Wasn't it more Ashton having a dig and Carthy going along with it? Ill take your point though.

I want a trials time machine!

They do wear some questionable compression clothing

Hmmm. As a wise Tarty Adam once said, you're not holding onto the front axle. If the frame feels long, aren't you going to have the opposite effect by running the angle set? Why not try a backwards facing fork (a la Jeff Anderson) to shorten the WB? It might look a bit special but you aaaaare riding a trials bike (GU no less).

Zero power? Really? Might be worth looking at your set up. Disc size for example. Bigger the better for more powerer. The Zee, if set up correctly, bled well, centred, bedded in properly etc, should be decent enough. The red EBC, as good as they are, will only give a little extra bite. Don't just think running the EBC will dramatically up the braking performance.

Great venue. Seems to improve every year. Enter here - https://www.store.fxn.global/events-1

Pedals are going to fall out riding them like that

Haha. Class. Very nice steed.

Best tuck the derailleur cable in boy, you'll catch that on a trip wire.

Looks like the longer stem is working out well for you, James. Always enjoy a dual-disc-long-bike video from you.

Trying to imagine what that would feel like to ride. That geo. Those tyres. No grips. With the rear rim side wall repainted, that would look the ticket.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the brakes need a service so the bike wasn't ridable in that state (not that I would ride it in anger anyway ) Might get the Manifesto built next?

He’s running the mounts at their widest already. It does look like you might have a teeny bit more give in the mounts. Once the brakes bled, loosen the bolts and pull the lever which will push your pistons all the way out.

Is there nostalgic reasons for wanting to run the quick release on the mounts? Why not chuck that and just run a bolt like on the non drive side. Would look so much cleaner and takes away the silver from the lovely lumi on black look.

Love an alloy piston upgrade.

Pretty sure Hermance has a mrs who rides.

100% most interesting part is that he's not running a tensioner.

Always liked a big drop...Landed properly or not, that was knarly - and on jump bike geo too! Looking forward to more from this dude.

Pretty sure @Jo Prattley was involved in its testing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115022238362?hash=item1ac7dc129a:g:SP8AAOSw891hV1Tt

Made a mountain bike edit with my brother.

Euro cheese has levelled up. Japanese cheese.
