I'm now thinking of saving up for a trials bike but know nothing about
them. Can anyone give me a few pointers and perhaps some good shops?
Thank you

If you think the video's impressive, it's even more impressive when you see
it live. They have a very good local crew up at Fort William - if you're
going to be up there for the World Cup in September you're bound to see
them.

The trick is very low ratio fixed gear, tubeless tyres run at very low
pressure, and very precise brakes - Magura hydraulic rim brakes seem to
the the best.

Watch the outtakes at the end, feel the pain. :-)

People here generally know more about bikes that you sit on and pedal.
