Have just received the Phat Pads with blue anodised backings and so far I'm really impressed. Have only had a quick play in the garden but the finish on the backings and pads are top notch- and the blue backings really are pimp! The brake is far quieter than I expected (which is a good thing in my book) but the bite and hold seem perfect. There seems to be good modulation for doing manuals etc but when you pull the brake properly it just locks solid. Looking forward to giving it a proper good tryout in the near future. I'm currently running an Onza Ronnie rim with a pretty worn grind and look forward to trying the pads on a smooth Trialtech rim when Dave gets his new Sport hubs in stock next week and I can get the new wheel built up.

Too clever for me.

Which bit do you mean? Are you talking about the bit at the big monument thing where the clip is reversed then played forwards- the move's actually a 360 drop in type thing...

Brokeback Mountain anyone?

If a tree falls in the woods... yada yada. You know what I mean- If there were no humans and you were an alien, or a photon or a quark or whatever you care to be passing by, from the observers point of view the planet would be in a far better state than it is with our impact.

Sooooo much easier on a mod. The gearing alone will make the bikes feel completely different and combined with trials specific geometry it'll be like chalk and cheese.

That's so blatantly an afterthought it's unreal. Jebediah: "Balls, what about all them stars, he musta made them too, innit?" Geremiah: "Don't worry, dude, I editted it last night. We're all sweet, mush." If only they'd known then about the dinosaurs...

I'm sure it's not 150... We are talking stock here aren't we tdubz? Also, no Megamo's came with rear freehubs either so there's something that doesn't add up here.

No, that's his section from 'Extended Family'. The footage that's on the MBUK DVD is from Reset Films 'Home' DVD can be seen on the Reset website.

Damn straight.

You clearly haven't found God then. The Bible clearly states that God only made the Earth and put man on it. Jeez, get with the program, maaaaan.

Worthless is the wrong word. Completely insignificant is more like it. The Matrix was right though- human beings are effectively a plague on what would otherwise be a beautiful planet.

I feel like I've just had an Epileptic fit. Big moves though. I want to see this held!

Trialtech are the future. I have seen it.

Had a really good day. Sorry for abandoning everyone but Andy and I were on a bit of a filming mission and would've just been in everyone's ways the whole time if we'd stuck with the group. Hope you can get a new crank arm sorted Ollie!

No worries, I know exactly what you mean. It comes down to personal preference. I thought it was funny that you suggested the Bionic when that's exactly what Cliff (who owned the Dob in the first post) has gone onto- which is the bike I linked to. I agree that disc is nice on street due to it making everything seem so much smoother due to the silence that goes with it.

But for how long? What's your beef?

Well... Edit: Nah, still not worth it.

I'm good enough at making a fool of myself without doing it on national TV...

I don't think trials is 'dynamic' enough to appeal to the general public in that situation. Demo's are one thing but having an actual 'act' for a 90 second slot on a TV show/variety show doesn't lend itself to trials in my opinion. You could of course work on the female audience by doing it half nekid of course...

Just seen it... sorry but that was a really pretty poor show. To go to all the effort of setting all that stuff up and then be a little bit rubbish seems kinda daft.

Kinda like this maybe?
