Right so here's the deal.... I have an old Hope mono trial try-all edition ( the silver and red one with silver braided hose ). Unfortunately when I got it, the hose was missing some fittings at the caliper end. I do have the following: Banjo bolt, banjo , 2 m6 copper washers. The banjo has a hole with no barb sticking out of it. So what connectors do I need? The outer diameter of the hosing is 6mm. According to this link: ( clicky ) This braided hose can be used with either 5mm or 6mm fittings? Superstar offer hose fitting kits for £8 posted for both ends and both brakes, which is pretty amazing value but I'm not sure if this will fit? The connectors will fit the caliper etc but im not sure if they will accept the hosing. Chainreaction sell the 90* kit for £10 which seems ideal but im still not sure if it will fit click Tarty Adam told me I need a 6mm shroud, olive and hose insert, but im kinda confused thanks to that STW post above. Surely there must be more than one banjo size ( 5mm and 6mm ) to accept the 5 and 6mm banjos?! Tarty only sell one... Why do some banjos seem to come with a hose insert already included? Updated design maybe? Cheers to anyone that can shed some light and help me

I don't really pivot, I tap the front wheel to bring the rear up,kinda like a frenchie.... Haha sorry to thread hijack Gary

Cheers Sam little place called colwith woods near lostwithiel....

Stick up a video of yourself dude, help people see what youre doing wrong 2mins into that, the nighttime drop gap bit is the only sidehop in there but you can see the spakkered side hop thing

Next video will be.....on mod.... on natural

Exactly the same as me , but i start using it at about 38ish.... Can't seem to get over it, and im really convinced its holding me back?

Hey everyone, just finished throwing some clips together.. hope you lot like Cheers

Sounds ace, I'll be there and ill try and drag the maximum amount of people possible along too

Because on mods you can get away with a bracing plate underneath. Check all the older style mods ( t-pro, zona zip, echo lite ) and they all used fully cnc'd bb yokes something the Lynx sorely needs. The Koxx stock looks great, the bb yoke is beautifull engineered. Was waiting for someone to release a frame with the BB shell integrated properly into the yoke without either being fking massive and heavy or simply welded on.

One 3/32nd allen key is all you need dude :|

I love grammar checking Depends on your wheel size and what cranks you're running.. 18:15 is the norm on stocks, whereas 18:12 is usually used on mods so it's pretty much up to you. I have wee legs so have to use 18:16 on my stock. Just get the bike how it's set-up, try the suggested gear ratio and if you don't like it get another rear cog ( nearly definitely wont be too light for you, so you'll probably have to go a tooth bigger ). If you have any local riders have a bash on their bikes and see what the gearing feels like to you

Actually found a shit load of hair inside the bearings of mine too...god knows how

Vido change

Put enough heat through it to fuse another metal to it and you'll probably create a HAZ ... just leave it, and tell his parents thats what happens to trials bikes!

Video removed.

I know the intro's massive....the next video has about 3x as much riding, but i couldn't keep it as one video It follows on nicely from this one though, and should be online in the next 2 hours.

Hey there everyone, just finished uploading my newest video project; tried to really put some effort into the edit of this one... there will be a part 2 following this which is encoding as I type this. AS always, all comments welcome etc, and i'd really like to hear everyone's feedback on this little edit Cheers, Alex Removed...ill try and make it better Now got Part 2 up, scrapped all of part 1. Hope you guys like this one better Part 2

Hey Kris, whats the best way to get hold of Edd Potts?

Fair enough man, was filthy light though

Looks cool, but dare I say it a little Ott? Pretty badass editing nonetheless Well done, wish I had the skills for that

I dont see why people are having a dig at light bikes all of a sudden?! When I rode your stinger back at the Trial of Wessex Ali that was incredibly light-weight I'm tiny and kind of have to have a lightish bike so i can man it around, at least thats my excuse for drilling and customising bits on mine ; on top of that its good to experiment with designs and concepts. If i had the money and time I'd make a good lot of my bike....

Too true, they're more than likely tubing available in factory. The Downtube off the Kortz 2 / Onza proto frame is from an XC bike

Anyone else have any ideas?
