the line at 3:03 was awesome!really really really my favorite vid so far

could you take closer pics of different weld areas? glad you have it fixed,now get out and make a vid,chap!

are people still replying to this topic?hell.

woah,thats pretty awesome! i need weeks to collect enough clips for a vid and you throw out 2 in 3 days lol

for me its actually some improvement in riding,but nowhere near the creativity i thought i´d put into it. intro is pretty funny,but thats it.

what i find pretty funny here is that even now clerics topics have 40+replies in a day...

that cover slipped and you just ignored it and just moved on,haha. looked pretty scary for a 10th/sec

if you got a trials frame or fork with a firmtech mount,grats,youre unique just joking,you cant put a firmtech slave in 4-bolt mounts edit:beat me to it!

you GEThurt really bad.had shinnies several times but this ones hefty. that doesnt mean you wont make a vid,right?

he´ll make a new account. ...and we will recognize him.

dont buy a marino,man. if it cracks youll shout it out over the internet... nothing lasts forever

how much omen frames cracked,how much zoots? how much parts can stand trials for longer than maybe a year? how much should we pay you for quitting posting topics like that? the case you brought up was ridden without a booster btw.

best bet would be something allround,and then,well,just ride. riding is the best way to find your riding style

bah, indian food! red thai curry with piri piri chilies,that stuff is spicy two times,if you know what i mean

new day,new update(99% of the posts in this thread are from me,shame) so far i got 1 hard set installed,4 sets of hard pads in stock,and the rest you can see here in the making. 2 of those are exotic compounds with too much colour,just to try its influence to the compound,the rest is a smooth rim compound. in my experience the colour is softening it up again,which makes things even more unpredictable... i´ll send 2 sets to dave33 to determine their hardness and to have a second opinion about their performance,he´s going waaaay bigger than me,so its a good test for sure.

time for a sert!

after wrecking 2 pairs of foam grips and disliking rubber grips i´m using tape and gloves now,never looked back. theres cork tape from varios manufacturers that has a good feel without gloves,too.

didnt you ask this few days ago? its the same as with your other combination, if it isnt dividable by 6 its assymetric and nor strong. edit:the hub has to have more holes than the rim,if you really insisting of doing so i thought abou this after you had the first topic,if your rim has offset holes its even more a problem,there would be an area where 2 opposite spokes pull to the same side...

i didnt die testing my selfmade brakepads today! plus they perform ok,with a harschish grind they´ll win imo. kind of a happy day!

you really replaced your brake for just the hose being wrecked? and for a 2011? and you had a 2004/5?

i kind of expected a crash,but even after 2 hours session i just came hone from theres no issues. after half an hour they were aligned to the rim and got better in bite,but they deffo want a grind. to be honest i AM making softer compound pads as we speak,so there should be some for smooth rims. only thing is that the smooth rim pads need to have a cold polymerization(to get rid of the elasticity,which is there first),which means they need a week to be rideable. the hard ones can be tempered in the oven,as i mentioned earlier,so they take 4-8 hours,then after cooling them down they can be installed directly. the fresh pads in general are like silicon for sealing bath tubs and stuff,pretty wobbly. after the curing process theyre less elastic,but can be torn apart easier. you dont wanna know how many pads i broke apart to determine the right moment to stop curing hahaha,think its 5 pairs

good news,i survived! pads are trustworthy,but: my grinds pretty dead,so they didnt perform as good as i thought. they seem to be a fair bit harder than echo snowies,which had the same feel of low bite,great hold when i rode them. so,that are officially the harsh grind pads now,will try a softer set now and these again when i ground my rim freshly. they took a good while to develop a relatively "un-loud" honk,maybe beacause theyre that hard it took that long for them to align to the rims sidewall angle... but hey,it works!and there are many copounds left to try. pretty proud of myself,i made a safety-relevant part of my bicycle by myself without decreasing the safety aspect haha test vid will be uploaded in a few mins edit:still processing now,but should be up soon. i know,tailwhips arent rear brake related,but whats a vid without a tailwhilp?

damn,thought i could show myself as the geo geek,bummer! pretty oldschool that!

magura hose is low pressure vinyl tube,hope hose is high pressure disc tube with fibre reinforcement carcass the inner diameter of the hope hose should be fairly small,you couldnt move the amount of oil a low pressure brake moves. youd press the lever and the brake would drag like a syringe for example,you release it,same game

funny thing is that the best headphones i ever had were for 15.-€ at conrad electronics in munich,and i had sennheiser,bose and stuff.they looked awesome,they gone 15-20000 Hz (no joke,15 Hz) and if i didnt need them i could roll them to a ball. they had the name pro.2 standing on them,never found them again... edit:kind of have to thank you for asking that question,googled and found them,forgot i didnt have internet the days i last searched... you sir and internet both rule! http://www.pro2inc.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=PH-B333S_e&Category=25
