Greetings

Nice vid My advice would be to concentrate on a more relaxed style, your riding is very brutal if that's the right word.

I dare say that when it's finished, you won't be able to lift if off the ground. Get some proper parts made of ALUMINUM like real men.

219M wheels aren't bad, I think Tarty have them?

I use a 10g coin (10 grosze) it's worth about 1,66p with the current exchange rate. If anybody wants to save on removing their cranks, I'll sell you these coins for 3p each.

all trials riders

A new trials/porn vid in the making under the name of "I can't ride in clothes"? I'd buy it.

At a guess he used the dot to make the number easier to read? Get a life... Nice bike there. The rise doesn't look like +45 at all, maybe because of the cranks. Don't you find the rear end too short ? I think you'll like the Adamant frame much more, they're a bit like the Control frames but longer.

Do you actually still ride trials Mark?

Yeah it's lovely!

longer frame with higher rise or lower and longer stem works quite well!

Listened to bits of it before going to bed yesterday and I thought it was great. Going to download it and listen to the whole thing now. 41:30 - what's that? 47:00 - and that? Bloody good actually, just recorded it onto my ipod and went riding, superb job! Your best mix yet.

I do feel a bit gay reading through this thread

Tensiles. Never had cranks which lasted more than 4 months, had these for over a year now! And they're so light!

Well, in terms of geometry it's the same as every other Monty frame. I'd go for it, might not look as good as the PR but it's definitely worth the money. I think the cheapo Monty tyre is a 2.5" not 2.8". As far as weight goes, the 2.7" is 1,25kg and 2.6" Eagle Claw are bang on 1kg.

These bolts are probably heat treated to be very hard so the allen key socket lasts. If they're hard, they'll also be very brittle. They'll be ok up to a point and then probably all snap near the head. If you're doing a gap to front wheel onto something narrow you don't want that to happen. Ti bolts aren't that good either, if you have a search you'll find a post Dimitri@Tritoncycles made about them.

Well that's optimistic Nice bike mate, how do you find those pads?

You can get steel King sprockets for about 20 posted from aspirevelotech.com

Louise on a mod and it was good M525 180 on a stock and it was weak, but adequate for chill out riding Mono Trial 180 on a stock and it's stronger than the other brakes but just way too weak for front wheel moves where you need the wheel to lock instantly. Getting a BB7 soon, that should sort everything.

I don't think so Dave, the colour comes from plasma-coating which hasn't got anything to do with dye btw just got your emails about the last order... sorry for the mix-up, changed my email address

I wouldn't think getting aluminum bolts for securing a disc rotor is a good idea.

you'd probably win anyway

yeah if i can play online, haven't got an original copy :$

Yeah, you just need a booster. I'd go for Heatsink, they're really beefy and stiff but still very light.

Don't you find the stem a bit low? Nice bike! I'm thinking of getting some Pro-bolt screws for my bike as well, they're really cheap this end. I heard they snapped very easily?
