What do people think that headtube is 80mm? I think it looks good but I could get over those graphics quite soon. Bash guards are gay though I thought Echo would be over them by now. Fan of the cranks.
-
Stick it at the end, haha.
-
No one advertises mid video quite like Bone Deth, I find it pretty hideous when they do mid video shots (especially of just a saddle). 2:30 was a close call!
-
Impressive, the one handed stem manual was pretty good would like to see that mid line one day.
-
The bearings in the cassette body mainly, not much needed to change though other than the ratchet ring. Hope have recently changed their pawls but that is a super minimal change. The end caps are slightly different but that's again minimal.
-
Liked that, powerful style!
-
That moment of accomplishment you'll feel when you buy a hub that looks like a Hope yet it's way shitter......
-
One of the French riders on the Ozonys street team was running the new Profile hubs and they did look rather nice, He posted a picture about a month later with his bike running Hopes (in the same colour) so I imagine that the hubs aren't up to the job the same. I also have had issues with King hubs in the past and have seen other riders eat shit running them (including a jaw break and some pretty bad scaffolding around his head for over a month). Hope are designed around trials, they're a 10 year or more design that's been tweaked over the years to make sure they're as faultless as they can be, easy to service and just give you that reassurance you need. If I didn't run a Hope I would move to a Trialtech 16t freewheel.

That would be me dead, If my foot actually managed to stop me enough for a endo off that post, I'd land on my back Fair play!
-
Fair play for the gap to front, and the rest of the section but at 2:10 could he not have ridden through the gate along the log and turned around to go through it the right way? Surely that's as acceptable than a "tactical dab" from the wrong side of the gate anyway? His gaps to front's and the commitment on that front wheel when landing them is just unreal, pinned!
-
Looks like the wheel has just been built slightly offset to me, noticed that on one of the Inspired demo bikes at Radfest too ever so slightly that you couldn't tell while riding the bike but could when you looked at the front end.
-
I am riding 25/19 at the moment mainly because you can buy the Shadow sprocket guard and it is beautiful. I wanted a mid way sort of gearing good for street/speed and still able to keep trials'y style. 25/18 would fit most frames much better though as most are on 22/16 so the frames are designed around that.
-
I haven't heard of any problems related to the disc mounts on the Inspired frames at all, in fact the disc mounts are pleasantly well designed so 203 on one of those wouldn't be a worry for me at all. I think the older style frames are standard disc mount and the newer models are now +20 also so take different adapters depending on when you bought it.
-
I found that I couldn't really tell much difference between the Shimano rotors with the spider compared to the SLX version of the rotors although if you hit the rotor side ways on and misshaped it slightly it's easier to pull out than on the spider/ice tech version.
-
Those up to fronts are getting tasty, cool video man.
-
Bristol is fun to ride! Most of the spots are really easy to find also although one of the main spots near the river has now been fenced off . I liked the clips but to mirror what Joe said a longer edit would be really cool. Especially from a interesting rider like yourself.
-
Yeah it was one of the very few stems I have seen snap, along with the similar style Tryall ones with that top gusset.
-
Those stems scare me. Bike looks nice.
-
Never going to get bored of these, they don't come out enough for the hype to fade for me.
-
That was ace, time to go ride!
-
We parked just below the pub in the car park there and walk across and up to the rocks. It is a fair walk up to the better bit's to ride. Not as easy or as accessible as Shipley glen. Might if you're on your own riding it be better to ride somewhere like the Glen. Addingham moorside is a tricky one at the moment you're not really meant to ride there but wouldn't get any trouble for doing so if you park out of the way of the gates. Also the Flappit still has some riding but all three suck if it's windy. What bike do you have? I'm from the Skipton area but there's a few of us dotted all over West Yorkshire if you like riding urban/street.

I'm there with my Dulux colour chart to finally work out what shade of orange Leon really is.

Thank you for the constant updates, glad the news is positive for the situation. -
I'm running 370 and it's 368.5 for 25/19.
