TriаlsRider

I don't know why, but my nevegals are much worse than holy rollers in snow! At least many people complains about them and telling that they having bad grip even at summer. The difference was really epic, I'm done about 15 drops from stairs (1,5m height) and no problem even with not ideal landing, when with nevegals I wasn't able to just ride.

So I've finally used a chance to ride normally my FR bike with good tyres. Maxxis medusa 2.1 (hardly weared) and big betty 2.4. The difference was like like night and day! Awesome grip, awesome control even in wet deep snow. Wheelies, manuals, BHs, stairs drops, rear wheel hops, anything is now possible to do.

Hah, you think these riders watched tutorials? Just ride more and use your brain - this is all the secret. No need of explanations more than videos(try watching it slomo if you can't get something).

Watch this and ride-ride-ride.

social networks are gay

Nice bike. Can you measure wheelbase please? 1020 or 1015?

Wow, with so long seattube you can pedal normally while seating. XC-street-trials lol.

And buyers of course. Few examples for a start: 1) Some street rider with 90kg weight that like to go big (drops and stuff) selling Trailtech HighRise bars for half of the brand new's price. Used 3 years! They can crack in any second, critically abused and logically costs nothing. This is stupid and greedy (also he told me I'll never snap them in my life if I buy them from him, lol). 2) I saw a bunch of greedy persons, who are selling used parts for price of the new ones! Or even higher, lol (very rare, but..). Or what is more frequently - selling used parts for price close to brand new. 3) When you are selling some good bike/parts for pretty delicious price there are some bunch of jebad persons that want to buy it much cheaper, for 1/2 or 2/3 of price when price is already pretty low! Am I the only person who selling used parts for cheap and don't beg to sell me something for much cheaper? Guys, WTF? We are all riders and we love bikes, so why are some of us acting like a bellends? Yeah I know this "don't like the price don't buy" thing, but.. This crap makes me sad. Don't be greedy, this is really ugly.

I don't see a problem. Maybe just some little Skorpy is shy. I have all trials riders from my city in friends, 2, lol. By the way you may get some help of any kind from some rider you don't know or just have a nice conversation.

Now compare this to first video

what a drama

By the way drifting is pleasure to look at, especially live. But what is really danger, as I said previously - stupid twats going too fast(100+ kmh) on public roads (where speed limit is 60kmh). And often this twats have no skill at all, so the danger they bring to streets is really huge. When drifting doesn't need high speeds. I don't remember a single case someone dies because of drifting in my city, but hundreds because of idiots going too fast. And what I talking about drifting doesn't mean I relieve responsibility from this drivers. You must be responsible for what you're doing anywhere and anytime. Killing on road because of being stupid twat happens more often in Russia because of too light laws in terms of punishment and corruption. So if someone kill/hurt me or those who dear to me I kill him or make him suffer. Because many twats can just pay off and have no punishment for what they're done or punishment would be way too light (probation instead of going to jail for killing 7 people on bus stop being drunk for example or just 3 years in prison). So you have to take justice in your own hands sometimes. And not only in Russia

The absolute is unreachable of course and life is full of dangers, so maybe just lie in a coffin and die instead of living this CRAZY INSANE DANGEROUS AND SO SCARY LIFE.

Depends on how and where you ride, lol. You can put pedestrians in danger with your trials bike. Stupid comment about Russia. People are absolutely same in any part of the world. And you can't kill someone instantly on 40km/h speed. This is really easy: the level of danger depends on: 1) Driver skill (the higher - the less danger is) 2) Quantity of peds/other cars on streets (the less - the less danger is) 3) What driver trying to do in terms of difficulty. (for example if you can do 3 meters BH gap successful 5 times put of 10 and trying to do this gap between two multi-storey buildings - this is really dangerous, but if you trying to do same gap between road borders this almost 100% safe). So if you are skilled driver, drifting on deserted streets at night and doing only what you are 100% sure you do without crashing - it's fine. It's like crossing the road at a stoplight on a deserted road - it's fine. It would be stupid to stand and wait because there are NO cars.

Don't you forget that trials is dangerous? Really dangerous, every rider will have problems with health in old age because of hurting your joints, breaking your bones, extra abuse on your back and body will lead to really bad problems when you getting older. Even not so hard but regular hurting of your joints and related areas will lead to problems in future.

Why? Who can I hurt on deserted street? In Russia was several LETHAL/really bad cases with bikes. For example FR rider killed 2 pedestrians in park by crashing in them on 80+km/h. So even bike can be lethal. By the way speed on that video is pretty slow, don't you noticed that? It's far more bad when some idiot rides 160+Km/h. This is far more dangerous for him and others. And most of the car accidents happens exactly because of combining too high speed with some retard driver. By the way, another advantage of drifting is gaining more skill to control your car that may help alot in some bad situations and even save your life.

Why? Your logic is like logic of people who expels riders from spots with words like "Don't ride there, go ride skatepark stupid BMXers! Skateparks was built for you, so get away! This %obstacle% is not for riding, you idiot!" If you don't disturb anyone and know what you're doing (means that your drifting is safe for anyone: people, other drivers) it's not bad I think. See how deserted streets are in this video?

Many of us on TF have cars, so I'm really interested in your opinions. This is my friend video.

So, today I've specially tested both bikes to find out how shitty kenda nevegal is and the conclusion is: kenda nevegal is totally, absolutely 100% shit. No jokes/trolling. Listen to this: It sounds like plastic, rides like plastic too. DMR Moto Digger has so awesome grip even at Icy/very packed snow! This tyres as different as day and night. So kenda goes to trashcan because it's not a tyre, it's a piece of shitty Chinese plastic by mistake called a tyre. I want some DMR Moto Digger 26x2.35 now. I don't understand how "brand" tyre may be so bad, it's really much worse than chineese noname which costs 2 pounds/tyre.

It seems that someone cannot read. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/185526-my-new-free-ride/

Get well and ride again!

Well, it seems that there are exist some optimal bar height and going too high is bad, you starting to feel uncomfy when doing BHs for example. On my FR bike there are 75cm bar heigh (109-34) and I'm not sure it's good. Need to ride more to find out.

There are at least 2 types of nevegal. Today was -21 so maybe it matters. But I have awesome grip at winter with DMR Moto Digger on my Inspired(at least at -15), tomorrow will be colder (-27) and I'll try to ride a little on my Inspired to find out how good grip of DMR is. I'm not always wrong, lol. Maybe rarely. But difference was really ultra-huge. Even chineese-shit-noname tyres on my chineese-shit bike was BETTER than nevegal.
