  1. this,but the refills,not the glued-on ones in plastic backings. pretty good pads
  2. i think the wb got shorter with the newer models,but framewise,not forkwise
  3. only thing i could find was meditation music,because 432Hz seem to be relaxing. but why should one convert ALL his music into one frequency range? thats what i meant,would be cool if someone explained it to me edit:ah okay,the main pitch.does that really make such a huge difference?
  4. i think 6 where the rules.
  5. that had an awesome oldskool vibe in it,i like!
  6. the step in wall thickness acts as a stress riser,yes. if youre sure not to use it anytime just remove the mount with an angle grinder,sanding it smooth afterwards. then you should be fine
  7. looks pretty scratched for having only 2 rides.but other than that nice bike! love the marino forks,how do you get on with that little flex?
  8. do you have a straight sideview pic?
  9. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/180945-marinothe-cuy-2013-full-build-pics-added/ first and last page. edit:i think the late nineties nailtrails had a single shock while the older ones had the same manitou fork legs front and rear. nice bike,but not my frame size though,will sell it much likely
  10. my parents live in spain,and so i did for a year,20 years ago. you get used to it and then 12° is f*cking cold for you,thats when spanish people get their jackets out. also barcelona isnt the hottest place in spain. go to alicante,almost desert there
  11. was just about to post this haha
  12. yeah,we all want to see an arcade being sawed in half or hit with a rock... :wink2:
  13. i wouldnt recommend them for risers as they scratch the bends when you install them,but people normally do the exact opposite to what i´m suggesting so i´ll say do it.
  14. i made the experience that the ones you insert from left and right("4-piece") hold the bars better than the big 2-piece ones that go over the whole clamp weird,i know
  15. on grass wouldve been more insane ganja-trials
  16. if they class em the same they should´ve been testing damon watsons height,deffo a record chance
  17. go into your bios and perform a memory test,most bios have something like that.(you can get a ram test sofware,but bios ones are more precise due to win not running during test) can also be your harddrive though,everything flows through your swap file
  18. basically what this topic was aimed at,a stem setup that lets me keep my bars and their position,but making it all a tad trialsier. i use griptape since years now,that stuff is awesome,i wrap certain areas of my bars with that oldskool-griptape first,then a layer of corktape,pretty ergonomic
  19. have to find a compromise then,too low and i got too much weight on my wrists,have to be able to move with my bike,spothoppingwise
  20. no,no that was an awesome response,did mention a few things i already tried though.so first big thanks you took the time for that post! for the bars rolling thing,i tried bar angles from tgs´ish "along the stem" to where it is now,first angles killed my right wrists discus mediocarpalis,which is basically the shock absorber in human wrists(will never fully heal again),tried and tried and came out at "along the headtube". as for the brake levers,its the same,i already did that adjustment through trial´n error,so those two are pretty fixed values unfortunately.surprisingly i got no problems reaching the levers in almost "pointing straight down" position,sometimes it helps though because it kind of forces me to keep my wrists in a good position to the bars. and as you said,2 degrees of bar angle can change much(provoke or prevent pain in my case) i pretty much have to find a stem that feels a tad more trialsy with my bars aligned this way,i know thats not easy. last resort would be lowish bars or flat bars and a long,steep(ish) stem(oldskool),as i could adjust the sweep without changig the position at all,seems like a big advantage of flat bars. i never had any other than marino frames when it comes to trials,i only ever rode dirt/street bikes before i started trials riding. btw did you ride flat bars anytime?if so,how do they feel? thanks again for the detailed reply
  21. cmon people,there was a discussion about if cat sh*t can look like human sh*t,and it had 3 pages or so. noone got any advice or experiences for me?
