I am tired of holy roller punctures. There was no compromise on tire pressure. If you don't want punctures you need a rock hard pressure. I like to still ride trialsy where possible. In fact i've had to cut an ol' 26 DH tube up and use it as a liner / second ply of my tire at the moment just to reduce the number of punctures i get at the moment. From riding the guys bikes in glasgow, the conti's do seem to be a great tire for how i want to ride. I certainly havent heard any real complaints from them. That said, if i could ride like the guys in the BSD vids then i'd run my tires rock hard and holy rollers would be fine. I <3 BSD

there was an up-to-front in there...

at the time I agreed. Holy Roller was the best tire for streety 24's, however the problem with them is that they are the best of a bad bunch. It was the only tire that really fitted your requirements. I am pretty sure people would have said this tire, had it been out but it wasn't, and nor was there any clarity on its impending release. anyway...i've bought a pair of the contis. just hope i can get danny to sign them. you want my holy rollers?

YUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS EDIT: i have two holy rollers i now need to sell to pay my mortgage...any takers? £15 each?

midget legs...

good video man...enjoyed that.

Contacts + being a nice guy + nae bad on his bike = stardom

The seals on my levers were both leaking after about 2 years of use. No replaceable parts available unfortunately

LOL good video guys. Nice to see Aran in a vid. Still got it

the up to front and over the rail at hull marina was sweet. liked that.

Andrew Dickey is one of very few TGS'ers who really put any effort/creativity into their riding. And with it comes a real respect. Why can't more TGS'ers put out videos like this? Hats off to you Andrew. What a video. Easily one of my favourite trials riders out there.

Did you just buy the frame matt? or is it a whole new bike? Looks awesome. Got a lot of time for the Lapierre aesthetics.

Luke - let us know how dunfermline is to ride, from my experience of driving through I actually think there might be some decent bits and pieces to ride. also - if you get a free weekend (unlikely with all this clan stuff) let me know. might well pop down for a ride sometime soon.

A good rider going big, although I think you need a wee bit of practice with your balance on the back wheel (just for an aesthetic point of view)

www.cleanzine.co.uk is a blank page on my browser.... EDIT: works now....needs more updates though...

Wow. That looks the dogs danglies. If i were nit picking i'd say shame about your 'pink' chris king mind you.

Ali - make sure you have either; your A-game at the ready to avoid the dog shit... an appropriate dog-shit removal tool at the ready and waiting...

The gloves in the back pocket (hanging out) was Spencer and not me. I don't think spencer ever tries to be 'cool', too much effort in that. Ali - its in a secret place that you can't ride because you'll rinse it and ruin it for the rest of us... ok....its in the link shown right (just below the arrow) https://www.google.co.uk/maps/preview?q=55%C2%B052%2728.6%22N+4%C2%B015%2756.4%22W&ie=UTF-8&ei=dcRPU7XlKIPsOrHbgbAJ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ

Another chilled video. This time from Glasgow. Enjoy Vimeo Video -> Original Video

You could try the Zee M640's Sam....if you don't mind the newer style lever...they are 4-pot as well

As Jeremy Clarkson would say....POWWWWWWWWWEEERRRRRRRR. oh and hold... and mainly because hopes have ripped my legs to shreds in the past with sharp edges.

Boris heard that koxx had gone under and he does love a niche market to make money from. Who better than to have the British #2 under his team (Jack Carthy was too Northern for Boris)

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BOSS! and finally some footage shot looking at what benito is actually doing. I normally hate slowmo stuff, but that video really does show how good his technique is. Who said benito had a horrid style?

What a beast. That last hop reinforces my belief that flexibility, balance and pre-load is just as, if not more, important than strength in trials* *obviously it helps that andrei is a unit

...ok its the full build with no major changes, but now you are here you might as well look.... I've added a set of Shimano brakes over the hopes, and since this picture I have made a few massive changes; Aligned the maxxis logo with the inner tube valve Put some pins back in my pedals Lowered my stem a little and tilted the bars further back Rotated my grips Crashed and Scratched the beast a fair bit Either way its easily the nicest set-up I've ridden, feels totally solid and I don't ever have any worries about it breaking. I'd highly recommend it to even more 'trialsy' riders if they are looking to get a streety bike. A massive thanks to the guys at Inspired for the support. I apologise for the pictures taking this long to get online. I didn't manage to get to the spot I wanted to take some pictures at so thought I'd get one up ASAP.
