Greetings

I actually liked that. No pointless tucks, quite a nice gapping style as opposed to the majority of mod riders who gap sideways. Good music and editing too.

130x10 stem and some extended 221Ti bars, or Try-All Rages.

Yeah it's at least 1 year old, still a very good vid though.

It's not an obsession, I doubt more than 2% of the riders out there have a magnalium frame or would consider buying one. Innovation is a good thing. 15 years ago, people probably had the same attitude towards aluminum frames saying they're so much more expensive than steel, much weaker and only 0,5kg lighter. Throughout that period of time, the material aluminum frames are made from was developed and now it's quite rare to see a well engineered U6 frame crack. Even so, manufacturers are introducing Ultra6 Pro which is going to be even stronger. Same applies to steel, there's one being engineered that will have a higher strength to weight ratio than titanium. I can't see magnalium being different, it's a fairly new alloy comparing to the other two and I'm sure it will be improved. There are as many types of riding styles out there, as there are frames. If you're a smooth rider or a comp rider and don't mind something that flexes, you'll be well off with one of these.

I'm fat

Was recently wondering what he's up to nowadays. I remember his riding back in 2004, it was exactly the same. This video bored the shit out of me, he's got a huge potential, he's got trials skills but prefers to do wheelies all the time. Ok it's up to him what he wants to show on his vids, he's got amazing skills for his age but I'd really like to see some proper trials.

Haha cheers, i personally think JJ's was far better, it had some really nice riding and that professional touch to it.

I know this might be impossible for his little Chinese brain, but why not make a Control brake that won't leak after 2 hours of riding?

Am I right in thinking that he's converted a double wall into a single wall rim?

How can you make 3 minute video with about 8 moves in it?

Cafe Del Mar albums are best if you're looking for general chillout music. Unfortunately it's not something you can sit down and listen to, it's way too anonymous.

Don't think so. Besides, learning to sidehop to the opposite direction should take you no longer than 2-3 days. Just concentrate on that one thing and you'll get the hang of it.

This is a new brake. No wonder it leaks!

Water is one of the most incompressible fluids around, what are you talking about

Has anybody else had similar experience? Is that really the reason (can't see any logic behind it) or just a coincidence? The sponginess and poor responsiveness was probably due to it not being bled properly. A Dengura on a water bleed has a very similar feel do a disc brake lever, you can hardly feel any resistance.

I'm in! Lost the last one to JJ by 2 votes or so

Couldn't care less about the hump, the 221K is the best looking standard build ever! Beautiful bike.

Cheers I didn't know where to put it so Tom - maybe create a section for videos which don't fit anywhere else? There are a few vids on there which are kinda trials related but don't have any riding in them. For instance, in which section is the Oli Lewis video?

I think trials-uk may be the cheapest? Only discovered that site about 3 weeks ago and was really impressed with their product range - some really interesting stuff in there.

I actually enjoyed the way it was made, the idea behind it being a recording from a tape. It was fairly realistic apart from the points mentioned above but i really think they could have used something else rather than a monster. It was just a bit gay, and it looked gay. I'd have much preferred not to know what is causing all the havoc. Didn't follow the viral marketing stuff at all, saw a trailer the day before and decided with my missus to go and see it. Don't regret doing so.

Always wondered, how painful is it? Or is it one of these pains where the body actually stops you from feeling it?

Monty, Worldcat, Viz - it's the same freewheel with different colour schemes and writing

I think it must be members of my family dieing and friends getting killed. No need to go into any detail.

Natural, it's much more interesting and challenging. Only get to ride it once a year due to there being absolutely no spots nearby
