Surprising too , because Yamaguchi are a reputable builder , notable for custom race frames .
-
Blimey ! Mighty impressive riding and I'll confess to being skeptical when I saw the height bar . You guys put on a killer show .

Given my username I'm kinda bound by ancient oaths to reply in this thread . As to actual advice - yeah , learn to overdo it and learn that you can safely bail then get a feel for where that tipping point is .
He can learn whatever he wants to in whatever order he wants to. He's riding for the fun of it ...

Correct .

The Something Awful forums are always good for a chuckle and an interesting read ,paid subscription but worth it .

Really cool ! Didn't know Jason Stathham was a director
. Clever cold opening with the lonely night street scene which goes into a diversity of people just havin' fun on bikes . I ain't gonna run out and buy an HTC , but always good to see Mr.Mucke , too ! -
Abundance doesn't make yours any less interesting , looks agile and light and as for :
..well , umm
Chuckled at the topic title too !

If those damned crate / boxes just had some rubber matting under 'em so they didn't slide it would have made a world of difference , surely he noticed they were loose during practice ( if any ) ? Is there any awareness of what trials is among the U.S general population ?It seems by all accounts a bike unfriendly country across all disciplines , let alone just general private use .
EDIT : Was it too much effort to clean that bike that will be filmed and broadcast under studio lighting in high definition - look at that dirty assed rear King hub .
-
Incidentally , killer delivery times and service from Trialmarkt too , if any further evidence were needed against senior members' Tarty bias .
-
Superb ,really inspiring when downright big lines are executed so effortlessly and I admire any rider who'll show his crashes too !
-
Really impressive as always and it's great to see he actually enjoys riding .Love the little correction " pops" he does upon landing like at 01:30 , looks so energetic . Heavily strapped / braced wrists
he O.K ? -
...second hand bike market in the Netherlands ...
... 2nd hand market in the Netherlands ...
Choice aplenty actually ,up to and includin' full sus DH monsters (in the topographically flattest country in Europe ! 
) but I really want a fully rigid bike with V's . I thought that my Cannondale , also secondhand from the same site would do the trick :
...but the blasted lockout still leaves ,like 5mm of motion which jars unpleasantly like bone scraping on bone and emits a smoothness killing thunk .
You're right -the Speccy's spec 
really is dated though having seen it in person,it really is in literally perfect condition though I declined the purchase . It's in my favour that I can wait a while as most buyers want sus , disc brakes etc so it'll be available for a while yet . Hmmm , First World problems ... -
First off - this general cycling sub forum is one of the best additions to our hallowed forum in years , good show mods ! My question -
I'm on the very brink of going ahead with buying a used bike and need your advice whether it's overpriced or not . It's this speccy m5 which I'm going to inspect / collect tonight . The ad's largely in Dutch but I guess you can make out most of the spec ?
King hubs & headset ,carbon fork ,XTR STI and v's , eggbeaters etc , seemingly in great condition . The fella wants 1100 € for it ( approx 994 quid. ) Hideously overpriced / reasonable / bargain ?
-
Really cool to watch , killer riding location .

Us foreign fellas wanna see this !

...a few years out of riding, now im about a month in again...
Blimey , you ain't kiddin- joined in '04 yet only 16 posts ! Welcome back , let's hope it's just jour body being unaccustomed to riding .

still had the presence of mind for a tailwhip

King
James
Mark's hub caused socioeconomic upheaval and a religious schism ?
Tasty riding Mr.Westlake ,on a truly chameleonic bike !

Damn ! Having specced , bought and assembled my ideal back wheel :
...I'm back to the Onza rim 'cause the Trialtech just wouldn't play nice with my rear brake and needs constant retruing .
The new XT vees with cheapo clear pads are ridiculous , an inexpensive upgrade but makes a huge difference.
-
Love 'em (on the rear wheel aswell) and the LX arms were just fine too . Sometimes the V posts on frames are the screw in type and have spanner flats on 'em , ensure they're tightly screwed into the frame !
-
Trials is a great way of improving your general riding.
And vice versa , a lot of competition dabs are attributable to maneuvering between the actual obstacles .
-
Nice to see newer riders helping eachother out - this is how the scene grows
Superb chain wrap in that pic Tioz , no way that's slipping .

...tends to loose the setting after a bit...
Hmmm , what actually changes here - is this just normal pad wear and the cable settling or is it a radically different feel / effectiveness ? As to the actual hardware , the SD7s are highly regarded but certainly don't discount Shimano. The XT or even LX arms are superb .

First time I've ever been filmed , during a nice casual session this afternoon .

At the risk of sounding both old and elitist - horror is best when read since it's more psychological than visual except for cheap shocks and unexpected s**t jumpin' out at you .
