That's what I was trying to do at first, but there isn't much clearance on the mod cause the seat tube/tail is inclined to the back and blocks the space there... So I need to bend those hoses even closer as they come out of the slaves whereas I'd prefer a more simple and natural shape. Another idea is to run them outside of the seatstay like here: Do you think that would be problematic catching them with my shoes when pedaling?

I am trying to figure out the best way to install a splitter on my rear brake and I thought it would be helpful if people showed me pictures of their setups and especially how they run the hoses around the seatstays. I can think of a few ways to do that but I'm not really happy with any of them. Think it's just the frame design that's not suitable because of the tail it has... (because color) So can I ask for some advice or pictures to see what works best? Thanks!

I'm not sure if there is any difference between the yabaa model and the koxx but I can find out the geo of the yabaa if you want? Just messaged a friend and will get back to you when he tells me but he's quite happy with it

I am not an engineer but currently am reading structural decisions in architecture which has a lot in common with stresses and bending moments. From designer's and mechanical points of view, this blade design looks ridiculously stupid being unnecessarily complicated purely aesthetically and as a manufacturing process (there your money goes). And having the inward bend of the second wall (closer to the bars when mounted) makes it weaker on that point too. Somebody already said it's been tested a lot, so there should be no issues with that but to me the old echo cnc'd blades (2007 I think) are the best providing a decent leverage and comfy as f**k!

great video mate!

I wouldn't weld the disc mount as its quite close to the dropouts of the frame. Temperature might weaken the welds there and you will soon get cracks appearing around that spot. I might be wrong, of course, but I have welded many frames before and none of them lasted me long after that... Can't say much about the spec of your 24" but that control frame looks sweet!

Awesome vid! Not too sure if I like the music but everything else was great!

makes sense looking at your profile picture

Well that's not so 'beginner'.. Some good stuff in the vid! Ride your excessboy more I'd say

So then the mongos I had are definitely much higher than all above mentioned.. Cheers bud!

Thanks guys, I'll have a look!

My last headset was onza mongo III if that tells you anything..

Hi there, As my steerer tube on the forks is quite short I was wondering are there any lower profile cups for the headset or is it a standard size for all brands? Sealed preferably and normal threadless 1-1/8" Thanks!

I had a few tabs opened.. Different topic, sorry!

All done cheers mate!

What about those profile hubs? Don't know how they are regarding sprocket sizes and engagement points but many people use them for trials too so they should be fine, no?

Is that not going to affect the material as well?

Hi folks, I have a pair of yellow heatsink pads with plastick backings which have some serious cracks on them. There's still a decent amount of material left and am wondering if I can take the refills out and put them in some metal backings.. Is it possible and does anyone know a way to do so? Cheers, Nasco

In response to the invitation - absolutely! But I think he didn't mean it that way mate. I am also a foreigner and sometimes the way I would express myself in my own language is quite different from what you'd say in English which could be easily misinterpreted as insult..

offtopic: Are you people really not getting it or just like being philosophers about every little comma? I guess Damon Watson stands for a Huge Side Hop which is obvious and I doubt anyone would steal Damon's personality to get more likes on youtube... We are trials riders, not bloggers who kill for Likes and if there's anybody to say anything about it that should be Damon himself who apparently doesn't mind ontopic: Massive riding with less style but I quite like such type of aggressive moves. Reminds me of the old TGS vids apart from the music.. Shitty camera and a terrible edit but again - if I was riding like that, I probably wouldn't care much about cinematography

#1 Don't need to mention to avoid plastic elements if possible, especially bleeding bolts and clamps. You can always get people to buy spare parts for upgrades by making different designs/colours but not ruining their brakes. #2 CNC'd over forged aluminium would be nice but more time/money consuming to produce. You'll need to consider what quality for the amount of money you want to provide cause in my opinion racing lines are too expensive and I am not sure if they sell as well as other cheaper brakes despite being of higher quality. #3 2-bolt bar clamps are so much more comfortable than older single bolt ring clamps when you need to take your brake off for service. I used to hate it when my grips were stuck to the bars. Even a similar clamping system to the K2 stems maybe? #4 The most comfortable blade I've ever had was an old dengura echo blade. Currently I have a dengura zoo blade but it's much wider and flat.. Some longer modification of the old dengura echo blades would be the best! #5 Shrouded nuts instead of olives? #6 Some kind of hose protection on the cross-over hose as nowadays most people don't use brake boosters and it feels terrible if you step on your cross-over while gapping.. #7 Flippable levers should be easier to produce as you will need only one type of adjustment for your cutting machines and they also give the end user two options to use. I've always appreciated this! #8 Having in mind where the standard 05 magura levers usually crack, you should fillet any such potential corners, so a bit more rounded design. I will keep adding points whenever something comes to my mind

So improving your riding and becoming famous for that (like Danny Macaskill for example) should also be excluded from the list then.. I think that BJ. has a point there that people focus on some very broad terms like media and deng and we should narrow it down to more specific innovations. I quite like the integrated onza/inpulse tensioners cause they are innovative compared to the normal tensioners/snail cams. New pad compounds are another innovation as people mentioned above.

Would have made a lot more sense if they included some offroad scenes of the car (presumably that's what is meant by introducing trials in the add), so it would show its potential to deal with hard terrains as in trials compared to normal cycling. Or if there was any smart technology enabling the car to park/drive itself, then I can get the idea of it following the rider anywhere he goes in the video. But the way it is at the moment isn't quite clear to me.. Cool riding though and it does look professionally done! It just annoys me all the efforts they spent making it without any original idea..

Beast riding, especially those pedal kicks at 0:29 and 1:30, but I didn't quite like the edit.. makes it somewhat monotonous imo
