Why would the spacers go over the bends of the bar? Ignore that. Didn't realise they didn't split completely (can't see the pic on my phone)

How not to remove screwon sprocket with a HAMMER
ben_travis replied to TriаlsRider's topic in Trials Chat
i have always thought that if screw on is going to remain as a standard for trials* the manufacturers of cogs should really add some pockets to the cogs that will fit a BB tool removal tool pattern (or a freewheel removal tool). Is it really that difficult? biggest picture ever time... *which i think is silly and don't see why we can't adopt a middle burn type standard with splined interface in some way, shape or form -

Or buy a skye...then put them on whichever 24" bike you like and sell the skye with DMR moto's... -
Watched this several times now...(and about to watch again), but my new favourite line is the g-turn to rear wheel on rail to the nose roll forward off the kerb. If there were four of me on my bed, it'd have looked like this in my room...

EDITED my post as I am sure a 1yr old could have written their post in better english than I did... I don't know if you are just out to cause an argument, but there are reasons the bike / frame will cost what it does, and with the knowledge you have I am sure you know the justifications for it being 'expensive'. Testing and quality control doesnt come about cheap. From looking at pictures of the bikes it is easy to tell that the components, as well as the tubing / details on the frames don't look like bog standard pieces. This costs money. companies stay alive by making money. -
He might be in a wheel chair, but he is sat up, and has the positive attitude to be working on his video. http://www.iphoneogram.com/p/592189636078305480_19761887/

here is a summary of the ride...

So....to summarise; its a fairly long, short stock, with a steep but slightly slack headangle, which is likely to need a long mod stem to counteract its high bb, but without the reach we have no idea what the bike is going to feel like, but we know that it is likely to ride like a mod with big wheels. Then....if you buy one, and are anywhere near chimpy, watch out, cos he is putting his penis in and around your bike... hope that helps man. enjoy it. remember though. helium tubes will make you ride a beast
-
Yuo should have probably put that down in your first post dude. that way we'd have been able to point out your mistake from the start....you bled your hope mono trial with water?
-
Looks sweet matt. Impressed with the job you've done on that
-
I'll be honest here...im not a smooth rider. I crash alot, and even managed to land a sidehop onto one of these rotors and it held true. good rotors and seem strong enough. i'd imagine the MT2's will be fine on these rotors so long as you have decent pads
-
highly recommended rotors dave... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-xt-saint-rt86-ice-tech-6-bolt-disc-rotor/rp-prod67197

If you know anything about bikes you should know who Dave Mirra is... The Albion did an interview with Dave, and its quite an interesting read. http://thealbion.cc/mirra/

I think used the word terrible because Jack started his topic with 'someone sponsor this guy'. I don't know why, but it bugged me at the time. I might have been on the blob because I had to start uni for the semester that evening. While terrible might have been a little harsh, there really was no effort, thought or creativity put into the filming or the editing of the video at all. It was just Josh centrally placed in all the shots doing some sh*t hot riding. He goes big, rides smooth, and has a weirdly likeable style but the statement 'someone sponsor this guy' would have been significantly more credible if he was putting out top quality video quality as well. Just some of my thoughts and no offence meant to anyone. Big hugs.
