  1. ...Well it also helps getting a better paint surface... What's with the dropouts?
  2. After painting he does so. I just don't know if it needed a special word for this step as it is not for the cr-mo (I believe you understood so) but only for the paint.
  3. UPDATE IN FIRST POST Weight is not really an issue considering the fact that I use quite light components. So the weight will be near 9 kilos. Which is pretty good. Stuff I wait for the bike: - Try-all light tires - Heatsink "Coustsinks" pads - Headset - Rockman rear and front black rim(although I am considering keeping the trialtech rims on my bike, if you can help me decide...) - Rockman light black cranks (although I am considering keeping the try-all on my bike, if can help me decide on that too...) Thanks!
  4. WOW! Can't wait to see that! How is it possible that you still become better and better?
  5. Trialtech 150 x 30 as on my current bike
  6. Forget it, you keep playing as the cleverest one.
  7. I really don't know what to say, Meatl backings make your brake work really well, but it's true that it needs to be setted perfectly to work. Otherwise they wear out unevenly
  8. Everything you said is unarguable. About the fact that I think every new frame are always the best I ever had, it was always true, but I suppose that's because I was just happy to have a new one each time. Looking back only the Bionic one wasn't good. Changing bike often helps me getting more motivated to ride as trials is the only thing I have left in life. My work doesn't passionate me except when I know I am off training in the evening. I am alone with my cat, I am sick and won't be able to ride or walk anymore in 10 years or less, so if I lose trials, I lose my mind. What you said about not being able physically to ride trials is really something I didn't consider, which is stupid considering my sickness. So please accept my apologies again Mark. About opinion, this made a lot of sense, and made me change my mind about what best could mean. Thanks.
  9. Sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it. You're right and as Ali C once said, trials is about being capable of riding your bike everywhere. So I guess you're right, this is street trials. Especially as there are hooks in it. But why do you keep saying I change my biek so often? I have opportunities of trying different thing, that's all. Also, I am also quite unstable, but this shouldn't even bother you... So why? Damn coalitions! Also why does this worry you so much? Are you jealous or something? The thing is I don't only ride my bike to have fun anymore as I had quite a lot of problems in life recently that made me lose confidence in myself. I need to push myself and win some comps to have fun on the bike now. But this is personnal, so why do you keep putting that out? What I meant is that I don't spend my life on a trials forum rather than on a trials bike. I don't think you can always be right because you have so many messages or because you have been on here for that long! Also working for Tartybikes doesn't make you a bike star, so it doesn't mean you can be that sarcastic. It's not because you are kind other a screen and that you are always right that you have the right to put people down just as a keyboard warrior. I know I probably over reacted in the first place so I understand your answer but stop acting like if you knew me. Peace. And in my point of view, Gilles is the best trials rider.
  10. Thanks man. I hope you'll get yours fast! What geo is yours? What style etc...
  11. That's BMX. Not street... EDIT: I was stupid... That is trials!
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBUGsa2Lfgs Feel free to ask
  13. So they don't hold a grind and dent easily? Yes! I forgot that option Try all shift are heavy as hell! I thought of Kenda Karma...
  14. They are not the same frames though. Just ask Lengyel if you don't believe me. He is a close friend, so I am sure he has been using LGM's last season, and now he gives Belaey's a try!
  15. Actually that's Belaey dude... Check this article: http://www.tribalzine.com/?Adrian-Lengyel-on-the-Slate-XL It's alright though
  16. He uses TNN Belaey pads. Eats the grind fast, has incredible bite but poor hold! Set your pads perfectly and you'll have an awesome noise too! The frame makes a difference in the brake sound too...
  17. Front tire could be lighter then. Front HS33 would be lighter. Anyway, it's just awesome looking as it is now, so don't change anything
  18. That could be way lighter, tires, rims, front brake... But it's one of the best looking bike I have ever seen
  19. What he said, and Rockman's frames snap and Koxx's frames cost a lot. Update in the first post!
  20. I don't understand why you say so... Can you explain?
