  1. On tyre written 30-65 psi, is it matter? Can I put 70-90 psi in it?
  2. Holy Roller Dual Ply exists at all?
  3. Yesterday 1 time, today i got puncture 2 times! Pressure was 50 psi! I don't get how is it possible. At first I punctured some chineese shit wangcheng 1.95" tube, I replaced it with Maxxis DOWNHILL 2.5" thick heavy tube and punctured it again! All punctures was on rear wheel, tyre Maxxis Holy Roller 2.4". Rim Alex Rims DX32. And all of them was "snake bite" type. I know that my technique not so good, but this is incredible.
  4. I had same forks and same problem - it was caused by this: so check your forks.
  5. Don't know what to choose to replace this bionic bars.
  6. As i started to ride TGS at first and hated it so much, I don't like new extremely stick-like frames and high stems. My previous Because 24 feels not like bicycle, but more like "special sports equipment". I started to ride TGS because of one good local TGS rider (he can side hop ~135cm) but as I was newbie I was confused and started to repeat what he's do. I still don't understand why people riding TGS, it's sooooooo stupid I think - why not to use pogo stick or just to train high/long jumps like in athletics. When riding TGS I was feel like riding a shovel: All that forced me to change something - and I went brakeless, then brakeless street-trials. It's strange, but brakeless feels not like a shovel ride. Nevertheless I love street-trials geo more. If I hurt someone's feelings - sorry.
  7. I don't have brakes and I can do a 180 endo rear and front.
  8. If some thing cost x, it would be STUPID to pay 2x or 2.5x for it. And more stupid to pay if you can avoid this, lol.
  9. I don't think Koxx is good for a newbie. It's comp bike for pro's with ideal skills and stability. The one advice I could give - ride for fun, do only what you enjoy. Don't force yourself and don't listen anybody, especially those who will try to teach you what you should or shouldnt learn on bike.
  10. Do you like this extreme change in geometry last years? And overrated (in my opinion) importance of bikes weight?
  11. Looks beautiful. How much bike weights?
  12. Is it possible? And if so, any tips how to learn it without brakes?
  13. Why? I've rode for 3 months on 1.75-1.95 24 tube with 2.5" Highhroller tyre and no problem.
  14. Well) It's Russia, so patch kit costs £4-5 and tubes for £2-3 is CRAP (some non-elastic chineese (wancheng or something) bad quality crap). Maybe it sounds strange, but it is a problem to find good quality tubes here.
  15. After I rode on picreleated without any issues I thinked about putting 26 tubes(1.95") in my 24 (2.4") tyres because I run out of 24 tubes and don't want to buy patch kit. And I also has a bunch of punctured 26 tubes. What if cut them to pieces and use like a patches?
  16. If brakes designed to use with mineral oil - magura royal blood is ok. About fluids - nothing better than water. Antifreeze better than royal blood.
  17. Tell us, approximately. Very interested.
  18. Today I rode about 5 hours. It's been my first ride in last 11 days because of changing the bike. And well,she's just what I wanted Now I need to restore my level and get used to new geo and weight)
  19. NO! I started TGS but I hated it so much that I was ready to drop riding. But I realized that I'm doing something wrong and started to do only what I enjoy at the moment plus varied moves a lot. And now it feels great with a huge load of motivation.
  20. It's just my opinion based on i've seen some snapped Inspireds (one even in 7 months) that belongs to average level riders and compare that cases to stresses that TRA puts on frame. If it's still THAT first hex he's riding - Inspired the best frames in the Universe. And if he broke a frame - it's just disadvantageously to tell that to people.
  21. I think he snapped several HEXes. It can't be ONE frame for all this time.
  22. But with Marino geo bunny hops and 180s must be easier to do.
  23. Because Trial Was: 1060 367 +65 72° stem 150-30 Marino is: 1035 375 +30 73° stem 100-30
