  1. if your actually making them cranks get in touch with me, I did a similar project not so long ago and could give you some ideas for a fixture for machining.

    youll need to make midifications to allow a crank puller in there is the first thing i noticed scanning over it.

    how can I get in touch with you?

  2. Explain that to me...

    As you can see, in all those well known moves the wheel is pulling the brake out of the frame, and not pushing it into the chainstays....

    well done gaps are thought to fall using the wheel the same way (usually we fall in the border).

    Drops and other moves don't really use the brake too much.

    I think that if the rider mostly goes up (sidehops to rear wheel, tapping, bunnyhop, etc) he makes his rear wheel to pull the break out.

    If the rider dedicate his time to make huge gaps and doesn't fall in the border, and making very big drop gaps, he might be pushing the brake into the frame.

    BY THE WAY, THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES TO SET UP THE BRAKE ARE SOLVED.

    THANKS

  3. yea, it does look good but having your maggie mounts shit themselves out of the frame would be pretty shitty/fukin hurt.

    When I put them upside down, I was thinking that riding trials you, usually, us the wheel backwards... I mean, you climb something, and your brakes are "shit themselves out of the frame".

    Danny Comas told me you should put your rear MTB tires backwards when using them to trials, I thought it made sense.

  4. Dont think a 116 hub is 100g lighter than 135 ;)

    Mind you Ive saved 100g off the front hub and due to save another 200g at least off the handlebars/stem so its sub 9kg now :)

    Only problem is I pinched the rear tube (inevitable really) so theres a big heavy Dh tube in there right now :(

    I was thinking in eliminating the tensioner, and getting a lighter hub. hehehe

    DH rear tube??... I use a common one.

  5. come on!!, how could we respect ANY company if the one who's innovating is too expensive for almost all, and the one who makes them cheap is copying the other???

    The ZHIs and other Chinese brands are made for amateurs, not just "weight weening". I like them, I do not like copying, but I can not afford a Monty because they are expensive and they break easyer.

    ZHI forks are the same as ZOO, and URBAN.... PULO!

  6. you shouldn't thinking about anything other than focusing your attention on the move you are attempting to nail.

    If you don't, actually, think in the move you are going to make... It means that it is well absorved, that is natural to do it.... and when needed it is going to show up itself.

    When you are nervous you think in everything at the same time.... that's why you have to be able to do it without thinking.... in a competition, some people can't really think what they are going to do next.

    when it is something new, I think that I'm going to break my neck, that my brakes are going to fail...

    I can't do what I wrote above.

  7. with very good brakes you can make some mistakes without kill yourself.

    in taps, or sidehops to rear, you can finish hanging of a border.... ant a bad brake wont work.

    if you do big big gaps, it's easyer to do them with better brakes, I'm afraid to do gaps with my brake like shit.

  8. since I live in southamerica, and Try-All, Eno's, etc etc etc are kind of expensive here, I was wondering what you think about ACS freewheels.

    I want to put those with 36 engangement points as a FFW, so.... tell me what you think.
