It has a name, can't remember it. I was out in my local park today, riding this machined rock that was perfect cube-shaped. When on top of it, it's slightly shorter than the wheel base, so the edges of the rock are pinching the tyres about 3 inches inwards from both ends of the wheel base (the center of both wheels). When trying to go from that position straight to rear wheel, the bike fell backwards from underneath me as I kicked the pedals, resulting in some shiny new scratches to forks, cranks, legs and soul. What is the move that gets from that pinched position straight to rear wheel called, and how do you do it? This photo of me describes the position of the wheels better

I attempted to learn bunnys and manuals... trim.3079596B-C99D-4C06-9A4B-185E140E63DA.MOV

Mine did this. Put the correct adapter on , new pads, fresh bleed, perfect. Not sure which if the fixes actually solved the problem, but it's not dramatic effort to do all of them anyway. Usually factory bleeds are quite bad?

now I want a KFC, damn you

that's fair enough, I shall take heed that advice, i was just wondering whether it was personal preference or whether the angle actually affects riding in a negative way, cheers

I've run your standard angle, in line with the stem, since I started. Feels fine, good for everything. Fancied a change, rolled my bars to a flipp angle (they're Tt highrise) and honestly, they felt better, and I could do just as well as I could normally with them at that angle. I'm not great at sidehops imo, would the angle effect my progress, or is it just a matter of getting used to it?

I'm in West Midlands! Leamington spa actually

the only reason I run a racingline is because I got it brand new for just over £70, it's nicely made, looks great, and has gallons if power. I would never buy one new though. Not worth it.

My onza limey 320- finally after ages almost exactly how I want it-built from frame up. I'm waiting on a new tr hub with to sprocket to put my matching tryall rim on it, so the rear wheel is temporary. Spec: Onza limey 320 Echo sl forks Tryall 3D forged stem TT high risers Shimano br-m395 front disc, ice tech rotor Racing line rear with red ano boltage Heatsink yellows Tryall hole laced to a tryall "h" hub with tryall stiky tyre front Onza laced to onza with tryall stiky (temporary) Onza cranks, tryall pedals Echo sl ffw Onza bash-- I have a jafbikes half ring im was going to put on but I bash the shit out of this one so I think it's be a waste to kill a nice bashring so soon. SARS headset (great find!) Pieces of foam with tape wrapped around bit of it for grips. Shimano bb, need a new and better one but does the job Rides great

One one hand, the ground rims on a disc look out of place, on the other hand- well, that hand is busy down me trousers

aye it matches my personality

Pad: heatsink yellows Time used on current rim: about a month Grind: yes, harsh Rim:onza Brake: 2002 magura Review: fap 9/10 unbelievably good

Ahah the fact I found a tryall snail can on my workspace while trying to find glue for my model shows how much space I have....

My setup definitely is not as good yes there's a cheeky Jaf bash chillin

I'm loving the creatures- any weathering tips, I know very little, did the brown in the way id imagine dirt to travel on a car, windshield obviously no dirt where the wiper goes. Oil streaks the same, dry brushing. Little specs were done by "flicking" the brush off the side of the paint pot, creating the dots. Probably has a name. Scratches were done by painting the body silver, then yellow, then swiping very coarse sandpaper along it to rub away the yellow and crest the scratching (yes I know the f40 is carbon so there'd be no metal but artistic liscense bro)

damn... Should've got one off eBay cheap! Aha

my compressed for my airbrush died on the spot

Made a model for the first time in years today- Tamiya Ferrari f40. Some slight paint inconsistencies on the exterior, so I thought, f**k it; the cars going to be a wreck. Used brown and black on a dry brush to create the streaks. Also used some pliars on the wing to complete the look. Anyone else got any scale models from their youth/ now? I forgot how entertaining it is.

this. I honestly do t see the point of making a frame that won't fit their own parts- surely you'd make it so it only fitted onza hubs, so you have to come back to onza to replace the hub, therefore making them more money etc

For me, opening exam results and discovering that I've done seriously well is hard to par- and when a shipment of new bike parts arrives <3

Rotor installed. Bedded very quickly- oddly enough, felt an obvious power difference- the bite is pretty damn good. Holds nicely- then again my old rotor had more problems than me ex girlfriend, so it could just be normal performance, but in comparison to my other rotor it feels much nicer.

well it was going for 20 and if you've met my current front rotor, a piece of ham would be an improvement over that thing. To fronts and stuff ain't my thing, but I can still do them. And I like the way they look. Each to his own I guess
