They really got their money's worth out of that pointy rock that took out Julian in the first section. I love how he bounced back and crushed the house in the next section, he definitely has big pedal ups dialed. I like seeing the same guys and knowing their individual style and strengths, there is a good rivalry at the moment (without Jack there).

Huge stair set. My bad again not checking this was 3yrs ago on another video.

Adrian Newey is leaving RedBull. Didn't see that one coming. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cmm3v9ny78eo

Hello everyone, I recently found a very well written article about 2g speed . I haven't seen such quality information on this topic for a long time, even wikipedia can't compete with this article. If you needed information about 2g speed, this site will help you to find and understand every detail!!!

I learned alot about nb iot through this site only today.What an exciting idea! The data transfer to other systems will be definitely more safe and fast since this new and improved technology has an ability to do so. This page will take an in-depth look at the technology and I recommed you read aboit it.

...But food containers are legit?

That was an amazing competition. Keep in mind it was just a French Cup, but it just looked and felt like a World Cup! Amazing organization from Kenael Godde and the Dole club there.

Fair enough!

I'm focusing on the reintroduction of just Heatsink Magura pads in powerpad backings for this summer. However, my friends at Tartybikes have got the reintroduction of TNN CNCed V pads in the pipeline and I know from my discussions with Ben@Tartybikes that they'll be mint!

@Szymon thanks for that info! I didn't know the existence of the Spank Race rims... also I wasn't aware that I could just changing the rim for lighting the bike (I just thinking about buying a whole wheel) thing is, my rim is about 639g, and Spank Spike Race is about 430g, so, not sure where that -790g came from? 😅 anyway it's good info!! tubolito thing I knew about that, gonna give it a try! about the truvativ/Sram GX cranksets I didn't know, I will try to buy them second hand, thanks for the info!!

No problem! Looks like the CNC backings are going ahead with a small manufacturer about 5 miles from the Tarty warehouse. Great to keep things local where possible 😎

I guess you guys are hurting for business with the advent of AI services, huh? Also - why is it always this thread that gets targetted?

That's really interesting. Thanks for your input. I really wanted to go with SD7 levers but well, you made me think... There has been so much experiencing by Atomz when they were made by Sunn with V-brakes it's crazy. That led to the ATS system the Jealousy still uses actually. So many factors can change the feel of the lever or the behaviour of the brake it's almost impossible to make the brake perfect for everyone. As you say the adjustment on the SD7 makes the brake spongier but it should also make it more more powerful. So it's always a compromise you have to choose. Some top riders like Robin Berchiatti for example prefer a spongier brake feeling with Hope brakes, others with HS33 and I don't know why. It's always down to personal preference I guess!

I just use SD5s with an FR5 lever. Can't fault them. Work amazingly and cheap as chips. I really don't think it's worth spending any more money than that. The key is to use SP51, as you mentioned. I got the TNN pads and they're fine. Nothing lifechanging. They're just pads. They reliably stop the wheel. SD7 vs FR5 levers: SD7 has the adjustment and so can deliver more power, but I find it makes the brake feel spongier. This is the same when using them with a disc. I currently have an SD7 on the vee because I snapped my FR5 and that's what I had spare, but the FR5 feels stiffer under the finger, and works better as a result. The FR5 is also simpler with just the one moving part, and a fixed anchor. Feels nicer in terms of response, same lever blade shape for ultimate comfort, marginally lighter, cheaper... can't really beat that!

You will save the most weight on the wheels. Change rims for Inspired Team or Spank Race 33 with double butted spokes. This will give you -790g. Tubolito -200g. Truvativ Descendant/Sram GX DUB Cranks -500g. Easy to buy second hand.

So, as V-brake adapters and pads are now back on the market, it's time to change these HS33 brakes for something better. Here is the setup I aim for: Levers: Avid SD7 Pads: Heatsink (if they make some) or TNN Outer and inner cable: Shimano SP51 or Odyssey Linear Slick along with Clarks or any pre-stretched teflon covered cable. Adapters: Heatsink or Tarty ones depending on how they look. I am now in need of calipers. I don't know if they really make a difference performance wise so what should I get? Avid Ultimate or Shimano XTR are overpriced but maybe they are the best? Otherwise what other option do I have that suit trials use? I have always used basic Shimano ones in the past but now I really want to know if something is best? Thanks for the advices and your time!

That is amazing news. Thanks for that.

Especially on a more streety build!

Carbon road cranks for a trials bike? I love a sketchy, inappropriately used Chinese bike part, but that's too far IMO. Maybe the money would be better spent elsewhere. Rotating weight perhaps? What is the rest of your spec now?
