My point at the start of the thread though was that if all you do is increase the size of the slave pistons, while still using a standard maggy lever, the pads would physically move a smaller distance for a given lever pull than when using normal maggy slaves. That would mean you'd get more powerful braking when the pads touch the rim but to get them to touch in the first place you'd have to run the pads really close to the rim itself and end up being screwed with a slight buckle. And yeah, as Adam(s?) says, air is just a fluid and so pneumatics must act in exactly the same way (in a closed system) as oil/water/whatever since they are both effectively incompressible under normal atmospheric conditions.

Oh Mitch, Mitch, Mitch-a-roo...

It's called heel clearance . It's an X-Hydra circa 2001 or so. I had one for a good few years, my first mod, and loved it. Kind of old school now but still fun to ride . That's mine in my 'Personal Photo' in my profile. I cut the seat tube off of mine to make it look more like an X-Lite .

Maybe Ben/Fred are pissed because they just made a £20 loss on those troos... hence the 'buy it now' on them now! Although, to be perfectly honest, shame on you for buying them in the first place!

Post on OTN. Along with some random abuse and swearing they might be able to help...

You're lucky.

Except for the fact that if it were to happen to you, you could probably make thousands from newspapers/visitors wanting to see it... Cha ching!

Nah, afraid not fella.

Hmm... maybe I should sell my motorbike.

From what I remember, Tim's setup was a) really quirky for a trials bike and b ) seriously sketchy!! Edit: and stop calling it a glz!!

Reckon you'd end up with one pretty crap riding bike rather than two good ones... It'd never work well I don't think.

lol at the Light Sabre rims .

If you get any colour or CK shell (silver would make sense) I'm sure you'd be able to get it anodized purple for about £15-£20... You could even do a batch of a load of your parts to make them all matching... You could even get a matching handbag I imagine! What are you on about El Muelio? 950 is referring to the price of the frame, not the wheelbase... Am I missing the sarcasm?!

If I was any good with photoshop I'd do an 'attack of the clones' poster with pics of Danny instead of the robot things... Also would like to begin the motion to permaban RossyC if this actually turns out not to be a joke.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. For f**ks sake. This is exactly what's wrong with trials today. God damn kids and their s ids... I really really hope this is a 'joke' gone wrong... 'cos if not you may well be my least favourite person in the world today... and with George Bush and Jade Goody out there that's saying something.

Few people meeting at Moors Valley near Ferndown on Thursday evening, around 5.30-6.00 ish. Rob Brodie, Rudi, Dan Jones and myself so far I think...

Or not?...

Fair enough. Glad to see you've got taste (on the way... )

What possessed you to get that seat?

I think maybe you should've painted it in some sort of camo... 'cos god damn is that one ugly frame!! Just looking at it makes me want to come find where you live and cut the back end off it! Best keep it away from me when we go riding...

He's in the Elite category.

I still don't know how the BIU get away with only publishing the bike make if it's Monty... you'd think the other manufacturer's would be getting a bit annoyed after 18 years?! Well done to all those who competed . I thought the rules stated 'full length trousers must be worn' or similar. Doesn't matter if they're only a thin layer of lycra so long as they're full length. Stupid as it sounds...

Yeah, they use a one piece threaded topcap which bolts straight into the top of the forks. Nice and neat .

So... Trialtech forks eh?...

Le moto rider is a bit good isn't he?! Really impressive stuff! Wish my towbar would arrive so I can take my mototrials to play somewhere...
