I just sold a bike with Atomlabs on, they're definitely more than strong enough, but Spanks are definitely lighter and look cooler. I never weighed them but I've read a few times that Atomlabs aren't very light. Get any Spanks if you can.

Yeah I waited until November and paid £2750! Luckily he had a kid and Christmas on the way so I pounced. I reckon I can get £3200 in summer easy, it's only done 15k. I was used to all the integrated indicators on my RSV, but the K5> 1000s were so much more money it just wasn't worth it, they were a minimum of £800/£1000 more for one in similar condition, plus they were all either bog standard or dropped, and I just think I prefer slightly older bikes cars, more character! I definitely need some Brembo, found the same lever as yours for about £180 My brakes make a weird hissing noise, is that the sintered pads? Whatever's going on the brake's not good enough.

Doesn't look too bad, but that fork is 15mm longer than the one it was made for. The offset will be much better, but the length probably won't do it any favours.

Cheers! Yeah it's a K3, I was looking at K6/K7 750s, same model/look as your 600, as they were going for about £3600+ but in the end I gave in to power! It is stupidly fast, and stupidly loud, just how I like it! But I really don't need a bike that does 100mph in first gear, I don't think I've been out of 3rd gear yet....can't wait to take it to Brands Hatch though. Definitely need your Brembo master cylinder too! I just sold my RSV Factory which was dripping in Brembo and the brakes were amazing, these ones in comparison are scarily shit for a bike like this.

I think a lot of forks look weird on a Pashley, Inspired would look weird, obviously Pashleys look good, Identiti would but they weigh a ton, Trialtech might look ok if the colour was matched. Fattys are a pass too.

I've got some Pashley forks with v bosses and a disc mount welded on.

They did look great, but that Archive was too short for me, I love my blue one though, still got that. The TMS feels good so far so that's what counts. I was really skeptical of the high bb but it somehow works with the super short rear and the average reach, but bb height - wise I definitely wouldn't go any higher. I will definitely start filming before August this year, just as soon as I've updated Myspace and started a twitter and Instagram account. My selfie stick is in the post and I'll be taking lots of pictures with a retro filter, mainly of my dinner and boxes of bike parts as they turn up in the post. #yolo

Damn. In that case, Jordan you really should tone down the self promotion, you've exceeded Euan Beaden levels of hashtagging and it's dangerous. You've got some good moves, you can 180 tyre tap better than me, despite also having the wrong foot forward, like me. Just keep improving and let your riding do the talking, name dropping and tagging the biggest names and brands in the sport all comes across as a bit desperate unless you ARE those people or you're closely associated with them. I know Instagram and all that crap is pretty standard these days but there's really no reason to hashtag the words "stoked" or "fun". Plus that level of suspense and mystery is only something Danny or Ali etc could get away with, then they'd fully back it up and bend our minds. Ride bike, make video, upload video, keep it simple. All the endless mediateasing and suspense does is build up expectations. It's much more impressive when a great vid comes out of nowhere, like Andrew Dickey's stuff. Don't take it the wrong way, I am a miserable old cvnt, and you're half my age and all excited about trials, and that's great. I'm just saying what a lot of people are thinking, nothing wrong with the riding at all, and that's what counts. Just let it find its own way out there instead of forcing it.

Is that picture above real? (I don't do Instagram or anything like that, if that's what it is)
-
Bloody hell, maybe we don't have the same pedals!
-
What pedal pins are they? Also, do they come with a first aid kit? But seriously, I want some, I've got the same pedals but I'm not impressed with the standard studs.
-
Ah, I never liked that ratio, any idea what 24-18 would be?
-
Yeah I wouldn't mind knowing the 24-17 chainstay length too.
-
Unless you have a load of spacers under it then that's gonna be pretty low for that frame. For that geo I found a 90 x 25/30 was best with some high rise bars, spacer-wise that depends on your height, style, posture etc, but I had a good 30 or 35mm of spacers.
-
I don't think white bars are ever a good idea.
-
Yea Euan made it, basically Euans one but he said the holes are slightly different.

For some of these comp style vids with the SHORT shorts, a penis is really not that far out of shot.

I always try and time something for a chorus or a heavy part of a song, also the finishing move is important, just watch the videos that impress you the most and they'll all have things in common. Never use brand pop music, just don't, especially brand new pop, and nothing from the top ten, I'd much rather hear something new, even if I don't like it, than Imagine Dragons or anything else that's been rinsed by radio. There should also be a rule on certain Linkin Park songs, as much as I love them. As Valk said, don't dress like a penis, continuity is good, so if you can wear the same through a whole video then great, but it's not always possible.

Pretty much everyone here makes videos, and they're all filmed better than that. Also, most of us don't have top of the range equipment or get paid to make videos. How hard is it to step back 5 feet? I looked at some moto trials stuff they filmed on their channel and it' the same problem again.

Take the DX32, you can't put a Jitsie rim on a Pashley!
