  6. Website Idea.

    Site intergration wouldn't be too hard, basically the user has to find their long/lat from some other website and then you have a custom field here where they can enter it into their profile. Then, you create a module within the forum and paste all the google stuff into it, and feed it all the user information.

    All heard of Google Maps?

    Well you can create your own, and put your own points on them, so this site could have a map with locations of all it's members :$. You wouldn't want the locations too accurate, just enough so someone can tell if there's someone else nearby, or whatever. Considering that bike trials is a relatively small sport and tight community I thought it might be a cool idea. I put together a small demo, just shows the basic idea, it's here. Click the dots!

    Pretty easy to put together, I can lend a hand if needs be. Anyone like the idea?

  13. New Idea For 2 Bolt Magura Setup

    That's basicly what the new evo mounts do isn't it?

    Ah. I wondered about that last night, but couldn't find a good picture to show there weren't elbows and eventually came to the conclusion that there were :)

    Still, above diagram is a slightly different setup...

    edit: On closer inspection, no it isn't.

    Thwarted within a minute!

  14. New Idea For 2 Bolt Magura Setup

    With 4 bolt maguras, the boosters cover all 4 bolts. With 2 bolt, the boosters only cover the top 2, and instead of having the top 2 bolting into the frame, you have some these 'elbows' which provide support by pushing against the insides of the frame.

    What I wonder is, why bother with these? Why not have, on a 2 bolt magura setup, no elbows, but a booster that covers all 4 holes? That way you are completely delegating the pressure to the booster, almost.

    Is this what the evo mounts do? :) The only problem that I can see is you'd have to take the whole thing apart to get your wheel off, unless you deflated the tire, which would be a pain, as it'd probably be hard to set up. But in conjunction with some custom clamps, maybe this wouldn't be a problem.

    Anyone understand what I just wrote? Thoughts?

    edit, crude mspaint diagram:

    This is a front view, slave cylinder clamps directly into booster with a clamp holding it on. Top bolts attatch to clamp only, bottom bolts also go into frame.
