  1. and here i am again :)and will say nothing okay,one thing:get a fork,mine´s awesome! couldnt resist
  2. get an atomlab or dmr if you dont wanna go for trials ones,theyre pretty beefy and have 4 sb bearings
  3. typical facebook user , they muuuuust tell the world if taking a sh...
  4. you could change the axle spacers position to center the hub between the dropouts(edit:to center the rim dishless obviously...),but as the hub body on screw-on hubs is pretty small in flange spacing it´d never be the same strength
  5. my son learned riding without coaster brake,but its common for childrens bikes to have them. my coworkers daughter learned with,and none of the 2 can get used to each others bike. i had a dj/street bike without a front brake before riding trials and it took me ages to get used to a front brake,at first i just didnt use it because i learned pivoting on the front wheel without one. now that i have a front brake and got used to that i cant pivot on the front wheel as i could before... its really just what youre adjusted to,i prefer brakes though edit:topic revival deluxe lol
  6. its terrible! they should give it to the americans
  7. we use a cup tool at work,its the same for howitzer and ht2,and it works fine.no worries
  8. i had an mrt,have the pics on dvd if you want some lol it showed clearly(could see it for myself without being told where its located )that my "discus triangularis" is teared apart,that thing is kind of a buffer for pressure loads. i ride with 661 "wrist wraps",they support without taking the training effect away,really good
  9. a clamping device makes life so much easier when it comes to barbed fittings... go to your lbs,theyll have some laying around from mounting new shimano disc brakes,every brake has them included.
  10. force gets levered to torque,gets converted to chain pull,gets converted to torque,finally force again,so it might be possible everyones a bit on the right here. you cant change one thing without the other in a force transmission. if you cut leverage you lose force and rotational revolutions,its really just physics. same ratio,less leverage-more force needed for the same effect. in terms of feeling a shorter crankset would be more "tough" to pedal,meaning you have to put more force in but gaining a bit of pedal travel until you have lost the power or the pedal gets a bad position to use the power or even to land... hope that explains it edit:spelling
  11. yep,hollowtech and howitzer have the same spline pattern,even a gxp would work
  12. the polyamid used for magura hoses can get brittle from uv radiation,but that effect shows up only after 10+years with bikes that are standing outdoors all the time,so i wouldnt worry. do you have that "hose clamping thingy" to clamp it in a vice or are you trying to freestyle hammer it in?
  13. ^this except for the look,but thats preference as usual

    yeah i also thought it was done by keying and stuff,wow!
  15. if you want a new one,try a procraft 160x35,i know someone who´s using that thing since ages with no problems. its 1:1 a copy (or equal to)the trialtech,only 10mm in lenght difference
  16. in terms of style and going big he´d´ve been getting famous even back in the days.... ...but youtube viewers decided if its time or not,our sport is so niche-genred lol

    ot:seen on tensile.net that the tocco levers are available for around 60 gbp,depending on location
  18. so,if i follow your words,in a mirror my fork legs would be facing backwards?
  19. i´d like to come up with the powerball tip,mainly because strenghtening up is good anyways i got massive problems with my wrists since last year,some fibrocartilage is irreversibly damaged,and i tend to feel the pain a bit up the forearms,in the area you´ve mentioned.sometimes pain in one area is an indicator for problems in another,so overall strenghtening of your arms would be my tip. yeah okay,go to a doctor to be certain,thats right. but doctors arent always the solution,mine said i´d have to quit riding by now(august 2012),and with powerball training,different handlebars angle and nutrition(chondroitine etc)i´ve been getting to a point where its possible to ignore an "irreversible damage" wasnt going to tell the whole story first,just to mention the "doctors solution" bit,sorry
  20. http://videos.mtb-news.de//videos/view/30972 sorry i cba to load it up to yt,short clips go to mtb-news.de (german trials forum sits there) cheers
  21. yeah,but has it got any advantage?i´d be curious about what for this was built,like a guy killed loads of rotors sidehopping to the left and got sick of it,then ordered this.
