nzralphy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 What would be the best bang for the buck? I have a ty250A It has about 40% Michelin x11 trials tires and stock shocks. Would I be better off with new Betors or comparable shocks or a new set of sticky Michelins or IRC'S.I ride mostly rock. Shocks Shocks Shocks ........ Without good shocks you'll get no traction with good or bad tyres!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon v8 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just explain to me then how do rigid trials bikes manage to move ???? Exactly - I've always really enjoyed watching rigids gripping on a muddy climb where young riders on mono's lose traction by gunning it,very satisfying.

b40rt Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 A rigid rear is probably better than knackered shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 What a dumb thing to say...... Steam trains use less diesel than a diesel train. There, see i can do it too. The bike has shocks on it, it will be competing against shocked bikes. .... don't compare different rider on different bikes and say how remarkable bla bla bla....... the difference between shocks that are great and average ones is HUGE. Get shocks that work and are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
