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... EDIT - New link: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ritchey-comp-press-fit-semi-integrated-headset/rp-prod39377 EDIT 2: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/brand-x-semi-integrated-44iiss-sealed-headset/rp-prod208220?gs=1&sku=sku847712&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_medium=base&gclid=Cj0KCQjwguGYBhDRARIsAHgRm4_3zM24PqCSMscVS4KQlgKJtqqPJLPMwJGGRNGwj4iwvya9fAXdBb4aAn3SEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

@manuel has uploaded all sorts of historic goodness to his YT channel.... https://www.youtube.com/user/webtrialsgeek/videos

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)...

I'm sure Vincent can go bigger and is more capable now, but this is PRIME Vincent Hermance style! Watched this video so many times back in the day.

@jamesb, you have no right doing that line on the green rail at 3:34. So good!!!
-
Firstly, congratulations on the news, Rich! It's certainly life changing, but I hope you stick at it even through the impending change. Good little video. Still got it.

Probably shouldn't be surprised that Ali is better on a fat bike than I've ever been on any trials bike . I'm a little late to the party but that was class, @Ali C. Some really dirty stuff in there, not to be messed with. More videos like this please on all of your bikes!

Mark, Your technique looks ok, but i think you just need to commit a bit more as well as using your knee's a bit more throughout. Things to try: raise your front pedal a little more to allow you to put a bit more power down through the pedal to get to the tap. Crouch down more as you land on the edge then jump out pulling your knees up / pushing your arms up and out to give the bike some height. The more height you have the easier the rotation should come around. My personal technique is slightly different as I don't kick my pedal to get into the tap. I pull my front wheel up and round (technically i hop both wheels, but the back only comes off the ground a little bit) and my back wheel lands on the wall almost parallel with where it was on the wall (where the kick you tend to move forwards toward being where the bottom bracket was). Then continue with "crouch down more...." from the above sentences. Hope that makes some sense. Ben

Where did he get that seal from?

Cheers guys! Much appreciated

Back on the bike after a couple of injuries late last year and decided to pull together a fun / quick edit with Adam McGuire. Filmed over four saturday morning rides in January. Let me know your thoughts
-
@Al_Fel, your time is now!
-
No. This new username is not ok.
-
*it's nice and easy though, @Adam@TartyBikes. Just write up a 'blog' then send it to the PB moderators to review. Definitely they'd be interested.

Is going to Magura HC rotors better than avid g3
ben_travis replied to MaderaMark's topic in Trials Chat
Not ran the Avid rotors, so can't compare i'm afraid, however if you can get these - https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_rotors/magura_mdrc/c76p13782.html then i'd highly recommend them. I've been running these for quite a while and definitely noted they're stronger than the standard Storm HC rotors. -
So bad news will no doubt prevail over good news but I’ve genuinely had no problems in over 18 months of use. I’ve wouldn’t consider that I go easy on them either. I wouldn’t stress to much and just enjoy that buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Should've gone with a green screen colour. Imagine the vlogibilities.

Wow, @aener, so good. I particularly liked the driftwood kitchen line and the 'up to rear into drop to bridge' lines you did. Bueno.

I've had crown steerer unit creak issues with every fox fork i've had recently. This included 32's / 34's. Ran RS lyriks for a couple of years now with no issues.

Hey man, you had me questioning my own knowledge for a second, but no, the thin wall in that video was at a spot in glasgow! Phew
