Using an endo is really a beginners technique which is fine to learn backhops but isn`t going to get you anywhere once you start riding obstacles. A pedalstroke to get on to your backwheel is what you want in the long term. Just keep at it and it wil come. I`m from Alphen aan den Rijn so not really close to Eindhoven. Ryan Leech - Mastering the art of trials might be a nice watch for you.

As for the static hops / padalkicks. Do you initiate going to the rearwheel, to do hops, by a pedalstroke or in a different way? Keep on practising is all I can say. It`s all in the balance and that just takes time. Also checking out video`s of other riders might help you progress. Where in Holland are you located?

Just buy a set of adapters for the fork to fit a normal QR hub. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/fork_spares/inspired_arcade_fork_adaptors/c572p12292.html

So basically you are left with a mt4 up front now. I found the pad knock disappears after a couple of weeks on my mt7 as well as mt4.

Bottomline, every rotor will bent when you hit something... ice tech rotors are expensive and don`t offer any bennefits over other rotor`s for trials use imo.

The latest Arcade has been released a couple of months ago... and I don`t think there will be a new console.

I`m selling my mk2 console frameset... pm for more details ;-)

Good excuse to update your front-end a little. Shorter stem and high rise bars will make a huge difference

Haha 3 years isn't bad at all. All bars will brake sooner or later.

Not a fan of the new Arcade colour the be honest. Maybe a picture of one build will change my mind. I also was expecting some geometry changes. Shorter stays and lower bb maybe? The Skye and Fourplay keep evolving while the Arcade remains the same since the introduction.

More please! BCN meet sounds interesting

Two more from yesterday

Cool vid and riding Ross!

I've used them with Sram guide rsc`s, Shimano slx and Magura MT7... excellent rotors, worked great with all those brakes. Silent and pretty strong as well. Only bent one once after slamming it on a wall..

I`m looking for a set of cheap brakes to use for a month or so, and to have as a back-up set after that. I don`t expect the MT4 to be as good as the more common used disc brakes for streettrials(MT7, saint). But if the power and hold is decent enough i`m happy. Anyone who has tried the MT4?

Vlog 7 - keep em coming Ali!

How did you get it to break? Any chance you are using a weak adapter?

I guess shit can happen with all brakes. Magura warranty is great. As for the pad rock; yes it's terrible at first but after, lets say, 10 good rides it's totaly gone. My MT7's are totaly silence. Even with the 4 pad setup.

It makes sense haha. As the pressure point is getting closer and closer to the bar I adjust them further away to compensate this. I thought this is what you ment, I guess I misunderstood I'll give them a bleed, maybe this will get them back to the old setting. Thanks.

Love my mt7's! I've never tried m820, but I prefer them over the m810's I had before. @Mark W is there something that can be done about the wind off of the mt7 reach adjust? After a couple months use they are almost out of thread.

Arcade bars and maybe a slimmer seat. Great looking bike nonetheles!
