Greetings

Whoever made that video has absolutely no experience with filming documentaries. And somehow the "experts" seemed very untrustworthy.

Yeah, that's the word Rim is anodized. Kinda enjoy the look of black wheels, and since the braking power is immense I'll keep it smooth until the black film wears out.

Sounds the same then, just with a different logo. Mine also weighed 495 when it was new, now it's probably down to 430 or something Just look out for front wheel snakebites Look out for new HEN stuff, they are soon going to introduce a wide range of titanium goodies.

Yep, that's the problem... Dual discs are great on a mod since a 180mm Mono Trial will already be more powerful than any rim brake setup. On a stock though it's a bad idea

f**k me, that is so nice Need to get hold of one of these frames, by the sound of it they must be lovely to ride. Also like the idea of the very steep head tube. Strange logos on the Nobby Nic though, is it a 2008 tyre? If so, is it any different to the earlier model?

Dunno how to make this noticed, so maybe put it up somewhere in your post Prawn, but I'm happy to give away 2 pairs of Echo brake pads for 10 pounds each. If anybody wants them, please pay the money into Prawns account, let me know your address and I'll post them off. edit: pads are new of course

Same here. Maybe we've got one of these long fellows on our intestines?

Using a disc on the front which is silent. On the rear, a smooth rim with Coustsinks. The brake has a high pitch squeak which I don't like. Previous one (same setup but with a ground rim) had a low pitch squeak which was very pleasant. Somehow I love loud brakes.

At a guess Kenny is fully pro and Vince doesn't have to do anything because his dad owns Koxx?

They are hard to hit but on street. On rocks, you'll probably end up with a crooked rotor after a few rides. I had dual BB5's on my bike, the brakes are just as powerful as BB7's but they didn't work too well on the rear wheel - not because of the lack of power. The problem with Avids is that you can use the speed dial knob to make the brake more powerful, but that also makes it much more spongy. The biggest issue you will encounter is that you need to completely release the lever for the rear wheel to unlock (when the speed dial is on the maximum setting). That is not good if you are used to a Magura, in which the wheel unlocks instantly... it's actually quite dangerous especially when you're doing a front wheel gap. My advice is to get a 220mm rotor and a Mono Trial. The Hope is a spongy brake, but it's not as spongy as the BB's set to have the same locking power and therefore doesn't have the problem mentioned above. Hope that made sense...

That G-Turn pic is ace!

and maybe install ffdshow instead, it's a good codec bundle

have you tried updating your graphics card drivers and getting a newer version of divx?

That is so familiar! I often dream of doing endless manuals, it's a brilliant feeling. Makes me so pissed off when I wake up and realize I can't do them. Been practicing them on and off for years without any luck

Definitely one of my favorite riders, so smooth it's insane. He makes things look too easy edit: the frame is a NO!ZE

Better safe than sorry, keep the frame and save up for a new one.

Looks like he forgot about this topic... It's apparently better than the Maxxis CC, at least that's what Jacob tells me. Haven't got any personal experience with the EC tyre though. Gdansk - Danzig or something equally strange in English? Noth, by the sea

I respect his riding and all that but this topic has no future.

Here's a new vid from my mate, he's been working on it for almost a whole year. A brilliant compilation of unique, techy yet big moves. Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

What is the braking load of that chain?

Thread hijack of the year That was so awesome, I want to be him!

That is a tragedy. Only knew him from the forum but he seemed like such a nice bloke. I can't even begin to comprehend how his close friends let alone his family and mother must feel like. My sheer condolences... We must believe he's in a better place now. Rest in peace dude..

loads of dropgaps and sidehops... fair enough

If it's abroad, only Tartybikes.

I wonder what the ultimate compound must be like. I mean there's such a huge difference between Cousts and any other pads it's just unbelievable. So surely there must be even better compounds around which haven't been discovered..
