!  Some tech riding all with his trademark smooth style. 

And yeah, it's a carbon fibre top tube, and no you can't buy them like that...

British Trials Cup Rd. 2, Blackpool

Congratulations to James, Adam and Cap for their podiums at Round 2 of the British Trials Cup in Blackpool last weekend.  For full results, click here.

Inspired Skye Frame Kit - back in stock!

The Inspired Skye Frame Kits are now back in stock, unexpectedly soon!  We're also expecting some of the Fourplay Pro and Team bikes to come back into stock in about a week too...

Try-All Sky Rims

As found on the Sky 2 20" and 26" bikes, the Sky rims are now available separately!  We have the Rear 19", Front 20", Rear 26" and Front 26" rims available, only in black.

Mike Steidley

Mike Steidley has been one of our team riders for a pretty long time now, doing countless shows all around the US (and further afield!) as well as taking part in the US trials comps.  He recently took a trip to France, and here's the video from the time he spent there!  If you'd like to keep up with Mike's travels, click here to check out his Fan page.

What goes around comes around...

2 years or so ago, our very own Ali C starred in a Gatorade advert with Olympian and world champion cyclist Victoria Pendleton, which you can check out here:



Now, we've got some Gatorade Pro Series products in stock!  We've got a Pro Series Starter Pack, the Prime 01 drink, Perform 02 powder sticks and the Recover 03 drinks in stock.  I'm a pretty big fan of the orange flavour - easily the nicest energy drink I've tried!

RockMan 2012 products.

So - we've had a chance to un-pack our latest RockMan order, and as well as stocking up on some older bits and pieces we've now got some new items in stock.

The Liberté is their latest 26" frame, coming in at £70 cheaper than their other 26" frames such as theRockMan Slate 3.  The geometry's also a bit more conventional, with a lower BB than the rest of the RockMan range at +55mm.

The Radix is the replacement frame for RockMan's first venture into the 24" market.  Featuring more comp-inspired geo than most other 24" frames out at the moment, and a low overall frame weight, this should be an interesting option for those wanting to give 24" trials a try.  Now 24" bikes are officially 'comp legal' expect to see this category taking off...

The Manus 3 is the latest in RockMan's popular 20" line, this time coming in an anodised green finish, only with a Sky 2-esque high BB (+95mm!) and post mount disc mount.

3 bars have been added to RockMan's bar  range - the 7050 Riser, the 7075 Riser and the new unidirectional carbon weave Carbon Riser.

RockMan's long-standing CNC Blues have now got a fresh new look courtesy of some blue anodised backings, but still with the same tried-and-tested brake pad compound.

 

Their hub range has also been tweaked for 2012, now featuring new shape hubs with different finishes, graphics and prices!  The 135mm Sealed Rear - available in either this anodised Black finish or in a cool anodised silver (the rest of their hubs are available in these colour options too) is now £50 or so less than it used to be, as well as weighing a bit less too.  A good combination...

Their two front hubs (both Disc and Non Disc) have been updated now to feature slightly tweaked designs once again:

Their Sealed Disc Rear 116mm hub has also had a slight facelift too - it's also now the lightest rear disc hub on the market (lighter than most non disc models!):

...and lastly, the Single Wall Front and Single Wall Rear rims have had a slight tweak too to help their graphics match up with the new version found on the 20" Forged Stem.

Flipp's new video

Flipp managed to take advantage of a lull in what seems like weeks of constant rain to go and hit up the streets of Bradford, Huddersfield and Morley over two Saturdays with riding-friend Luke Cockshott to his newest video - Hemvagen.  Nice TrialsKings tribute lines in here too!

Those brakeless beam gaps - I just don't understand how...

FiveTen Danny MacAskill shoe now in!

We've just received our fresh order from FiveTen, featuring the new Danny MacAskill signature shoe - which you can view here!



They feature some nice little touches like the toe reinforcement at the front - handy for avoiding any painful footjam whip related injuries - and a reinforced section at the heel of the shoe too.  They've also got a custom gel insole specific to the Danny shoe which helps minimise the risk of heel bruises as well as taking some of the sting out of heavy landings.

New Onza Products

We have some new bits and pieces in from Onza - the Pro Diamond Side Drilled Front 20" and Front 26" and the updated Zoot Pro Framekit.

Adam Morewood

Our youngest team rider, Adam Morewood, has had a good few weeks - winning his category at K-124 Days (totally cleaning the trial!), as well as at the recent TykeTrial comp at Addingham Moorside.  If you haven't seen Adam riding yet, here's a quick video to show you what you're missing!

Summer imminent...

Continuing our "Team riders coming out of hibernation" theme, Cap has put together this new video featuring himself, Matt Arkwright and Stan.  Some pretty awesome riding throughout (even including some lesser-spotted TartyDays footage)!



For more videos, feel free to check out our Media Page.

2012 Onza sealed hubs.

We've got a range of sealed disc hubs from Onza on the home page - a Sealed Disc Front, Sealed Non Disc Front, Sealed Disc Rear and Sealed Non Disc Rear.  That's a whole lotta seals.

New Onza products...

We've just had a fresh delivery of some Onza products which should be up on the site in the next day or two.  If you're in need of a new hub or a new wheelset for your bike, we may have something that'll tickle your fancy...

Joe Maher's latest vid!

Now the weather's improving gradually, Joe Maher's left the safety of Barrow's barn for the outdoor sections (as well as a bit of street too!).  Still got it!



We've also got a bunch of videos up on the Media page too, so head over there afterwards to see what's up.

Try-All parts.

Yet more new products - this from Try-All.  The long-running Try-All 'H'100 Non Disc front hub has seen a re-design which means it's shed both weight and cost - a lower weight of 65.7g and a lower price of £45.  If you need a nice, non-disc front hub (28h only!) then look no further!

The Symetrik bashring has also been given a cosmetic tweak, giving a more subtle, stealthy look.

The Inspired Skye.

We've had a chance to get some updated photos and video of the beastin' Inspired Skye, and here it is! Easily one of the nicest bikes we sell, and one of the most fully thought-through trials bikes out there. So many nice touches and features...

Media updates.

We've had a quick spruce up of our media and team rider pages, so head on over to the Rider pages and Video page to check it all out! There are some new videos posted there so you may have a pleasant surprise...

Welcome to the team, Flipp!

To cut a long story short, Flipp is awesome! Awesome rider, sound guy and not scared of sending it when he has to. Welcome to the team!



The above video was filmed last Friday afternoon at Lee Quarry, near Bacup (if you haven't gone there yet, you really ought to...).

While I'm here, check out one of his older videos - as a bonus fact, the line at 1:48 is the best line ever. Remember: that's a fact, not an opinion.

New from Try-All...

We've just received a fresh shipment from Koxx/Try-All featuring some old bits (including the "Best grips in the world" - according to Mark) as well as some new, such as these new lightest-on-the-market alloy screw-on sprockets.



We've also got a couple of new bikes as well as some other bits and pieces to go on the site in the next couple of days - stay tuned...

Joe Maher - 51.8

"Mr. Productivity" Joe Maher has put out another video from Barrow Farm which is definitely worth a watch! As a little note, Barrow Farm is now open for the year - make the most of our little mini summer and go check it out!

Something old, something new...

We've got a few new Hope products in stock thanks to our most recent delivery - these include the QR Seat Clamps, Bolt Seat Clamps and the brand new Hope Trial Zone Levers. As usual from Hope they're all great quality, and work as good as they look!







We've also got not 1 but 2 'new' Hope T-shirts too!
