    Alias has made a good choice selecting you as their team rider. Whenever I see a video of yours, I want to spent my money on one of those bikes. I really hope that the "don't care" part was only about making longer vids...
  2. And they feel better. Somehow firmer.
  3. Front: Hope Trialzone, Magura MT4/6, Shimano SLX (with tape modification) Avid BB7 Rear: HS33 slaves with Trialtech Lever.
  4. Yeah well... I'm gonna be shit anyways. Sucks not having any pavement with walls in the way anymore.
  5. I moved to a place where there are absolutely no street trial spots but a lot of nature trials. My Console I just build up is kinda out of place there. I was thinking of getting a 24'' pure trials bike but this might be better, as I can swap my parts over to it. As your setup is pretty much like mine would be, what would you recon. Is it a good bike for nature trials? I mean you're a bit biased but yeah. These are Arcade bars and a 90/35° stem right?
  6. Moved to a new place due to work. Very nice city but virtually no street trial spots nearby. There are a lot of nature trials spots like Shipley Glen but my Inspired and I were getting along just fine without any nature.
  7. I didn't but Ben Travis also only rides 180mm rotors with Magura MT6 stock pads.
  8. +1 on the Jitsie pads (which are the same compound as the Clean and Trialtech pads). No need to run 203mm rotors. I even went "back" to EBC redstuff pads on the front (180mm) because the Trialtech were too much (with my 810 saints).

    Magura MT's

    Ok. I've only had the black ones so it looked weird to me. Just return your brake and get a new one. Pain in the ass but nothing you can do really. Although... On my Magura HS33 piston I used insulation tape on the bolt and it does leaking. Worth a shot I think.
  10. These stairwell jumps though...

    I don't remember the bleed bolt having a washer underneath it.

    Check the banjo bolt. Mine leaked there.
  13. I wonder if this tire is supposed to be used on kids bikes. Why the reflecting tape?
  14. One logo at the valve, the other between two spank logos I suppose.
  15. Now with two white logos. Seems to be a ltd edition. I'm not sure about the price though. It is black chilly but it may be like with the Der Kaiser, a different compound.
  16. It seems there is a new version on the market. I don't know why they put the reflecting tape on it though. Would be cool to know if it's the same Black Chili compound as the tire is considerably cheaper than before (48€).

    Hope help

    You mean caliper No 3 and No 5. The first is 180mm rotor on the front, 160 on the rear, the second is 160mm on the front and 140 on the rear. Does the Rockman frame has a +20mm mount? If so, you'd need a 180mm rotor on the rear to go with your frame and caliper (no adaptor needed, only the 0.1mm shims to center the caliper).
  18. Those cranks fit the frame nicely.
  19. But the mount doesn't have to do with the caliper hitting the adapter. It would even do this without being mounted to the forks. It really looks like it's upside down. If it's an Hope adapter, the letter on it should face outwards. edit: It really looks like an Hope A adapter and mounted the right way. Just try a Magura QM-11. This should fit.
  20. Today I tried to put into practice what Luke told me. Go as slow as you can and focus on the pushing down before pulling the bike up. The sidehop at the end had me stoked as well as the last time I did this I was on a pure trials bike.
  21. I would, I just don't get the joke.
