You won't have the spokes dig into the hub body when standing on the wheel or does it happen? I usually put the hub body onto an empty duct tape roll (how is this called?) and push with both arms on either side of the rim. 16 times for every spoke on a 32 wheel. Works a treat as well. If you use good nipples (Polyax are my choice here) the spokes won't even twist when tightening and you'll never hear a ping sound when stressing the wheel. I still do it though.

How does it hold a grind.

I do it differently. I try to have the wheel true (up and down) the same time I tighten the spokes (left right). After a few turns of the nipples on the entire wheel, I usually tighten the shorter spokes (if it's disc wheel or on most rear wheels) to the max tension and only after this dish the wheel tightening the longer spokes. I also stress the wheel about 20 times in this process. The fine tuning is done with the Tensiometer again checking that all spokes are about the same tension. On a disc wheel I rather have all the spokes the exact tension than have it 100% true. On a rim brake wheel this cannot be done obviously. It also pretty much depends on the rim. Spank rims tend do be true already so if you start out with exactly the same turns on the nipples, it'll be true in no time. Some trials rims, well... aren't very true to start with.

What rim did you use? How wide is it?

Can this be considered a line?

Finally some company decided to go against the single wall trend and bring out a strong double wall rim.

It's not even that good on a Park Tool TS2.2.

Doesn't get any stronger than Trickstuff.

Just wondering. Why aren't the forks the same color as the frame? It was so on the older Arcades.

The talking in between the riding stuff was sooo annoying. Could've been a very good 7min. vlog.

While Danny has already gone onto other (wee day) projects. I'll try to learn those things anyways. Winter is coming and I need things I can do in my attic.

Good thing I don't know how to do them then.

And I haven't been sidehopping since I got the new bike. It's become really difficult with a 24'' street bike. I will have to practice them though. The only downside is, that I jump to the left and I have already smashed a rotor doing so.

Yeah well... you'll have to live with my lack of gusto.

Left the color of the rims. You never know what other frame may come my way. I really fancy something made of steel.

Who cares about the color if the rims?

Finally had the time to lace the hub. I didn't bother to change the color of the rim.

Got it like this...

The pedals? They come like this.

Thanks. It's not that I haven't been doing up to fronts yet. On my pure trials I got a bit higher and I'm hoping to do this with the Inspired soon. Thing is that it feels more natural doing bunny hops than pedal ups. Pretty much everything feels more natural except side hops.

I know it's not high but I am still very happy about this. Today was the first time I tried to do an up to front out of a bunny hop. Feels better than doing this out of a pedal up.

I have. Ripped my pants and my shin apart. Since then I haven't gotten over it and run shin guards.

I will keep the green and since I wanted to swap the pedals anyways... Love those pedals. Been riding them for quite a while.

OK. I didn't think of that. Thanks. But doesn't it move. The Trialtech tensioner was fixed at the chain stay but I cannot do this with the Rohloff.

How would that help if the pulley is too high? It almost touches the sprocket. A washer would only move it sideways.
