  1. In theory: If it fits with no adaptor and a 180mm disc - it's the adaptor. If it fits on another pair of forks with the adaptor - it's the fork disc mount. If it doesn't fit either - it's the caliper. If you can be bothered to try all the options, then at least you know if you need to send the forks back.
  2. It's because the the theoretical axis of the inner track / raceway is slightly out of alignment with the mounting thread (and probably outer track / raceway - OD. alignment). So basically yes - shit tolerances. Although it shouldn't affect the performance as long as the two tracks are round, concentric and do not have too much run out.
  3. Liking that smooth style, great to watch.
  4. What a video, if all vids where half as good as this the world would be a better place!
  5. Think it's the trialtech sport, about 3 years old, round hole, double wall as stated in title. Anyone know the ERD. Think in might be 542mm but not sure.
  6. I have a similar setup (knocked up at work) with two hard steel pins pressed into a backplate then a big bolt through the middle to hold it all together, works every time.
  7. Ha ha yeh, thought that was going to be the final shot. Amazing vid though, non stop quality from start to finish.
  8. I'm running a der Baron with maxxis whelterweight tube and have had maybee one or two max punctures in nearly three years. Quite often run with fairly low pressure as well. Thinking about ut when i first had a der barron i had a maxxis DH tube in and it seemed worse for puncture resistance than the whelterweight.
  9. FAG, LUK and INA are all divisions of the Schaeffler group but aim at different markets. It's probably more important to make sure you get the right design/spec than worry too much about brand/manufacturer (el cheapo shit aside). Most Schaeffler products should be good but i know SKF are top quality aswell.
  10. It ended too soon. Which seams to be a rare occurrence with trials vids nowadays!
  11. Bit late now but i'm running a Der Baron, i think you get a little more bounce than with the Der Kaiser. As you probably remember i've always been keen on a light rear tyre but the Der Baron with a maxxis whelterwieght (best trade off between light weight and a bit of pinch resistance imo) isn't much heavier than my old setup. Add in the extra bounce and incredible puncture resistance and your on to a winner. Maybe next time though eh.
  12. I've been looking at getting a pair of mammut chalk shoes, really soft rubber sole and really nice a fit with a bit of toe protection . Purchased a pair from TK Max that were a size to big so i could test them on the bike then take them back for a refund. Ha ha. Grip seemed pretty good and they had a nice feel on the pedals. As a referrence i currently ride with vans classic slip ons which i do love for grip but would like something that really fits snug around your foot. http://www.mammut.ch/en/productDetail/303002000_v_0046_12/Chalk-Men.html
  13. Is this a general statement or in reference to the weather? Ha ha.
  14. Ha ha, well good luck! Genuinely hope it doesn't fail.
  15. It's impossible to say for sure but opening the clamp so wide is putting stress into the material/weld in a way that it wasn't designed for. Would you be happy with your stem failing after 6 months riding? I personally wouldn't do it but it's your decision not mine.
  16. It is possible, my mate got some trialtech high rise bars through the 75mm (think it was - the short one anyway) and the clamp snapped off the main body of the stem after about 6 months, so i wouldn't advise it.
  17. Also take into account that most people running a ffw are probably running an SL. I'd be interested to know what percentage of tarty's ffw sales are SL's and how the failure rate compares to other ffw's.
  18. Beasting stuff yet again chap. Your looking pretty comfortable on that frame.
  19. It appears the huge dose of sarcasm in previous post went over a couple of peoples heads
  20. Yes mate. Some beasting riding going down and super smooth as ever. That pillar line at the copthorne A lot harder than you make it look. Keep it up. Edit: This also makes me feel old.
