  1. Surprised this hasn't been posted yet, has some really creative riding and I quite liked the way it was shot. A bit cheesy here and there, in a good way.
  2. They never figured out what's wrong, but I get muscle fatigue super quickly. I can use a mouse on the computer for 15min and after that my arm is just seized up. It got a lot better after taking vitamin/mineral supplements and cutting a lot of sugar from my diet over the last few years. But I still cannot use a mouse When I warm up properly I can ride decently, but I have to be careful not to stretch too far or I get the same problem, mostly with my shoulders. So I just end up doing stuff I can do with relatively ease. I do have to pull my hands from the handlebars whenever I want to let go, they tend to get stuck in a claw kind of grip The surgery is unrelated though. They actually messed up the anesthesia and had to cancel the surgery, ruining all plans I had made 6 months ago. Hurray for dutch doctors.

    19 shows per week?! That's insane haha. It's a bit sad that this forum doesn't seem as supportive for non-uk riders, but I think it's great you're giving the sport a spotlight in this kind of environment.
  4. @Dman Got that line pretty smooth in the end! Some more chill riding. This will be my last ride for the next coming 2 months since I'm due for surgery thursdsay
  5. @Paperclip Those bunnyhops and frenchies are silky smooth. Really a pleasure to look at. I went out for a little ride in Rotterdam today. I'm a bit embarrassed for how small everything is, but I enjoy staying inside my comfort zone for now.
  6. Thanks! I'm not gonna push myself too hard anymore so I'm exploring other ways to challenge myself. Gotta get those manuals more dialed
  7. After 4 years of struggling with health stuff I'm back on a bike. I lost 10cm on everything and everything scares me but at least I'm riding again
  8. This seems to be the manual spot on this bike, on the bmx I did have way better manual posture which was quite far back, with the front wheel a lot closer to the ground. I'll try leaning back further on my next ride but last time I tried it wasn't very stable.
  9. Yeah it's incredibly twitchy haha, way less stable than on a bmx. I can't really say I can manual consistently yet, but it's getting there. I am just backwheeling without a brake yeah, whenever I see videos of other people doing it it seems to be just that But I'll try pumping a bit more, that does make sense. After years of attempting manuals I learned that my main mistake was not applying pressure on the pedals, so that might be the key here as well. Thanks!
  10. If I try to bunnyhop unto anything higher than a curb my weight is too far back and I end up on my ass (seen halfway in this video)
  11. I'm making some progress on manuals, but the manual spot is so damn awkward that I really don't know how to do a bunnyhop manual onto anything higher than a curb. You can see my manual spot is quite awkwardly upright, I'm guessing because the frame is on the long side. Or perhaps my technique is just wrong and In need to lean backwards more?
  12. Great! I've ordered the adapter a few days ago I have a mod though, I always think 180mm disc on a mod looks kind of silly, but oh well
  13. Ah well. But thanks for the answers, was totally clueless on this !
  14. Ahh that's what I feared But a 180mm disc will work? I saw the 180mm adapter should have a lot more clearance. Though the power might be kinda overkill. I just don't wanna lay down double the price for the other disc brakes out there
  15. Try airbnb, some people have some shared apartments that are dirt cheap.
  16. Haha woops, I cleaned the rotor and must have put it back on the other way around The adapter I have isn't on tartybikes anymore, it looks like this one in silver I have a echo urban 2013 mod fork and a 160mm disc btw. I tried turning it upside down but then even the mt2 won't fit anymore
  17. Super excited to receive my mt5, but while I tried to install it I saw the calliper hits the adapter I have Do I need another adapter or something? My mt2 fits just fine with the same setup Using a 2013 echo urban mod and a 160mm disc.

    There's a new one up! I was thinking a video covering the different trials moves might be interesting for viewers that don't come from a trials background. I remember as a beginner that I couldn't identify the difference between a pedal hop and a bunnyhop. So it might be interesting for them to learn which moves are best used in different scenario's.
  19. I'm running a 160mm mt2 on the front of my mod. The brake is quite honesty a danger to my well being Slips all over the place. Is the mt2 just too weak for trials, or should I try to give it a bleed? I can get an mt5 for €80 which is not too bad as an alternative.
  20. Alright it took a while but the bike is up and running I'm surprised everything still seems to work well, except for the front brake which slips quite bad. It's a 160mm mt2, so I'm not sure if it's just weak or if it will need to bed in. I also still need to get the chain tensioner bolt out somehow that's stuck in the frame, but fortunately I was able to fit the chain perfectly for now. The front end is crazy high but it does help, it does feel like the frame is too long but it's still doable. I can't ride more than 30min before my joints are too sore, but I'm satisfied with that for now. I hope my muscles will take over some of the stress after I get back into a bit of better shape. And yeah the color scheme is horrible Thanks for all the help guys!
  21. Thanks everyone. Theres just no movement in the bolt, snapped every allen key trying to unscrew it. Now that I drilled it halfway I guess that theres no way back and I'll just have to helicoil it
  22. He tends to use the brute force approach It's the bolt that comes out of the dropout
  23. The bolt that comes out of the dropout was completely stuck. I asked my dad to help but he just put a drol on it and probably killed the thread :/ It's still stuck now :/ any ideas?
  24. Looks lovely! I could bunnyhop decently, but I had to shift my weight super aggresively. On a bmx it's a lot more comfortable, especially the lower back gets an easier time. It's all about making it less taxing on my knackered body My parts should arrive this monday. I started assembling the bike again today, I think the headset and bottom bracket are fine after some cleaning and lube, but the freewheel has a grinding feeling to it. I don't have money for a new freewheel so I'll see if it holds up
