not clean

it's a pity that this cool thing doesn't account bars

After setting up TT 70-35 stem instead of onza 100x30 I hated riding! TT stem was setted up with 30mm of stackers, onza with 25(maximum possible amount of stackers). With TT stem on rear wheel bike feels terrible, not only on rear, in common bike feels terrible, also it feels too low (13mm lower and 26mm less reach than with onza). So, many people on TF says that short and high front is awesome. So whats wrong? Do I need more stackers or maybe I just need to get used to short stem? Or maybe 70x35 stem is too short? I understand why high front on street-trials is awesome, but why short front is awesome?

Flipp, your riding is so awesome. It makes me to think about building some brakeless mod. Is that the same old trialtech forks(3+ year old)? And what stem is that? 180x35?

Yesterday it was -25 and pretty windy. Awful weather. Now is -12 and very snowy. I hate this climate. There are no problems with spots and city is not so bad to live but climate is a real problem. 3 months you can ride well. 4 months not so well and 5 months of shitty winter. So the climate of UK is divine as compared with ours.

So.. this is our place to ride untill deadly winter is here(and she is here untill the end of April). If I want to ride I getting with my bike into some post apocalyptic soviet trolleybus and ride to some post apocalyptic abandoned soviet factory. You really don't want to watch post apocalyptic movies and play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. if you live here. Because post apocalypse is here and now.

brake the law to get it. it's worth it

If bolt is unscrewed I can take off crank with my hand. But when it screwed It seems to be OK.

Wife + kids + family = slave nolifer. F it.

Yeah. I'm on my way to it.

If your work intersects with your hobby - you are really lucky. I'm happy for you.

I'm not saying "WORK IS SHIT DONT GO TO WORK blah blah". Anyway you need money to live and almost every hobby isn't free. I'm just don't understand people who works for 8-12+ hours/day. Why? I already said. Life is here and now, not then.

Work-work-work-eat-sleep-family-work-work-work-eat-sleep. Why? To earn more money? But you will not have time to spent it. You will not have free time for what you love(riding and any kind of activity/drawing/ANYTHING that gives you pleasure and satisfaction. Furthermore THIS people (work-eat-sleep people, WES people) are teaching others how to live, tells others how "WRONG" they living their life and how they small(implying that person who they teaching is "a child") mentally and also that people who not lives WES way are infantile. So what do you think about it and how you live like? I don't want to live WES way. I want to have much free time, at least much enough to satisfy myself. I have many interests and want to go far in all of them. I just don't understand how all this people can live like that. They have no interests in life? They are too stupid and live like the others because others live like that(millions of people can't be wrong)? Or if they don't like the way they live why they not changing anything? I'm pissed off because of that people telling they f stupid opinions like "RIDING ISNT SERIOUS, YOU NEED TO BUY A CAR!" Or "PARKOUR IS FOR KIDS! BICYCLES IS FOR KIDS! ADULTS GOING TO WORK AND DO NOTHING ELSE!" They ideal life is to get some high post in "cool" big company that allow them to buy new iphone every time it released plus some clothes and "cool" car to show off. I have only one life and life is truly a short affair. It is better to live doing the things that you like. It is foolish to live within this dream of a world seeing unpleasantness and doing only things you do not like.

Get some muscle so you will not need to ride gaylight.

Extend your steerer(maybe buy uncut fork) and try some 70-90mm 25-35 degrees stems. Someone say it's individual, but it seems that high bars and short (not too short) stem are awesome. If you feel that's something wrong - it's wrong.

Chineese shit(ECHO) snaps like cookies. Actually it's random. You may ride hard for 1-2 years on 2008 urbans and snap 2012 urbans in one week.

Well.. it's strange.

Oh myh gooood you opened my eyes! I ride NOT TRIALS. I'am the NOTTRIALS rider. The Street-nottrials rider. But at least I ride bike, not a shovel.

Maggie feelin crappy? Maggie feelin leaky? Go the f**kin brakeless not to feel shitty!

awful quality. awful bars angle. what was he thinking?

By the way how long is working day in UK? Now I work 5 days/week 9 hours/day(lunch time ~30min) plus learning in uni.

Isn't it AWESOME? I freaking love places like that, Places with NO people. Oh how I want to go to Prypyat an USSR dead city. This is my another passions besides of riding. We explore locations like that (some of them are abandoned). Packs of wild dogs, sharp knife in sheath, absolutely no one besides you, rust, ruins and atmosphere of loneliness and emptiness. This is awesome. To explore, to climb, to sit on the rooftop of some almost destroyed postapocalyptic-like building and talk with a friend in the rays of the setting sun. Or if place not abandoned - it usually protected. So sometimes, we like some saboteurs from movie sneaking through the guards and hiding in shadows anxiously waiting until guards leave and in fear of being spotted when runaway is pretty hard.

Lolwut? The quantity of gays have direct impact on the quality of life? So we should burn them with fire or breed them?

how it's connected?
