    When i was living in Bristol it was awesome going around and spotting random RJ lines. Then realising just how ridiculous some of them where and how I wouldn't have touched them with a barge pole. 

    Always a pleasure to watch any of his videos.

  8. Best Disk Brake Pads

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Assuming this is for trials and you're looking for a trialsy non-modulating brake then you can't go wrong with trialtech pads. So damn powerful. Get a set of MT5 pads (they'll fit the MT7 caliper and have less pad rock) 

    If it's for trials and you want a decent modulating pad then i found that some of the superstar organic pads are actually pretty good for trialsy stuff but also modulated much better.

    I might be on my own here but i also never really had a problem with the magura standard pads. THey were always enough for me

    I wonder if Trump regrets scrapping that health care system during his early presidential years.

    I think you know as well as the rest of us that Trump is likely to regret nothing he does / says / thinks.

  16. Aphantasia/Hyperphantasia

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by ben_travis

    To make life easier for peeps, I just found that Exeter uni have a dediated site for it - http://sites.exeter.ac.uk/eyesmind/

    I don't really know where I land on this yet, but I think i'm closer to aphantasia than hyperphantasia. 

    When it comes to riding I always wondered if those who can visualise see themselves in first person doing whatever they're doing. I feel i can see in 3rd person, i.e. how a camera shot might look, but when it comes to seeing myself doing something, I'm like Mark as in i've learnt by watching others and essentially I have to put in 10,000hrs before i get comfortable with things (Mark can also vouch for this having filmed for me...)

    If you drove yourself to those shows/weren't paid for fuel you can claim that sweet sweet mileage.  45p a mile, #justsaying

    In the random accountant chat I had back in the day, he got really interested in the idea that I rode my bike around filming and actually found the rate I could have charged for mileage spent riding filming for videos.  I chose not to because it's a faff working it out, but if I'd done that for all the videos with @ben_travis I wouldn't have to pay another penny of tax for the rest of my life :P 

    They'd have probably owed you money if your phone battery was able to last long enough to log our whole Strava ride...haha

    Managed to get out with Adam at McGuire Visuals to pull together a little video over the festive period while he was home from Uni. We wanted to create a little night video cruising the streets with something a little more artistic than being 'bangerz4theladz'.

    Anyway, give it a watch and let us know what you think below

    Big thanks to Inspired and Tartybikes for their continued support as ever :).

  22. Hope pro4 skipping

    Remove freehub body, clean and fully de-grease. Keep an eye out for any loose metal shards (as it could be an indication of damage). 

    Fully dry off the freehub body, ratchet, pawls springs etc, then put a little bit of oil (like this one) inside of the hub then rebuild. Give the freehub body lots of spins to spread the oil about.

    Hopefully that'll solve your problem.

     

    If you found metal shards or similar, then maybe worth giving a more detailed inspection and then speaking to Hope.
