Another video from Borys as he explores the city of Seoul:
It will be a few days without videos from Borys as he takes a couple of days off riding to rest and sight see BUT I’m sure there are will be more video of Korea through a trials riders eyes in the coming days.
Plenty of good stuff on the cards for today, it is hard to know where to begin.
First up we have the big news out of Canada where Kenny Belaey has won the 2010 World Championships for 26″. This is an exciting result for Kenny (and his many fans) who manages to be one of the busiest and hardest working trials riders on the scene while still being an all round nice guy and ambassador for the sport.

As you probably know Kenny Belaey rides his own signature Kenny Belaey Pro TNN brake pads. The Belaey Pro compound was developed with Kenny to create his own signature top performance pad. Kenny’s choice of TNN pads is testament to the fact that TNN are creating the best products on the market right here in Australia.
TNN brake pads aren’t the only ExpressiveBikes stocked product to see World Championships success.
Our premier range of Trialtech components featured on Rick Koekoek’s bike as he took a bronze medal in the 20″ Elite finals. Rick has been very influential in developing some of Trialtech’s top performing products including the Sport High Riser Handlebars and Trialtech’s Sport Forks. Trialtech rider Sam Oliver also picked up a 4th place in the Junior 20″ finals.

Taking out first spot on the 20″ Elite podium was Benito Ros riding for Koxx bikes with Try-All components. You will have seen the Koxx and Try-All range under ExpressiveBikes team rider Janine Jungfels. This great range of French designed competition gear takes input from riders like Ros who are looking to perform at the top of the sport. Check out the Try-All Sticky Lite tyres, in stock now.

Normally we find front tyres sell much slower then rears so we order smaller quantities. However the new Try-All 20×2.0 Sticky Lite tyre has been so popular we have sold out already. We will be ordering more ASAP but in the meantime we have a special promotion for everyone who needs a set of mod tyres.
While stocks last or until we get more Sticky Lite fronts back in store you can get:
a front Maxxis Creepy Crawler 20″ mod tyre for only $14 when you buy a Try-All Sticky Lite 19″ x 2.5 rear tyre.
That is a pair of great mod tyres for only $89, where you would normally pay $110 for the same set.
Of course if you are looking for other Try-All brand tyres we still have great stock of 19″ Sticky Lite Rear, 26″ Sticky Lite Rear and 26″ Sticky Lite Front.
We are pleased to announce the winner of our free DVD contest that we ran at the Aussie Moto Trials Championships:

New video from Australia’s top 26″ riders Joe Brewer and Andrew Dickey. Impressive as always.
Last weekend we headed out to Thunderbird Park to watch the 2010 Australian Moto Trials titles. We also found time to head up the creek and get some training in for next weekend’s Queensland Bike Trials Comp.

We also got some new stem lengths. For high bb stock bikes we have 130mm x 25 degree Sport stems and for 24″ bikes the Sport stem now comes in 110mm x 25 degree. For mod riders we have the Race stem now available in 165mm with a 35 degree rise.
