  1. What's wrong with silver spokes?????????????????????????????? I like them!
  2. Will do, thanks a lot! I didn't know that it was a thing that the pawls wouldn't engage from time to time, I thought it just died from not using it somehow.
  3. Just tried that thanks! It actually started to come back to life again; thanks a lot! Any ideas why this happens and anything I can do to prevent it in the future?
  4. So after about 15 days of not riding my bike I finally got to use it again and I got quite a surprise, the freewheel wasn't engaging at all! After a few spins of the cranks backwards I could hear the noise of one of the pawls engaging and clicking but it's definitely NOT how it used to be, the sound it makes now it's just a faint sound of what it used to be; I'm afraid of riding like this because I don't know if some of the pawls aren't engaging. Freewheel is an echo SL 108 clicks, about 2 months old. Any ideas what could it be? I'm willing to buy a new freewheel it's just that I don't know if it's ride-able like this. Thanks in advance!
  5. You have a pretty solid form, if you mean switch to rear then my suggestion is to do the switch when you "bounce" and start to move a little bit back on your own, then you let go of the brakes and switch to rear wheel. So you jump and absorb the landing with your torso moved further and your arms as well, but your momentum is still pushing you forwards, so wait until the momentum is done and you kind of start falling backwards; then! switch to rear. If that wasn't what you meant then totally disregard my message and keep doing what you are doing.
  6. Dont' get a zhi team, a friend of mine broke it at the joint from the headtube and the top tube, then broke it again at the joint from the downtube to the headtube... just don't get em!
  7. 20-60 minutes of just rolling around will do the trick.
  8. Longer stem is better for rear wheel stuff, shorter for 2 wheel stuff. If you have an echo24 like me, then the bike is really tall so you are looking for a way to balance that, the answer would be a longer stem, think of it like a mod. That's why the koxx sky comes with a longer stem than the echo 26 for example, because the koxx is higher. Although it really comes down to personal preference and how you feel more comfortable on the bike with the stem. Hope it helps.
  9. This will sound weird but I look exactly like you on that bike, same parts as well.

    That was some amazing riding right there.
  11. Even though it was a bit.... different, I kinda wanna see more videos about him.
  12. Well, this goes straight to my favorites.
  13. The distance... I just kinda wing it, my highest pedal-up is like 1 meter so I'm not good at all, but a tip I could give you is that you have to imitate the movement you'd do as if you were doing a pedal-kick right when you are doing the last bit of the pedal-stroke for the pedal-up. Then just tuck the bike in front of you and hope for the best!
  14. Wear your helmet boys!
  15. That's crazy high, good job man!
  16. This will sound very very weird, but could you explain to me (as detailed as you can possibly get, even your thoughts) on your pedal-kicks ? Here's what I noticed so you get an idea: you seem to move your body and not pedal at all, and at the eeeeeeend of the movement you do a small kick. I seem to be having problems gapping "far-ish" because I "roll" my wheels more than what I should (I kick since the very beginning apparently and my wheel dives down like the freaking titanic) and you seem you could be doing that even with your brakes locked.

    Some clips 2013

    Is it too much to ask for you to make a good lengthy video?
  18. That was a pedal-to-shin kind of bail right?
