  1. About what setup to use, I for some reason can't ride 70x35 stem, too fekken low even with TT HR and uncut steerer tube (45mm of spacers). Few times I've tried to set 70x35 and then every time I get back to 90x35 I CAME OCEANS. Also there are only 5mm reach difference between 90x35 and 70x25 so it's not matters very much I guess. Mark, what do you think about it? Most of stuff I do on two wheels, so it'll be pretty rational to choose 70x35, isn't it?
  2. There are absolutely nothing dangerous in brakeless. As with "brakewith" trials you decide how much risk to take.
  3. Hmmm.. so being not a retard allows you not to use them. Brilliant!
  4. Isn't M10 bolts holds the wheel line in a vise? And when Console frameset (with uncut steerer tube) will be available to buy?
  5. Meh, it works, what else do you need? I'm nothing.
  6. GUUUUYS. Whats wrong with you? EU education is so bad or what? 4.5 ATM on this pic. Specially to test. I ride on 2.5 usually. And also I have new sets of holyrollers and DMR Moto Digger, but this tyre is obliged to serve me until it absolutely, totally worn. And she'll do that.
  7. What's wrong with what I've done, lol? You don't believe that this tyre lasts until it totally worn?
  8. >2 patches from old tube: 1 big inside 1 small outside + Inside there are insulation tape + isolation tape + 3M scotch + some visit cards. I'm sure it lasts until it wear off.
  9. What about grip in wet on natty and street stuff?
  10. Whole life. Trials/street almost for 3 years now. Can't remember. Huge BH dropgaps.
  11. I've seen Flipp been riding with some absolutely smooth (weared?) tires. I have a set of weared highrollers is it a good idea to turn'em into pure slicks and use em for street-trials?
  12. Don't know If guys at Maxxis are stupid or what, but HolyRoller 2.4" are wider than HighRoller 2.5 on same rim (approximately 5mm difference). Clearance of the frame itself are 9.3cm, forks 10.3cm.
  13. I want to try and see what happens. 3.0 or 2.6 if 3.0 too wide. Need them for some natural FR, winter and FUN.
  14. Would them fit fourplay 2013 frame and forks?
  15. There are absolutely no problem with 26 1.8 on front. If you want to go lighter - do it.
  16. Well, I'll try then all range from 17 to 14, some trialtech sprockets lying around in the garage.
  17. Lol. Plastic pedals are really must have imo. After few weeks of riding I can conclude that: 1) Grip are absolutely same. Even in wet. 2) They are more comfy than echo (contact area is larger). 3) My shins are came so many times because of impact with nylon pedals are absolutely nothing in front of SHIM SLASHING BONE CRASHING RAZOR-SHARP ECHO that makes so many holes in your leg you don't have time to count them. 4) No problems like OHMUHGHODH!11 PINS ARE TOO WEAK AND THEY break off in TЕH first ride!11 So yes, plastic pedals are solution of many problems
  18. Lolwhy? Sean no only can imagine but actually can ride with 16:14. Sarcastic or not, but Russia is a country of opportunities. You can start like a poor student that have money only for potato and oatmeal and then find yourself driving brand new LX570 or G55 a year later.
  19. Who cares? I do like ratlook and stuff so I dont care about how bike looks. The more scratches and wear the better bike looks for me.
  20. Done. Would serve until it be erased to tube. 2 patches from old tube + insulation tape + isolation tape + 3M scotch + some visit cards.
  21. I can confidently say that 30km is nothing for one ride. It's just normal. I leave the house, move to one spot, ride there until get bored, then move to another one. And here we have a ~30km line around the city. Plus I do something on the run, like stairs drops, BHs on/over obstacles, manuals, stoppies, 360s, anything you can do on the run. Don't know why you and few others have BATHTUB because of that. I ride this way and I'm happy. 22-12 for moving between spots and pure street(considering that it's 1.83 and 24 street-trials wheels almost like 26 XC you can get some really nice speed). On spots I set 22-17 and do more trialsy stuff.
  22. Any arguments? What was wrong from what I said?
  23. NO. I ride averagely 30km between spots every ride (except days I learn new tricks/focused on something) and see absolutely no problem. 50km is fine too. If you get seatpost extender: You can beat even 150km+ for 1 ride with it. But there are no need for me. I specially pointed out distance, considering street-trials is not so good for long distances(50km isn't long). FR hardtail like this: is perfect commuter for me, I can't just pedaling, I need to do every single drop/rail/BH on something... otherwise riding are pretty boring for me.
  24. I would choose Arcade/Console with hanger, 22-17/12 gearing and hope brakes w/braided hose. Perfect for trials(#ihatepogosticks), street, park, dirt, commuting for ~50km and even some FR (urban and natural, but not Red Bull Rampage like of course, lol).
