Greetings

I think the geometry of the Demonboy is designed to "suit" this setup. The bb is rather high and the wheelbase seems long, so do the chainstays. If you put a large wheel into a mod, the position would be all wrong.

Great vid Why no Russians? They're by far the most spectacular

Had a 180 Hope Trials on my 221Ti and it was incredibly powerful, slipped only twice. I know this is not what you're asking about but you may need some feedback on the other option as well. Go for the Hope, cable brakes are good, but hydros just have a much nicer feel in my opinion.

Wow a new, never used dog! Nice parts, remove the stickers from the frame because they look gay.

Pay for postage and I'll happily send you a 25.4->31.8mm steel sleeve. It just needs to be cut in half so you can get it around your bars. Here we go:

I think he was being sarcastic Oh and Poopie, I'll let you know well in advance :$

Very nice vid, 1st one from this rider I actually enjoyed a lot.

Mark my words. I'll officially send you a Polish Kit-Kat if you move in with her and don't manage to bang her within 1 year. There's no such thing as a very good friendship between a man and woman. Before you reach that stage you'll already be in bed with her. Just pretend you're not in the slightest interested in her. That turns every woman on. Go for it - if not for her sake, do it for the sake of a Polish Kit-Kat.

My life needs making better

For 1m - never. For 100m - probably. I can think of endless possibilities to invest that money, help people out etc. surely that's worth more than sex. That sum of money once put into a bank account will generate at least 3m annually - that's 8,2g daily. Think what can be done with that ammount of money - not in terms of buying gadgets and all that, but for other people.

Yeah, the long GU was indeed a failure. If you need a long frame, go for the Python, the cockpit is just as long, the frame also has a longer rear end which does make the bike feel more powerful and better balanced.

Try 22:20 for a day or two, this should be long enough for you to get used to it. Light gear ratios are really nice, they make body movement much easier as well as learning new moves. I rode 18:18 for a long while, it slightly lacked in power when doing hooks and large taps, now I'm on 18:17 and it's perfect.

Lovely As we're just judging the looks, black rims would look better in my opinion

Really impressive work, especially making silver parts black. That ZOO looks lovely :$

Just browsed tv.isg.si and found this vid: Zel_Extreme_2005.avi Anybody know who this guy is? He's incredibly good and that was vid is almost 2 years old. Any new ones from him?

Or call them? Surely it's the easiest way out

Yep, been running a 18T chainring and 16T rockring for over a year now. Not only has my chain lasted almost 2 years, it's in perfect order and has just the right clearance not to get damaged.

Fun to watch, but you do cut the clips too early. Loved that 180 drop off by the guy on the GU

American Dad? Pretty much the only motion picture apart from trials videos and the news that I watch. Absolutely hate full length films, they send me to sleep.

Well, if he's been looking for the vid for ages, it's been out for ages. And ages ago, Yao didn't have his own company and rode a Python. I guess you mean the video from 2004 of him riding the prototype Python? It's called ZOO Video 22 and you'll find it on eengoblabla. edit: didn't notice that you're looking for a night vid, the closest I can think of is Zhi-1 but he's not riding a Python and only 1/5th of the vid is filmed at night. Besides, that's not an old video either.

How much is a Hope Trials your end? Quite interested because I'll need one fairly soon. Our distributor doesn't deal in the Trials brakes, probably because there's no demand for them. On the other hand, you can grab a new Louise for about 60 pounds with a bit of luck. And yeah, by expensive I meant you can get quite a lot for the price of a Hope Trials, for instance the frame pictured above. My god, this has gone totally OT

Yeah, or actually making an adapter which would take a larger rotor. Not only does it reduce the stress on the frame, it would also allow for running a bigger rotor without the need to use +20/+40 adapters - these strain frames very badly due to the leverage working in the wrong direction. Meh, why companies use +0mm ones I just don't understand. Nobody's going to run a 160mm disc on the rear, and if they are, it's only going to be a Mono Trials which is incredibly expensive.

Disc mount looks dodgy! Other than that, mint

King, the one I've got now hasn't skipped badly, just when pedaling along. Got a new one a year ago for a mod and it was really bad until it bed in. Had a profile as well and it never skipped.
