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.

Data loss but could've been worse!

It's back online

Organic...less metal content in the pads designed for short braking performance.

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.

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/

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.

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

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

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

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.

Agree with Onza & JKH. One WI freewheel I had skipped twice, opened it up, cleaned up the extra grease and whatever that was inside and lubed it with Tri-Flow. Loud and no skips since. And make sure the green cover plate is secure they do often come loose (about the only problem with these FW). Other than that, the best freewheel ever.

Plenty of people have ordered including other forums, you basically get no warranty (obviously), some dings & minor cosmetic damage and bypassing the middleman. But you can also get the wrong color parts as it happened to many... You're basically paying for the parts, not service, no warranty, no guarantees. I mean look at these packaging (stolen from OTN). If you think you're getting a good deal, you're taking a chance. It may be legit, it could be third-shift products or simply dinged up components that they don't sell to dealers. I think bottom line, it's your money but there are enough information indicating you're not going to get a perfect looking frames/components and no guarantees. If something goes wrong, I'm sorry but that's your fault.

They say the newer ones are crap. Then again you can get Shimano XTR v-levers on the cheap and they are amazingly good

I don't think he was really trying really. I've seen him ride in person and he makes everything look so easy. Fast forward to 0:41 and his bunnyhop's are pretty damn smooth if you ask me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-YXIJGhaQE

You might want to bleed with mineral oil first to get some lube in. While the piston is pushed out also clean up around the piston really well and put Tri-Flow or similar thin lube around it.

Too young RIP

It's more than enough to please a crowd. Sometimes simple is good. Amazing the moves he can pull off on that bike. Great guy in person too

Not worth the hassle...you better buy a chain lock like Kryptonite that will require plasma torch to cut it off. Or something like that...

And every pad works great with tar

Which means good? No?
