    Ali C Vlog

    Loved getting to see Ali on a new comp bike!!!
  2. A real trials shoe has to be identical to the shoes clowns wear in the circus. Ugly AF and expensive, good luck.
  3. Set up goes beyond that. On the bbdb I put the rotor right next to the side that doesn't move, so that when I pull it's not pushing it very far. Loosen the bolts that att arch to fork, wins the non moving pad in 2 clicks, then wind he moving pad all the way into its solid-tighten the caliper to fork, then wind each out out one click. Keep going on the moving side pad till you get little to no rubbing as you soon the wheel. How you cut the housing is the most important part, I use a dremmel cutting disc to make sure it's completely flat against the ferrule, and lever makes a huge difference. XT levers for example make a shit feeling brake, cheapO sd7 levers make it feel great... and the ultimate levers are next level.
  4. As for your avid love... go for the odyssey linear slic cable, amazing and $5 from amazon. I'm a HUGE fan of the original avid bbdb caliper, the new bb7 is all shit if you ask me... mushy shit like every new 4 finger lever/ advanced lightweight more leverage brake. Hard to find the bbdb now a days, used to be on eBay for $25- paired with 203 rotor, odyssey cable, avid lever = stiffer than all hydraulics but the old saint... and way more long lasting, zero maintenance. I've ridden every mt567, xt, slx, trialzone, other mechanical brakes... bbdb/linear slic/ avid lever trumps them all in terms of longevity and cost. With jitsie/trialtech pads they bite harrrrd...would not suggest those pads for xc riding. Hardest part is the set up, which 98% of people have no clue about and leads to a shite brake. I also ride a 30 year old steel rigid bike with u brakes faster on mtb trails than most with $8,000 full sus bikes so take what I say with a jaded old man grain of salt...
  5. Well I'm getting kicked out of my rented house in Los Angeles, owner want some to sell it... I've got 22 fully built bike, most vintage, and it's time to lighten the load !
  6. Very cool... the 1100 level boss still sits on the wall in my garage, had a lot of fun on that monster bike, learned my first 180s with speed on it...
  7. That last bunnyhop/curb kicker... woooooooo.... Jeff lenosky told me that if you take your foot off the pedal during a balance line, it don't count.
  8. Braunschweig or something, be styles for sure... he liked to party, I hear he was a vegetable dealer. Awesome soul to watch on a bike, could bunnyhop anything! Trials needs more pure unchained energies like that. non linear > domesticated
  9. Looks f**king great I would build that up as is the patina will get you instant beyond Danny Mac status.
  10. Wish I had thought of the axel spacer... I was running 3 spacers one side w my SLX cranks and none on the other and a riding friend warned me... so I took one off, put on the other side - ground down the chainring tabs so the cog just clears the chainstay on my hex.
  11. Looks like you need to work on your manuals, not quite getting them just yet... 22-16 gearing ? Ditto on the question of if there is any geometry change, love the color.
  12. Looking forward to seeing the videos... You guys have trials heaven there, keep shreddin.
  13. Just more riding, the only way to get better!
  14. Looking good nico. Better than your other videos!! #getthegrip
  15. It's a sad time, but all the new levers feel like mushy shite compared to an old hs33...which hit like a rock and doesn't move, granted the new levers are much more powerful and you don't have to squeeze as hard...
  16. I'm saving up for the hope one to be like Ali c.
  17. Very cool TT is making these!! Used to be the only option was a very expensive hope stem... I found a basic Chinese BBB brand 80x40 used at my local bike shop for $5, has worked a treat and got to say I love it on my hex.
  18. Whats up with that new blue fourplay, it looks lovely!
  19. Quite enjoyed that, finally real obstacles with not 90 degree everything... really loved it, reminded me of old style technical comps. Run ups through rough sandy stuff, awesome. Gilles was looking in top form, flew through parts.. and had huge moves... Jack got f**ked royally over and over, but his strength was unparalleled... looking forward to seeing him in the next. kenny... great fun. Hope this gets played on some stations in the USA to get someone else interested in it. Probably only a specialized European sports satellite channel.
  20. That bash to rear on a rail was the greatest thing I've seen posted here all year.
  21. Massive and smooth... love seeing those classic large concrete planters/ ampitheater looking area from all the old vids.
  22. I think you should research the term "Aesthetic violence" made popular by Buckminster Fuller. You ride your trials bike in a roadie full kit so you embody what it is to be offensive. Just the "GOREZ 33" 3D 1991 intro font is so aesthetically putrid it's like someone is hitting me in the face with a lead pipe every time I see it. Considering the underlying pure eurotrash heart of GOREZ33AIDZ videos, which you thrive on, I would ask what is wrong with YOU. I just ask that you post a warning so poor people who don't thrive in eurotrash don't get bashed by what this click is. Just like if someone posted a kiddie porn video, or two old men sucking each other off- I don't want to see any of it, and it's offensive. And yes, Felix mücke is the only Felix trials ever needs. Tchus
  23. Not the right Felix, PLEASE put a GOREZ AIDS warning on that next time.
