  4. Breath Yes 26

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by dave33

    Breath frame is totaly different from a koxx sky I am afraid to say. I previously rode a koxx sky. In comparison the breath is shorter in reach and the bb rise is slightly lower about 65mm depending on forks.

    Regarding the quality you have nothing to worry about. Buying any trials frame is equaly the same in terms on risk. As it's not going to last forever.

    Cop are it to my last 3 frames. Koxx sky, rockman slate and slate xl they are slightly more durable than than these in regards to down tube dents. As I found the rockman downtube to be easily dented.

    Also the head tube area where iv snapped rockmans has seemed to be alot stronger.

    As I expected it to crack at the head tube but it didn't.

    The weakest point is undoubtedly the welded area on the 4 bolt.

    I had a frame which cracked after 6 months of heavy riding on weld in this area.

    I was using the racing line nano lever and 2 bolt carbon booster which added to the streets on the lower weld where it cracked.

    Now running the standard 14mm racing line and no booster with out any problems.

    As for value you get alot for your money.

    Consider a nice 4 bolts booster to be on the safe side though

    similar to the5/10 then? Ideally I'd love amother pair of the ribos I have now, got the off here about 2 years ago, been spot on. Not too keen on the jisties (so) the huge ankle protection looks gash

    A fair bit stiffer again than five 10 guide tennie. Also more than twice the price of ribos. It sounds like you should maybe stick with ribos

    Think these come in black to http://amg-bikes.com/en/clothes-shoes/283-ribo-racing-yellow-shoes.html

    EBay, I got a pair of size 9s, normally a ten but was hoping for the best, bit too tight, and far to stiff for my liking, I think 5tens are as stiff. Lookin at fg shoes but needs to try em on 1st

    Fg have a hard sole and are nice and stiff. Maybe not what your after by the sounds of it.

  15. Tocco or Racing line?

    Couldnt you make a few different things on your machine, Dave?

    I see Euan Beaden making axles and bar ends which is cool. But a man with your experience, you could make a brake lever?

    Yes of course. It was my next step after the carbon wrapped magura which worked perfectly.

    There will be a new brake lever released in the next couple of months. Currently in testing. And has been since last summer.

    I'm still using racing line with no major problems

  25. Abel Mustieles not sponsored by Ozonys anymore

    In what way is he trying to screw him over? Guess you're reffering to Bruno screwing Abel in some way?

    Bruno taken away the ozonys dealership from amg bikes abels shop.

    He's also trying to make out that he was the one to end the contract as to say he sacked abel.

    But abel left. Bruno was desperate to keep him.

    I don't think this is for every body to speculate what happened of course there are two sides to every story,

    We will all just have to wait for Abels comments and future plans on the matter.
