Against all odds the coust is still going.... sixth video from me filmed locally on the Coustellier V2 frame, some older clips but I hope you lot like the edit As always, all comments welcome...especially on how to improve the riding or editing Alex

Don't quote all the pictures dude... and no, theyre not normal braze on mounts or anything, just shows how much less weld area is needed when working with steel.

Viz pro720...Try-all Carbon...Monty 221ti Best bars I've used in order of feel

Depends on the freewheel and hub...but typically a hub will outlast a FFW. In my experience FFWs are more reliable though, and a lot cheaper to replace. For a stock like the Zoo pitbull 18:15 or 18:16 should be perfect, the hub spacing should be 135mm Freehubs like the Chris kIng are very good, as is the hope pro2 trials if you dont mind low engagements. I wouldn't trust any form of Deng freehub though

Sand the piston with some 320 grit...after taking the o-ring off until it fits in the bore.

Yes to a multiple choice question....

May possibly have to mill the adaptor down... I've done this before with success Check yer wheels in straight? Dial in the red dials so pads are right out away from the rotor and see if you can move the caliper so the rotor doesn't rub...Also, bent rotor?

Used both...prefer the Rain King personally Feels more bouncy and less "dead" than the Kaiser. Wear rate is a bit better than the Maxxis although not massively for me....

Dual HS or dual disc.....

Try-all for mod are damned good, the egale claws fold so badly I thought......rear maxxis or new try-all shift As for stock, rain King hands down

Headtube looks a bit pointless.....and the rearward facing seat tube is kinda interesting.. a la Zhi Z2

What model hub is it?

Budget? Mod or stock? Disc needed? Freehub or fixed? Spoke Hole?

Looks lovely! Small block 8 on the front of the stock now...should be interesting

Apparently....watch the winter training video on his coustellier V2.....he's got DOB forks and what I assume to be dob rims

Talking to Joe seddon...he said that Giaco's rear stock rim was amazing, brake worked better than any he'd seen.

Local Garden centre...got about 20 odd now

I'm missing all the connectors that join the Hose into the master cylinder of the hope.....can someone show me which parts I need to buy to make it work? I *think* I need 5, 10, 2, 8 from here.

Yep, I used their idea for the brake mount......massive amount better than a traditional setup thats for sure!

Sounds like a dead bleed with the TPA wound right in. The piston is just hitting the back of the barrel causing that rock hard feeling.

Up for this if it happens

Hm...stronger than Urbans Ali? I want front magura..I'm fed up with everything else. I snap Avid BB7 calipers, my Hope just wont bite properly (any advice?! )and if I went Vee I'd need a whole new setup. So it's back full circle to Magura which begs the question which forks? Cannot justify or afford trialtechs....at least new.

Smart Guys? Opposite about Smart Guys or Fly Guys Ali? Same Leg as the Viz which is pretty damn similar to the Trialtech...just thinner steerer tube?
