One gem of a build. Didn't Clive Leeson make a long wheelbase comp version of this also?

Interesting Sprint quali

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I nearly pulled the trigger on a 240 for my MTB recently, but 90 EPs will be even better. Glad I waited / forgot now, haha.

DT swiss's new hub has 90 engagement points and uses a similar but bigger version of the current 240's ratchet. With a 18/15 transmission it shall feel like a 108 POE front freewheel. The DT swiss star system is amazing, it feels less spongy than other systems and is really light and reliable. Too me the best system. It seems DT swiss won't currently offer a singlespeed version though 😐 Would be nice on an Enduro bike.

Nice to see your videos are back! The first line with your street trials is amazing! I did not expect the bar spin. The one at 3:24 is so smooth, no extra hop, Manifesto style 😍

Tensioners now available, first batch sold out overnight but we've got some more made up: TartyBikes RD Hybrid Tensioner Cheeky Disc Protector including a slot (rather than the usual hole) at the axle end so it can be fitted and removed easily. This allows you to use the slot at the bottom as disc straightener tool: TartyBikes RD Disc Protector 'Wideboy' brake booster also now in stock, ready for release of V-Brake adaptors in the near future: TartyBikes RD 'Wideboy' V-Brake Booster

Same old

Hi all, After a few years of absence, and in time for the 20th anniversary of Heatsink Bikes, the Heatsink Chain Tensioner is now available to buy! https://www.heatsinkbikes.com/tensioner Free postage & double sided Heatsink chainstay protector for a limited period! As is often the way, good news comes in pairs - Heatsink V Adapters are coming next week! Steve

Chem trails will do that

Need some rims to fit an old school bike - what's the best options here? Doesn't seem to be a lot of choice out there for rim brakes Ideal would be something like a d521 and something a bit lighter up front.

That is super nice work! Well done!

Holy sh*t at 0:46! How the hell does he control the bike.

Failed to understand during a recent London visit how I was able to get an impressive 4G network whilst travelling on the jubilee line from Canning Town to Westminster watching YouTube content, but struggled to get decent 4G/5G when outside on the streets.

Thought the frame could do with a freshen up for 2024. Really happy with the colour, used some funky 2k aerosol lacquer on this too that seems to have come out really well. reworked the carbon frame protectors, skinned them again in plain black carbon instead of the green I had previously.

Looks awesome! I always fancied a Leeson with the peg conversion, if only I could go back in time!

Adulting continues! Picked up our brand new Seat Arona FR on Friday, full dad wagon

Only thing is the finish now of the frame as it’s quite dull.

I found using greater stopping power pads on the rear can solve the problem in a different way. rear lever still feels squisy, but when riding, both brake preformed pretty much 90% alike.(hose 70cm vs 220cm) I ordered stiffer 170cm hose for rear brake, but since the pads strategy went well, I didn't bother.

It seems also that some hoses are stiffer than other. Goodridge had a good call. But even with stiffer hoses, there will always be a difference. Even with V-brakes and linear cables I can notice a slight difference. Maybe you have also more forces in your right hand too.

Ali experiments with head angles. @Ali C: Do not forget that the lower part of the Slack-R raises the front of the bike of 10mm or more. It is like riding a fork with a10mm higher A2C. This slacks the head angle from 0,5°. But still your bike head angle should be around 72°, not 70°. Is there maybe a difference in A2C between the pro fork and the team fork? I don't think so, but who knows. I guess one further drawback of having a slacker head angle and thus longer wheelbase is that the rotations are harder to execute. Did you try some bunnies 360°? What about static hook? You are right, Flatland BMXs have really steep head angles. Matthias Dandois rides a 75,5° currently (Haro La Bastille).

Perhaps be (even more) picky with the bleed? I find it unnoticeable on my bike when the bleed is perfect (and I'm pretty anal-retentive myself about these things). With Hope T3V4, MT5s, Shigura, Hayes, no issues at all, at least not lever feel related To get the last bits of air out, I sometimes hang my brakes vertically overnight with the lever clamped down. Hit it with a screwdriver handle once in awhile to dislodge bubbles so they can all move towards the lever, next day slowly release the lever, do a fluid top up and all good.

Yes, I forgot to mention. Adjusting the reach to further out definitely helps but I find the rear brake to be noticeably softer and engaging closer to the bar still.

I definitely agree with all three of you guys. It seems like as long as he's able to stay in his warp speed flow state he's magic, but in the big comps when something interrupts that flow, things fall short. Missed flags and the lot. But he's still my favorite comp rider to watch. Style and creativity for days. And he's got the power to back it up now.

Wasn't sure where to put this video but I laughed so hard watching this.
