Be nice to see him up to speed and making a new video again soon

Yeah its designed to run with a cog that has the teeth central to the base, think the Echo TR cog is like this as is the Try-all

Looks really nice, love the orange

Excellent!

You seem to know something about everything so why bother asking?

Ok so you're saying you had a faulty brake from the start? Then you water bled it to invalidate your warranty? And then came on here to moan about it? Nice one. They're known to have flaws from the start and some leak, so that would have put me off, but to then mess around and bleed it with a fluid that would invalidate your warranty and then moan about it on a public forum to remove all hope of that cause is a bit daft really. Don't think they need boycotting as some seem to work fine, it's an educated risk.

May try and get along if i can share lifts with someone, the 24" will be out, mainly because it has a seat

Meh, was OK, some bits were nice and smooth and some big moves, but might as well have been on a stock.

If its the standard plastic red TPA the they are renowned for stripping the threads, get yourself a metal CNC TPA and you'll be sorted

If you've got lots of random clamps, i think you can achieve the same thing by running bottom clamps top and bottom?

We also earn a lot more over here.... swings and roundabouts.

I like them, simple but well thought out

I've ridden a 320 a hell of a lot more than I have a Manus but I found both to be awesome. Personally I would go for a 320, but that's just me; tough downtubes, love the tensioning system (the same as on my Limey 3) and look nice too.

Haven't they had a version of this out before that was slightly chunkier?

Hey watch it, that mix is amazing, gotta love a bit of Cragga! You have improved loads Jack, the 'test' bit was a little poor, but you made that clear from the start. Shame i just got a set of Rock blues, intrigued by these TNN pads.

OK mate, we'll I've got a mate who works for VW so I'll see what he can do, but if not i'll be in touch. You recommend using primer too? I'm guessing one can was enough for your frame?

Dammit so it's not going to be an off the shelf colour then don't fancy mixing me a can or two and I'll pay you for it?

Did you just buy it from a shop then? Looks sick, think I'll do my 24" that colour for sure now

Exactly, I mean hell I don't find seatbelts the comfiest thing in the world, but you would never catch me driving without one!

I think if Dartmoor was a viable venue there would be a round down here, but I can imagine it hard to find a suitable venue. Essex is only 30 miles closer to me than Addingham, both being over 200 miles away.l

I find them annoying too, I doubt anyone would find it more comfortable with a helmet; but surely the benefits of wearing one and the risk of not make the choice fairly simple at the sacrifice of some comfort?

Surely you're better off at buying a frame that already has bash plate mounts? Even if you could weld the mounts on and get it heat treated back to standard, the frame itself isn't designed to have stress and impacts put through that part of the frame. In short, don't do it!

Well yes, the argument is that someone that takes all reasonably practicable steps to protect themselves, in this case wears a helmet, should be entitled to free medical care. If you can't be bothered to take those precautions and you receive an injury directly related to this then you are at fault. A helmet isn't designed to protect someone from breaking their spine so hardly a valid argument.

Tempted to do something like that for my 24", all black components and a nice bright coloured frame
