Hmmm, good point. Why add something to a frame that they can just get people to buy as well as the frame for an extra x pounds.

Mine seems to be better without. Was running an echo two bolt but for some reason (after about 6 months without a problem)the slaves started slipping through the mounts, so started the investigation by taking the booster off...... solved the problem and the brake was awesome. Running TNN greens on trialtech rim.

I've been wondering why they haven't got round to doing this for a long time! After the introduction of inbuilt boosters the next step seemed obviously to mount the slave directly so that you'd only ever need the top mounts.

Repost, but a worthy one at that.

Love my vans slip ons - awesome grip and i love the flex in the sole. If you want a stiffer sole then i reckon five tens are probably the best option.

I did have a similar problem a couple of years ago when i had an old worn Rain King that i was trying out for the first time. When i bought a new one it was fine. This doesn't really help if your after a solution but at least you know your not the only one!

Loved that. Amazing vid.

they are indeed M5

Oh dear, for years i thought mongoose bikes were shit. :$

Love my TR's. I was unsure about what to get after my v12's eventually got a bit tired after 5 years of abuse but stuck the TR's on and they just felt right straight away. Awesome weight saving too.

Damn that kids good!

The KCNC levers are advertised as 23g

Impresive skills.

Just couldn't believe the riding the first time i saw this.

That's exactly what i'm running, and it does rub the spokes without the spacer. It's on a new pure with tryall cranks and echo sl freewheel.

I'm running an echo 15t on the slightly older silver tryall hub (i'm sure it's almost exactly the same as an "h") and i had to put a spacer in between the hub and the cog to stop the chain rubbing the spokes. You'll prob need the same

Correct. Looks like it's going to be another good one.

It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts. I'll place my bet on 3 months tops.

Awesome - used to have a white one of those, bit of a tank but i'm sure you'll have alot of fun on it.

Buying a half decent tube set is going to cost you quite a bit. You'll need access to mills and lathes unless you want to pay out extra for having someone do that for you. You'll need to learn how to weld (properly). Then you'll need to find somewhere to get the thing heat treated which is going to add more £££ Altogether it'll end up being quite costly. I'm not trying to put you off - just be prepared for alot of hard work to get anywhere near a result you'll be happy with.

Spray the forks the same blue as the frame. As for stem and bars i reckon matching them in to the colours of your wheelset can work really well, so if you've got silver hubs and black rims then get a silver stem and and black bars. having said that i think it only works if the colours are fairly neutral, and of course depends on what other colours you got going on. You don't want be rolling on a rainbow.

Sounds like there's something up there. Are both readings actual readings and not estimates? Turn off all the taps in the house and go and check to see if the meter is still ticking over. Obviously if it is then you've got a leak somewhere and i think that anything from the meter back is your responsibility so you'll be wanting to put a stop to it asap.

I find myself asking: why wouldn't you wear a helmet? I wear my helmet every time I go out and have done for about the last year or two. The previous 9-10 years of trials riding were a different matter, had never even put one. I do think high profile/sponsored riders have a moral obligation to set a good example to the younger riders.
