So after a bit of deliberation between frames and financial commitments I ended up powder coating my current frame with a change of graphics too. I'm totally aware that theres loads of headset spacers but I have issues with my back so went for a comfy approach. Comments welcome but I know you guys would of seen a few zoots on here before! Cheers guys!

I remember learning this on a stock when I was a kid. It felt brutal to do but felt next level managing to pull it off! Thats a class video!

Where about's in the north are you ? I'm heading to tarty days also but i'll have a mate and a car full. I wouldn't worry if you're driving down alone....even if didn't have someone with me I'd still drive down there

I'm only in my mid 30''s and now conform to as many headset spacers and highest bars possible. I've got buggered discs though. The older to get you just ride however you want and take a more chilled mindset with it. When I was younger I used to push really hard and religiously ride comp style stuff. Now I'm happy popping a manual or gap or 2. It's just nice being out. Enjoy it dude!

Yeah there's a few places to ride and a few riders too. Jo Prattley and Adam Baxter to name a couple of riders there. I'm based in Newcastle so not too far away either.

I watched the trailer last night while I was on nightshift and i'm blown away by how good it looks. Looking forward to seeing it!

Weighs about 9.5kg.

I remember your anodised Czar you customised. That was pimp and a good example of running hoses through frames!

Note to self.....eyes tested!

Christ, your eyesight is epic! I didn't notice that when I was watching it.

Enjoyed this loads. One thing thats becoming obvious is how they are improving all the time which is always good. Every street rider brings something different to the table and I'll happily watch some one bitch crank their way across some obstacles if the riding is like that or not. As Flip says.....we're trials riders. Also @Mark W I think Manifesto is the name of Ali's cat....Ryan asked permission to use that name too....probably.

Bloody brilliant!

I saw this the other day. Tartybikes shared it on FB. Really enjoyable!

Sick of this guy. I'd find his riding so much more entertaining if he just rode a trials bike.

I've just came back after a couple of years and I think with age comes the ability to not give a s**t about how I ride, what I ride and what I ride my bike on. You've had a quite a hiatus and I think you'l come back to it and completely buzz off it to be fair. Get yourself back on it Kenny!

Jitsie are good but I've not tried the 135 stuff yet. The only down side I found with the Jitsie was the drag, Initially it felt obvious but you get used to it only noticable when just rolling around. The tech nowadays is nuts, I'm sure you can hardly go wrong.

I get this too. Usually my ring finger. I changed to some ESI grips which reduced the issues. I still have the pain but it's slightly tolerable. If I'm on my AM bike it's horrid after a long descent.

I'm in this exact boat. I'm 35 and have ridden for over a decade. I started on stock then moved to mod. Rode mod better than stock but my back gave out. Now i'm really struggling with deciding to move back to stock or get something like a Marino or different 24" secondhand. I always rode natural and really enjoyed it due to my local spot being quite good but 24" just seems more chilled and easy going. Really torn at the moment so completely understand where you're coming from.

Or would 110 hub spacing cure it instead.

Really enjoyed this. Great style too. Looking forward to the next one!

How does the hub fare for trials use? Seems to have plenty engagement points.

I like it!
