What's your instagram? Wanna try something new as well. Teaching can be quite scary, once you've got the routine, it's gonna be even better.

Same thing happened to me kinda. I've been riding a lot lately and yesterday I was gonna take a day off. Then I saw your video.

You won't go back.

Hm... I wouldn't say that. You've started Trials just recently so you cannot really compare and say that this bike is better than, let's say the Inspired Skye. And how can a bike be better than me? Better in being made of metal?

I have had a ride with the Vaults and they feel so comfortable. I should've bought them earlier. Also the platform is that big that slipping of the pedal is more unlikely than with smaller pedals.

A MT4 brake with this lever blade should work as well shouldn't it. MT4 + MT5 lever bodies are the same aren't they?

Probably not. I kinda agree with him though. It is not (as) pretty (as the Inspired Skye).

It is possible though and not that hard with the right technique.

Keep the Hex.

The wrong way.

How did you fit the HC blade to the MT5 body? A MT brake with servo wave would be the bomb. No rubbing and a pretty light and powerful brake.

Some minor but significant changes. Pedals are now DMR Vault (so comfy), saddle an Odyssey Hawk, Headset = Hope, Front Hub Hope Pro 4 w/ skewer. I really don't know what else to change except some Titanium Bolts...

Looks hot!

No need to write much. They are very good brakes and even better if you run then with trialtech pads. Only downside is the small gap between the pads. If your rotor isn't 100% true, they rub. They are the best option on the market right now. If you have the money for MT7s you might consider hunting down some new Shimano 810s though.

Thanks. Which size do you buy? I see that there are many to chose from.

Size 10.5

I haven't ridden them yet but only standing on the bike they feel much more comfortable than my Nukeproof Electron Evo. Can't wait to go out and ride them.

Since a lot of people use the above mentioned helmet. Are there any aftermarket pads that don't fall apart after only 1 month of riding? I put the new ones in not even a month ago and the black layer of the pads separates itself from the rest resulting in the pads not sticking anymore.

This!

New job means moving to a place that has a lot of nature trials spots. Time to get a new bike.

And you are the one to make that rule? You probably voted for Trump as well... Who are you to judge what is aesthetic and what's not? And by the way, there are huge letters saying that it is Felix Kaiser so why click it in the first place? Pretty damn close-minded. You have had one too many hits "in the face with a lead pipe" I suppose.

Good you had the slomo then.

That might very well be but the other thing? I mean c'mon...

What's wrong with you?

Yes it has a lot of slow motion in it but I like it anyways.
