  1. Looking for a old video of him (laszlo hegedus) on a monty 26" with an another rider Erdélyi Ádám at park with wooden pallets on a hot sunny day can only find the short version Starts of in Erdélyi Ádám his room like this one with trophies and he does chin ups and a bit of street and then meets up with laszlo hegedus in his car, can see him 0.20 and later on was my fav vid, have lost the cd of it View on Vimeo.

    Argh make it available on mobile my laptop is down
  4. Well had a go at tighten spoke, feels way better no flex around corners and feels more sold and a better drive. Mr Ali your dead right about tensions being different some are looser than others and if I correct them it makes the wheel wobble so defo by feel and ping/squeeze spokes of a rough idea to what ones thanks !

    Rebound

    What's a good way to set rebound not rode modern full sus in years and set sag The bike is a rockymountain altitude 50 with fox rp23 rear and float rl32 forks just cant seem to get it right sittng in saddle feels like my eyes are going to fall out
  6. I agree with you Ali have trued a lot of wheels on past but that was built by a really good wheel builder and had a good tension to go by on good spokes but theses, i think a turn back and I could do it by hand really loose just need a base torque to start from to get a feel and then do rest
  7. Is there a torque or a sound like a guitar string that I can tension spokes up to. I have a guitar app I can use The wheels are echo tr 24 and seem very loose and every time I put pressure through drive I can hear them move/ping and same on front http://www.bikexprt.com/bicycle/tension.htm
  8. Only 2 rides so far, in dry too so will see
  9. Believe or not Amazon, was pretty cheap too, actually feels tackier than big betty
  10. That looks swish always liked them Quick question, what height are you, i just built my echo 24 and not sure on stem length the now i using 20mm spacer, monty ti 145 x 26 i think and I'm 5"4 Also good idea on crank lenght i just went std 170
  11. Its just temporary until i get the height nice play around with the spacers My last set of forks I fitted the stem on top of the headset and then cut the steer with no spacers then i bought another frame which was 20mm higher bb than previous frame and stem was too low and couldnt add spacers and also the other stems had too high a steer clamp than the monty stem so forks were fooked Defo not getting it wrong this time The stem is 145x25 and 20mm spacers feels nice and im 5"4 so for you i would go with 165x35 and mabey trial tech high rise bars , I know this is what duncan shaw rides and that was nice too just a tad too high for me
  12. Done this today and very pleased with it Quick spec Echo tr wheel set Tnn brakes front lgm rear bee greens Schwalbe tires F rocket ron R big betty Echo cranks, trial tech ti bash, rockman freewheel, tr pedals Monty ti stem and try-all bars Had a quick shot and freewheel bound up on spacer, so put old one i had back on and all is good, the chain tension is pretty tight even though the screws are backed right out so hopefully slacken as chain streches and the pads did even need bedding in. Just to cut the steer once i am happy with set up and my little angled spacer works a treat
  13. Splitter looks like an air connector gonna try that What size was it 6mm?

    Carbon Fibre

    Well i have just buffed down a cf headset spacer to fit on top of a monty ti stem to make it flat and ......... It too ages on a stone wheel, l had to hacksaw to a close angle then buff down and file and sand down, the thin end still feels really strong and rigid surprised the stone wheel didnt make that much impact on it prob less than steel i would say, weird and didnt get overly hot like metal but when i took it to a flatsheet of 800 grit wet and dry it really took alot off
  15. Try a variable speed grinder and slow it down for a rougher finish also takes of less material got mine out of halfrauds
  16. Well should get mine built in a few weeks i have a few choices and im 5"4 Trial tech 120 x 17 Old try-all 130 x 25 i think cant really remember Monty 221ti carbon 145/150 x 25 i think thats was too cant remember Now the trial tech works out it has same reach as the try-all just lower, so lenght isnt all that important its the combination of both Also I have made a spacer that goes ontop of sloping cap to make straight so i can lower stem but not cut steer until im happy http://alex.phred.org/stemchart/Default.aspx Stem chart to compare
  17. I remember alpine bikes tried to sell me one of those norco's glad i never got the base ta 26
  18. 2005 the vid was made im sure matt was on kot damon watson had a few clips side hop over railing was one Could be Get1 was around at that time

    Old London Vid

    Looking for the full vid of this, I sure damion watson was in it and a few other names in there This is tartys edit
  21. Try this 1 With 9kg dumbells in each hand, go into a push and do 1 push up, up to down kiss floor to up whilst gripping weights on floor 2 bring legs in to a squat and stand up slowly with weights at side 3 do a curl 4 push weights to the roof 5 weights up high keep elbows high and bend forearms behind head with elbows pointing to roof and back up 6 do the exact opposite back down to push up on alt reps No.5 weights high instead of putting behind head lower the arms to a vertical, like a T shape and then down to side in one slow smooth motion and bring back up or out on front then down mix it up Do 3/4 x ten reps of these and feel the burn and heart rate shoot up also do it like a robot smooth slow deliberate Make sure you warm up and stretch before and after for better recovery Im not a fan of repeated exercises i do this one night, x trainer another, insanity dvd, and a night of streching and take it easy mix it up as much as you can The weights i have different routines too
  22. Well woke up watched news and oh my god few inches of snow in england again This makes me always laugh Last year we had 3-4 foot of snow in cumbernauld and my work made us go in but our headquarters which are in england, they got a few inches and they shut yet told us to go in we had to use 4x4 to pick us up and dig our way to work to do nothing because we couldnt get work in My work Bus supposed to be in workshop to be repaired Few of our guys got caught on the storm one night on motorway and stayed in vans overnight because of snow blocked roads and they never got paid for this Their excuse was scottish people are used to the snow, we have same, clothes, cars, roads, gritters even they didnt come out last year to help us dropped to -20c for a few days how are we used to this? This makes me laugh
  23. Best one i ever used was one in a bike shop that was adjustable, hardly even felt the pin push out and going back together, was so smooth and no pliers need to bend chain side to side to free up tight link I have had almost all brands over the 15-20 year of biking and all the same, utter junk unless you buy a good quality workshop one that adjusts that will last you a life time, would have been better buying a dear one than getting all those cheap ones Think the idea of the park tools and such like is an emergency tool splitter for mtb and on the go and not for trials as we change chains on a regular basis and at home Same idea with headset tools , the amount of times i got lbs to fit headset i would have been cheaper buying the tools and doing it myself I have now reverted to my toppeak alien multi tool to split chains but going to invest in workshop/pro tools
  24. Haha i remember this police chases on bikes All ways wanted a Trek Y-22 for some weird reason ps just remember the name Pacific Blue
