  1. Got Rid Of The Gu

    in Bike Pictures

    Posted

    Updated my bike about a month or so ago. Haven't got round to taking some photos of it until now.

    ride like a dream compared to the GU, gave me back ache and i think reduced my riding ability.

    Fancied a toxsin because its a steady geometry and a good solid frame no flex at all.

    few pics for you's

    comments welcome. Any ideas on the colour i should get the frame? its been bead blasted which is whys its pretty dull looking atm. White?

    SPEC:

    TOXSIN 1

    ONZA carbon bars

    ZOO stem

    ECHO rims

    HOPE hubs

    HOPE disc

    KOXX yellows

    RELUCTANT half link chain

    ROHLOFF tensioner

  3. Well Well! My Gu Is Done!

    looks nice. i really like the look of it, sorry to see it go.

    The gearing sounds about right. i had to run a harder gear to counter for the short back end.

    I think a zoo stem is the stem for you. bit lower and abit longer

    glad you like it

  4. Chrome T-rex?

    its not crome plated! just aluminum that has been ball burnished (other words polished) then maybe clear lacquered over to stop corrosion.

    this is a toxsin that has been polished up, not crome plated

    if u get it like this, very nice!!

    I RODE INSIDE MY SCHOOL!!

    always sat there and thought about it.

    my time came when i was going on a mountain biking weekend. kept my bike in a classroom al day and then at the end when most teachers gone home ^_^ i did the steps corridors the lot.

    teachers where amazed it had blue wheels and no seat, all taking the pi**

    but i got to do it :D

  10. Help; How To Tap Huge Objects?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    pedal right until you actually tap, then jump, lean into it more, like more over the bars but stay low, hit the wall then jump. maybe go faster

    get more weight forwards and like chris says 'lean into it'. i normall practice on a wall the same size or bigger, so the technique is in my head then go at the object i am wanting to do.seems to work :)

    i find when i am doing wall taps i can do them alot higher than onto railings or thin objects. its all in the head, mind over matter.

  18. Day Out

    Yup, I liked that. Bit windy but better than listening to most of the tunes people choose on here. I have to leave London, you lucky sod, looks wicked there...

    cheers fella

    Its about a 20 minute drive and then a 5 minute ride to get there so its not that accessable, but is worth the effort. :) loads of lines with a bit of everything in there.

  19. Day Out

    Posted · Edited by BAZZA

    Went and had a good ride the other month. i was riding with basically no back brake because the pads were on the way out :shifty: .... took camera and uncle did some filming

    The riding isn't anything amazing the clips were on the computer doing nothing so thought i'd host them.

    theres no music, just a fair bit of wind.

    first few shots are off an ar*e of a line, took me bout half hour to nail-managed in the end though :D . the ledge was only a tires width. :S

    i've put the video on eengoedidee and tv.sgi.si so which ever is easiest for you:

    I'm really liking the ideas on this frame.

    Minimalistic properties!

    Having those internal brake mounts will cut down on so much twisting of the frame (maybe.... just an outward push/flex of the frame). Because they are not bolted to the end/outside of the frame, there shall not be enough leverage to get a great deal of flex.

    Good chunky design for still a good basis for strength.

    Less material and good butting* (i'm guessing as it's aluminium....*drilling material from with inside the frame)

    But this minimalistic look, will it cut down the life span of the frame. Could be great for competition but what if your a great rider in the making?

    Will it keep up with a damage caused from learning new moves and heights on the streets and just general riding?

    People say "it's ugly". It may be super light and tough! You just don't know yet.

    Too many people are involved in looks of their bike instead of how it rides and weight.

    Trials is supposed to be competition based but is progressing more in to the street side. I myself am getting more in to natural to further my trails abilities. All those people that can side hop huge heights.... can they do it both sides (left and right), NO!

    Trails is progressing and things such as this frame should not be scowled upon.

    But then new things do look dawnting and change can not always be good.

    But then i do partly agree with Ashtons latest coment in MBUK.

    But if they is never progress, everyone will be the same (boring).

    Who knows?!

    Lets see where technology and progression can lead.

    Robert

    this guy talks sence.

    yes the frame flex will be reduced because of the internal mounts. it has always been one of my ideas. finally someone has seen sence. still room for improvement on them though.

    there is still a long way to go in frame design but diferent frames are having good ideas put into them. they just need some with a brain to get all the good bits from different frames and put it all in to one.

    some ideas would really look ugly on a bike, just becasue it isn't what everyones is used to it will mean its rubbish. but if it works and makes the bike stronger. who cares.

    What the f**k!!! Is that a f**kin' mod stem AND Riser bars?

    That's an extreme set-up isn't it?

    it works though. i am 6'3" feels beaaautiful to ride. good job i took the longer stem off it :P and a few of the stem stacks.

    And you were laughing at me for having carbon bars

    changed my mind :- needed as wide as i can get. every bar feels thin.

    i had some renthal bars on it few weeks ago :D. Felt awsome-too much rise though, i kept banging my knees

    For a fiver you can not go wrong with the halfords grips. you get 4 sets a bag if you cut them in half (Y)

    cheers for the comments
