  1. Yeh, kind of hard to do that after work! I will do tomorrow, just getting sick of them sending me products that are clearly different to the specifications on their website.
  2. So i ordered the 2012 version off Tarty, i.e this one http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/bash_rings/tryall_symetrik_2012/c1p11911.html What i get turn up is closer to the older version, i.e this one : http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/bash_rings/tryall_symetrik/c1p10262.html However, it's got a 3mm clamp section like the 2012 version. Even though the lip for the free wheel is about 1mm thick, which completely wouldn't work! And the weight is about 26grams, in-between the two different versions So anyone else had this issue?
  3. Fair play, in that case he speaks better English than 99% of the people on here
  4. Clearly was a joke.... who wants a hub that could explode.....
  5. Its a rolling clutch design, i believe RB did a similar hub. They're not meant to be very reliable/ stand up to trials abuse though.
  6. 18/12 = 1.5 ratio hope pro 2 trials = 48 ep 48 * 1.5 = 72..
  7. I saw you deleted your part about movement, but that's what i wanted to try and explain. With ffw, as soon as you pedalkick and the freewheel engages, your off. so the engagement you get is exactly what the freewheel provides. With a freehub, when you pedalkick, the movement goes through the front cog, down your chain, to your rear cog, then the hub engages. So the movement from your feet is changed from the gear ratio you're running. Does that help?
  8. running a 18/12 gear ratio though it'd be the same as having a 72 click ffw though (if u had the pro 2 trials hub. i mean)
  9. It doesnt work like that. 3 pawls engage at the same time to help spread the load.
  10. You mean like this? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/complete_freewheels/vz_one2zero/c16p11688.html
  11. I've got a friend who's got the Magura logo on his arm
  12. This would be really cool, and an easy thing to do aswell
  13. I've said burn's screw on cranks before. but this being TF, i got raped for saying it
  14. If the main feature of the engine is to rapidly drop the temperature of air over 1000C, then couldn't this technology be used elsewhere? Obviously they don't give any details on what environments it can work in, at what speed ect.
  15. £1000 is hardy cheap Think Ive spent like £500-£600 on each of my stock's, and they're not far off how i want them.
  16. I'm sure Isitafox did this and saves 50+ grams on single walling alone. I've seen rims with 4 drilled holes around the spokes, looked well done and i doubt it would affect the strength much
  17. Both. If you've learnt the technique, the less you rely on the front brake, and vice versa.
  18. The whole point is that air is lighter than water, so it travels up your brake system into your lever. So you don't need to use syringes to get air out of your brake. It's ideal if you're mid ride. How often have you brought syringes with you to a ride? compared to how easy it is to get a bottle of water during a ride
  19. When you stop commenting on EVERYTHING i say
  20. taking the piss of a blind kid... a new low.... even for you luke
  21. I found this out when disassembling my old t-bird. One crank was 160, the other 165. Considering your feet can sit anywhere on the pedals, i dont see how other people would notise??
