Info on the frame is on the tartybikes site (link above). Sounds very nice to me. edit :)

nice one danny! well deserved

I just keep getting 'message sending failed' :/

who knows how well it'll hold a grind though? We need to know what it is made out of, nevermind this 'dent-proof' shite. I'm sure echo changed the rims with the cnc cutouts to a weaker material (whole rim 600g ish?), i don't know how well they held a grind but the older echo rims were amazing for holding them.

I have found a few pads to work very well in the rain, on a grind anyway. Coust pads and Koxx brown pads. The Coustellier ones worked better than the browns but the browns still had very good performance.

You are a tit, I don't like your riding style. You having a laugh?

idiot, why does that make it shit? looks like a perfectly good site, designed for trial riders to go on and chat. much like this forum.

better pictures:

Well yes, it really should increase the power as more pressure is on the rim rarther than the seatstay causing it to flex. But, i took my control booster off my frame for the first time since I got my control frame, and I haven't noticed any difference in power, I just get plenty more noise, and a shitload of flex. Then again, just because I don't notice any more breaking power, does not mean there isn't an increase. Tom.

might come after work, will be mid day like.

I don't think he specified wheelbase, he said geometry. Why not go and measure some other lengths/angles/heights of your frame for the lad :blink:

not always? I thought it was an offer thing that select/tarty did.

You'll be lucky to find a maxxis minion single ply in 42/40a I'd say go for a maxxis lopes bling in 2.35 42a

that's a huge achievement! well done ben i'd love to see this video tom.

enjoyed that :blink: really fun trial. big thanks to Tom Rigg for getting me down there. thanks all who observed and organised - good job. nice one andy, givin' it loads over all the sections, looked to me as if you rode very well! tom.

I found the video boring, sorry.

I suggest coustellier or plazmatic. Coust's are the better 'all weather' pad, plazmatic pads tend to go a bit wank in the wet. Then again, the coust pads have very dodgey backings, which will often lead to your pad wearing at strange angles.
