  1. The arrow on the V-brake pads points in the other direction but that will work anyway.
  2. ANd once again, Jaf surprises with this amazing bike!
  3. I like these frames a lot because difference is always good!
  4. Did I say anything like that? What I said is that this is not a CLS vid so Ben's question was a bit irrelevant. CLS was a great rider so of course I would have been shocked if I had seen him do that, but DrStix's video is a video to show his progression as an average trials rider, so it's deffinetly not the same circumstances. Also CLS was sponsored so didn't really paid any parts. So despite showing a bad image of how he treated his bike, he would still motivate people to go out and try to ride their bike as he would do. So really Sam, I don't think there was any excuse for being so cynical. I have just got the eye of someone who has struggled to buy my first bike, and it discuss me to see someone get angry after an inanimate object.
  5. It is very nice! A surprise is to come soon though.
  6. Normally I would have said some of you don't wear a helmet, but I spent such a good time watching this that I will only say I would.
  7. At the level he rides, it's still ok (no sidehops, no moves to front...). He just does cardio a lot I guess.
  8. Yes, my previous bike was 7,68 kilos (Breath frame and forks). But, that frame is around the 2 kilos mark so 550 heavier than the previous Breath frame. But the Try-All forks are 100 grams lighter than the Breath ones, and now they are even more as I had to cut the steerer to fit it on this bike. So yes around 8,2. I was on a hurry to go on holidays so I could only weigh the parts alone. When I'll get back I'll weigh the full build and let you know. About the way it feels: It feels so nice to ride but felt really disturbing at the start. I can't really explain, but it feels like a stiff spring. What I mean is when you ride the bike, it feels really stiff, especially at the front area and at the pedalling thanks to the double seattube design that has been perfectly made by Josh. But as soon as you start making the bike jump it gives you this rebound like if you rode very low pressure tires. At first I thought I had a slow puncture but it's the bike that feels like that. I need to get used to that but it certainly helps! EDIT: And god it's so nice!
  9. Yes it is a JAF. Pics can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=597427886963878&set=a.597427250297275.1073741843.431111570262178&type=1&theater
  10. Hello, here is my new ride. I went with nearly the same geo as the Breath frame except I made the chainstay length shorter. It comes out as 1010; 71,5°, +85; 350. Weight is a bit over 8,2.
  11. What is that behind the scene fame?

    Bar Height

    WHat about the angle of your stem? It makes everything way different. Along with head angle.
  13. Loot at Trialtech forks. It's actually longer lasting welded that way than the way you say.

    WTF

    There were only disc brakes. But crewkerz has them
  15. The new Inpulse bike is +60. When Gilles and Vincent rode the first Sky, they didn't lose their style. They lost it when they started riding +70 in my opinion. So no worries, Aurélien won't lose his style (I hope).
  16. Yep, both runned by Mr Zhi.
  17. Good idea! I wouldn't do it though
  18. I felt not offended. It's just that some people can't afford buying a bike.
  19. Not at all! I find all of this very entertaining. Loads of very good ideas. Notes are taken!
