  1. Had to search for your most recent vids after meeting you in Lillehammer and Hafjell..Holy shit this was the best vid i've ever seen! Such a nice style, i'm a big fan
  2. They engage at once, unlimeted enganements.. The problem is the squishy feeling. I had one for in 2004-2005, all i can say is that it was good to come back to proper engagements again. I can only describe it as having a rubberband as a chain. I heard alot of them blow up when used in trials, but mine lasted ok.
  3. Anyone seen this amazing deal? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_frames/monty_230_xhydra_frame_and_wheels/c14p12430.html Bring back so many memories! If the tarty guys read this; Whats the history behind this? Is it a frame that never has been sold or are they producing oldschool frames again?
  4. It's cool, looks oldschool Some did it because it requires longer spokes, so if you have some spokes that are too long, this could be the only way to build the wheel withouth buying new spokes.
  5. They are of the diameter and the angle is correct? I believe the Tensile got a pretty standard 45*/45* bearing.. The same bearing size i have on my trials bike with brakes (Neon headset) , all mountain bike(Nukeproof) and road bike(Ritchey).
  6. They are tabletops yes. Though, i would like to change them to something heavier with bigger volume so i can run lower pressure. The crown race was just the crown race from the old headset, it had the same angle as the Tensile so i didn't see any reason to change it.
  7. Nope, i had another crown race on. I lost the original from Tensile. The fork had this crown race from new, i think i shotblasted the fork with that crown race.
  8. I broke a Neon fork autumn2013. This fork was not blasted EDIT: the fork that broke was shotblasted with sand.
  9. Shotblasted frame Thanks everyone, be cautious with these forks..
  10. I'm mostly riding with brakes, but this time i was showing trials to a friend so he borrowed my trialsbike with brakes. I have trialtechs on my bike with brakes, have there been any breakage of these? I have been riding trials for 10 years now, and have broken two forks in that time. Have mostly used Echo Urbans which have been bulletproof. EDIT: Yep, one tooth and chipped another! Estimated cost by my dentist: 500gbp. 3 stiches in my forehead and 4 stisches in my upperlip.
  11. I hate bad forks. Broke my Neon curved fork some months ago. Luckily i noticed when trackstanding. This time i was not so lucky. Bunny over a small ledge and flat landing. No big deal at all. The Because fork broke, and i had no chance to dampen the fall. My face took it I have Trialtech forks now. Should i trust them?
  12. Added you on facebook I just find it very curious that someone wants to have thousands of trials "friends" they do not really know.. just because i they the same type of bike
  13. I have some trials riders adding me on facebook every now and then. Why? Just because we ride the same small sports doesn't mean we should be facebookfriends? I have a pic of me trackstanding as a profile pic.. so it's maybe my fault, but i do still not understand the logic behind this. The two newest guys are Patrick Smit and Therry Klinkenberg
  14. Thanks for the info.. I guess i have the first of both, but is there any way to recognize the different frames? Cs might be the easiest to measure.. BB height is always different unless you have the correct fork.
