I'll be there, that's the most important thing, and the field is also looking good.

Mine's 75, it's really not a huge difference. Arcade has slight differences too, bb height, forks are 5mm shorter, and have 5mm less offset.

I want a fat headtube.

You've got a stiff link.

Never noticed that, but I think he is actually too short (bike's too long) to get right over the back wheel.

Never ridden there , been there on foot once though and it looks brilliant!

Thanks a lot! I'm not sure how controlled they're gonna be but I'll try and have a go tomorrow!

They did manage to turn a lot of footage into virtually nothing. That is a skill.

Middleburns are brilliant, I snapped one arm after exactly one year of constant abuse and big drops (Race face Turbines lasted me 6 weeks from new) I saw one of the threaded sets for sale, but I read on here that there wasn't quite enough thread or something so they weren't really an option for trials.

Thanks! I'll do a better one soon )

Cheers! Definitely gonna start filming very soon. Those are the only 2 I've done outside the foam pit, but coming from the huge foam pit ramp this one was hard work, I think I need to prop it up a little bit. Either way they were both f**king scary!

Yeah. The song really doesn't help.

Trials specific bottom brackets are just never gonna be as strong as DH ones, there's too much weight compromise. I found the Giga Pipe bearings a bit iffy, but the axle was a monster.

Just a few clips that never made it to a proper video, last summer, old bike(s). Not sure what Youtube did to the quality, so 1080 it!

Giga Pipe or a Raceface Signature DH Isis, I've had the same one for what seems like about 8 years now. The Trialtech one is great, but the thickness of it worried me a bit, the RaceFace axle is much thicker (smaller bolts) little things like that are always in the back of my mind, for the sake of about 50 grams I wouldn't risk it if you break stuff regularly.

Girlfriend must be happy... Seriously though, give it a chance, that's not a short frame by todays standards, and your stem's pretty long, tilt the bars back to where you know they're too far back (I saw the Arcade bars), then just work your way forwards a tiny amount each time, if I rolled my bars forward 5 degrees I'd hate my bike, it's THAT important.

Back on the blue.

For the short time I've had it I really like this build.

No they're just a big bmx tyre, I had them on a bmx about 12 years ago and I think they're made for dirt. But yeah we're not exactly not spoilt for choice so we made do with it, now we don't have to! I try not to touch rails with Holy Rollers, but the contis feel great on rail to rail gaps etc, with Rollers if they're too soft it's a guaranteed puncture, too hard and you have zero grip yet the piss thin sidewalls still manage to fold.

Punctures aren't an issue, not had one yet and I smash them up a lot. I had a lot of punctures on Holy Rollers, got to the point where I wouldn't even bother with drop gaps to sharp stuff because I knew they'd let me down. Grip is much better too. It's just a much better tyre, sidewalls are much thicker & more stable. It's a genuine get what you pay for situation.

You won't realize how crap Holy Rollers are until you get some. The weight difference is the same as having a few coins in your pocket.

I have about 5 90 x 35 stems, none of them are the same size.

Na leave the logos, they'll look good spinning.

Minus the seat, that looks brilliant. 50 shades of blue shouldn't work, but this does.
