Also subscribed. You wouldn’t have a road trip Video that starts with Tim Stedman in a golf GtI with system of a down playing, loved that video. Also has the song du hast at one point by ramstien. Been looking for it for ages.....

Really nice to watch - seemed like the perfect amount of content rather than making it to long to keep it interesting.

He makes everything look so easy it nearly makes it hard to appreciate just how difficult and big everything is!

I am running Shimano xt 4 pot and have done since the summer and have been fit and forget. Really easy to bleed and shorten cables etc. On a 24” I am using 160 rear and 180 front and although I may when I need to replace the rear disc go to 180 it wouldn’t be from lack of power at 160. As above a lot of it is personal preference. I found that hopes felt to flexy at the lever and the Shimano felt really positive once pulled in and didn’t get that flex past bite point which I much prefer. Can’t say around Magura as haven’t used a set however can’t be bad as lots use...

Really nice edit. Makes me want to build up a do it all bike!! Looks super fun - not that I’d be able to ride it anywhere near that well!!

Fun to watch and well filmed. Enjoyed the music - reminded me of a bone death edit with the way it was filmed and the general style just with less weirdness and slams!!

Always really enjoy watching your videos, was definitely ahead of the curve on the Bmx influence, and you execute with a really nice style. The bit I enjoy most is that a majority of your Bmx based stuff compliments the trials rather than replaces it which having started off in trials and dabbled in Bmx I enjoy watching. Keep it up!

Nowt wrong with those riding abilities!! Looked really controlled and smooth and techy.. great to watch as always. What tyres are you running these days... I am finding the Rubens are not easy to get hold of, was looking at either aitkens 2.45 or the eclat morrow tyre.. tried either or got a different suggestion?

I recognise that frame ;-). When I rode it the few times, I started at full height eventually found with clean risers that for me on 90 x 35 I was only using a single 5mm spacer and that was perfect. I’m 5 6” - I know the guy before me ran it full height like you have but was 6 foot. Keep dropping them until it doesn’t feel like a chopper!!! I would have eventually had to accepted that I would lose the steerer thread and run a gusset kit or headlock if you wanted to route as I think cutting it as far as I would have needed I wouldn't have had enough thread left. Only other option is a short low rise stem but I think that looks odd!!

I work in London for large international corporate so feels like I have been in it for 2 weeks already. Been working from home for 2 weeks with a fair few colleagues having likely got it and with some that now have family very ill in Italy and Spain, I think like most I am more worried about people I know are vulnerable rather than myself. My brother has got it at the moment and was feeling pretty rough for about 3 days but coming out of the other side now (caught it on a stag doe in Spain at the weekend, so his own fault!). My wife is a teacher and has had 2 incidences at school yesterday of kids showing symptoms but parents still sending them in. Both my parents sit in the high risk category so we are having no contact with them whilst Annabel is still teaching. I got a bit caught up in it more than I should with my 1 year old son starting to show symptoms which you would associate however after a triage with a GP this morning over the phone they have reassured me it is likely just a cold. As a relatively new parent I am finding my anxious side going into over drive even reading all the evidence which makes it clear that younguns are at far less risk than anyone else. My wife is quite surprised as normally she is the nervous one and she has been completely calm about it all!!

Looks really nice, if only inspired had taken your advice on their last colour ;-)

Enjoyed the crank flip a lotttt

Title says month not Monty - might help :-)

That was fun to watch

The 3 blokes in a white van where very articulate and polite when I slid off a gap the other day whilst they waited at a set of lights and proceeded to scream “you f***ing tw*t” repeatedly for the next 2 minutes until the lights changed. This is not what I care about and I think sometimes the point is being missed above. I don’t enjoy an audience whether I’m very skilled at something or completely unskilled. I’d just rather be on my own doing it Or with friends than with spectators. I’ve been doing it long enough not to let it stop me or care but doesn’t mean I can’t prefer to do it in a quiet place.. :-)

Looks awesome, forgot about those carbon boosters completely!! Always wanted one but managed to end up going the steel route with pashleys and revells instead of the aluminium route.

Looks great - bar the HA being a little slack for today’s flavour it could be in a catalogue as a current 26” street alternative to a hex!

Looks pretty cool! I’d be hella scared to scratch And ruin it after dropping £300 on it!

You are doing an epic job of putting this together. Love the attention to sticking with some period stuff. My first what I consider proper trials bike was a blue pashley. I have a black frame hung in the office but can’t bring myself to build and damage it!!

Might depend what temperature they have been exposed too. I’ve had pads last years. But if they are outside somewhere they’ll get down to freezing might cause them to degrade quicker. Matt

Keep it up.. winter has its pro’s when it comes to going un noticed in the dark. The only problem is a few of my favourite spots don’t have lighting which makes the winter rides a bit repetitive in the local town...

If you are mechanically minded it isn’t too hard. With a bleed, the pads replaced and a cleaned rim it should be plenty good enough for learning. The front brake I am not sure who onza rebranded for those but if the pads have any markings on them that might help. I’d replace the cable with a linear Bmx cable of some sort and probably the pads again and clean the disc. If not look for a second hand hydro front brake like a Shimano deore and they would be a good brake for starting off

Hey Roy - a decent set of pads will make a decent difference and a clean rim with a bleed for the rear - looks like you have a HS33 on the rear - what is on the front? There are some pretty good front disc brakes for not a lot of money these days. All that said you will find your fingers will maybe ache as they get used to the amount and how hard you pull the brake. However a better brake will make it less painful!

Green salt and vinegar walkers crisps - I still get confused and think that they only changed last week and that green is cheese and onion.... On a more trialsy note - 24's - I joined the 24" revolution with the first fourplay and although I know that was when I was less than 20 it still only feels a few years ago to me (I am now 31). I think this is partly because it was shortly after getting that bike I broke my arms on a BMX and went through a period of 7/8 years of sporadically going through times of riding and times of not. It has made that period of my life albeit 8 years long feel more like 2 in riding years... I would tie into the above TGS and the associated bikes as it was still going strong when I absconded the scene for a while..

I reckon they will suit that nicely. They are going to feel different to the last so give them a chance to bed in before you fiddle too much :-)
