SLASH HIT SHOOT KILL THEN BURN THIS MOTHERF... Lol just kidding. Don't care at all. And there are not so much of them.

cooool

I'm not beating people. How the heck you made this conclusion? You cannot into logic or what? I said that in Russia there are alot of people who can start a fight for no reason. I will fight only in case of defense myself/relatives/wife because it is inevitably. If you can't defend yourself and who you love you not deserve to call yourself a Man.

I though you all love your country and at least satisfied with the quality of life. Also I want to ask about criminal situation, what is the chance of robbery on the streets/etc? How easily the dispute may turn into a fight? And what about killing/mutilating someone in defence? In Russia this is a real problem. For example: friend of my friend killed one scumbag and mutilated two out of five that attacked him(he was walking with a girlfriend). 5 vs 1 and pipe in the right place. He was sentenced to 7 years. And that's not fair I think. Also if you broke hand/jaw of attacker you may go to prison for 5 years. This is ridiculous. Well, you have no rights to defend yourself in Russia. And this is twice as ridiculous in country where almost everyone may start a fight for nothing.

I don't know whatthef**k you are talking about when you say UK IS EXPENSIVE BLAH BLAH BLAH, then why standard of living is so better in UK? Why cities so cool and clean, well-builded buildings, quality of everything is much higher (medicine, conditions on work). You, who says that UK is bad place to live is stupid or what? You are the one, right?

Consumer Prices in London are 70.22% higher than in Perm Consumer Prices Including Rent in London are 130.44% higher than in Perm Rent Prices in London are 361.99% higher than in Perm Restaurant Prices in London are 52.64% higher than in Perm Groceries Prices in London are 57.86% higher than in Perm Local Purchasing Power in London is 126.19% higher than in Perm And compare all that to difference between average salaries = 1226% Also Perm isn't a capital it's a small city with 1mln population.

>life(food,rents,...) costs are 10 times higher Really? My friend was in LA(USA) and told that rent of awesome house costs ~120GBP/month. In my city the most dirty and squalid apartments on the outskirts of the city costs 200GBP/month. And apartments like that house in LA costs ~1600gbp/month. And food? I don't think food is cheaper. Also about cars: import cars costs twice as much in Russia because of stupid government policy. The really bad thing about Russia - is that EVERYTHING is costs more when salaries is really low. Clothings in Russia also very expensive(same quality things costs few times more in Russia) in compare to Finland and Sweden.

Just because English isn't my natural language. By the way, Internet says that avg salary is 26500GBP/year in GB. So why you cant afford your own house? Impossible you said.. With average salary 2160GBP/year (its freakken MORE THAN 10 TIMES SMALLER) and cost of average apartments ~60000GBP(one bedroom apartment 60m2) in Russia you dare to say IMPOSSIBLE?

"pretty sick about their system" Because there is no system. There is a "maquette" of. Since childhood, I did not take this country seriously. It's more like circus with huge amount of stealing, violence and indifference. Because of infrastructure: roads/buildinngs/sidewalks are shitty(quality). Well, there are alot of reasons not to call this formation a country. Things getting better slowly, but so sloooooow. Russia is still the country of Awesome Possibilities for bad deals.

"it clear that you're not a nice person" What? You consider yourself good? And if so, can you explain why I'm bad?

Hello there! Topic isn't about KILLING AND MASSACRE, so isitadawgs, you may sit down and relax. I've been in Finland and Sweden and noticed that it's so awesome. Architecture, cleanliness, people. About people: they look happy, smiles often. Facial expression can tell alot about how they feel. And when I back in Russia.. my f****g god. The contrast was so bright. People faces are angry, unhappy, hopeless. After being criminal a little and then trying to get good legal job I learned a lot about Russia. All who lives good in here are not fair(stealing property/money from organizations they work in or from government or stealing/ deception from clients or taking bribes if it's possible or just different kinds of criminals) or/and works 12+ hours/day without weekends and vacations. I figured out that If you want to be honest - you'll die in poverty. Alto that average salary in my city is ~180gbp/month. So. How difficult it is to buy good apartments/house(how many years of saving up or how big is interest on loans) in UK and live good. To live(have some free time to ride and other hobbies and go out with girlfriend/wife), not to exist(work-sleep). And what about people? They are really so friendly as they look?

I like to hammer people, not an innocent bike.

I have an Idea of turning my Inspired to completely clean(absolutely no paint/logos/anodizing and maybe polished) look. What do you think about it? Or it would be better to raw only the frame and remove logos? Also is it possible to run it without sprung tensioner? With my current chain (KMC K-710) it's impossible to get necessary length to ride without tensioner or with spoke tensioner.

dillution affects only at freezing temperature. no damage to seals for years.

antifreeze. same as water but no problems.

I realized that I should try things more often, and the way it seems to be may be false. At first riding at winter seems to be awful, but it turned out that it may be not so bad.

Today I have some ride on Inspired my regular XC route and there are some obstacles. Generally it's stairs and related stuff, because it's regularly cleaned. And it's pretty fun. Not like summer, not like.. but there are many stuff that you can do at winter, such as: 180s/360s, barspins and many of street stuff (generally on flat), manuals, endos (difficult), bunnyhops/pedalups and other stuff that possible to do. Pedal kicks not so real to do because of surfaces are slippy. Riding at winter is fun in some specific way. Also you need to do pretty accurate moves not to slip. And falls is not so painful. Plus there are some crazy fun stuff like get some speed and jump/drop into snowdrift.

There are bunch of factors that prevent trials from expansion. The first and major is price. Cheapest "chineese-shit" bike like this: http://www.crazybike.ru/shop/details/3441/4/velosipedi/velosipedi-26/velosiped-because-color-custom-1 http://www.crazybike.ru/shop/details/3326/3/velosipedi/velosipedi-24/velosiped-24-because-street-custom-3 costs 700-800GBP. If compare that numbers to REAL (not showed by statistics) average income (~330GBP/month) conclusion is "WTF R U TALKIN BOUT THIS IS EXPENSIVE AS HELL". And people saying that is right, they can't even afford good food. If they children have a bike - this is some 60-70gbp chineese-ultrashit on noname parts with 25kg weight, Cutting officials into pieces, hanging, lynching putin and others good deeds are pretty hard to do and the problem not in officials, mainly people is shit and that's the reason of all this bad things (poverty and lawlessness) happening. So the second problem is winter, that can be solved by some indoors riding. In general I can do something. We need some bikes like onza that would cost ~300 GBP so this may positively affects on trials in our country. Maybe some parents would buy them bikes at this price. Anyway trials seems to be not so popular by itself. Maybe we need to focus on Street-trials. I think it would be much easily to get popular because on street-trials bike you may also ride park/dirts.

lolwut? like hipsters? trials hipsters that would buy trials bikes and make hundreds of photos but don't actually ride trials?

Things are different in Russia and UK. You have alot more riders and events/comps. Well what do you think is most effectively to make trials popular? I heared that alot of people was inspired only by videos Events/internet promotion/building trials parks/finding and putting in order places to ride in winter. Any Ideas and what do you think most effective?

Why? Why not just ride more? Stamina? Do alot of moves in a row. Stability? Just practice and practice.

I know ~1/3 of all riders of all styles in my city. Trials is TOO expensive for Russians, so I'm not just can guarantee that there are only 4+1 riders in my city, I sure for 100%. In Russia bicycle perceived by regular people like something STRANGE. If you older than 12 and ride bicycle - its STRANGE. If this bicycle not a cheapest chineese-shit YOURE VERY STRANGE! If it's a DH bike WOW WTF WHY YOU REBUILD YOUR MOTORCYCLE TO BICYCLE? If it has no seat OH MY GOUHD HOW COULD IT BE!!!11 CALL the POLICE!!111 And I am not exaggerating. Russia=stone age.

If you were graduated from high school you would know that Russia is largest country in the World and in some parts of Russia winted doesn't exist at all. In my region (Urals) there are ~5 months of winter (snowy) in other 7 months there are alot of shitty-wet days(I don't know why GB called "always wet and raining place" because my city is worse). It directly affects on our level of riding and amount (there are 4 trials riders and one(me) street-trials rider in my city, population 1'000'000) of riders.

1) Obstacles from ICE is so retardedly stupid. There is NO friction, how the hell I would ride on ice? 2) Obstacles from snow? Impossible, because it would be ruined and very fragile. Only if use some packed snow + Ice + WOOD. But it would cost some GRANDZZZZZ (workers + materials + trucks) that I don't have and plus some real problem is to find place where it can be setted up and will not be destroyed on another day. (f**king people STEALING DIRTS AND PALLETS! And also may just destroy something for fun,. stupid f**king animals, that live in large numbers in Russia) This is stupid, because it requires too much money and time. So good old shovel and some hammer(to DESTROY icy ice) is the only way. And after all it is still NOT so fun like at summer. I'm not complaining. The good side of winter is that it is a good time to learn back/frontflip and do some 5+ floors drops in snow if there are enough snow.
