    Some very nice lines there 

    also the clip with the bench against the wall was that gorleston?

    That was indeed! Im surprised you know it :P

    That was some serious BC action at 17secs :D:P 

    Jealous of how light your bike looks to ride.

    Even though thin wall wasn't actually thin, I went into BC and don't die mode :P at 7.8kg with the thicker tube in it is ridiculous.

  4. brakeless video. Little bit more I wanted but I cracked that frame on the last ride and I'd rather it was all on the same one, just means my next One will be better! Hope you like.

    thanks Flipp and pogo for putting up with me behind the lens.

  5. The moves were good, the video was good, and I'm not denying he has buckets of talent but every time he drops his front wheel on any trick so he's just rolling, you can see it squirrelling about, not from lack of balance but that ridiculous bar angle. That put me off a little bit.

  6. I work in my local bike shop, and we have a large selection of uvex helmets. Half mtb, half roadie so may not be what you're after but the size adjustment on most of them extends to the side, controlled by a knob at the back. (Usually me :P) so an adjustment wheel that pulls both sides in which consequently pulls the back in as well. They do have a bigger range online too. How far around the side of the helmet the adjustment extends varies, but it's usually focused a little bit towards the rear, so like you said only thing to do is try a bunch on...

  7. Mr. Leigh came up and we had a blast riding. There's a lot we didn't film that we should've- and some of the very few good clips of me I've kept as my other video needs them (desperately) nonetheless, a great time, hope you enjoy. I need to get used to my new camera.

    @Herbertlemon102 So in the photo above you have (from left to right):

    Crankarm/silver (Trialtech Ti?) bash/gold spacer/sprocket/bb cup/another bash (acting as a bb spacer?)/ the BB shell.

    And you have done this because you cannot move the chainline towards the seatstay (or away from the spokes is you prefer) because of the cutdown driver, correct?

    Have you tried removing both the gold and the black BB bash? So It would go

    Crankarm/silver bash/sprocket/bb cup/bb shell   a more conventional arrangement

    I don't mean to be a dick but this seems the most obvious setup, enlighten me if I've missed something by all means :-]

    Also why do you have to run a 128mm BB anyway, you don't need the extra clearance cos you've no FFW so you can use a 118mm isis BB from a MTB (what i've done on my mod pro2 setup) or a 122.5 try-all/reset or a 124mm like the FSA platinum out of a Monty M5.

    That bash was there before the one on the cranks was, but yeah essentially a spacer. Remove it and the opposing bb cup doesn't screw in anywhere near enough to be called safe haha. From the Bb itself, I'm a bit OCD and in terms of actual Bbs this one is pretty much unbeatable, so I don't want anything else. I can live with the chainline I just wanted to know if I could make it any better :P 

    edit: ive also had two 118mm bbs and broken both in a short period of time, one was a reset. :(

    It's not so much that the warranty is void, it's more of a "The threads are very likely to eat shit if you do this, so how about you don't" kind of warning :P  

    How 'out' is your chainline?  They can generally be pretty way out and it shouldn't be much of an issue.  Also, are you on a 3/32" or 1/8" chain?  The extra sideways movement on your freewheel and sprocket from a 1/8" chain might help out a little.

    That's what I was worried about. And quite a long way out, kmc z510 (not too far out with the current spacing, but use any less spacers on the cranks ands it's pretty horrendous, funny how so little has such an effect)

  10. Hey all, need some reassurance here. since I run a 110mm hope pro2 evo ss (40t, wahey!) because of that unique setup to get my chainline anywhere near acceptable with an 128mm bb, I have to put a few spacers on the cranks. (No, I can't move the rear sprocket, just fyi.) to get the chainline within any reason, the amount of spacers required on the cranks means I have just over 6mm of thread available for the sprocket. The warranty on the cranks is void of you use any less than 7mm, I'm not bothered about void warranty but from any experience, will this cause a problem? I'm light so I dont think it will, and I'm hoping that warranty info is just to stop people using stupid figures like 3 mil of thread. The setup is: 

    Tt sl cranks

    Tt sl bash

    tt sprocket 

    Tt sl bb.

    and here's a picture.

  12. Happy new year- ive travelled across the country a lot this year riding bikes, met loads of great people, for the most part all were generous and put up with the constant drone of words spewing from my mouth. 

    So- I thought it would be good to give someone a cool New Years gift. 

    So, heres a little selection of parts..

    trialtech 150x35 stem

    brand new magura to V adapters

    hope top cap

    just throw a comment with your personal favourite bike youve  owned. (Random selection, as per, at the end of the 1st of jan) 

    (ps- Id rather UK only, but I'll try my best if the winner is overseas.)
