  1. They're heat treated 4130 cro-mo, Steerer....I wouldn't know but I'm guessing it's 1 piece, I know the paint will be a write off, that's not important. I'm no welder so I don't know what's realistic, any advice welcome, cheers.
  2. Can anyone make adjustments to a steel fork? I have a fork that's too long for my liking & I'd like the dropouts & disc mount both slid up the legs about 10mm - 12mm. Obviously you'll know that these things all need to line up pretty much perfectly, ideally you'd have a caliper & a wheel to make sure it's all good, or a jig. Anyone know anyone? Not looking to spend a lot as they're not worth a fortune, but I don't want a messy job done either.
  3. Well, thank god they had the Red Bull rider wearing the Red Bull helmet in the Red Bull video on the Red Bull website. Lucky escape!!
  4. I noticed that too, think of all the advertising they missed out on.
  5. Ok cool. Yeah they'd just be pumped up indoors, spun, and if it doesn't rub then all is well.
  6. I'm actually considering getting some, thing is..Tarty Bikes says they're 3mm taller than my Holy Rollers, which is roughly the clearance I have to my seat stay brace (very tight) It could go either way. If they don't fit can they be returned? Unused but fitted obviously. I should probably ask this to Tarty direct but someone else might wanna know too.
  7. It was all just huge, I'm glad the foot jam whips were kept to a minimum too. Watched it a few times now, that last move just bent my mind, who else would even think about doing that?
  8. Yeah I think with so much to look at in each shot you don't realise how huge everything he's doing is. He's flat out too, he doesn't f**k about!
  9. Best rider ever, no contest. That Matadero drop was huge, and that last move...seriously.
  10. I wish I'd gone now, but I left buying a ticket a bit too late. Caught a few of them there leaving today, weekend looked good!
  11. People do it in Spain so that's no excuse lol.
  12. Are the tights REALLY necessary in public?
  13. We just had thunder & rain 14 miles from Radical bikes, 2 days in advance, so I'd say you're all pretty f**ked!
  14. Good stuff, like it! Now get down Barrow!

    It rides worse than anything you can imagine, 445mm chainstays, I'm not even joking.
  16. Try different stacker/stem height too, a Fourplay doesn't need a massive front end unless you're 6ft 4". Tactics are big, so you'll need less height from the stem/spacers.
  17. I'm not a fan of high bars on long stems, looks crap & doesn't feel right. Those are my thoughts.
  18. Unlike most people, I found my standard Saint sintered pads pretty crap, I've got 3 M810 Saint brakes, all felt pretty average with standard pads, and much better with aftermarket ones.
  19. With front wheel skills like that, f**k the trials moves!
  20. That slackline crash made MY balls hurt.
  21. New video from Leo Nobile, pretty serious! http://dailymotion.com/video/x1s2iou_pandacompany-presents-brainwash-with-leo-nobile-trial-bike_sport
  22. John Shrewsbury had an slx lever (I think) on a Saint caliper on the London ride & it worked perfectly, they're not known for seal problems either.
