  1. I understand what your saying.im going from my personal experiences. I should mention that I weigh 110kg. I used the try all tires for less then 2 months.they are hanging in my shed. I had to run about 45psi to keep them stable on natural terrain. Then I lost all bounce. Grip is perfect,they just deform way to easy for me. That's why they are rubbish.ill stick to my really tires. It make my bike predictable and feel good.
  2. Sure there's not to much grease in there?
  3. I'd save weight where you can.i wouldn't run the risk on consistent flats for a few grams. I've got my bike set up heaps light where I can but still run a 2.5 dual ply dh tire. It feels way better then the new try all tires. Those tires are rubbish

    Hi tensile tubing twists at the rear end,chromo doesnt normally so if you get a chromo frame it should be fine
  5. This is true. The be greens are smack in the middle of the lgms and Belaey's
  6. I did the same as Ali. I used a 20mm hub for mine. Mines been holding up fantastic, it's been installed since early may this year.
  7. This is true. I run the Belaey on front and the be greens on the rear Best set up I've ever used. I highly recommend this set up

    Dani Comas Leaves Uci

    Because your opinion really matters. Ill be sure to tell him to contact you because you seem to know all
  9. I'm also intrested in this topic. I've tried a try all shift. Got 3 cuts In the sidewalks withing 3 weeks. For me it's to light as a front tire,the sides are to thin. Because of my husky stature I have to run higher air pressure. I found with the the pressure I need it has minimal grip,to get the right grip a had to deal with pinch flats. I honestly wouldn't even run this tire on a xc bike. Im currently running a max is ardent and it is also terrible. The only tire I really like is the old try all,dam you try all for changing your tires
  10. Hahahah. So much fail and flaming. I was gonna post that same video of dani on a stock. This kid fails so hard. They do make 24 in bmxs, arnt cruisers 24.sunday also make 24 street bmx bikes and there was a 26in bmx aswell,it was made by volume made as a commuter, much like riding a fixie. You really should know what your talking about before acting like a complete twat
  11. If they are that bad why are you still using them after 9 months?
  12. My hopes have never been consistent
  13. Wonder if the build quality is thesame as the stinger
  14. I always set up my seat to the same angle of the top tube
  15. They float because of the clearance in the bearings. If it was to tight they would bind up. It probly allow less accurate machining tolerance during manufacture. This making them cheaper
  16. I've only broken 1 sl freewheel. It was 1 year old and the outer teeth broke. I've broken 2 ENO free wheels. Completely killed the insides and broke the outer teeth. Value for money I'd say the sl are what you need. I'll never run a eno again. You get 2 SL for the price aswell
  17. Make sure you get a strong one. Id get a welded steel one over cast.I've broken 2 cast ones removing my freewheel
  18. Foot jam whips and the 180 to rear and 180 drops are way over done these days Everyones just copys every one else. No true creativity. I think it's because there isnt as many people riding street trials as there is bmx
  19. welding will not work. HSS is brittle,when you weld it the heat makes it even more brittle.It will snap alot easier
  20. You can't drill taps.the drill will just rub and you will get no where. Using a diegrinder with a carbide burr could work. If you have access to tooling make up a little spanner that fits Into the tap flutes. Something with 3 fingers that fit between the tap and the hole in the material. Make the fingers as long as the broken tap. Use a tap wrench on the top to unscrew it. Aslong as you have maximum contact on the tap you should be all good. I can draw you a picture of what I mean If you don't understamd
  21. The biggest thing with these matters is how professional you contact the manufactures. They have the final say. If you act like a complete jerk they won't help you. If you contacted them and were nice and professional about the topic,they most likely will contact you. Some places are busy so you don't get a reply straight away. If after a few weeks still no reply,send it again. If they still dont help you and they don't contact you.cut your losses, get a different brand. Use your word of mouth to inform others of your troubles and eventually people will avoid the brands.
  22. You need to buy a new frame. Did your email say that they have to give you a new frame? Or did you explain how it broke and ask is it covered by warrenty?
  23. +1 Location wa fine for a short video. All the pros nee to make a video like this,not just a video full of sidehops
