well, its a bmx standard

I've never noticed a difference between organic or sintered personally

? Hoping that's a typo for £300

well, technically both the HS11 and HS33 come with either 2 finger and4 finger blades, it's just that Tarty only sell one option of each as there seems to be little point stocking all of them.

lets get this straight..... new HS11 and HS33 are exactly the same other than colour, one is not stronger than the other, one is not more powerful than the other (if same lever blade is used). Brad, older 2004 levers used the same 14mm piston as the 2005 and 2011 style brakes.

good job people want different things in life then.

Czar was/is 30mm (maybe 35mm) You cant compare mod and stock bb height, it doesn't work the same.

I've used that hub, I stopped using that hub.

I'm a bit of an old school rider so I'm used to lower bb heights, but I found higher bb tends to put your weight further back which makes landing moves harder (I struggled with gaps, taps and hooks with a higher bb (40mm+) plus I can sidehop my 24" Inspired higher than I can a +70mm stock. People seem to overcome this with longer stems to get the weight forwards, but that wasn't an option for me as I never wanted to ride a bike I couldn't lift the front wheel without a pedal kick.

I just want a stress free life. I don't want to run a business, I don't want to give my life to a career. How possible this is I don't know, but that's what I want.

Vasek is one of the best riders ever, really nice guy too. vid was cool

I enjoyed that, had a nice feel to it. There is one thing I noticed you do that would be cool to "fix" for you're next video, you seem to do a large crank into most things and do a half pedal to do 180s, it would be a bit cooler if you just bunnyhopped them instead, might mean a little more speed but it tends to look a bit more fluid.

Dani is riding UCI this year which makes me very happy as he has the nicest style of any comp rider

Barspins! More please!

one name....Iolo

jealous of his barspins!

alloy nipples are great! I've used them for the past 5 years and I've never snapped or rounded one off. I have them on my inspired now and they have been on two wheels before these. I think they build a better wheel too, brass nipples don't have much give and neither do steel spokes, so any imperfections creates a lot of friction making the nipples harder to turn at high tension. Alloy nipples are softer, so they "give" to any imperfections meaning a smoother turn all the way into the tightest of tensions, I always manage to get higher spoke tensions with alloy nipples. I wouldn't bother with alloy bolts, Ti would be better. As for chains, ditch the 710, they are heavy and stretch loads. get yourself a k610, they are better designed and hardly stretch much at all so they last longer, plus they are lighter.

You're drunk! I'd much rather see riding done smoothly and controled than sketchy. Felix was/is a huge influence on my riding, he's one reason I love v brakes so much (can't beat quiet brakes). I used to watch his videos all the time!

haha they hate the lack of helmets in videos, classic pinkbike.

G-Form, I have their shin pads and I highly rate them.

I only ride street now, I think if I entered a comp I would get arm pump with it as it's not got the most hold in the world. If I were to enter comps again (or just ride natural) I'd get a rear vee without question.

using an oil bled maggie is pretty much the worst thing you could be using for getting arm pump. A water bleed will help, but it's likely you'll still get it just not as fast. If you really want it to go, consider getting different brakes. Things like that grip strengthener could actually make it worse, getting more muscle means it's more likely to compress the nerves. Arm pump is caused by the blood not getting out of the arms muscles properly causing them to swell and compress the nerves, it's not a lack of strength (in fact almost the opposite). Other than changing your brakes there area few things you can do, most have been covered in this topic but a really good thing to do is stretch really well, you could also try asprin to thin the blood a little making it easier to get out of the arms. Don't forget to drink and don't wear tight tops or gloves and keep relaxed, the more relaxed you are on the bike the better.

thanks I like Mark's section personally, flowy music goes with flowy riding.
