  1. Looks good. I am getting one myself soon. What is the front tire? Is that soft/hard? Do you know any soft ones, except 2.7 maxxis :D

    I am still waiting for my tyre from chain reaction a schwalbe smart sam up front... the big betty does seem quite grippy but it doesnt like off camber rocks much. might give the 2.7 maxxis a try soon.

  2. Had a nightmare today on the new bike basically couldnt tension the chain properley for longer than five mins. I have a zhi rear hub and i have to run the snail cams on the outside of the frame but it just isnt holding the wheel in place this is because the cams are sitting on the bolts right? and not the axle..?

    Anyone know a solution to this or will i have to grind the spacers down so that the snails will run on the inside of the frame??

  3. Good lad! How's the rear tyre? I might get one of those.

    Also, stealth.

    Cant comment on what the tyre rides like yet but it does feel quite a hard rubber.. My mate had to order it from ison distribution as we couldnt find one for sale and this was the only one they had.. Its the triple compound one which i think is the wrong type as there is gooey gluey compound which is the softer one i think,....

  4. So finally got around to building this.. Couple of things needed to finish it off, still waiting on my front tyre from crc and i need to get a shadow chain this week as i have a naughty half link on that i had lying around which i cannot trust in the slightest after snapping a few..

    Dying to test it out tomorrow with a fresh grind but from the five mins i have had on it it just feels right, just gonna have to be careful with the chain i am running so can't test it properley till i sort that out.. Comments welcome ;)

  5. Gaz has a well nice style! Was good to ride with you two the other day had a good laugh, I was gutted that I didn't get much riding done but hey thats how it is somedays :( Will have to come back again and have a proper go of it when the weathers half decent and we will go to all of the spots(Y) I will have to make the effort to come and ride near you one weekend aswell ;)

    Oh and I liked the video, what was the music?

    Not on the roids fella! Metrxtreme size up and a course of creatine (Y)

    Woops didn't realise you had rang fella, I had problems with my phone so I had to take it back to the shop! Got a new phone now, but haven't got anyones number, give us a text :)

    I never phoned you, you phoned me ;)

  6. Wow loved the video bike looks so fun to ride this has made my mind up for me... Will be ringing tarty this week for a new frame and rims, just hope they have got them in stock! :blink:

    Also what are the schwalbe tyres like and what are the alternatives? :S

  7. Yes I will put a nother chain on, this one feels to flexy!

    I have just tested the bike for 1 hour but so far I like this one best of all bikes I ever had.

    Could you explain why and how, and compare to your other frames,,, Was you riding stock before the because?

  8. After watching this vid to the end, checkout PSYCHO TRIAL DAY VOL-1, the video effects and editing are bloody amazing. Think it was filmed & edited by the same guy who filmed Giles and Giaco in HD.

    Ye did notice that was a good watch..

  9. the bb is too high for my liking, made the bike ride strangely.

    How strange though? I think you would need atleast a good days riding on one to figure out what are the pros and cons..

    I had a 24 Marino built similar to Damons one but that was super long was 1085 bit of an experiment but because of the s**t tensioner design on it which broke after 5 mins i couldn't really get a feel for the bike. From what i did do on it, it certainly had potential but being made of steel certainly didnt help it, i wonder if anyone on here has still got it or is damons still about.? ( Mine was a white one super long for a 24 someone should recognise it)

  10. They sold really really quick. I can't help but think they barely got any in though.

    According to Mark and Ali, it has the rolling power of a stock (nearly) and the flickiness and gapping feel of a mod (nearly).

    Something like that.

    And this is why i want one i think they would be the perfect bike for trials..

    They sold out and not one of them has been on here !? Weird..

  11. IINM it has the same geometry as an Inspired, only a shorter front end. So it would feel pretty close.

    I thought the wheelbase was something like 1060, just looked on tarty and it states 1040 thats weird. I cant see it feeling anything like an inspired the stays are a lot shorter and the bb is a lot higher.. Wouldn't want one if it was like an inspired.

  12. Does anyone know if someone has bought one of these yet,, really curious to how they ride / feel etc.. Maybe one of the tarty lads can comment further?

    I am talking about the trials frame and not the street frame..
