JT!

OK, the 'slack' you feel is the space before the leaver actually starts pushing the fluid through. So what you need to do is adjust your TPA (red dial) unil that slack is taken up. Then, if the brake is fine you're good to go, if it's still pulling too far down, you need to ajust the tpa even more, however if you adjust it too much, you get the problems with the lazy pistons you are talking about. If that is the case, unwind the tpa so the pads fully retrct back to the pistons (this is the same point when you have just taken up the 'slack' you talked about). Then, you need to undo the clamps that hold the pistons and move them closer to the rim, you need to have the pads pretty close to the rim, about a pennies width. Then, tighten up the bolts and see if that's any better. The idea of a magura is to only use the tpa to take up the slack, and then only use it a couple of twists beyond that point. If your tpa (red dial) isn't working, post back here and let us know and we can link you to a topic on how to fix that.

No. Not me anyway.

Hi JT, ok first question, did or do any of your direct family have any illnesses? Erm... MS, diabetes, cancer, heart attack, and a brain tumor. There's the door.

I think it would have helped to mention that Loris Braun is a trials rider.

I very much doubt it.

Oh yeah, all my points go out the window if your making a vid of multiple clips like that.

Rudy.

Everyone loves a good crash! And we all love it even more when it gets caught on camera and uploaded onto your local trials-forum. But what really grinds me is how people edit the footage mainly with slowmos to think they're making the clip better, I've notced this quite a bit recently so here's a bunch of videos that show how not to edit a crash.

Boffbags i was no where near!

He means that if England gets 100 guesses and the use guesses 10, someone in the usa is 10 times more likely to win.

I think they look very neat and efficient. Old school too.

That vid is missing 6-10 seconds on the end where everyone is laughing uncontrollably.

You might have to pay a little, as some kind of surcharge, but there's only one way to find out.

Sponsorship is a two way thing. Company's will only sponsor someone if they think they can get their name out there, in return they'll give them good discounts or maybe even freebies. And that's about it really.

When i said that i meant how the validation process isn't perfect, not that he wouldn't ever get validated. It's actually a good idea, members who post BS tend to get sent back to new members, or get suspended for a day. I know OTN had kiddie corner which i think is a good idea as you don't have to ban people completely, and we can still laugh and take the piss out of them.

You won't be saying that in 2 months when you're still not validated. But joking a side, the admins do keep on top of the forum and there's a good load of mods on here too.

There's a lot of guesses from the usa on OTN inc mine. (Which will definitely win because i took an average of all the other guesses).

Hummmm How are you going to keep it fair so that people don't get two guesses over the two forums?

We need a graph or at least some cood statistics. Figures for the NMpM or something like that.

There's no doubt that people have watched that video, but whether it'll actually increase the interest in trials noticeably is a different thing altogether. I bet the guy in the shop didn't actually buy a trials bike.

There been a couple in the states.

No one's going to really suggest a half link chain for trials, mainly becuase they stretch sooo much. Plus most of them are pretty weak. Why do you need a half link chain?

Yeah but becuase people are immune to it it means there's going to be a relatively fixed number of deaths per year, as opposed to swine flue which no one is immune to it so millions could die if it spreads.

Throw some water over he rotor for a start.

LMAO at the reflective bands. You should have bought £10's worth of lights and put them all on your bars.
