  1. New jig,Marino now builds frames in hours.That´s cool.

  2. how much is the complete weight of that one now? sorry if i overread it elsewhere,should be max.9kg?
  3. i add nobody,i meet people in the real world. thats the one we´re riding at,right? just to make sure i´m not confusing this...
  4. to be honest i haven´t got mental problems from the autumn/winter weather/less daylight,i feel physically weak. could be that the body turns down to some kind of "power saving mode" or something. my moods are fine,only thing that frustrates me is my muscle tension and bad blood flow(it seems),as i really only got problems with ligaments,tendons and muscles in the dark time of the year...
  5. its so bad i dont even have the same power when riding and tend to get injured easier. as ali said,uv radiation and vitamine d
  6. and different feel to different persons as it seems,my experiences are opposite to this. think it has to do with the whole setup as well,especially the rotor. i had rotors that sucked,with the same pads on another rotor(same size obviously),they were total win.
  7. those are metal ones,it just says for ultimate carbon imo whatever. sintered:bad cold bite,great temperature resistance,less fading organic :complete opposite to above dual:mix of the above the thing is that every manufacturer has its own compounds,like with rim brake pads,shimano organic pads suck,where koolstops rule...
  8. aye,deutsch is for the chosen ones! :wink2:
  9. i found organic pads from koostop to be the best,they have the best cold bite,but no high temperature reistance,but that isnt needed for us,we dont go downhill. your question would´ve been correctly spelled if you were asking "welche sind die besten?" though would be:" which are the best? " then,fyi
  10. organic pads have a plastic-like bonding material in which the friction particles are held,sintered pads are basically just metal flakes and graphite pressed under hydraulic pressure and heat.carbon pads explain theirselves(but i am sure theyre for rim brakes?),and i´ve never heard of synthetic pads to be honest edit:google says the synth. ones are made of glass fibre/aramid and also known as ceramic pads,which makes sense regarding the base materials
  11. amazing as usual,theres some pretty dangerous stuff in there!
  12. you want a 4-finger blade for that maggie. first time i´ve seen that rim in a close up pic,massive wall thickness.
  13. wow,going really big especially with gaps and pedal ups. nice watch,thanks!
  14. wow,cool to see a magellan frame in action again. my trainee got one for sale,ridden 5 times or so,shame.
  15. ho lee fuk, i thought you´ll kill that thing.well done,but watch the bent areas in the future
  16. woah,that stem looks like its about to crack or something to be honest...
  17. my marino has that too,an it works fine,but i also think the axle position should be/is secured by the axle bolts
  18. good choice!he should keep using his own pads though,not the wokpads.
  19. no,no you still kick your bike up under yourself but combining it with a more erected stance(insert penis joke here) and pulling the bars up. this way you dont stand too much forwards,and dont need much space to get on the rear. before i got the technique dialled i always needed a wheelbase to get to rear,the rear wheel ended up where the front one was.now its like me and the bike meet in the middle of my wheelbase,and i end up standing taller with bent arms. hope that makes sense haha
  20. if you true your wheel and it buckles again straight off the rim has to be damaged,so yes,get at least a new rim and spokes.
  21. sounds like you´ve got your body weight too far forwards when you pull the brake,try pulling the bike up to you while staying over the rear axle instead
  22. you gave up your account to come back renamed to gui? cool,welcome back! riding is good as usual,but the music was kind of "came with the editing software"
  23. the first vid i found boring and shocking at the same time... if you just watch it its boring,if you imagine how much sh*t they´ve blown in the atmosphere its shocking. the surface on which russia did theirs is huge!(i know,so is russia.but its spread over the half country) edit:why i got that font?hmmm strange
