and why do you think it's important that we all know this fact?

thanks for posting the english link. i didn't look for an english one, i assumed someone would have already posted it, if there were one. mark, he definitely does mention that. not sure. but he does put a lot of emphasis on properly paying the company's athletes, so they don't have to do shows and other side jobs. and further down it does sound a little bit he wants to get a new 20"-rider on board.

here 's some info in french. the guy sounds very ambitious. he wants to have (and properly pay) crossbow-pro riders in the top10. wants to found trial-schools for kids to breed new crossbow-pros. ... the frame is supposed to be available in june, only as a kit of frame + carbon forks. by the end of the year he wants to present a full bike comprised of all crossbow parts (including brakes and tires). supposed to be all high quality parts too.

i guess 2-dimensional trials is not the safest of sports.

here's a shortish bit about the vöcklabruck contest from the tv: http://tvthek.orf.at/program/UCI-Rad-Trial-Weltcup-2015/10396320/Rad-Trial-Weltcup-2015/10389701 (nothing special and in german obviously. will only be available for a week) didn't know carthy was only 19! a third of it is about the women's comp, which is good. i watched 6 or 7 long videos about the contest, there wasn't one woman rider in it.

just saw this on OTN: http://vimeo.com/136079685

totally the same thing here. without a wall i can jump comfortably, letting go of the brake and all. next to the wall and it's gone. i think in my case part of the problem is being too close to the wall, so it gets cramped. i've now started training sidehops onto stairs. feels a bit less awkward. all i can say is that i doubled my sidehop distance lately.

i've been training as well and i think i've made big progress. not so much height-wise (don't have a good obstacle around), but distance-wise. i can do a 1m-sidehop pretty comfortably now. the trick for me was indeed keeping my back straighter and the bike more upright. now i'm jumping off at a point where before i was already feeling like i'm losing balance.

about 3.64

it's always the damn little things. so titanium? i was more thinking about something for mods, a 12 tooth (or a 10er for me), so that wouldn't be a problem i think.

you should do one that has the cog included in the right part. hub and (fixed) cog all machined out of one piece. i guess that would be superlight and rides awesome.

wtf? why is annoyed-phone-typing guy in this video too??? is this some david-lynch shit?

yes, but that's ironic / catering to the worst kind of people. while the crewkerz names seem to be just unfortunate.

yeah, i guess here (german speaking world) people would mostly associate it with mtv and/ or car tuning.

ha! true. not a fan of their design. (i do have a fourplay though... not a big fan of that name either)

why is no one complaining about atomlab btw. ? when i was looking for 24inch rims, the atomlab ones were an option. but there's no way i'm riding around on something that has "PIMP" in huge letters printed on it.

je parle seulement un petit peu de francais, mais c'est une betise, n'est pas?

pic makes me question why they aren't running inverted stems yet. ( i know it won't work with angled top, but still...)

since this thread is about, i thought it was obvious i was only talking about 110mm ones. profile make a shitload of hubs in who the hell knows how many holes versions. there also might be 36h trials rim out there somwhere. but there are hardly and i'd rathr not drop €200 on a hub with such limited options for rims.

but those aren't 110mm, are they?

profiles would be awesome, but only come in 36h and there aren't any trials rims in 32h.

bummer. i was thinking about asking to get in on the deal, because i have an unused almost brandnew hope rear too.
