Ed Tongue and his raw Arcade

I had actually thought those Trial Tech forks would have pumped his front end up a bit compared to the old koxx forks he used ro run.

His geo couldn't have been that bad? He busts out amazing shit on any bike he picks up! Weird/sad.

:ermm:

His frame looks proper old school though, I remember back in the Zero/Zebdi/Norco days that the shorter forks of yesteryear always felt better on those frames, low bb, low front etc, might be the same deal. Probably the same reason he has a low bar & stem with barely any stackers compared to your average Hex.

To be fair, with the Hex the reason you have the higher front end is almost exclusively due to the higher BB. So yeah, lower BB wouldn't really be ideal with a higher front end if you're used to a low/low setup.

Either that or he just had a ride on ET's Arcade and realised what he was missing out on with sticking to a 20-year-old setup :P

For cereal though, it does suck that firstly he had a bad trip and secondly there won't be some sweet sweet Akrigg trials footage.
