Close enough for me Awesome video! You're progressing super fast Mega-jealous of your pallets etc. too.

Seriously?

That's not what you do though. What you do is make awful posts, and use shitty excuses to try and validate them. Josh posts pictures of his triple-seat-tubed bike on here, you say "lolz marino already did it copycat" and when taken up on it you claim you were joking. And you DO edit things after you've been taken up on something. I've noticed you do it on at least three occasions, and that's without actively looking for them.

Right. I'll put this as plainly as I possibly can. You have been an arsehole before. You are being an arsehole now. When doing something you have done before, you can be said to be doing it "again". When you have occupied a particular state before, move away from it, and then return to it, you can be said to be in said state "again". You are being an arsehole, just as you have been many times before - therefore you are being an arsehole "again". Do you understand?

That WAS [edit: my] explanation. I meant it literally. You do this all the f**king time. By "again", I meant you're doing this once more, just like last time. I don't think that was wriggling out - I think that was you not reading.

Obviously the language barrier between you and us is more heavily fortified than I'd thought. a·gain /əˈgen/ Adverb Another time; once more: "it was great to meet old friends again". Returning to a previous position or condition: "he rose and sat down again". Synonyms anew - afresh - once more - newly

Maybe you're trying to wriggle yourself out that hole you just dug again.

Haha. Just furthering my point. I didn't think they had that - but I didn't know for sure so didn't try lording over everyone else.

[Edit: Aimed at FamilyBiker] Just how sure of that are you? It looks to be a fairly clean angle it stops at, so I'm guessing that is actually the end of it. Also can't see any bits of silver poking out on the small bit of the bar , which it would have to if it had snapped off at the angle suggested by the shape of what's left in the big bit. I think you should stop using words like "obviously" when you obviously currently have as much knowledge on what's happened as the rest of us.

It seems a strange place to break when you don't realize that's where the reinforcement ends

Wow. Ok. I'd expected them to go right up at the fulcrum of the clamp. That's interesting. Was he running the insert in those forks, do you know?

I'd be intrigued to see them too. Only seen the Koxx Karbons steerer go, thinking on it. Edit: Second picture is awesome. Guy drove in to an underground car park forgetting his bike was on the roof! Must've been GUTTED

Also, if they're steel then surely they loose the only advantages of alloy floating rotors, and all the weaknesses of having a join. Alloy centres are good for the stiffness, weight, and heat dissipation in non-trials use. If you make the centre part from steel, the only advantage you have is the aesthetic. Or am I missing something?

It's worth noting that Superstar parts are often just rebranded parts from other companies bought from a catalog - which is why a lot of them can be cheap. For the ones that aren't - a cheap product doesn't mean a bad one. Just because you're accustomed to Koxx prices from the trials world, there's a whole different business model available. Koxx sell few at high prices. Superstar sell many at low prices. Can't speak for all their bits, but over the years I've had disc pads, rotors [edit: not the floating ones you're on about - sorry ], pedals, QRs and a seatclamp from them, and all have been perfect.

Erm. Isn't that just the V4 Curve? Edit: You beat me to it

Just two, actually That's a very rare occurrence though. Haha. Glad you liked it - it seemed very half arsed from my perspective and expected a slating.

I think it's kind of nice that people still acknowledge them as 74Kingz, even though they're now made by Heatsink Nothing against Heatsink - I used to love the pads - it's just a cute little legacy.

It looks pretty.

Needed something to do on a Sunday evening, so decided to use what I had saved up rather than wait longer for a full, decent video

Ooof!

If you're fat/heavy, radial can also exert a lot more pressure on the rim. Enough that it can be the difference between a cracked rim and a very strong wheel. I've had issues with 1x, too. 2x seems to be alright so far (couldn't get hold of the right length spokes), but if you don't need to, why take the risk for the sake of (I don't know how many so it's a pure guess) 8 grams? I'd go 4, 5 or 6x if the hub didn't get in the way 3x seems to be sufficient for me to not crack rims though. 3x3x4lyf.

It is my desire that you make videos far more frequently. First line was just COOL. Frame looks superultramegapimp too.
