  1. Hahaha that's awsome, looks professional, props. I'm guessing your front hub is red, right ? Anyhow, your bike looks sweet.
  2. My Planet X ghost Bad angle, bad setting... It's getting an overhaul quite soon too EDIT : Anyone else with a 24" rear wheel on a 26" frame ?

    Urgent!

    As to what he can do, well, I'd personally start with the Brazilian embacy and take it from there...
  4. Do keep in mind that flats and cages and have the same fealing on the foot. I, personally, can't be bothered with cages as I feal my foot flexing around. But I guess lots of riders can't be bothered with flats as they are too grippy, weight [...]
  5. I can't really help you out since I use cuebase, but I can tell you that getting anything you'd have to pay for is total BS for what you want to do... I'd probably start by making sure I have the best possible drivers for my soundcard if I were you...

    Rant

    I know what you mean, so annoying... Thing is, I probably was one of them when I was younger, probably the idiotic type. Because, I wasn't a poser, and was mostly quiet, but still I was there and probably annoying. But look at the bright side, out of that group of young fellows, half of them will stop riding before next year (mostly the pricks) and you'll probably end up with some new, younger riders, that are stoked to ride wich is actually quite cool. Meanwhile, remind the bastards that they're bastards.
  7. Would be a bit borring if you ask me, not enough contries have really good riders... Anyhow, as a trials rider myself, I can't watch trials comp footage for more then 5 minutes...
  8. How does riding with a suit and tie make me a lesser good rider !?
  9. Concentrate on what ? If you're talking about writing songs, then writing a song with like 4 people at the same time usually isn't doable... You'll just need to have one member or two that write the song at a time, you can defenetly get input from anyone in the band, like the bass player has a nice riff, rythm guitar sets out and goes like yeah totaly then nails down some chords, then every thing else just fits in by that...
  10. Make my bike actually look cool
  11. I'd personally go with either a hope mono trials or an Avid bb7 with a linear slick cable, lots of people tend to forget how awsome a slick cable does...
  12. For those who care for a link...
  13. I'll add the white industries ENO hub to your choices, if you're running singlespeed...
  14. Funny how trials hasn't "evoleve"d much since then...
  15. Well rim brakes put stress on the spokes when you're putting pressure on your pedals but stopped. For example, everytime you land a hop or when sidehopping... Thing I'm not sure of is : Is the force put on the spokes when landing something with rim brakes proportional to how high it was... But yes, disk probably do put a little more stress on the spokes. But for massive drop gaps, you'd be better with rim brakes, in my opinion, the usual massive dropper isn't the kind of rider who can get alot of advantages from a disk brake. Who does massive drops when it's wet ? You don't really need modulation...
  16. 1- I can't stand the squeakyness of maguras 2- Vaster choice of rim (I'm on 24"s) 3- Easy maintenance, just clean the rotor once every week or two and change the pads when you see sparks coming out of your caliper 4- Rides well in wet conditions 5- Easier to set up and parts are widely available (well I'm in Canada where there are tons of bike shops and I used to freeride, so I know how to set up disks) 6- Modulation...

    Swearing

    Thing is with english there aren't enough curse words, actually, none really have a religious significance... Great thing is, most religious words are of latin origin so they sound awsome in french, actually the province of Quebec is the only place where people commonly curse with religious words : Osti, calice, tabarncle, cyboire, crisse [deformation of christ]. We use then some much we not only made then in a participle like f**king, they are out right verbs, "crisser, calicer..." + being the only french speaking place in America, we can use all the english swearing fluently ! I personally am trying to reduce my swearing so it adds pun at specific sentences as I tend to swear alot.
  18. That's not a question of left/right but of liberalism and authoritarism political compass, Actually, in general, most lefties are more liberialist than righties...
  19. I think comps should have very very small limits that have to do with costs. Bike trials is still a young sport, too young to start imposing rules as to how a bike should be, it's hurting it's evolution.
  20. Okay... maybe it's a whole new OS after all...
  21. I personally just hammer it straight in, but when I think of using an old stem, I always feal better .
  22. 26" is actually pretty much as common if not more common than mods (20"s) and well lots of people ride bikes that are half-way between trials and mtb...
  23. I mean, it's just a norco... hahaha
