Thanks for that tutorial vid! Woah, this brake is a lot simpler than I ever thought, even more so than my super old BB5 on my stock...!
Just need to ask you disc technies out there
...I'm building a bike up in China so I can ride with my friends there, if my first 2 options fail, I'm going for a DD mod. Thing is, all hydro brakes are imports from the West, so the price is ridiculously high in China, so I have to go for a BB7 to keep price down.
Will having 180mm BB7s on the front and back be far too powerful for just a double-disc mod? Seeing as people say the 160mm is horrendously powerful enough already. I'd rather not the extra unnecessary power if a 160mm is already powerful enough, since bigger rotors kill forks and frames fastish.
No it won't be overally powerful. People have found with bb7s that if they use a 160 on the rear the power isn't surficent and you need a 185.

Was it difficult to get permission? Any idea of the cost?
Have no idea, i just so it when going past on motoway one time.Not sure if it was the locals who got it or weather local council colne did it as there fed up of trials riders. As for cost dont no that either but i doubt it was much as i think most of the stone was taken from some sort of building that must have been dimolished and the other stones cant have been much.
The only shit thing about it all it they have used gravel on floor so it means on every run up you have to clear the gravel away.
the dirt jumps are really crap.

Theres no point in drilling the frame, you save very little weight really. The best way to loose weight is to change parts you will loose alot more weight that way and will start to feel the difference. People who are drilling and cutting there frame usually have the lightest spec and the frame is just to loose a few extra grams to get it real light.

neil hooked a 3inch metal fence for f**k sake, he has proved he can do it,... isnt that good enough for you?
awesome video, these big street videos are getting better and better.
keep it up..
You talking about one of his previous videos? well there was alot of controversy about that move actually and it not being how it looked and even believe it was proved not to be as wide as he made out.
Anyway im not arsed im entitled to my opinion, hes a good rider and im not disputeing that. Just theres been a few moves in his videos that have looked iffy and angles havn't helped especially cutting out kickers.
If you post a video on a public forum you get good and bad responses you cant expect them to be all bum licking good.
-
Remember seeing you year or 2 ago in a video or 2. Great riding would love to see a new video from you.
-
if your comeing up here you have to ride blackburn it fecking sexual to ride, even the tartys thought it was worthly to take hermance there for a ride. Got a good mix of all different riding even with a great stretch of rocks just outside the centre.
-
Well we got this built a few months back. Pics arn't great sorry but i wanted to ride. The stuff isn't huge but we have managed to find some sweet gaps and other lines.
-
Its hard enough to design and get one brake to be sucessfull nevermind 2. Not really convinced by there products at all and i sharn't be purchaseing. I just dont think enough design is put into the products such as releaseing pictures of the booster which clearly wasnt fitting right, and also that should of been thought of and designed around. If these turn out to be great i take it back thoug and my view will change.

You can see Neils front wheel disappearing behind the wood fence while hooking and there is a normal bench on the other side so it really is that skinny..
Im sorry but i just don't believe it and the hook wouldn't look the way it did if it was that thin his front wheel you would see go behind the fence alot as it lands on top. Anyway thats just what i think and dont want to start an arguement you believe what you want, but i think a few better angles would be better especially on a move such as that when hooking something that thin is thought of as being near implausable.

If Titec handlebars are anything to go by I'd be very slow to use their stems. I snapped a set of hell bent DH bars in abut 6 months of trials use (They gave no warning either), other people I know have had Titec stuff break on them very prematurely too, so the handlebars are the first and last Titec parts that will ever appear on my bikes... The items linked are XC stems, so probably built to an even lower strength than the DH stuff they make...
Here's what I'd buy (Within your budget constraints): http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5525 - though it may only be the 120mm one that has the right clamp size
.They are faily light weight stems and i doubt they will stand up to continuous tgs drop gaps every ride. But ive owned 2 of the stems and im a fairly good rider and they held up fine and would use one again so i would say they are totoally fine unless your riding like damon/neil ect. Also ali c used one fine for quite a while i believe.
-
I dont think they will because of the spline like stated. The tensile bashring will fit on other cranks but is the only bash ring that can be used on muscle man cranks. Just cut up a tensile one.
-
Something with a decent rise and lenght, trialtech with stackers would be ideal proberly because you will get the height to counter the bb rise but not to overally long to make the bike feel like its the lenght of a lorry. Or theres also echo 130x15, tryall 125x20 (ish), tms stem (cant remeber but its high and long i think.
Just sift through tarty looking at the stems with geo similar to the ones there and choose one you like.
-
to be fair if i wasnt bothered about her and didnt love her. I wouldnt give a shit about any of this lol but clearly i do
Why don't you just give her a good telling, say how you feel she is being selfish as you cant ever talk about your problems but its fine for her to talk about hers. And say that you fell your drifting apart as shes not putting much effort into you too as she doesnt even have the desencey to reply to your texts sometimes. It makes some girls wake up and relise how there being, worth a try.

really mint stems, the geo is really sweet on them. And you cant go wrong for the price.

Dont use a king cog and use a wide based one like the bt one which i think is the widest on the market at the moment; and digging in shouldnt be much of a problem then.

ewww sorry dont like

can remember them riding days not many people ride anymore. Not sure if im in this video or not from my mod days.

Have a look round some BMX shops. You can get platform pedals with studs mouled into them, so theres no hasstle with pins coming out. I run them on my BMX and they are awesome.
Thanks mate, been looking for something like that on chainreaction but not found anything
-
I knew people would say v8's and there exactly the pedals im avoiding because of pins ripping out.
-
I could search as ino topics like this have been asked but the answer won't be there.
Im coeming up to needing some new ones soon. Lately ive been using caged pedals as there cheap and grippy but do go blunt and bent. I changed to them because im fed up of pins ripping out of platform pedals, every ride you would rip another one out. Now im getting fed up of having to buy new caged ones every few months.
Does anyone no off any platform pedals that are decent with good grip and im not going to loose pins all the time. or should i just stick to caged.
-
Well theres the new slick ones as used by stan shaw, he says there good on street in dry.
I think also there may be another new tyre comeing out though. With more of a chocolate bar tread not the conventional diagonals and stuff. In the recent video of vince practicing you can see the front tyre for a momment.

Someone with good taste and has got the maggie version at last.

As for monty stems... Why would you run a monty stem when you can run a trialtech stem?
I would also have the same issue with my Try-All stem sadly though, and with the geo being 125 x 25 which is bang on the mark for the frame, I'm screwed. Simply because theres nothing else around with geo like that and a normal top-cap. Plus, these forks I suspect have the standard 45mm rake. This is totally fine, and totally sensible on Dave's part. However, because koxx are cockxx, to make my bike feel nice - I have to use koxx forks with 35mm rake, otherwise I'd be stuck with a mong headangle.
Edit: Oh, and I predict £140.
You can use a tryall stem on them waddy did it with his viz forks.
You take the threaded top cap thing and cut off the top (the top cap bit of it at the top of the threads) this leaves just the threads and its hollow aswell. You then find a right size nut and press or hammer it into the centre as its hollow. Then thread it into the forks and fit the stem and use the tryall top cap with a bolt to fit the nut.

Tensiles are great for the price, but i cracked the outer on mine after about 5months riding. Im using a monty freewheel at the moment and they seem good. Its only skipped the odd time. But id proberly say eno is the proberly the best.
Cutting Tyres?

about 40/50grams is saved per tyre. Adam @ tarts believe that it improves grip when on the edge of a object. Im guessing the idea behind it is that the knobble are able to move and be more supple so can grip better.
