"S" for soon?

If D= gap to front distance in feet, and R= number of repetitions of gaps to front per day since March, and T is time.. When D averages at 5 feet and R averages at about 20, the equation looks like this: 5D+20R=T If T equals time in days, what number of days will it be before the forks snap?

so you can just choose what class? It isn't pre-determined by age/comp experience?

So, after my bike is up and running again, I'm hoping to attend a trials comp. I've never been to any before, which is sacrilege of the highest order, but I need some information on the beginner/novice/etc. It may seem rude of me to go in the beginners, as I'm not a beginner, and It would be unfair to the riders competing in the beginners,but I've never been to a trials comp before, so does that make me a beginner...? I have no idea how it works

yes, it does.... Pedalling up onto buildings instead if walls methinks

It's already attached to a rim, so im is on that until I can get new spokes.

I enjoyed your filming on clean by the way! Very well done sur

I'm honestly not sure whether that's an insult or not... Should I rename it "here, look at another of my shit drawings?"

oh hello ericbenjaminr

I just kinda look, laugh, then rip it up

Have you ever had the moment while drawing, you look atcwhat you've done and go- dafuq did I just draw

thanks

Here is my limey 320. Few updates, and a few in the works. Still waiting on Royal Mail to deliver my tryall pedals and new drivetrain. May be here a while spec: Onza limey 320 Steering: Tryall 3D forged stem Echo sl forks Trialtech high risers SARS headset (bit if a gem find, never heard of them but it looks and works amazing!) Drivetrain (some still waiting for) Onza cranks Tryall elite caged pedals (to be delivered) Echo sl 108 freewheel KMC chain 12 tooth sprocket (18-12 gearing, still waiting on the sprocket) Tryall "h" laced to a tryall rim front and back, waiting on new hub to arrive as mine is broken on the rear. Brakes: Shimano Deore 2013 front disc, shimano rotor front Magura raceline hs33 2001/2002 rear, works surprisingly well. Hopefully properly riding soon feedback appreciated and welcome. In the first picture it has a disc brake on the back, sorreh.

oh I probably made that unclear, I know they'll sort out spokes but I can't afford them, I got this wheel for free.

Yeah I'll measure it up, may be using a cruddy single walled rim until I can get spokes. Been without a drivetrain for a month now. I might get lucky, you never know

no, both the hubs and rims are different. Ones a tryall "h" disc which is broken, the other an onza. The tryall had different spoke flange sizes. The onza flanges are the same size. The rim on the onza is single wall, the rim on the tryall is double wall. I want the double wall on the onza hub

It looks intense, yet simple to use is what I meant. Professional.

that is one intense calculator. I thought it might aha. Might get lucky. I'll go see what happens. I've got some tryall snailcams I put in the free cycle thread by the way, postage free of charge if anyone's interested, they're gathering dust

I can build wheels, but I have these two wheels, one has the hub I want, the other has the rim. So obviously in going to swap them over- the flanges are different sizes in the wheel with the rim I want,the hub I want has the same size flanges, so I'm using the spokes from the hub I want. But the rim on the wheel with the hub I want is a single wall, undrilled rim. The rim I want on the other wheel is dual walled, drilled rim. Will this make a difference to spoke lengths?

A good way to learn is to put the front wheel on an object, about 1 1/2 feet high. Once your stable, lean back to take the front wheel off the object, then start your hops. Do it in different ways to find the most comfortable place, mines more of position with the bike quite upright, high front wheel. Some people prefer it quite low to the ground. We can't stress this enough though- PRACTICE. Do different techniques as much as you can. It takes different times for different people. Don't be put off when people say "oh I learnt it in a week" it varies between people. As for pedal kicks, I learnt them by accident as I was rolling along, and almost hit a dog turd, stamped on the pedals and jumped over it, instinctively pulling the rear brake as I landed. By the end if the day pedal kicks felt natural.

I fixed the problem took the piston out of the body and have it a good once over. New spring. The whole shebang. Returns nice and snappy.

right, haven't taken it apart yet as I was busy, but if it doesn't return does it need replacing?

No... I don't know anything about maguras I'm usually dual disc... Should I take it apart and go from there?

no, doesn't return for about 3 seconds, then it becomes solid. I don't understand, I gave to a perfect bleed at lunchtime, no air can get In, how is it managing this? It was fine for 3 hours then I left it for about 2....

tried that, doesn't work the pistons are really slow to return or just don't at all
