  1. My new Ozonys Curve 2020. They are made by Crewkerz now. Might change for a 150x35 stem if I don't manage to get on with this setup. The bike is 5 mm shorter than my Jealousy so I need to get used to it.
  2. Well that was amazing. Very very creative and funny!
  3. This is my favourite trials video: i would watch it anytime and not only before riding
  4. That is something I had never taken into account. Seems the new Hope brake lever is best then...
  5. I own both of these brakes and have actually two of each. I just wanted to know if there was any general consensus abouth which brake of the two was actually the best. I know about the differences about each but thanks for making them stand out more. Especially about the lever play developping on the TZ. That is indeed something to remember.
  6. Thanks a lot. I will have to try that method since it seems to work great.
  7. I need some kind of bleed kit for this. I only have a tiny hose and a syringe so...
  8. Hi, I am wanting to use an old Trial Zone disc brake on my mod. I have a feeling it will give better braking performance than the EVO 3 I have used until now, but maybe I am wrong. So is the Trial Zone better than the EVO3 lever? What do people think? Also I have to bleed it and I have seen a ton of topics about it but no topic stated clearly what method works best for bleeding these. I usually just bleed it from the caliper to lever using a syringe full of DOT 5.1 and connecting it to the bleed port on the caliper. Then I open the lever oil tank and watch for all the air bubbles to go out. Once it's full I just close the tank and call it a day. Is that the best way? Or is there another method that works better? Cheers
  9. The price is definitely a selling point on these bikes. Especially with the great equipment they come with. It's more technically that I feel kind of unsure about these bikes. No easy freewheel swap when it dies, snail cams with a disc brake meaning the disc will never get to the exact same point when getting the rear wheel out, no other forks to use if it breaks is something I can't live with. That is really a shame as I really dig the look of their most recent Race bike. But I really like the look of the Curve frames too. But I would have to change the cranks and BB to a BB24 crankset from Bonz or the Hashtagg one. That's a lot of money and that is the problem. Jitsie is so cheap but there are things I can't change...
  10. You are lucky to be able to witness that kind of sorcery.
  11. Your advice really counts for me after following you for so many years so thanks for your input. I have had quite a few other reviews from other people owning one and everyone seems to be really happy about them. They just do the job perfectly it seems. But after so many years with Crewkerz I can't resign riding another bike yet. Also you cant get other forks than the Jitsie one to work with their bikes. This plus the ISIS BB, the snail cams tensioners and the standard wheel axles is something I don't want to go back to. Money is tight now so I will just keep on riding my Jealousy until I can afford the new Curve which is made by Crewkerz now.
  12. Hi everyone. I would like to change my bike after 3 years riding it. What do people think of the most recent Jitsie bikes? Any flaws? It's either this or the new Curve. I am just not sold on any of them. So any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
  13. Basically exactly what I wanted to ask... Are you in my head?
  14. That is amazing bike control
  15. Everything looked way too easy! I agree with Guillermo, you made me think of Kieran!

    That tree breaking was totally unexpected! Great riding !
  18. I have a brand new frame in L size if you want to change.
  19. I am usually not fond of this kind of bikes, but this is nice and far from a Frankenstein bike!
  20. Definitely not a beginner anymore! One thing you could work on now as it will help your progression is getting the front of your feet on the pedal and not the middle section of it only. It will take time to get used to it but definitely eases things later on. Keep up the good work! I wish I could manual like you!
  21. That is an amazing place to ride. Great riding from both of you! What shoes is Adam riding?
  22. That guy is most probably the person who influenced my riding the most of all riders. I have watched his videos over and over again with a lot of passion. Now I don't ride 26 anymore but he still influences my riding style and what I ride as riding ground. Have a nice time with your future projects and thank you.
