    No leaking on ultimate, but my rear caliper piston leaked on the rsc. I found my rsc to perform better, more than enough power, and lovely modulation, levers my favourite, with the bearings its super smooth, im back on zee's and levers feel really slow in comparison. maybe theres a problem with my ultimates, they are going back under warranty. I had sintered pads and the goldren sw33 carbon ceramic same or similar to trialtech pads, but its just not right.

    Yeah, I love the lever feeling too, much preferred over competition. I'm probably going to experiment with sintered and organic pads a little. However its strange that you seem to have less power, most tests said it should be even stronger than the RSC... Give it another try when you get your set back. BTW, you could use the RSC levers with the ultimate if you preferred them?

    Watch the lever pivot bolts for coming loose, mine do frequently, i also have a clicking from one lever i assume thats to do with the carbon lever as i havent had this problem with the old rsc levers. Do the new calipers feel less powerful than the old caliper to you? Mine do. @andi87

    I've had the problem with the pivot bolt only once, using a soft loctite helps. Didn't recognize the clicking you mentioned so far, should be pretty much the same lever except the material? However I haven't really been riding this bike so far so I can't tell about the power. But found the RSC absolutely powerful enough. Maybe you can try some different pads (I'm trying sintered on the ultimate now)? Did you have problems with leaking with the ultimate so far? I've read you have with the RSC. :rolleyes: Cheers.

  5. Andi Schuster "Engagement"

    As the title says it's a pursuit with a "bad" guy who actually just wants to hande me the engagement ring. I'm absolutely ok if trial-based people miss the bike-action, I do as well. :)

    Why did the gay dude punch out the poor driver and scream bad words instead of walking around the fence  to chase you down and give you a piece of metal?

    because he knew from the previous scene that he wouldn't have a chance chasing by foot. the director liked it that way....

    Is that your girlfriend or mother?

    Are you serious man? Wouldn't have expected such a reaction and going to such a low level. Showed it to my GF and she felt very bad about it. Thanks man! That's a absolut NoGo for me.

    Hi Ross!

    I was surprised how well it holds up without tugs. It never slipped except after one bigger crash. I also get i nice, tight chain setup pretty easily and fast. However you have to tighten the fun bolts pretty strong (with the hope hub it slipped a few times, as you can't tighten the bolts as strong as the fun bolts). All in all very happy, never missed the tugs!

    Appreciate your post and know what you mean. We did the whole filming within one afternoon and Si pretty much used all the sequences we got and also used all combined and longer lines, without cutting them into shorter pieces. But I know what you mean, some lines seem to be a bit long. Will be filming with a team soon and may let then know that you want short lines, Ross! (A) :wink2:

    Cool, got any pictures of it?

    Regarding your style. I'm probably known for not being much of a fan of, "do a trick, turn left, go over there and do another trick, turn right, go over there and do another trick", type style. You're obviously a good rider - I respect the individual moves but it seems like your trying to cram as much into the 1 shot as possible of which I dont think theres any need.

  16. Trials on TV: BIKE-TRICKS WITH ANDI SCHUSTER

    Thanks guys!

    bikeperson45: Thanks! No real warm up, just did it very quick. I'm pretty used to ride shows (cold) with a very quick warm up, so that wasn't a problem. (I usually use the flatland part as a warm up haha).

    Ross: Yeah console. The BHhop actually wasn't that close. I may have made it looked close? :) haha. The length of the studio was just a bit short but the hop no problem. Although I consider myself a pretty relaxed demo rider I was nervous about the slackline part as it was a weird situation with the cameras in the background and have never done it in a show before. I was so glad it worked on the first try. :) Thanks!

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I enjoyed that. What were you training for?

    No real training. Just was to lazy to get another title... :giggle:

    Nice bike and riding. Fancy posting some bike pictures?

    Sorry, not until it is blackly sprayed! B)

    Definitely some nice lines there! Fount the stock video in the channel from few years ago, that's also pretty sweet!

    Thanks!

    Here are the channel links, if somebody wants to see the other videos:

    Used to ride 26 for ages but wanted to try a 24 as there are no proper 26 disc frames available.

    First rides where real fun:

    Hope you like.

    Best,

  20. Slackbike little fun vid

    Thanks guys!

    Its actually no real slack line but a webbing load restraint assembly, not sure how the correct english expression is. (http://www.spanngurt-technik-shop.de/shop/images/content/4%20to%20Spanngurt.jpg)

    But it has the same characteristics as a slack line, as some slack pros told me, just cheaper. Of course there are a lot of different slacks available (also material wise).

    A wider version isn't necessarily better for biking.

    180s bloody hard! ;) Lets see...
