"aaaaaah my other ankle!" The guy doesn't actually do a lot of tricks or so, but the magnitude of the things he does is huge... P.S. I avoid showing this to friends, because they say that trials is shit, after seeing this...

Dudes, just leave the poor rail alone! It got you beat, just accept that!

How is that funny?

That sounded gay... If you stop by Bulgaria, write a message, we'll work things out. There are some great hostels here

The two red things that I circled should be one piece. They are not in your case, because the whole thing broke apart. You need a new M5 bolt if I am not mistaken, and cut the head with a saw so that it has a hole like part #3. Bolt #1 should be in place #2 I think...I mean there should be a bolt in #2 and if you have another bolt like in #1 you should use it for the purpose I said above. Forget about those two little pieces that I wrote are broken. They won't do you any good anymore. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answers How about strength? Anybody have experience with that?

Hi, I couldn't find anything about the subject (maybe I am bad at searching) so I will go straight to it. Anyone ridden a copy of Inspired, for example, in Marino production? If yes, how does it feel? Is it too stiff? Is it too heavy? Everything you could tell me will be appreciated, because I am going to move to a 24" soon, and this is the only option I have. If I had enough money I would go for an Inspired, but, sadly, I don't... Thanks in advance, Cheers

I don't see why most of you say so many bad things about the company itself...They make custom frames, which means they aren't tested with this geometry, these tubings, etc. And it seems that Damon wanted a light frame. Also the frames are made from normal carbon steel (which btw doesn't contain only carbon...it's an alloy of some sort I am certain) which is bound to bend like that. Another thing - the frames cost like 100 pounds...why would anyone expect GREAT quality like an Inspired (300 pounds). And combining all these facts the question stays - why are there so many idiots that make "smart" statements in this forum....whatever, I have sand in my vagina and am nervous and need to get it out somewhere. But I am sure that when they go CrMo, Marino will be better than ever. Peace...

If you are looking for strength and don't care about weight, you should definitely go with a Collapse. I snapped two KMCs so far, and the second one was going to be fatal...I was quite lucky that day. But if you change them regularly (3-4 months) I don't think you will have any problems.

Well I think that the equivalent of 18/12 in mod is 18/15 for stock...

I think he was being ironic...he's just an idiot. So could you do anything about the "This video isn't available for your country" thing? Maybe vimeo with good quality

Plazmatic CRM is the way to go The problem is that in two or three weeks you are gonna have to change them...but it's worth the money.

It's exactly the same fork. The f...in' CNC STIFFNESS shites on the boots don't make a difference... Better mounts on the back than on the front though...

You just need to get into a technical university and learn some physics Then you will know, for example, that Kinematics isn't about force. It's about movement. I have some theory about your word. The example you gave - pedal up an obstacle - you first have some potential energy (this is when you are on the bike doing nothing, but pressing your weight on the bike so that it stands still). Then you press your pedal with that potential energy to result in kinetic energy that makes the bike move. Then you use your other potential energy of your body to lift the bars and in the same time pedaling. Then you crouch and there it is. Energy resulting in doing something cool. So in my calculations the word is "Potential energy". Which is not very cool thing to say, so I guess is not the thing you were looking for... Cheers

Actually that was the opinion I wanted. Thanks.

Good to know about the cracking. Where does it usually crack? Yes, I know. But throughout my riding I've changed a lot of frames with different geometries and discovered that you just need 1-2 days to get used to the other geometry and you will be back in shape in no time. I call it The Johnson Theory. And I will prove it by changing the geometry of my bike again

I had an offer about an MS2 and was wondering how is it comparing to the Adamant A1 frame for instance in strength? Is it the same, better or worse? The geometry isn't an object, because it doesn't really matter to me. Thanks in advance

They actually leak, because they are made of 7075 or 6061 aluminum. The Magura ones are some other alloy and when bled with water they do not corrode like the Echo ones. Never ridden a TR brake, but the old ones were great when bled with oil. I suppose these would be the same. Their lever is great by the way.

You got 5 year warranty what is there to worry about

So what happened to that guy, he was such a great rider. Does he have any new videos or does he ride at all? I really liked his style. Cheers

Please...be gentle to it...it's so beautiful

I didn't see what's so unique about the bottom bracket, Deng had the same design on the second model of the External BB... Would be great for a trials bike so you wouldn't have to make like a million revolutions to go to another spot...I kind of got pissed the other day when I had to go home from a very distant direction...good thing there are buses... Although I wouldn't trust the freewheel until it's tested by a trials rider.

Something like this? The guy's style is THE BEST for Christ's sake...I just love him. It is so....old school.

A Wi-Fi brake that doesn't need cables and stuff (you should watch how the battery of it goes though) ....and maybe a Cokeholder, you know for your 0.5l Coca Cola. Oh and a built-in GPS system so that you wouldn't worry where you leave your bike. I liked the iPod holder idea by the way it would be useful, although you'd need wireless headphones then so you don't mess up the cables of the wired ones. Yeah I am a wireless fan....

It doesn't matter what bike you ride. If you are good, you are good. If you feel bad on the high bb, then ride it for a week and try to get used to it and you will have no problems. It is actually easier for me to make manuals with the high bb, than with the low. Modern frames are all good, you just have to pick something strong if you want to ride hard, or something light if you want to ride normal
