Great Project! But You urgently need to clamp the tubes from the outside, because in when using them for trials, Carbon tubes look like this otherwise:

So, is the ratchet still 2 pairs of claws? And is it possible to rebuild the Hub with the 12mm through-axle kit? Planned to do this a while ago, but really can't convince myself 2 claws are better than 4 at a time.. -.-

Order it directly: http://www.hoffmannbikes.de/ Lorenz is a nice guy!

i think it's about time..

Most of the german riders think Danny is a really nice guy, as he kinda laughs at the loads of media people swarming around him. One of the german riders documented that at the Bike Expo.

I have no idea how this guy looks, but could he be this? He is at least called Klaas. But he had a bad injury because of a ripped chain whilst gapping on limit. Both forearms broken. Is he really world famous? Shame on Germany..

one more to come.. same drop as mine, different angle as i'm behind the cam this time...

New pics incoming! Some shots of me going downwards. This time shot with a 5D MK2 and loads of additional flash power.. (3x 430 EX, 1x 580 EX) And one I shot myself.. one more is about to come of this shooting..

@dani: Germany, Northern Bavaria. There's loads of fields like that. Rode another one today. @prodigy: The pics were mostly shot with a canon 40D, some with a 5D MK2. Thanks for the props. I'm gonna post new pics soon!

Just a quick shot of todays riding:

You don't need to.. it's a coust! hint: be fast! thanks for the props!

Had a really challenging ride this weekend.. Shot about 30km from my home town.. the field is about 13ha (0.05 miles²) big and pretty tricky to ride.

Hey guys.. thought, I'd post some of my riding pics in the UK Forum too.. Most of them are hosted on flickr, so click on them to view em really BIG. wanna start with an eye poppin' (haha) image, I just found. one i shot myself.. the sign says something like "Do not step on here".. another one shot by me: me riding.. gap from the platform to the rails.. me in a nature gap.. another day another way.. another one I shot.. Riding and postprocessing by a friend.. (he's the guy with the huge cam.. another gap.. took off in the upper right corner and landed on the small plate besides the guy.. Will add more in this thread as soon as I'm out shooting.. have to go riding now..

Where can I get the first tune? I really like that one! Can't even find the artist on last.fm or amazon.. What's the album name? Great riding and huge stuff.. What will you get next?

will be out riding in lika an hour.. wheather seems pretty good.. copthorne? like tapping that flower-mud-box.. btw: don't harm those precious plants!

Yeah! I'll definitely be out on Saturday.. wheather should be ok.. Would be glad to see a bunch of riders, then!

Hey guys! Had to fix my bike today.. But tomorrow I'll be out riding from 11 am, Copthorne.. Would really apprechiate some guys joining.. CYAs! chriss (And Yeah.. I was the Adamant A2-Guy)

I had my first ride in Plymouth today.. Tried Copthorne and that way down to the Hoe.. Liked the Hoe best, though.. Who's interested in riding all week through? I'm staying for only two weeks and really want to ride! PM me and I'll send You my number! Monday would be great! Then almost every day! greets chriss

ok.. got a tool now.. i hope the BB will arrive tomorrow.. would be great if i could just ride in UK without any mechanical duties.. I'll be in Plymouth for two weeks and really am looking forward to riding (didn't do that the last 5 months properly, due to exams).. Ill PM you guys my number when i arrived in PL! Cyas!

Riding 18-14 with 175mm cranks, of course singlespeed, even tensionerless (just took some material of the dropouts).. good acceleration..

ARGH! killed my BB today.. I hope I'm gonna get the new one before friday.. I still might face the BB tool problem, cause i saw that I don't have a suitible one for 128mm BBs.. Does anyone of the Plymouth guys have such a tool? BTW I wanna get the SKF BFR 600 full stained steel reinforced mega BB, if anyone does need one too, I could bring that.. In UK the price is about 94Pounds, in D its about 80€ = 70Pounds (approx) So if anyone does need one, Mail me: chriss@ecols.de

ok.. it's getting serious right now! I'll arrive (for the second time) on friday, and I#ll have my snowwhite beauty with me.. I think I'm gonna PM You guys when I'm ready to go for a ride, or post my number here.. I don't know where to start, so for now it'd be great to fix a central point.. (drake circus, oso.) I really liked that marin pool thing.. oh, just saw that I've got two accounts? ooops.. that's the nic i prefer, though..
