Yep. They do huge moves and make them look sooo easy, just impressively annoying. My stomach is just getting the right way up again.

BULBs used to have 3 pawls and a 36tooth ratchet ring giving 36 engagement points The standard Pro IIs have 4 pawls and a 24 tooth ratchet ring giving 24 engagement points. The Pro II Trials have 2 sets of off set pawls and a 24 tooth ratchet ring giving 48 engagements. In my experience bulbs are good hubs and have lasted me well but Pro II trials hubs are better, last longer and feel more positive. Hope are excellent at fixing broken stuff as well, give them a ring first.

I'm more impressed now giving the normal pull more mechanical advantage which allows the weak brake to be as good as a standard HS33. Now onto a cable version? Should be fairly simple now the lever shape and piviots are sorted. Just be a way of locating the ends of the cables in the correct places (Probably over simplified with issues that I haven't thought about - its friday).

Well worth getting a half link chain if you still need to run a tensioner. Interesting tensioner, probably as basic as it gets.

Thats what I was thinking, due to the piviot placement, pushing down would not only have less force from the finger but less force because of where the piviot is. (I'd like to try one first before sticking by that comment but from looking at it, thats my first reaction). Is there a TPA for both brakes as I prefer my back brake with a bit less pull that the front (picky I know), also for pad wear? Lever looks like a good shape for pulling and pushing down. Looks way better than anything else that is on the market at present. Good luck with it.

Interesting how the person taking the photos didn't do the usual of thing of shouting at you to move on. In which case you could have done so and there wouldn't have been an issue but as they didn't say anything, you assumed they had no issue and then they go and post it on a public forum - bit harsh. As long as you replaced the blocks where you found them, not really an issue I would have thought and its unlikely there was damage to the blocks. The person responsible for the site also has a duty to ensure that it is adequately fenced to prevent access - there is even special reference with respect to minors.

Nice idea Ali. Surely if they were going to do it again, I think the idea of sponsering a top british rider to publisise the frame would be good and why would they only make one geo? They did two sizes originally (13" and 15" if I remember correctly). Then get one top rider for each frame style. They could do one street version (04 pure or 26" version of the ET Ashton) and one comp version (1090, 72deg, 380cs, +30bb) - both would look lovely with that downtube.

I have one that looks remarkably similar. The spring (hacksaw blade) is fixed to a bent piece of metal to the rear of the chainstay with zip ties - again, no problems in the few months I've had it. It also gets hidden under the chainstay protector. Amazing how similar it is yet no copying was involved. Phone pic below. Instead os a jockey wheel I thought I'd go for 2 bent bits of metal (started as a plastic coat hanger but that couldn't hack it).

Very impressive lines and you made them all look too easy. Inspiring vid. Most of the comments on individual lines have been said - but still, fair play.

My two favourite bits. Never seen a candy bar wheelie before and never knew you could wheelie whilst being backwards on a bike.

Pretty much what I was going to say.

That is some impressive skill, balance and balls. Amazing rider and he just keeps getting better which is scary.

I see the taps are improving. Bet you end up burning the pallets at the end of the year

Nice vid. Looking good on the new frame Will - have to sell your helmet to pay it off?

Had to watch that twice - well impressive. Has he got a slightly dented chainstay? looks quite kinked up.

Worked better for me than Vimeo. Good vid, nice to see a differnt style - definitely a good how to vid. You've got to make that section harder now as you cleaned it. Not sure how you'd do it backwards as you'd need a massive hook and a huge gap up but nive practice section. The sloping pallet should also be steeper so you have to comit fully to back wheel (prehaps at a lower height though).

Nice vid, good to see an interesting natural vid. Liked the static hooks on the rocks, awesome balance on some of them. Still liking the look of the quark.

Awesome, fair play. Nice loking bike as well

Vrey nice. Loved the picnic bench at the end. Good looking riding spots and only slightly jealous of the weather. Also glad about the lack of fisheye.

Noice. Looks like the change of bike is suiting you. Hope it holds up to that sort of riding for a while.

The A3 long is pretty long as well. The reach was the same as my 04 long Control if not a bit longer. Think the WB is about 1030. (I'm 6'4")

Nice chilled vid. Looks like more of a laugh than a serious ride - the way it should be. Thanks for sticking it on trials tube - gives me stuff to watch in my lunch 1/2 hour.

Fair play. Aweome. And that is also silghtly impressive

I'm a fan of 18:16 with 170mm cranks. My knees can't cope with 18:15.

Nice routing for the front hose. Not Ben's old frame is it?
