haha, watched it as you replied.you seem to be a few inches taller than me,so... damn,i cant find a stem that could improve my setup,seems like i´ll have to keep the one i have and get better(or die trying lol) atm i have custom handlebars in the making,theyre with horizontal backsweep and no upsweep in rolled forward position. on topic:do you think the steepened ht angle improved your geo from an echo?

thats what i meant,todays bikes literally swalloy everything you ride over,and back in the days it was all about skills edit:wtf is "swalloy"? lol *swallow*

whats the geo of that stem? seeing how high your setup is i´d like to see a vid from you on that bike again,to check your stance on this bike. maybe the steepy stems arent too bad...

you have to watch dh vids from that time

i moan about things pretty often every moon,so i didnt really see the difference.

if the leverage is higher you need less force to get the same pressure at the slave pistons. adam,did they kind of adapt the old julie low pressure system then? i mean ,normally a disc master unit wouldnt work with a rim slave due to the surface ratio of the pistons

as i do with you,man.always a couple of wise words,very good post!

this.but after that the "push the lever,open bleed screw while holding it" thing.will get out trapped air in the caliper

i´d need exactly that one on the right again,mine went to a new owner with my old bike have the big yellow one left if someone fancy a swap?

change the stem to a steeper one,or just be smoother. whats your setup stem/hanlebars wise?

kind of nice,kind of distracting...

around 135cm?

yeah,by itself

anyone else have this ghosting effect while watching in hd? if he entered the get comp,he wouldve been under the top 5 i guess.such a streety riding on thaaat bike! new genre,tgstreet?

damn,that was brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

first of all the echo has got hydraulic brakes and the because mechanic ones.then the geometry of the because seems to be a bit better for rolling moves,because(haha) its shorter.square taper cranks on the because are not as good as the isis ones on the echo imo. echos seem to be seen at a higher lever from people in the scene,and the price sais the same.a mate of me is going big on a because though. what are you planning to do stylewise,comp,tgs?

ha beat you to it

i think normally you should refer to the author himself/herself,so imo the original source,unless the source you named made changes to the original with authors permission,in that case the changed source you named.

the amount of nic your skin is able to suck up is way more unpredictable than vaping,just saying.lets say youre lying a lot(more of a joke to illustrate this ),your skin resistance lowers and that leads to sweating.nicotine is highly water soluble,so that´d increase the amount of nic that you consume.your skin pores are open,the stuff goes in. thats the reason medics are still sceptical about nic patches. oral substitution doesnt work for a similar reason,nic is double as toxic compared to inhaling when taken oral.means vaping 6-8mg ,but eating 3-4mg per kg of body weight would kill you.thats because when inhaled its resorbed after about 10 mins,when consumed cutan or oral its accumulating over time,because its always there i´m sounding like i am defending vaping again,not the case,even smoking isnt as toxic as those patches if you put the carbon monoxide and carcinogenes aside. edit-de-germanized this,spelling haha

i think it was said a few times,its here to find a good starting point. for example someone who rides street and builds a comp bike,having problems for what to go in terms of bar/stem setup,could see here with which values he/she could start to make no biiiig mistakes. its not to get a finetuning pointer to tweak it to the max,just to have a "what do people do" thing atm i´m changing to a bit more trialsy setup,and i have to set my bars at a neutral,street´ish angle,if the poll gets a good amount of votes you´ll see 2,maybe 3 of the bars at the top being the largest,and can read a tgs/comp/street average from that,depending on genre youll have to orientate at one of the bars. reach and stuff is pretty genre-dependant already,so its not that important for now

lets bump this,folks!always liked the idea of it(as unprecise as it is) this poll only had 24 votes,we are thousands of members,and i think if this gets more into an average value terrain it could actually be pretty helpful.

per text is the most cowardly way to do this,screw her i´d say.

in fact it looks ten times better this way

yeah all in all still. but i can say he bettered a lot compared to his banned ego

maybe he should start smoking,in this thread it was mentioned several times,its kind of socializing lol no worries cleric,as long as youre learning to behave like you did in the last weeks we´re joking(at least for me its the case) you came down from level 10 in being a mean guy to 7 atm,just abit and youre like the 40% of members here that rant at my posts ,theyre at 5 hahahaha
