    No-one going to mention Kenny on a Hyper trials frame?

    He's posted a bunch of videos of him riding it on FB/IG, he mentions it to be more all-rounder.

    Wonder if it'll ever hit production or remain proto only like their Dual Slalom and DH bikes...

    From the campmajo bikes website:

    Possibility to add a custom stem extender to find the exact handlebar position (additional cost)
     Although I can't find any pictures, maybe this would help?

    Check Sergi Llongueras 's bike from that brand. He used that stem extender for a while. I don't know if the genuine stem manufacturer guaranty will get you covered when using it though. Might be worth checking.

    Hi Pete,

     
    Thanks for your email, it's great to hear from you! I must apologise for the quietness from my end. It must all seem mysterious and ominous firstly the out of date Heatsink website and now it's disappeared! I'm just logging on with Heatsink to get it up and rolling again. The pause has given me lots of fresh new ideas I can't wait to implement!
     
    I'm making progress bringing stock back of pads and tensioners.
     
    You'll notice that the Heatsinkbikes.com URL is now pointing to a placeholder as I develop a new website.
     
    Kind regards,
    Steve

    Hey do you have his email address? The one he filled on here doesn't work. Let me know please 

  14. Bikes you wish you owned but never did

    Did not most of the Boxx crack?

    Somehow I never really liked the Hydroxx.

    I really like the XTP though. I think the later models were much of a show (like the Karbon or the Levelboss with the strange seat tube) and did not make sens from a mechanical point of view.

    I think most did. Mine did for sure, I sold it for next to nothing to a french guy who wanted it above his fireplace!

    I love the Hydroxx 2 so much, but not a fan of the first one. There is a LT for sale on observedtrials.

    Edit: there was...

    I was the looks more than anything for me. Shame they never released a 20" version (did they?).

    The Hydroxx 2 or the Boxx?

    They never released a 20" Boxx but a 20" Hydroxx 2 was prototyped. I think it was released with a different finish to the 26" one though as it was painted with a dark grey.

    I enjoyed my Boxx. Picked it up for almost nothing as it had a hairline crack in the BB yoke. @Alex Dark very kindly welded it over for me (I think his invoice was a 4 pack of Rekorderlig cider, from memory, what a hero) and it lasted a while with me riding it before I went back to 24" stuff.

    The bike felt great, but the front end always seemed a touch long for me, hence my "bike you wish you owned but never did" being a Hydroxx. The option of dual disc goodness and broadly similar geo to the Boxx but around 20mm shorter up front, from memory. I wanted one before I had the Boxx, but when the latter popped up so cheap I couldn't turn it down!

    I forget what changes were made between the first and second version, but the hydroformed DT etc made it a great looking bike for the time.

    I agree about the Hydroxx 2. It was the nicest bike for me in that era. A friend of mine rode one but it felt really long for me. Would have owned one just for the look it had though. The LT one was even nicer!

  17. Places to ride in germany

    I found this map, with most German trials associations (push bike and motorbike).

    Again, get in touch with the associations.

    That's quite nice. We miss this kind of map to know the spots we can ride. We have ourouler.fr in France but that lists bike parks, pumptracks and trials spots but 99,9% of these trials spots are clubs grounds so you can't really ride there how you want.

    Just fyi - really old ones like Winter Air, Summer Air, Al's Scrap Book, and others can be found on YouTube 

    I have found a few but unfortunately not the ones I am looking for...

  19. Sqlab 30x trials handlebar and recommended stem (not a 100% match?).

    These are the SqLab components built on the Canyon "Stitched CFR Trials".

    You know, the bike with the spurious components: floating rotors (I am not sure they are still sold with them), DT swiss hub and plastic headset spacers.

     

    The SQlab saddles are really appreciated by most women and I guess they have other good components.

     

    Maybe they first planed a carbon bar and this was the according specs for the clamping area, but they eventually went for aluminum.

     

    You mean the trials bike with 24 engagement points on the freewheel?

    May I ask what these components are and where you found them? Seems weird they actually manufacture a combo that doesn't fill their requirements... Most trials stems have a wide clamping area. The WAW Ultimate stem has been specifically developed to make that area wider to compensate for the higher bars and torque but I don't know exactly how wide it is.

  24. Where are all Tartybikes videos?

    in Videos

    Posted

    I used to watch Tartybikes Vimeo account for videos and now all the videos they had made in the past are gone except for a few you can't even watch properly. For example Jack Carthy's video on the Cleep 2 doesn't play normally after a few seconds... Also no more Stan Shaw vids, group rides vids. I really miss them all, would maybe @AdamR28 still have them or someone else?

    Thanks
