  1. The hop to manual line on the thin wall in Glasgow was sweet. The simple things are the best.
  2. Those brake levers look to be in a real wrist 'braking' (sorry) position....
  3. Very good rider, loved the tekkers stuff on rails. Few lines I really enjoyed in there.

    There are no words which describe the level of my envy accurately.
  5. lock-ons thin enough for your standards? I am not sure they exist!
  6. Looks so good. Definitely take Ali's advice re: the seat.
  7. hahaha...I do have an uncle with Parkinsons, however I would probably put it down to the fact it was baltic. Not my finest filming or riding, thats for sure.

    Update!

    Could it be made so that the shop can become a functional riding spot similar to that living space picture you put in the original post?
  9. Finally, a pure trials video worth watching. I really enjoyed that. Easily one of the nicest trials riders to watch

    Update!

    What are the heights of all the different levels? Does the basement have the highest ceiling level? Glasgow has a large number of buildings where the ground level has high ceilings....so is it possible to switch that 'riding spot' to the ground floor, and put a shop / mechanics space downstairs instead?
  11. Having a discussion with mates about this now. Can they REALLY be 100% certain that the co-pilot was at fault this early in the investigation? I am no conspiracy theorist, but I do think its too soon to be blaming a single individual without all the data that should be available. I think the media are to be blamed for pressuring the company for an answer.
  12. Excellent. Cheers Ali. I will look into the magura brakes once my current set of SAINT-SLX-ZEE concoction goes down the pan.
  13. What is your opinion of the MT5's Ali (I saw you had some for sale in your topic)? much difference to the MT7? Downfalls of the MT5??
  14. Considering the status you just wrote, Adam, I'd guess that 1300 calories is more than suitable!!
  15. When i built it back up with the new rims, i decided I wasn't sure whether I wanted 22:15 (which i'd been running for a while) or 22:16. I am sat on 22:16 now, and really enjoying it, as its good for a bit of everything on the trially.

    Red Bull spent 4 consecutive championship winning years with a significant performance advantage over their competitors, now they are in the dust of another rival, they are spitting their dummies out? I can kind of see why, 34 seconds was a little ridiculous, but in my head, the other teams just need to get a grip on their engine / technical side a little better to start competing.
  17. I have no noticeable difference from the standard Saint levers, Leon. I have my levers pull quite far back into the bars (to try and reduce the arm pump) and quite a fair bit of travel compared to some. It feels pretty spot on to me. Certainly as powerful as the saints were. I've a saint caliper up front, and a zee caliper on the rear and no problems at all with either. The Zee caliper has the two bolt configuration (compared to the four of the M810 saint caliper), and hasn't had any problems at all so far, touch wood. With regards the stem / bar height, I measured for 'Dman' the other day and the centre of the bar sits at 105cm. I do sometimes consider another stacker, but it seems to be working at the moment. Its all about being comfortable on the bike at the end of the day, so depends whether your back can handle the lower set-up.
  18. Not spectacular photos by an stretch of the imagination, however, I stuck some new rims on the console and thought I'd get a few new snaps
  19. "Get out of the way, pheonix nights" - made me bungle laugh
  20. Brilliant wee video Aran. I enjoyed that from start to finish.
