  1. Also make sure you get the Bandwidth right for whatever type of brake your planning on using these with. Because brakes like the Hope Trial have a much wider one then the BB7's although the brakes will still work, if there not right they won't work aswell as they could do.

    The bandwidth is the part where the pads will hit just incase you wernt sure.

    By the pads hitting I assume you mean on the rotor, if so isnt that the contact patch/area of the pads? Ive not heard the term bandwidth used for brakes, mainly for computers and such technologies.

  2. yeah bb to ht is useful but is somewhat confusing when according to the tarty website a base is 27inch and the limey is 27.25

    i've ridden a base and its certainly not comfortable.

    also this years pure and czar has identical geometry yet different reach.

    was hoping to hear from people who had used these frames.

    Actually the pure long has 30mm bb where as the Czar long has 35. Thus making the difference. Suprising how much difference 5mm on the bb will make to the frame.

  3. For clarification.

    Desktop Drives : Your normal 3.5", 7200rpm drive in a caddy that 99% of the time requires a 12v mains power supply (provided) to power the device. Thus not being very portable.

    Laptop Drive : Your normal 2.5" 5400rpm drive that is normall found in a laptop. These get their power from the USB cable as they do not require as much power to work and thus are more portable. IE can be used on the train if your doing a 12 hour journey without needing mains power for the drive, so long as you have a laptop battery that lasts this long or a spare battery.

    Put simply, if you plan on moving it a lot might be worth going with a laptop drive, if its just a normal external to sit on your desk due to case limits (ie you cannot add another drive internally) get a desktop drive.

  4. From what I have used, the Avedis 20" ride was a bit plain didnt really have any striking characteristics so pass on that.

    The K-Custom 16" Dark crash (I think it was) was absolutly sexual, very nice, soft and erupting depending how hard you hit it, you cannot thrash it though, its good for mellow areas of songs when you want a soft crash that doesnt stand out too much to ruin the feel of the verse or whereever your using it.

    K-Custom Dry 14" hats, just oh my god, the most amazing sound ever, expensive but worth it, they really have a nice tone, they cut through everything as well, sound amazing open/slightly open, and very good closed, clean and crisp.

  5. Doesnt mean its genuine, he might have googled the answers.

    To be fair if you dont know much about bikes you would not be owning that sort of frame be it a coust or a zoo, you would have something like a mad or a t-pro then sell it as you did not want it. That bike looks too much like a normal trials bike with the front v rear mag etc, I still think its stolen. Problem is half the stolen trials bikes end up on ebay.

  6. I was taking a random guess at prices of card and cable, depending on what manufacturer you buy and where from. My card was £12 cable was like £2, but if you are in a hurry they are normally more in shops.

    I have seen a belkin firewire cable costing £25 in pc world.
