i only rode my 24 tgs ee , i done no spins or anything so i got a stock and like it a lot better for what i do

I reckon you need to be going for Zoot Pro geometry to keep it functional on 2 wheels and the rear wheel.

Another vote on the zoot, the one i rode was best of both worlds :)

I'm on my second EVER pair of gloves. (Fox ones both times) I can definitely recommend them.

My revs started falling apart within the first month of having them and I'm not exactly a regular rider. Had a pair of Fox ones before that as well which did last a year but spent most of that year with holes at the end of the fingers. Old skool Mechanix gloves are where it's at!

Fox were the first gloves i bought, and they were too big so jim has them. And still no hole's, so fox are good! But he don't fall off as much as me :P

22-15 as god intended

22-16 is perfect, dont throw it away!

Switch to front freewheel and enjoy the sheer excitement of getting your jeans engulfed by your chain and freewheel when they get involved with each other at high speeds.

I'm on chrome and it's fine for me

keeps going on and off for me

meh, no matter less distance to scroll down page :p

I was expecting something like "fell from the top of the moonrocks to the bottom" or "slipped off the sea wall and fell 20ft to the beach"

yeah, i think i wouldn't be doing that on my way home from work for one, point two i would also be in hospital. So yeah unfortunately i'm not going to try harder...

:P

The problem is that if money is no object then they can buy a really nice set up. I'm not sure about you Dan, but i've been riding for over 12 years and I started on a 17" mountain bike, upgrading to a 14" jump bike and changing parts, with my first trials bike being a Leeson clear 660 4 years after I started riding trials.

...but trials isn't cool in the first place so I don't see how these guys think having a scratch free bike will improve things :D

God knows andrew.. And I did the same as you nick, in a shorter space of time.

Do what Cap says!

Already thought of this, where would i get em tapped though? i have one of those top caps in the shed and everything

Check that the top cap doesn't just fall in the steerer first then you know it can be done, you would need to find someone with an m18 x 1 tap :P

:/ Now i do feel silly, Cap told me to do the same. And i chucked away the bearing cage with bearings in it, that i had crushed. Would i not need an extra bearing or two to account for the missing cage?

Yes you will need a few more bearings but it will work like a beast like I said :P I ran one for a few years like that.

Just noticed, it's still going, it's in my xc bike now.

Braided hoses are much harder to damage.

This right? And can you still water bleed with braided hose?

Yep, I had a braided water bled brake.

I can't even a nice enough curb :(

find you mean? If you read the rules it doesn't have to be a curb. Just a single spot, and camera angle.. i think need to re read it all myself to be honest

woops, yea find I meant. A curb's the only spot I think I'm going to get that I can really session for hours though, this comp's pretty tactical

At least you can do em!

Yeah pulling them up is impressive to! So hard to pull up my bike, Got a long frame though :P

Thanks for that guy's I'm really chuffed that i can do them because they are one of my fav moves i see people do!

ah get this on vid? lol

I might have, it must say though it's not something you jump up and double check you had shot it! :P

For anyone who cares bought a fox flux should work a little better!

Do you know what the outline font is? And you legend!

could be "dope jam" but edited afterwards.

not quite sure

yeah its deffo edited!

yeah but a mac handles editing better than a pc, and i meant a pc version of prem :P

just because its a mac doesnt make it better at editing than a pc. urban legends.

Carbon looks cool, and is effective. Duct tape is ghetto and wouldnt be so effective!

Even still it might work.. Duct tape is amassing :P

surely carbon is more structually capable than duct tape, though? Surely the frame would just flex at the snapped point, whereas carbon prevents travel between the two 'halves'?

nice, are you running the frame with the dodgy holes? :)

Unfortunately yes! Never know it might do me some good. I'm being super careful not to bash! So smoother riding and hence no injury :P

a dodgy frame make you ride better :P

Nit like a jumper to go all over the frame :p

Already thought of that one cal! It's a tempting prospect for the winter.

go for it ill have one :)

Had overlooked that! Element forks it is then! Ideally want mountless :P

Should have pestered Duncy H, he's got a set of proper brakeless Inspired team forks on his Hex if he hasn't sold it yet

does he... I haven't paid for owt yet, as i'm waiting to borrow some cash!

Classic sidehop

If your rolling and don't put power into the drivetrain i'd say bunny hop... with power i'd say sidehop..

I'm stationary when i hop, and yeah im putting all my power into my front foot!

Cause your too used to holding the front low?

*shrugs* I don't really know, i don't think my manuals are low, and when i do drop off's i get the bike quite high. To brakeless hop i have to hop into it, then i can continue to hop. Only started doing them today on the flat, had never tried to do it brakeless before and was like wow!

Nothing weird about it. Youve grown used to not having to use brakes. Going back to them means you have to get used to applying and releasing the lever again at the correct times.

and the answer is... 15mins and processing time

Should do it! Youtube was faster for me though.

yeah, had to pause vimeo and go with utube.. Neeeeed bandwidth!

Like

Colour?

you'll see when its done :D

just frame

just forks:ghetto!

just forks:ghetto!

Stan does, I am more of a 4 bolt kinda guy ;)

let me guess the logic... More holes to aim for?

My set just arrived today, epic forks.

no

yup. :')
