  1. I would have thought the main reasons for going for the Ozonys was the vertical dropouts?
  2. Still has exactly the same "peeking over his bars" ride position though.

  4. Aaahh! There’s your problem! Try taking off those hush puppies and putting on some more acceptable footwear. They're offending the air around them so much it’s trying to get into your brakes.
  5. I was careful not to name anyone. Especially myself.
  6. Sorry, I didn’t mean this thread in particular. Most of their videos get slated - that’s what I was on about. It always seems like they're looked down on as riders for their riding and the bikes they ride and the way they name their YouTube videos.
  7. I've said it before and Ill say it again, that Sky looks like a hindrance for Mike. Adrian looks like hes got a good solid style.
  8. Yeah, I dont get why he runs a zero degree stem with loads of stackers. Could loose some of the stack with a higher rise stem. The low frame doesnt do it for me either but at least the saddle doesnt hit the tyre. It annoys me a little that the Saint graphic points one way and the Inspired points the other... No pedal pins in either?
  9. Anyone who takes the piss out of Euan Beaden wins in my books. That Euan dub step video made me laugh. Laughed at the brake noises over the BMX riding and the swooshing from side to side Euans..
  10. My biggest regret is never running a rear disc on mine.
  11. Agreed that the saddle looks terrible although I bet there’s room to tilt it a little more without it hitting the tyre so it looked more acceptable. Some people can get carried away with saddle angle. Ive seen a few that looked more like a beckoning erection waiting to be mounted. Thats the way I see it anyway I don’t know what the geo is but it looks more like my Marino Archive geo than Inspireds Arcade geo. For me the Arcade has a little too much reach (im a short ars) so this Ozonys I-Ron* (*I can’t say it any other way) would be better for the shorter street rider? I don’t think the BB looks too low. The reason the earlier 24" street bikes had +35bb was to bring the bb up to the same height as a 26" with around +10, which was considered "streety" for a 26". It was soon realised this didn’t have to be the case and the BB heights were dropped to give a more "standing in the bike" feeling rather than a "standing over the bike" feeling. Im loving the idea of those forks. Sure, it would suck if that thread got damaged but I bet it feels solid!
  12. Watched a few episodes of Extreme Make Over the other day. Laughed so hard at some parts.
  13. Damn you industrial accident!!!
  14. Now you can be truly welcomed to the world of Trials. Had a cold for 3 weeks. Snotters now coming out with blood. Not cool but kinda cool at the same time.
  15. Don’t worry man, it's not you. It’s a Triboulats Brothers hatred/snobbery thing. If it was anyone else running the street ride everyone would be foaming at the gash.
  16. Both you boys suit the Arcade. Euan especially seems to have settled in to riding it. Liked the kicker 180!

    Nice one. Instead of kicking on the pedal to get up to back wheel while you're rolling, try just yanking on the bars a bit like you're pulling into a manual to get up into back wheel. Might make your lines look a bit smoother? Just a thought.
  18. Lol! Honest answer is, Dave makes stickers(?) for a living. He made the big Dandy magazine cover for imaginate.
  19. Does it make the brake feel stiffer/give better braking performance if you run the pads at the same angle as the rim? I run echo clamps, no washers, and the pads have worm at the angle of the trial tech rim. Works fine but am I missing out on something better?
  20. It would be interesting to find out what the patent actually covers. His head presumably Ive watched my fair share of Dragons Den to know the details in the patent have to be pretty specific to make sure the design can't be copied. Ah-duh!
  21. Thats actually really cool! Didnt know those existed. Are they compact drive? 94bcd is it?
  22. One of the boys looks like Joe Oakley.
