    Just wondering. Is this a Magura RT88 brake on the front of that fixie?

    Thanks. I really enjoy your videos. I wish I was that smooth.
  3. Upping here... I was wondering. I have a front Trialzone with the Tech 3 lever a 200mm mono rotor and Jitsie pads. The brake works as it should. Now I run a Vee on the rear with the SD7 levers and would really like to have the same lever on the front. I don't care about the lever feel as I am used to it on the rear. Does a well setup BB7 with Odyssey linear slick cables and Trialtech pads work as well as the above mentioned setup?

    You obviously don't need it anyways. Some up to fronts/gap to fronts would be nice though.

    Will you always be riding with a rear brake only?
  6. Your definition of shit is shit.
  7. You could browse through my blog if you're interested. I already knew how to track stand when I started trials but other than that I started from scratch. I took videos of myself trying new things and sometimes you have to learn one thing to be able to do another. Trashzen.com is a better page even though I saw the think bike tutorials in the beginning as well. Klick.

    Let me rephrase... "He couldn't ride it"...

    Didn't ride it, so yeah...
  10. And they have a webshop with decent prices as well.
  11. Does he even own a trials bike? He might not even be as good on a trials bike as he is on other bikes. I wonder...
  12. You could contact these guys. They might know people.
  13. Easier said than done. I don't feel tense before doing a sidehop. I'm just stiff as f**k and can't get myself to do more stretching than 5 minutes. P.s.: I don't have a mustache. I just haven't shaved in days.
  14. Couldn't have described it any better. @AndyT: Rolling the bars up more doesn't feel right to me. Edit: Next video will be lean and ripped but stiff nonetheless.
  15. Yes and yes. Had many parties lately and couldn't resist eating a lot. Having Damon as my idol I think I still have to eat more lard though. I haven't had a go at flexibility yet as I have to decide between riding and doing yoga and the latter... well... The "oh no" sayer, I don't even know why he said it in English being German, is a kid I don't even know but who outed himself as a "youtuber" and wanted to film me. edit: Bars are in line with the stem.
  16. I still have to fight against the blockade inside my head. This side hop I did without barely warming up. I caught myself by surprise so that I didn't have time to think about what could go wrong. I know that there is nothing to be afraid of other than scratching my frame but still, the blockade persists. Still, this wall is a step forward for me ( I even did this to rear one time but unfortunately, there wasn't anyone around to film it). p.s.: I will turn the levers a bit upwards.
  17. I had to get a different bash as the Neon would bend to easily. I also got an Echo TR 150x30 stem and the Trialtech fluid + hoses for the brakes. The clear hoses are a blessing but also a pain in the ass. After the first time I bled my brakes I put everything back together and pulled the lever a couple of times only to realize that there was still a tiny bit of air inside the hose. I had to rebleed the brakes a couple of times more to really be satisfied. The bite point didn't change and I dare say that I wouldn't have realized and cared with the normal black hoses ("What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel"). I also got rid of the Trialtech lever blades as they are too long so that the bite point becomes mushy. On the right I got a 3 finger Racing Line lever and am still looking for one for the left hand side.

  18. Same on my Echo 24'' I ran an IS mount brake and had to buy a 175mm disc. Luckily Hope offer them.
  19. Echo TR Brake clamps don't fit either. I have mounted some Echo SL with the alloy washers. Fits fine it's just a pain in the ass to set up and kinda ugly if you're used to the other clamps.
  20. Don't tell me it wasn't your scooter.
  21. Funny. I have never had a trials frame where the wheel doesn't move to one side or the other when tightening one bolt.
