  1. Sorry for the delay, to confirm, to top of grip my bar height is 107cm, and yes, it is the hex in that video Hopefully it helps you out.
  2. Surely ‘effective stack’ is meaningless to compare bikes as so many factors can change the measurement (bar geo, stem geometry, stacker quantity / height, fork length, and lots of others that could technically change it). I could get a fourplay to have a similar effective stack as a raleigh burner if I put the correct components on it 🤷🏻‍♂️ This is why stack is taken from centre top of head tube, as less factors have an impact edit: to be slightly helpful, I will try and get you my bar height at somepoint

  4. Aren't you sweet, Luke. Let me know your address and i'll get the cash down to you soon....
  5. Light weight, and with a little modification, even lighter. Definitely helps with moves where the bike spins (FJWs, whips, spins etc) Tread pattern isn't too restricting for street riding Works tubeless Sidewalls are very thin, and really require to use higher pressures (i.e. 45psi +) unless you like changing inner tubes (or in my experience, buying a new tyre, because you tore the sidewall) Narrow profile isn't as reassuring as 2.4" in my experience
  6. Updated with new mtb stuff
  7. That was a really good read @AdamR28! For the record, I was / will always be grateful for the support you gave me through TartyBikes and I'd hazard a guess that most of the riders you've supported will have been. I would also add that you've done more for trials than most could ever imagine so thanks for everything!!

    F1

    That video is quite something. The speed changes are insane. It does re-affirm that I couldn't give two hoots about going to see an F1 race in real life though. Sat in the same seat for a couple of hours, possibly (highly likely) missing most of the action doesn't seem that fun.
  9. God I watched that so many times when it was released. TKs were such a motivating group of riders
  10. Evening, updating as I’ve sold everything at the mo. Will update again once i start going through my bits and pieces
  11. A good BTS series on redbull.com as well. https://www.redbull.com/int-en/shows/danny-macaskill-postcard-from-san-francisco
  12. Can you even Octuple footjam whip, bro?
  13. Gorilla tape is definitely your best bet IMO. It'll reduce the space between the hook and the shelf and hopefully push the tire bead up into the hook creating a better seal. Just make sure you use a rim tape or something over the holes (but im hopeful you knew that already)...
  14. Anyone got a 3d printer and a decent set of calipers?
