you got the first set untreated,the second and third heattreated,the darker ones are moulded under air pressure to try and keep the bubbles out. (which i tried especially accounting your advice sooner in this thread) i told everyone who tried my pads that theyre far from being a finished product. me and my mates are fine since months now,sorry if you havent had a good experience with them,jack

phtalates, every rubber/plastic vapors that stuff out. have children while you can or avoid smelling it

thanks for your nice post! well,theres no further testing now,they work.me and three mates are riding only my "trimps" since months. no problems,decent dry performance on light,down to a dull grind,no slippage when its moist.rain is another thing,but hey,nobodythings perfect got around 40 sets left if anyone does fancy some

tar.

i'd say stems make the bigger difference (if bars are in the same angle),but if you change the zoot bars for say any bars out there it'd be an improvement already,theyre awful

lancargo goes through sao paolo,so that 'd be where it is right now (last cargo flight from lima just arrived there)

typo?

geo mismatches where happening regarding to what people said( i never got anything wrong yet,people i know around here too). most of the frames that cracked either where old like hell(4-7 years)and have been ridden hard,or designed by the customer in a way it had to crack sooner or later("hollow" options on places where you just shouldnt want them). nothing lasts forever,dont expect any frame to go strong for ten years,thats just unrealistic unless you only ride to the lake in summer as always this is just my own biased opinion hahaha

we need "vasha is the new flipp" t-shirts no,seriously,thats style in its pure form

no problem.carlos is moving with the shop atm so expect postage to be delayed by a few days(not more)

thats precision,cleric.no need for big ass rotors

they are legit and have a great,very fast service.

to me the neons look dangerous but then again i am running dirt/street rims since the beginning,so who cares

sorry,but think about a bike technichians words when he says "the manufacturers ALWAYS make their calculation with the best circumstances possible" that includes square contact,straight rotor,absolutely no air in the system,no bends in the hose,a defined friction coefficient of the tire,a defined spoke tension etc pp and so on.some even dont make themselves the hassle of testing on a real bicycle,they use a testing machine with a roll thats accelerated to a certain mass and speed and then stopped in different pulses.what you read about the braking power in their catalogue later is just those values they've got scientists to do that,i think youre going too far again with your opinion being the only truth.comparing laboratory results to real riding is the main problem because everyones setup is slightly different (which starts with the frame being used) edit:just saying,friction on a brake never is linear or constant,it changes due to surrounding factors changing,like air humidity... but hey,you wanted to take everything into account haha

insert popcorn eating gif here hahaha

welcome to china.

dont know why anone would do that nowadays,but for the seatpost thing:at least 3 times the diameter or 1/5 of its length,whatever is more. i'll build my own transport trailer for my commuter where i can put my trials bike and ride around at full speed. wouldnt that be a better idea for you?

pawls are the parts of a hubs freewheel mechanism that engage to apply the force from the chain/sprocket to the hubshell. :wink2:

longer stem could help,longest i'd go for on an inspired would be like 120x35 if you've got a flat stem (6°,9° or whatever) try to get something similar,but longer first

they cant fall out if you bend the ends to like 90° each and theyre there only for retention,if you use a piece of wire its holding up to it

shimano deore or slx i'd assume.you'll get pad noise with nearly every shimano brake,its normal

thats deffo not normal,there are NO reverse threaded exctractor threads on any crank i've seen so far. strange
