Thanks guys! :-).

Thanks dudes! Glad to see people are enjoying it 🙂

Morning Guys, Turned 40 today (I know, I know, its a shock given I look at least 5 or 6 years older than that...), and as it's considered a biggy, I spent the year self filming clips to make an edit to celebrate. I have a love / hate relationship with filming edits, but I'm glad I stuck in as I'm pretty chuffed with this one. Spent ages trying to think of a title, and then found the 6 minute song you hear. I've mostly titled all my edits referencing the song name and this is no different. It resonated a lot as I definitely feel like I'm 'Hangin' On' given the level of riding in trials now-a-days. I still feel like I'm improving and learning new things, but I definitely feel it more than I used to after 28 years riding trials... Anyway, the full vid is below (and a left-overs video is underneath that) and I'd love to hear what you think. MAKE. EDITS. GREAT. AGAIN! Thanks for watching

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.

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

🙋‍♂️

Aren't you sweet, Luke. Let me know your address and i'll get the cash down to you soon....

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

Updated with new mtb stuff

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!!

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.

God I watched that so many times when it was released. TKs were such a motivating group of riders

Updated

Evening, updating as I’ve sold everything at the mo. Will update again once i start going through my bits and pieces

A good BTS series on redbull.com as well. https://www.redbull.com/int-en/shows/danny-macaskill-postcard-from-san-francisco
