There's not a whole lot to discuss - they're v-brake adapters, they work fine. I have some on my bike right now. They give you shitty leverage just like any other adapter out there. If you want max leverage you gota make 'em yourself.
-
Sounds pretty solid to me. It's plastic, so I'd imagine the TPA would strip out/break before the lever.
-
I'm sorry but that looks filthy. The wheels are too small for that frame. It looks sick as a 26", but the 20" version should never have been conceived.
-
And then bend everything? I can't see that working out too well on a trials bike. A BMX is one thing, but a trials bike definitely can't handle the same kind of abuse.
-
Yeah seriously man. I despise english, and yet my spelling and grammar are 100x better than most people who post on this board. You just have to take a couple of seconds to think before you post something that doesn't make sense.

Those forks ...
-
It looks like Bonz cranks to me, although I could be wrong.
-
Unless it's in the washing machine?
-
First off, the Deng lever blades don't fit on the old (which I believe 05s are?) levers. You get a 7% leverage increase, as posted by Tarty in another thread.
-
The blue on that Belaey looks like shit IMO.
-
I had a King, friend has a Pro Trials 2, barely noticable.
-
Outstanding. I'm loving mine. I going dual disc, got the brake, wheel should be here soon. I'll update on how that goes.
-
They're really not that great of a tire like everyone else has said. The Minion DH Super Tacky is an outstanding tire, and although I've never ridden one, the Try-All looks really similar.
-
That is a horrid translation ... So far either the second one posted here, or mine on OTN are the most accurate translations.
-
I swear I already posted this... (if a mod removed it, I'm sorry) I'm just curious as to why you chose 24" over a BMX for street/park type riding?
-
The only Torx bolts I've ever used were the ones on Avid discs, and they blow chunks. I also switched mine to Hex heads. I've never rounded an allen key bolt.
-
That kid is a friggin' machine. I saw a vid recently of a 9 year old who was doing tailwhips and shit equally as nuts.
-
I've also had to wait a bit, but he always sent my stuff, warrantied things he didn't have too, and gave me good deals on things because of the wait.
-
Haha it's vees guys. And no it's obviously not the bleed. You can see the frame flex like a madman when you pull the lever.
-
Unless you did something freakin' insane, I can't see it taking 6 weeks to heal. I've broken plenty a toe, the most recent time being the worst, and I was on the bike in like 1 week. Walking, that's a whole other story.
-
Lately I've noticed my booster (Salsa Carbon, on a Simtra) has been flexing quite a bit. I like my brake to be f**king stiff, and every other part of it is damned expensive, so it's a waste of all my money if my brake is mushy because I have a shitty booster. I want to hear what boosters are stiff as f**k. Has anyone tried one of those 74Kingz boosters from tarty? They're damned expensive, so they must have something going for them...
-
BMX is awesomely fun. Hopefully by next season I'll have my pimped out stock (which I already have), and a decent BMX, just to change it up.
-
Probably BECAUSE people are sending back shit like that to be warrantied. When you use something it's not intended for, and it then breaks, you shouldn't be getting it warrantied - it's just gonna break again, because it's not intended for what you're using it for.
-
You can score the rim with a knife, which apparently has the same effect, or better, than a harsh grind, but it eats away at pads faster.
-
Unless of course you want to ride comps, ever.
