I heard the new Magura can't hold water bleeds.
Is this true?
-
My rear brake locks well when the wheel is spinning forward, but when the wheel is spinnning backwards; it does not lock
I am using Echo TR clamps which means the pads are square to the rim
It's been this way for some time now, so If I'm landing a pedal gap, the rear brake would slip backwards
Why is this? and How do I fix this?
I do grind my rim with a cutting disk quite often.

Does spending time on less trials oriented bike help with overall riding?
I realize these days, people start from full on pogo sticks, whereas older trials riders started from bikes not completely specialized to trials.
What kind of advantages are there by practicing on the older trials bikes rather than going straight to the pogo sticks?
I've been riding for more than two years now,and I just see myself only doing rear wheel moves on the 09 Zoo Piranha
But I also want to be good at actually riding on both wheels ie) skinnies, riding natural, sidehop from two wheels.
So I am thinking of building a Planet X Zebdi to spend some time on older geo bike.
Is this a good idea?

To this:
It's been four months since the trailer's release.
I look forward to seeing the actual video.
-
I kinda advise you do actually,
I opened up the King hub after 2 years of use
There was so much hair (?) inside
so random, but very disguisting.
-
When was the last time you cleaned the internal?
It should be done at least every 4 months
All the gunk, oil, water can cause it to go quiet.

There was this one trials video where two guys were riding skate parks on a echo mod with white tires
What was interesting was that it had all the physics calculation of bike trials moves
ex) drops, side hops, gaps, front wheel hops, etc...
I hope some of you know which video I'm talking about :/

Rain King is narrower and lower so better clearance
-
I suck cocks for a living.
-
I've got a flux.. Love the looks
one problem: My hair used to get caught at the adjustable strap area near the back of my head.
Solution: put tape over the joints
All in all, fitting is good, after putting the tape on, hair doesnt get caught anymore and everything is good
-
Rain king fitted as well ;-)
Did you have to cut down any center knobs at all? and how is the clearance with the booster?
-
Maxxis 2.5 high roller fits too
theyre better than minion'sReally? do you mind taking a picture of the upper booster part and how the clearance is?
It does not make sense that it can clear a 2.5 Highroller and not a 2.4 Ardent.
-
No, it will not work
It will ruin your Hope
As well, that bb7 roundagon rotor is shit.
-
Sounds good!
Has anyone tried running a Kaiser or Rain King?
-
I'm building up a Zoo Piranha long and its so frustrating because 2.4 Ardent clears with like 1mm of clearance. So everytime the tire picks up some pebblesor some dirt, the rear wheel can get stuck quite easily
Considering that it has tons of sideways clearance, Deng could've easily moved the integrated booster arch up, and it would've cleared easily!
I don't want to cut the centre knobs, so I want to try a 2.5 minion for the last time, hopefully the 2.5 minion is lower vertically than the Ardent.
Deng should at least try fitting a tire before designing a frame.
-
I am sure they are lighter than that, from memory they are around 550-600g but it would be worth checking with Tarty Bikes before you buy
Tarty does indeed say 1,000 grams..
-
Anyone tried these tires in the rear?
http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_tyres/tryall_slick_26_inch/c33p10513.html
at 1,000 grams it won't make a good front tire, but still a bit too light to be a good rear tire either.. so what is this thing designed for anyway?
I'm considering getting one, but I do need some reviews on this thing.
-
So you need some kind of liquid between the bar and grips.
Has anyone tried using aircompressor, or zip tie method on foams?
-
I have installed Trialtech foam before using hairspray, it didnt move, but I could not push the grips all the way in.
They've worn out and I gotta install them again, but this time I want to make sure they go in full
I have Trialtech foam with black trialtech sport bar.
I was looking at this method
but I couldnt be sure since its the rubber grips, and maybe foams could be loose?
Is it possible not to use anything to hold the grips?
-
The carbon wrap is shit mate.

-
You guys must be pretty sweet engineering specialists if you can work out how weak it is just from the wheelbase and BB rise...
Don't forget that the current Piranha frame is only 1650g or something. Hardly a tank.
You don't have to be an engineer to figure out the recent trend towards1500grams frames
compared to past deng frames of around 2 kilos.
-
I miss vertical dropouts!
(And its probably lighter/weaker too
Ive always found strong Deng bikes to be a good alternative from Koxx/Rockman for bashing, but now Deng tries to build a Rockman.

Big thanks mate!
This is the one thing that I haven't done
