As for the hope cranks, I feel that there a little narrow in the frame( my personal opinion). There a really nice crank set, with the inspired bash it's a perfect fit. I don't know if you have seen how they mount, just a bit tricky compared to most cranks.
Yeah, they are pretty narrow. I bought a set for my Arcade when they were fairly new out and they clear the chainstays stationary, but not always when under load because there seems to be a fair bit of sideways flex. I definitely agree with them being a bit of a faff to install too.
I don't suppose you've had any issues with snapped axles? I've snapped two of them; one on the splined tabs at the end and one randomly in the middle... I'm not going to complain though, I'm a heavy lad and not particularly smooth

Best video of his in a long time! I respect the balls he has for the big drops and tyre taps he does, but the mega tech in this video was much more my cup of tea

It's been around for about 2 years and is a version of of the brake levers they made for Martyn Ashton which he used on his road bike party videos
I thought they were just trialzones mounted vertically with a banjo?

Why the hell is he so slippery

I love ol' Pat. He's mentally good at all things trials and is the only bloke I have seen do proper 'street trials' on a moto. He can full-cab one for goodness sake! He makes me want to ride my moto sooooooo much...

For it to be slipping for someone your size, it's probably one of two things.
Either your pads and/or rotor are contaminated with a bit of oil/grease which is where I'd just buy new ones, but you can clean them if you're persistent.
The other option is that you're not pulling the brake hard enough

For the tyres, just chuck in a fair amount (40psi or 'hard-ish' for non-gauge people like me) and let it out to suit. Just make sure it is enough to stop the rim bottoming out and maybe try and eliminate most tyre roll. I generally run mine quite hard, but it all comes down to your mass/riding style/rim width/riding location and mainly preference

The correlation is rather indirect as my example of Jean-Claude shows. Direct would mean weightlifting = inflexible = every bodybuilder is inflexible, which isn't the case.
That's obviously because Claude doesn't just lift; he does flexibility training too.
If you focus solely on building muscle, you will sacrifice flexibility unless you actively work on sorting that too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has the forum not been dying? And have people not been moaning about it?
What I see here is a new young lad joining and trying to contribute, then people mocking him based on his mistakes and scaring him away...
Just an observation.

Hey... That's pretty good...
I really like that you know how to take pictures too. It really does the bike justice
I know you probably haven't ridden it much, but what are your initial thoughts on the Pro 4s? Are they really any better than the Pro 2s in the engagement department or is it just a newer and shinier version?

Yo @Levi / onza pro, are you sure you're not confusing Ali Clarkson with Eddie Karlsson the Swedish moto-trials rider?

I went out with my tripod today knowing it was a little wet and windy, but thinking that it wasn't raining so I may as well take advantage of it. I did a few bits and set up my phone on my tripod for another line, but it got blown over and went screen-down onto the gravelly tarmac. I smashed my glass screen protector and decided that was enough and promptly went home
-
This is seriously good and all, but personally I would like to watch the insane flow and smoothness of the likes of Ali C, Aaron Browne, Ben Travis etc. over this fairly repetetive beast-moding.
The basis of trials is getting through the environment without dabbing, in which case this guy straight up wins. However I don't really mind who can sidehop the highest, it's all about being smooth. I've said it before, but I don't care if someone is going up a 6 inch or 6 foot wall as long as it is silky smooth, and nobody is beating the aforementioned in the smooth department.
Just my thoughts

Something that you want, but wouldn't buy yourself. Like if you think "oh, that's nice", but think you could spend your money on something else.
For me it was a nice thermal coat that I wanted for when I'm out riding, but I probably wouldn't have ended up buying it myself. My dad bought it as a Christmas present and I love it

Realising that 'Real Life' you and 'TF' you are the same person = mind blowing.
Cool riding too! As said, front wheel control is sweet
Good mind blowing, right?

Someone call the smooth Police, Onzatpro09 has escaped!
That was some buttery smooth riding lad. Liked the line at 51secs. Great front wheel work throughout too.
Cheers, Ross! It genuinely means a lot to hear that

Cool stuff. Those tree pots are butt ugly though, I'd write a letter to the council if I were you.
I think they're only fancy road blocks whilst theyre doing some roadworks, so they'll be gone soon enough!

Do all of those companies sponsor you? What was the ending? Absolutely scary and loud.
Cheers! I do like front wheel stuff, but I'm no Ali C!
Haha, definitely not
I wish, but they were more of a space filler on the title screen than anything. The ender is just my way of making sure nobody takes my videos too seriously, or my way of ruining the feel/whole video in general if you prefer
-
I am already aware that the rims are laced opposite ways around, and I will be relacing the front at some point

Evening, chaps.
I got off of school early today thanks to a cancelled lesson, meaning that I had a bit of free time to waste. This is the result of that hour or so. Nothing that'll make you question physics or your sanity, but it was fun nonetheless
Cheers for having a look!

Your point was on fleek and it is all bare annoying, but you'll just have to allow it, fam.

You can fit Hopes if you buy an 83mm BB crankset and space out the axle instead of a 68/73mm. It might end up looking and feeling über wide, but it is a potential solution if you feel like going down that route.

annoyed cos I've not ridden for ages. I don't like riding with coats on or in the rain or dark so my only option recently has been skateparks but since I wrote my van off I've not been able to get anywhere
I'm in the same boat too. I have been able to get out briefly between showers, but always get rained back in after 20 minutes. I've even got a new bike that I haven't been able to have a proper go on.
I don't usually like coats, but I got a new one for Christmas. It's a Tog24 softshell and I think it's great. Nice and light, stretchy, pretty water resistant and really warm all at the same time, plus it's on offer right now

I had to send in some bits (snapped crank axle and bent freehub body) and they sorted it no issues in a couple of days. They even chucked in new bearings and a dust seal for the freehub body, so they're pretty darn good in that sense really.
