Exactly...

Mark you really do seem to hate trials and all about it now, bugger off our forum I don't really get whats so special/different about those Mike Pepperami (or whatever his name is ) videos... just seems like a nice camera (£900s worth), some sunny weather and a tune that if you used it on a trials video you would get called a fag? (Which I agree works much better than screamy shite)

Which one's that one? Cheers. Edit: found it now!

Money. Trials simply can't afford to spend £1k, £2k (? I have no idea how much really, but given the amount 'pros' charge for just editing a few photos it's gotta be high) or more to get a 'pro' video made. I think there's a few things that make all these BMX videos seem much better too: - Expensive camera (wide screen HD with focal depth adjustment etc - Ok, you have to know how to use it, but it just makes the video look more pro instantly. Think bog standard digital camera Vs DSLR... which comes back to money again). - Rolling moves - always more interesting to watch... but even if these are filmed nicely with a 'standard' camera, the detail and interest is lost. - And a personal one: time. I would be more than up for investing in a posh camera and a new PC just to edit some decent videos, but I simply don't have the time to get to rides, rip footage and edit it. However, I assume all trials businesses are like this... which again comes back to money, if you can afford to pay someone to do it then you can't afford to do it yourself either. Edit: Just realised none of that makes much sense oops.

I dunno... rims 150g a pair lighter, pedals 150g lighter, stem 50g+ lighter, frame 150g lighter, no bashplate (~140g)... thats a lot of weight off!

Sounds bob on to me

Well he gets paid to do so... I am sure he would wear 'pixie boots' instead if he didn't!

Thomas Oehler: Funny-eyed guy from Lynx advert: I'll get Thomas to try and replicate the advert while he's over here next week haha

Oh yeah, of course... I think it does a good job in that respect, I heard it was shown on TV too?

Alrighty, cheers! Maybe online stores are OK to go on the list providing they do have the facility for potential customers to go and see a bike/parts?

Thanks for posting it up Wes! For me, there was too much intro, too much filler, boring samey music and too much annoying sideways arty camera... argh! Amazing quality though and some really good filming. Kept watching waiting for something good to happen... haha. Come on your house and ski's crash was NASTY!!

Still at least one update missing :wink2: (Although I do understand if you want to keep primarily online stores off the dealers list)

I'll post pics and info as soon as they are ready for public viewing... there are a few other tweaks from the previous frame and some sweet new graphics too Release date isn't decided just yet. Cheers Adam

Awesome riding spots, brilliant riding, great vid!! Makes me want a 26" again :$

Yes.

Nothing at all wrong with alloy nipples, as Ali said, bit of lube, decent spoke key and some care is all that's needed. CX-Rays are great spokes but hellishly expensive and relatively flexy.

New bike for Mr Felton... No King hubs or headset haha Few little tweaks from standard, Meta headset, Trialtech foam grips, Trialtech Magnesium pedals. Grind to be done when he gets it back home Ads

Goooooo Shanaze!!

Where on earth did you hear that?

Is it trendy to say +1?

Oh yeah, an M6 bolt in a stem is asking for death, but a beasty 10mm diameter one should be fine I reckon (and has proved to be fine on all the Echo etc hubs, even on the rear).

Yeah that's what I reckon too... Martin says thanks for the comments

Cheers Rob... Dammit, knew I had the name wrong, sorry!
