  1. I agree, playback over record issue. Use their software on a PC or Mac, http://gopro.com/software-app/gopro-studio follow completely through the three parts-import, convert, edit/export. If using an Ipad, I would think you'd have problems trying to play file immediately .Hook it up to a TV with a cable, or convert it and view it on YouTube as has been mentioned. The post-production for GoPro footage is cumbersome, because the magic is in the level of encoding that occurs in the camera when recording the file. This is what makes the file so difficult to play on an average computer.
  2. Awesome, thanks for the reply onzatpro09 the rear disc is well ground, new pads on the Magura HS33, now just need the rain to stop. Thanks for the advice about the brakes, good to have my suspicions confirmed. The bike has been well used, well set up, and is ready to go. Complete reversal to the last bike.
  3. Yeah, the freewheel is in the cranks. Bash guard, rear Magura, front Grimeca hydraulic disc, Echo rear hub, Maxxis tire, lots of new parts, lots of Monty parts. Pretty stoked, even during the test ride I think this has a lot more potential for my beginner lack-of-skill-set. Pretty stoked.
  4. Sold the bike in September, picked up a well-used Monty 20" with Magura rear brakes, think this is going to work way better. The hub is in the bottom bracket, totally cool.
  5. Thank you everyone. The brakes on the bike work great-one finger. The longer, higher angle stem has improved my bike fit, the new drive-train is fine. BUT, as per my original post on this one, I think the rear hub, and the crank-rotation required to engage, is a problem. It just takes too long to engage so I can work against it with my pedaling. I back pedal a lot to get back to the threshold point. The new rear hub will probably be the most expensive upgrade to the bike, with wheel-building putting the total to more than the whole bike. I think I have to improve the hub. Do people agree?
  6. Got a 135mm 35* new stem on there now, I notice a difference, even not being able to do anything. New drivetrain is on the way: I like the derailleur as I can ride to my practice spot a lot quicker with the gear selection. Working on my practice sequence and flow, what skills I work on in what order and how. And have the Ryan Leech "Mastering Basic Trials Skills DVD".
  7. Hello, Just got my trials bike, a cheap '08 Norco Evolve. Does one size fit all in Trials riding? I'd like to install a stem with a way higher rise as I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs, and it just feels like I'm bent way over the front on the thing. But, maybe I don't have to? Also, the rear Shimano hub, a 485 or something, doesn't engage quick enough to use pedal force to balance with. Is this something I can wait a while on, or should I fix that too? Does anyone ride a Shimano hub? thanks,
