I've not touched ProE for a while but Inventor would take of the wires with a 3D sketch. Series of paired points as paths, sketch the wire dia and loft?

Awesome stuff Rowan, I liked that a lot. I ride most of those spots and even if I could ride like that i'd never think of putting those lines together.

Found a couple of images when I used to design underground coal mining equipment. Inventor is the weapon of choice but have about 8 years of ProE under my belt as well.

It would also be interesting for people to see the difference in areas of stress for a straight laced build.

I had the same problem going from Brisa bars (28.6) to oversize stem (31.8). I had a local guy machine a tube up which I then cut a single split in to allow clamping. Works a treat.

Agreed. I'd be in if i had a goal. That 44 looks amazing.

Nice shots Joe.

Like you'd swap a frame for a rim - grow up.

Cheers for all the replies and suggestions. For now i'm going to drill and tap the V8's out to M5 and screw bigger pins in, making them deeper and sit a bit more flush. If that doesnt slow the ripping out rate i'll look again at alternatives.

I'll have to slip my treads over your pedals next time I see you and see how I get on. There seems to be a lot of similar styles to the DX but not many can match them - gotta be a good thing.

That sounds like way too much hard work but thanks for the advice.

Mark do you mean with a crosshead is why they are shit or just in general. A bit of clarification as to why would be appreciated. I'm tearing pins out of my V8's at a moderate rate and want to minimise that.

Forget to mention part of my criteria is pins that screw in from the other side.

Is anyone running these pedals for trials and if so how do they hold up. Am currently running V8's and looking for a change.

Can I stay at yours too Luke? Save me walking home

I find that interesting. I raced mine hard for a good 5 years including several 6hr 12hr and 24hr races and only replaced the odd bearing here and there. I used to ride everything in a 44T as well. I'm sure I could get another 5 years out of it.

Has anyone run a Hugi/DTSwiss style engagement hub for trials? Simple design but not sure if it would hold up. I raced one for years on a XC bike. It outlived a few rims and is still in awesome condition. Very nice sound but low ep's.

I'm with Rowan. If you know how to make it quieter let me know. I want to attract the least attention - especially when we were riding out past Lawrence Hill the other day

Looks quite good apart from the fixed chain line. I dont see how price is related to tension or even how lots of tension is a good thing. I see on here all the time people saying they need more tension. All you need is enough to keep the chain slack in check and stop it rattling over the sprockets on big hits. Look at all the people running rear mechs, the spring tension would be equivalent to that Alfine. My current tensioner has the tension of an elastic band.

Filth dude. Get back to Bristol where the rest of the Controls are.

Right foot forward, goofy on a board, sidehop to the right, spin to the right. I'm too old to start changing now.

To me they are the same thing. So, yes
