My stem is the trialtech high rise(130mm,30degrees) on an ozonys cannibal yeah, maybe. I don't try to pinch so I probably don't expect it and can't compensate for the downwards motion

If the quality is like this, with the riding of this quality, it should be great

I need a bit of help with gapping, as per the title. When I started gapping, about a month ago, I just pedal kicked as hard as possible, and that sort of did the trick. But now I've started to preload massively and pedal kick less, which is good. But if I pinch while I preload, I end up kneeing the stem and landing short. Any tips? I'll try to get a vid of my technique up very soon

More of this. If it was twice as long, I wouldn't have cared. Quality

True, but it's frustrating to f**k

No.......................just no

Matt Arkwright is my favourite rider. So powerful and controlled But for sheer quality and volume of riding,videos and a good attitude-TRA and Chris Akrigg

Shmart lad.

Thou shalt not cast aspersions upon my grinding prowess.............But I have ground a rim before and it turned out well, but my dad reacted badly to it.

I've basically told him I'm intending to do it. And I told him I looped out on some particularly vicious rocks, and all he said was"wear your helmet". He's gonna be stuck like this for ages til I do it and he has to accept it. But I'll show him this topic anyway.

TNN Be-Greens, and I don't like the idea of tar, as I'd f**k it up. They just don't have enough hold at the moment, because I'm fairly heavy (200 pounds) and progressing to the point where I would require extra hold and bite. Also, I need advice on my Louise disc brake, which has lost its hold and a lot of its bite, plus while the TPA still works, the lever almost pulls to the bar.

Look it up, can't be saying.

you it's a DOB Mag rim, and I'll show my dad a few grinding videos(no pun intended).

I have to grind my rim, cause I'm from Ireland it rains every other day, and also cause I want to get the most out of my TNNs. But my dad won't let me because he believes that it will destroy the rim, even though I plan on grinding once every month/month and a half. So can grinding, if done correctly, ruin a rim completely after one go, or will it weaken it significantly.

got fairly good at these, so my advice is put extra extra into your preload, and make sure both brakes are locked. Then its a matter of making sure you land it right. often the front wheel will raise quite high if the move is performed, so keep an eye on it, so you don't fall backwards

The damage to the bikes is just disgraceful. These idiots would never have even been able to ride them, so why steal them? Anyway, congrats on the recovery, I love Limey 4s.

Actually maybe a break from riding while you build up a stock can help you accept the stocks difference of handling and power delivery easier, just an idea

Durex Helmet!

Too late! Small amount of cuts and removed a few inserts, and its light and roomy, while still providing protection. Why what I just typed sounded weird I don't know

When you say you read, what do you read? No book I've ever opened has had that much bullshit spewing from it like the words that flow from your keyboard.

I haven't pics, but I think its just my head being shaped oddly. The foam isn't structurally integral to the helmet, just padding for your head so it doesn't hurt like f**k when it gets bashed off the floor. And I'll probably go to a shop and try a few on, to see which fits my head best

No money. And if I have a helmet already, why would I buy a new one if I could just make sure it fits by modifying it.

I have a Bell Faction, which I hardly ever use cause I feel its not protecting me, due to my massive head pushing it too high to protect my forehead and to some extent my temples. I'm just wondering if I modded the polystyrene-like material inside, would it sit lower and protect me better, or does everyone feel this when they wear a pisspot? And any suggestions if not, on how to solve this problem. PS the helmets XL/XXL so its the biggest I could get.

Its the chain, as I load the drivetrain like a muthaf**ka, and the ones I had were simply rebranded 9 speeds by the looks of things. I just got a k710 kool and its holding up, so its all good in the end

You sir have won the internet. But it was infact the chain, as I got another, and I snapped a plate. Therefore the chains as a rule aren't strong enough. And I was gapping at the time which gave me a nice few scrapes and gashes, as I was thrown six foot on to my face.
