  1. I went to a skatepark the other day and swapped bikes with a BMX rider. Made me want to get a BMX. It's so much fun even though I cannot ride it. It's kinda like broadening your horizon. Unfortunately, if you swap between bikes, you don't improve as fast. When I got back on my Inspired it felt weird.
  2. They might argue that you could cut yourself or others with the rotors.
  3. I just hope that I don't destroy my Hope. I've just mounted the bolts at 8Nm. The wheel is now sitting on my radiator to have the best result as possible.
  4. I cleaned everything, used new bolts with Loctite and still got the problem. Is it normal that there is almost no resistance when I screw in the bolts until the point where they become tight?
  5. Next time a picture from the side the sun shines on it.
  6. Still not very good at manuals let alone doing them after a bunny hop. I also kinda hate it, when the runup for bunny hops isn't straight so I forced myself to do this today. I am getting comfortable with drops. The goal for this year is to drop down 2.50m. The drop in the video is 1.80m

    Time will come. By the end of March I'm less busy.
  8. Too bad that there aren't any BR-M810 around anymore. Pad knock is considerably less than on a Magura caliper and the lever is nicer as well.
  9. I wish I could ride like them. I liked the video a lot.
  10. I dare say that there isn't any noticeable difference between the MT7 and the MT5 when it comes to power.

    Heard about the name but why bother with some story of a made up girlfriend and even print T-Shirts? I'm too old I guess.
  12. Ok. I never went wrong with going fast and braking hard until almost 0km/h. This is what Trickstuff and other companies suggest anyways. Your method probably works as well.
  13. This is how you claze your pads.
  14. But never to a full stop. 20-30 times brake from 30km/h - 5km/h as fast as you can.
  15. There is a way. Just get some cheap Shimano levers. SLX 665, XT 775, Saint 810 and the like.
  16. I actually wanted it to be in one flowing motion but the first fail is actually my last attempt and I kinda hurt my but there.

    Or blue... I don't really like the red.

    I know. I always just wonder how high some walls might be. I can barely get up obstacles that are bar height.

    I would like to have them just to compare with my own poor ability of bunny hops. Looks like 130-140cm.

    Do you know how high the wall is you hooked in the video? @Ross McArthur
  21. Now with brakes. Had a short ride today and I really love the BR-M810. Way less pad knock than the Saint 820 with the exact same pair of Trialtech pads and also less pad knock than Magura MT5s. Brakes are bled with Putoline HPX 2.5 and don't show that annoying bite point movement when pulling the lever in short succession a couple of times.

  22. And aren't very likely to match the rest.
  23. Thanks. Yeah the other way round would suck. I'm surprised that there weren't any problems with other brakes.
