    Hey who are those rim stickers made by? They look pretty sweet!

    jitsie rim decals, yep. Surprisingly really well waterproofed! My rear rim is ground so I slapped these on to make em' match

    There's been a lot of really good edits coming out lately, I thought id tack my first edit/ video I've made, that I just finished on the end :P

    I've been riding trials for about 1 and 3/4 years, I think? And all I could do on a bicycle before then was endo, so, I'm interested to hear your responses.

    If you turn it up when the music stops you can hear my freewheel break in HD! (The premonitions were right)

    I found the song on my iTunes and really liked it, knew Ive heard it before but wasn't sure where, was talking with flipp and it turns out it was one of his edits I'd heard it off D: forgive me

    Cheers

    EDIT: cameras used: gopro, iPhone 4s, iPhone 6, Nokia lumia. And then uploading it munched the quality)

  13. Echo sl freewheel suddenly gone "loose"

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    After about 1 1/2 years my echo sl has suddenly gone loose. Two days ago, I would spin the cranks and would feel a "resistance" from the ratcheting, obviously when I'm walking the bike the cranks would spin, as they should. I literally just spun the cranks just now and felt very little resistance sound is slightly higher pitched. The only reason I can think is from a drop I did yesterday, where I heard a "clunk" from the drivetrain. I'm the 6th owner of this particular freewheel and I've never serviced it since I got it 1 1/2 years ago ish. Could this be the forshadow of it's death?

  14. Pad Reviews

    One would expect that a bigger rotor performs better. It's not the pads that have increased the performance and instead of buying new rotors I would've bought different pads.

    it wasn't just "performs better" it's not something I can explain, the pads in my saints which have now replaced these only perform as well as the superstar, yet there's much more material. But when I put the saint on a 160 the performance doesn't change, but the superstar just commits suicide. The pads plus that disc just feels awesome

  16. Pedals and bash to get up stuff, poor style?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by Herbertlemon102

    Whenever I ride street with others (every Sunday, more or less) we all hate using the bash in any way, smoothness is what we're aiming for . We see the bash as more of something to protect out freewheel rather than something to be used in getting up objects.

    My bash is flimsy anyway :P

    Id say try and land on the tyre / tyres all the time but if it slips use the bash and claim it still counts ;)

    copy cat ;) really dont see the need in ice tech rotors for a mod though, especially in 203mm, my brakes work insanely well with 180mm rt66 rotors and ive only had 3 rides on them

    sorry man, couldn't not have m810s ;) why 203mm? Because reasons.

    I ran 180mm ice techs on my blade with Saints, and that was way overkill. But I liked it haha

    the stopping power is just oooffttttt

    You are my kind of man! The only reason I don't run 203s is that I don't want to invalidate the warranty on my frame. Does anybody know how much more likely you actually are to break your frame with a 203mm rotor?

    hmm the simplest answer slightly more likely than a 180, and 180 is slightly more likely than a 160. It's just the amount of leverage over the frame as the callipers distance from the frame increases. That being said, I've only seen the brakes an adapters crack, the one frame I saw crack from a 203mm was with a disc tab that was an afterthought in terms of design

    a 203 on the front of a mod? Won't that be lethal (probably overkill too), and really likely to get smashed?

    it had a 203mm on the front for 15 weeks, but I took it off and put it on the back. It's only 43mm over a 160 extra disc to hit, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen. I've found ice tech stiffer anyway, and I can't sidehop for shit.
