  1. Less heat input with brazing, so doesn't cause as greater affect to the grain structure in the HAZ. Also allows a bit of flexibility in the joint when compared to welding, so gives the frame a very different feel.
  2. Still a bargain, no bolts just means it's time to fit shiny Ti ones! Reckon they'd be any good on the rear of a mod?

    Films!?

    Hateful 8 was a typical Taratino film and i loved it. Really enjoyed Straight Outta Compton, but then I have far more N.W.A. albums than I should. Finally got around to watching The Force Awakens and squealed like an excited small child more times than I care to admit. Really enjoyed it, seemed to have a bit of grit and rawness that was missing from the previous 3 films. Went to the cinema to watch Deadpool, first time i've been in years, was so so good! Can see it being a film i'll watch repeatedly. Looking forward to the X-rated directors cut
  4. I imagine that as this is a prototype they are testing functionality and reliability at the present, once that is sorted aesthetics and weight will probably tackled. Be nice to have a solidly made, reliable, user serviceable brake set up; with all part available aftermarket. Probably won’t cost anymore than the Racing Line kit either.
  5. Done it plenty of time with rabbits that have hopped into garden with myxy, so blind you can walk up to them, kindest thing to.
  6. Monty are a bit backwards though, probably why they still use big flat plate type drop outs on all their aluminium frames. The new Monty 219 proto is a bit better than the rest, but still hardly up to date compared to other manufacturers' frames:
  7. New graphics and the minor updates have really improved the look of this bike. Really like it.
  8. Talking about a 4G dongle which has a sim card inside? If so it's entirely dependant on network coverage. But 4G and HSDPA+ should be fine for streaming.
  9. Mainly because lots of people called out for V brake mounts on frames, a few manufacturers obliged and very few people took them up. The hold on a vee is incredible, but the vagueness when it comes to instant bite put me off. I think that's why you don't see many people using them on "proper" trials bikes. Bike looks smart though
  10. Fairly certain that MHz only came with vee/canti posts, never with a disc. The GHz came with 4 bolt magura mounts. I'd try and find a set of Pashley forks or something similar. For some reason I never thought alu forks on a steel frame looked right.
  11. It was a bit stupid of stupid question. Tarty build custom spec bikes, so of course they can build a 20" with the equivalent spec.... But if you knew how to use google you would have been able to find that out for yourself....
  12. It would be their ability to survive heavy repeated impacts on sharp rocks etc. I've read a few stories about carbon wheels 'exploding' on DH bikes.
  13. Like Rich, I think Josh has always been that way inclined. Personally I don't understand the fascination.
  14. Aye we do like our climbing, not going to lie about that. It's only that odd Pearson chap that likes his skippingslackropelining thing. Marvellous Dave. I won't be the only balding over grown man jumping up walls on a kids bike in Plymouth anymore
  15. Yay, Dave's back You coming to play on your kids bike too? I ride every now and again, injuries and other things in my life haven't left me a lot of time for riding bikes. The riding scene here in Southwest has died a slow death, when I started 10 years ago there were lots more riders around. It just seems like there aren't any younger kids starting riding trials.
  16. Dude, i'm not just here to dig through emails on a friday afternoon and tell you where you're supposed to be working, talk and a pint are required when you're back.

  18. I couldn't believe it, was like reading a Car Throttle thread on facebook! He does realise it's a public forum and he's putting off potential customers by acting so childish? Or does he just not care as he's busy enough as he is?
  19. That intake pipe thread on ASN @george_seamons Slight over reaction on Bills part?!
  20. Nope, nothing there for me.
  21. Crown race obviously has to match the angle of the bearing race on the lower bearing. If the lower bearing race angle matches then you're all good.
  22. I loved my Alfas, and the 2.0 T-Spark in my 145 cloverleaf was awesome. As you probably know it's all about the cambelt, tensioners, variator and cambelt. And check the belt again. Apart from that they don't really need any more love than any other car.
