  1. Spending 20 minutes to fix is not worth it? I rode this tire patched by chineese tube patch for 3 hours today and nothing wrong happened except of a little 4mm hernia, but this is because of chineese patch that are too elastic and soft. So ordering new tire, waiting for week or more till it delivered is better? In addition to fact this tire is almost new condition that makes decision of throwing it in the bin pretty irrational.
  2. What about gluing both sides with patches from old tubes and then sew it all together to be extra sure?
  3. Just buy some plastic pedals and optionally ride in jeans. Awesome level of protection.
  4. It'll have some more impact resistance.
  5. Moves are the same(because most of moves already "invented", lol), but can be used to do some creative flowy lines. Ali's arcade and Inspired in Barcelona are way higher in terms of creativity and quality than this vid.
  6. there you are! say something about brakeless. do you still ride it? I've noticed that Mark, Carl and Sean are 99,(9)-100% brakeless all the time, what about you?
  7. Pretty interesting thoughts, thanks. In FR using front brake are pretty dangerous without huge 200mm susp. fork. so 90% of time I use rear brake and when doing street-trials front brake are almost irrelevant too.
  8. It's a good idea but having two identical bikes is pretty strange, although it would be really interesting to see opinions on how much brakeless bike must weight from some skilled riders. Because 10.4 kg seems too light for me. The main problem is that I love both types of riding. Brakeless trials is way more enjoyable for me (but some spots are better to ride with brakes), but freeride is pretty impossible without brakes, especially at DH track.
  9. The grass was greener and Danny was better. Seriously I love Dannys April 2009, Way Back Home and Industrial Revolutions more than any other his videos.
  10. I've started to ride brakeless after 8 months since I've started to ride trials. I found brakeless riding very fun and challenging and the main reason I decided to take off my brakes was decreasing joy of riding day by day. TGS is freakin' boring. So starting to ride brakeless strongly cheered me up and I fell in love with riding again. After 4 months of brakeless riding on my Because I switched to brakeless street-trials. I was totally brakeless for 1 year and 2 months. Then I've tried to set some brakes on my Element but I don't liked it so they lasted on my bike for 2 weeks or so. Then brakeless again, now for another 4 months. didn't liked for some reason how omen frame feels and turned back to element And all this time I was brakeless I was really happy! This was awesome and fun as hell! I love brakeless with all my heart. But in November of 2013 I've started to ride some fulldisc fourplay. So until yesterday I was riding with this hated by God little mechanical stopping machines. Last ride I was brakeless again. But something wrong happened to me, I do not like riding brakeless no more(?). Maybe this is just some frustration because of: 1) less comfort on CRAZY MUf**kA riding streets of my city scaring pedestrians and doing some big dropgaps, drops from stairs and stuff. Saying that in more adequate manner - it's not so comfy to ride urban FR. Yes I ride urban(and not only urban, local DH track is fine too) FR on my Inspired. 22-12 and let's rock! Less comfort + more fear and danger. 2) This was only 1 ride and: a) I forgot how to ride brakeless (need to remember some things). Bike from 11960g. became 10400g. I don't really like it. Bike became less inert and I need to get used to new weight. So, dear brakeless experts, advise something useful please, tell about your "phases" of "brakewith" and brakeless riding, Maybe some people switch periodically? Maybe I'll need to ride with brakes for some time and don't care about it or maybe I need to force myself for a week or two of brakeless riding to flow into it again? Brakeless FТW!
  11. Well, then I see no reason to sell a set of great brakes for a penny. I have had some hope mono minies, they was worse than BB5 so I sold them. My front BB7 feels like hydro (because of short cable without too much bends I guess), rear feels a bit worse but still pretty sharp. Linear cable does its job. One more question: Does it make sense to oil cables?
  12. BB7 can't be bad in terms of hold and bite. >didn't let it bed in This is a reason. The only cons I see is not hydro level modulation + if you want to do some triple tailwhips you can't do that without gyrorotor.
  13. What's wrong with this planet? I've bought a pair of BB7 brakes: 2x BB7 calipers 2x Adaptors for 180 rotors 2x 180 ECHO rotors 2x Avid FR5 Levers 2x ECLAT CORE Linear cables All this costs me 140 GBP. Condition is almost new(picture of front brake for example): And now I can't sell it even for 67 GBP for a whole set! Every single .... tells me that they cost 50 GBP maximum for whole set! What's wrong? They arguing that some chineese china guy made in china sells for 40GBP 2xCalipers and 2xRotors brand new on EBAY. Is it truth? BB7 really costs a penny or what? ___________________________________ The second thing to discuss: Why are everyone hates mech brakes? Everywhere you look is hydro. They prefer even shitty tektro that leaks like a ... and other cheapest hydro "brakes" that even "cannot into braking" to top level mechanics. Even in trials and street-trials there are only few riders who use mech brakes. I've used BB7 (old and new type) for a year on 3 of my bikes and I can't say nothing bad about them. They are awesome, powerful and reliable as hell. Modulation? Yes it's a bit worse but no more than that. Set and forget for years.
  14. >supplying the 'rebels' with arms USA are supplying the 'Ukrainian bastards' that does a coup d'etat with arms. So what? They organized Maydan. Isn't it obvious for you? I was on Ukraine last year(in many cities, not only Kiev), all was fine. No one was discontent with the current government. I love Ukraine, it's warm + beautiful like Russia(especially nature). Look this video and find something that should not be there. I repeat - USA is an aggressor in this situation. Aggression is against Russia. But they can suck a balls of my bear. They already failed. They want to organize maydan in Russia, but they'll have to suck my bears balls and anyway fail after that. No one can defeat Russia, it's just impossible. US people (soldiers also) are too fastidious and civilized. What about nuclear power, we are №1.
  15. I get your question. Most of people thinking what mass media told to them(who does not burden themselves with using their brains properly). There are bunch of idiots, thinking that Putin itself launched a missile into 777 for example. Pretty huge branch of western media said that. Normal people.. I'm personally don't give a single f**k about this situation. Many of people, including me, that are using they brains to analyze information are just tired of this shitstorm and stupid, crazy ultra stupid lies from mass media. They lies so stupid like 5 years old kid who says you that this is a cat who ate all the candy in the house. I'm laughing at UN and all this humanity shit, there are no humanity. Whole world can't stop this war? You believe in this? Huh, let Russian Bear to restore order on Ukraine without consequences for himself and the "war" will over in an hour. USA wants to show their power. They don't care about tons of spilled blood. Ukrainians not US citizens, Ukrainians are some useless scam for US. And they don't care how many peaceful and not very peaceful people die. People are still something from middle ages. Greedy and stupid. Briefly I would describe all this as a CIRCUS of marasmus.
  16. This is politics, you can't be 100% sure because most part of information are different varieties of lies. West countries (including EU) sucking USA balls(I LOLD so hard I even spilled my coffee when heard that Swiss banks are obliged to report to USA about account holders) . About 777 maybe it's kinda USA provocation to blame Russia. Anyway black boxes are given to Malaysia so they can do expertise. USA looking crazy stupid in this situation, starting to blame Russia instantly and without any proofs. Also logically there are no reason to do this by Russia. And also DNR and LNR have no relation to Russia, they are independent countries. At least they want to be and fighting for their independence.
  17. Journalists are the biggest bellends on the planet.
  18. Proof that Russians shot down Boeing 777
  19. Yep. And after all I want to say that joy of riding are absolutely unrelated to bike expensiveness and "coolness(hey guys I've just bought new shinEy megabike! it's so cooool)".
