  1. To do it the right way, you'll need: Table vise Hammer 14 gauge spoke with nipple threaded upside down Lube of some kind Piece of wood block 1. Take the piece of block, drill a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the hose. Cut the block in half so you now have a clamping device for the hose 2. Clamp the hose with 1" or so exposed at the top 3. Take the 14 gauge spoke, cut to 4" or so and thread the nipple upside down 4. Lube the tip of the barbed fitting 5. Insert the spoke with the nipple through the barbed fitting so now you have the upside down nipple sitting on top of the barbed fitting (threaded side) 6. Gently tap the head (nipple) and keeping the spoke/barbed fitting/hose straight Now you 'can' do this without the table vise and the piece of block, the spoke/nipple method will keep the barbed fitting fairly straight. Just make sure to lube and tap slowly.
  2. Data loss but could've been worse!
  3. Organic...less metal content in the pads designed for short braking performance.
  4. It won't be but it may be a good thing on a positive note to get local/regional riders in one area for now considering how spread out trials is in the US.
  5. There are new regional forums already starting up, I'm sure more will pop up...it's a good thing especially to unite riders locally. http://www.southwestbiketrials.com/index.php http://northwesttrials.net/
  6. Sintered is usually for high speed/DH application, for trials you'll want to stick with regular/organic that has less metal in the pads.

    Still, at that height he could've killed himself if he had landed wrong. There's always a possibility. It'd be like hitting a concrete at that height.
  8. It IS the idea I used to ride them that way during very cold winter. It does get sweaty though really quick but at least it'll keep you hands warm. For feet you can use thicker plastic bag, the bag from loaf of bread does wonders

  10. Should be quick. Call or email them, they usually return emails within a day. Great guys, met them at their office once.

    Quick note on LGM's, the loudest pads and the grip is just amazing even with dull/dead grind. I tried not to brake so much in downtown at night as it's really 'that' loud
  12. 18 PSI with Conti DK. Before around 24 PSI with Minion DHR's. I weigh around 95kg and DK feels realllly good Front, I think around 24 PSI with Try-All
  13. You're going to lose some grip no matter what with rain, just have to add a fresh grind for more friction and decent pads. No such thing as 'the best pads in the wet'.

    I'll take this as a sign and replace my chain...I think it's been few months.
