Light weight, and with a little modification, even lighter. Definitely helps with moves where the bike spins (FJWs, whips, spins etc)
Tread pattern isn't too restricting for street riding
Works tubeless
Sidewalls are very thin, and really require to use higher pressures (i.e. 45psi +) unless you like changing inner tubes (or in my experience, buying a new tyre, because you tore the sidewall)
Narrow profile isn't as reassuring as 2.4" in my experience

That was a really good read @AdamR28!
For the record, I was / will always be grateful for the support you gave me through TartyBikes and I'd hazard a guess that most of the riders you've supported will have been.
I would also add that you've done more for trials than most could ever imagine so thanks for everything!!

Never truly appreciate how rapid these cars are until I saw this at Monza. Doesn't look real especially the overtake
That video is quite something. The speed changes are insane.
It does re-affirm that I couldn't give two hoots about going to see an F1 race in real life though. Sat in the same seat for a couple of hours, possibly (highly likely) missing most of the action doesn't seem that fun.

God I watched that so many times when it was released.
TKs were such a motivating group of riders

I can't even focus on the bar with the state of your rear brake hose.
Can you even Octuple footjam whip, bro?

Gorilla tape is definitely your best bet IMO. It'll reduce the space between the hook and the shelf and hopefully push the tire bead up into the hook creating a better seal.
Just make sure you use a rim tape or something over the holes (but im hopeful you knew that already)...

Anyone got a 3d printer and a decent set of calipers?

Rampage weekend hopefully
I know I 'don't' have to watch this, but, alongside the majority of big hits being shown on instagram before the event, it really grinds my gears that so much of the riders lines is shown before the 'big-show', that I don't really feel the need to watch the 'big-show' and it removes the allure of it.
Is this just me?

Kind of suggests to me that RB may have found a loophole/loopholes of sorts that mean they can get people in their other, "non-F1" companies to do things for them that they believe shouldn't be classified as part of the cost cap for their official F1 team?
LOL. That would be typical RB / Bullish Horner mentality , wouldn't it. They really don't come across as an affable team in general haha.
-
It'll be interesting to see what they do w.r.t the sanctions following any (albeit rumoured) cost cap breaches....
If there is a serious breach, then I'd imagine any punishments will affect next season rather than this one, but a two year time-delay on any consequence surely won't have the desired effect.
p.s. i am ridiculously terrible when it comes to using affect vs. effect so if they above are incorrect, then please correct them in your own head when reading...

I was trying the 180 tap, 180 to front over on a foot wide bench the other day thinking "this feels good / wonder if anyone has done this?", but taking it to a rail is ridiculous. Amazing skills @jamesb.

I disagree.
It's common for the cups on internal headsets to also have a chamfer, I'm 99% sure that frame just takes a standard 1 1/8th internal headset
I stand corrected. I think you're probably right, Ali.
I've updated the link above
-
Seems like it might be a semi integrated 1-1/8 headset. if its got 45 deg chamfer both top and bottom then this may work for you...

As someone who finally made the jump from a Pro 2, this all makes me sad.
It is one vs. what appears to be many* but I've never had any of the aforementioned issues with any pro4. The worst i had was a bearing, which i replaced and was good as new...
*That said..the many in here vs. those that have pro4's who haven't bothered commenting could also sway it significantly the other way...

Went to France with Mark to visit John Langlois back in March. Unfortunately John broke his hand two weeks before, so was out of action. Thankfully he still asked us to come along and showed us around his local spots. Had a good time and managed to film some clips that I thought were worth putting into an edit.
Nothing majorly spectacular I'm afraid but I am chuffed with how some of the lines turned out.
Let me know your thoughts once it goes live at 1800 (I'm going to be out hence the early post)...
