  1. why are none of these new frames that have been built up using the tensile headset? they seem to just be using what looks like a bog standard onza headset. especially on a sponsored riders bike aswell whats the reason?
  2. not really sure how tubes can look to thick but im guessing and hopefully this has been achieved is that the frame design will give maximium stiffness in the frame. i like the look of it, but agree about the fork graphics
  3. dave who owns trialtech and ust to be at tarty ust to have one and liked his as far as ino. they are short but if that suits your riding then all is good
  4. mod frames arn't designed for that though because the frames are designed to be used with snail cams so the mounts are position acordingly for the brake as the wheel will have to be moved back for tension.
  5. every manufacturer produces some defective parts though hence warrenty
  6. just contact tarty and they should be able to go through the warrentie process, as im sure this will come under it.

    Freewheel

    every freewheel is hard to get off, because they screw on, everytime you kick it screws on harder and harder thats nothign to do with being a tensile
  8. sounds like you will be able to claim on a manufacturing warrenty, assuming you bought these cranks new? did the cog screw on with easy or was it stiff? edit: i ran some trialtech cranks and they where fine i think you just got a pair with a fault on them, or your doing something wrong

    to be honest thats the least impressive riding ive seen of you. i ust to love your style on the simtra and just as much on the hydroxx and the riding was always impressive. afraid i just felt you didn't get on with the bike and wern't going as big or with the same style. still better than me though
  10. i have to say i think it more important to do it how feels comfortable for each individual. but i noticed the tgs boys sidehop like that, they dont go from paralell to the wall there front is nearer and rear futher away, i guess by this they can throw there rear up to achieve a big tuck. personally i dont like that way so don't always copy unless it also suites you. like said above PRACTICE, dont beat yourself up just keep trying
  11. once you have got to a decent level of riding you will find you progress alot slower because its becoming not so much your technique but more physical. obviously it is still alot to do with technique and phycological but dont expect to progress as quickerly as you have done previously.
  12. i don't understand people, unless my eyes decieve me damon wrote he couldn't get 56' or at least would struggle. so why are people saying he could do it? rick is carrying a foot injury isn't he though, as i believe he ust to be number three in the world but at the moment isn't making the top five is he?
  13. i just put them on as they come no hair spray or anything, make sure the bars are clean and then use a compressor to blow air to inflate the grip slightly to slide them on. or put the valve from a stirip pump in the end and pump it to do the same thing, requires 2 people to do it this way. takes about a minute to do it and grips don't spin ever even in rain.
  14. how you know its not the other way around. glad to see that aran has found some riding buddies out there. and his pidgeons are disturbingly good and isn't bothered whether its a wall or rail he has some balls.
  15. they arn't spacers, the washers allow the pads to be set up sqaure to the rim. i supose they are required unless you just let your pads wear 2 an angle
  16. its a good idea the recess as one of the things i found with my vee set up is when i bought new pads i had to have my adaptors on the wide setting meaning i couldn't run my booster.
  17. the geo will be based on koxx forks more than likely as yaabaa is owned by k124

    Simps Teaser.

    sack off the mod riding and just do a video of the inspired
  19. its a good job your not a frame manufacturer. what ever frame comes out of the factory should be of a high standard weather its a proto or production frame. a proto to a crap quality is no good as the testing will be no good.
  20. in practice giaco seems to be up there with gilles and vincent or at least i though so at koxxdays but obviously he just can't pull it off in the comps. suprised kennys won one. i thought at koxx days he wasn't really in the same league anymore and instead of going for things was very conservative dabbing instead.

    Control 09

    you won lottery or something? and how long have you had that stem? i seem to remeber every fraem youve had its been that stem and onza bars
  22. you just keep putting grinds on untill when riding you get big dints and thats when you get a new rim. theres no science to it or certain amount of grinds just keep doing them till your rims f**ked.
  23. i like how you said sorry for not wearing a helmet implying some how we would suffer from it.
  24. are you off your rocker, lets face it the pads seem to be one of the best on the market acording to stan and ali. but no one is going to buy them and then buy them again afterwards, not at the price they will be. they will just buy heatsink or phatpads refills. well done youve got an amazing glueing way so you can guarrentie they won't come out and thats good to boast about but i think i speak for everyone that they know its down to them how well the refills stay in as there replacing them. theres no need for this health and safety bollocks no other company has any problems so why make a deal out of nothing. plus people who already have cnc backings are more likely to just get another refill from someone else instead of buying yours cnc pads.
