Greetings

What's the gear ratio?

Looks ace. Such bikes make me so disappointed that I can't ride mods for shit

For some reason I really liked that.

Still?

I'd recommend a 138x25 Echo SL stem and Trialtech High Riser bars. Running such a setup on my Zoo (yes, it's not a 24") but the handlebars are pretty high up and you have endless possibilities when it comes to changing the angle of the bars. You can make the bike feel longer or shorter while maintaining a comfortable riding position.

I thought women were only around to make men sandwiches? edit: can't spell.

Phluid, but it's leaking out somewhere. Probably just going to put a Maggie on with Phluid.

Since I've updated this a million times, I'll do it once more: Rear wheel is dying on me which was to be expected. Changed the cranks to 160mm today to see if I can cope with that length on the current gear ratio, also back to platforms because cages sucked.

Absolutely horrific. Aside from how people in Japan are going to carry on, I wonder what the economical impact is going to be. Japan wasn't very well off and it now seems that their export is going to drop significantly because of the damage to production plants. Another rather nasty issue is insurance companies which are actually insured in case of such an event. This probably means that we'll all be paying the price for what's happened. Not that I mind, we should all pitch in and help but I'm a bit worried about what might happen. It could be a trigger of some sort, just like the LB bank collapse was in 2008.

I have an opinion on the brake It feels very responsive and very solid. It's got lots of modulation, little bite and quite a lot of hold. Actually it has much more hold than you'd expect from the way it slows you down, which is adequate. I was going to get a Hope but I'm going to stick with this brake for the time being.

The lever should be sold with both the barbed fitting and bleed screw. The reason you didn't get one is that Echo have new staff which had no idea how to pack items (meaning that among other things, brake levers were missing these bits). Had the same problem.

For me it's probably 1800km. What's yours?

Wouldn't care if this was a tutorial of how to change your pants. This is a perfect blend of music, riding, editing and camera work. And I just love the reaction of pedestrians.

Watching this vid you just cannot believe that he can ride a 24" street trials bike the way he does.

Not yet, haven't had the chance to ride properly since it bed in.

What frame?

More please.

You're missing a lot in life good sir. Get a drill and feel the thrill!

You're all wrong. Hitatchi all the way!

I've designed you a flyer:

I'm not ashamed.

Sounds a bit vague? You can ship it using a courier company. If I'm not mistaken Parcel Force will ship it for around 45 quid using the Euro48 service? You'd need to get a bike box from a local bike shop and pack your bike properly.

Dunno, just looks wrong to me, no matter how good the rider is. I like the ninja style where a small man moves super fast. Only occured to me after watching this video though.

Props for attempting that in those conditions. Shows big faith in your skills.

Yes, I used to sponsor him a few years back.
