Ah fair enough. I thought he must've been into the comp scene before but don't remember any videos or anything from way back when. Tom- who made the CF seat unit for you? Will certainly be interesting to see how long the frame lasts !

Don't forget that CLS was (and I imagine still is) a top level comp rider back in the day. I remember him kicking my ass at Hook Woods anyway... Tunni also bears a resemblance to Dougie Lampkin so I dare say he could quite easily lend his machine like skills to natural if he ever wanted.

And be prepared for annoying little carbon splinters all over your hands too . Lovely stuff to work with...

Your English is way better than most of the kids in NMC so don't worry! Haven't used the site but then football sucks so why would I?! Have you tried googling the name to see if there's any feedback or reviews anywhere?

I heard Dave was up at Eurobike but didn't realise this was the launch party! Bike looks awesome, I'm sure it'll be a big hit. Ali also seems to be super comfortable on it- downside footjam whips and manuals look so dialled!

Hi, sorry but you can't sell on here until you've been validated. Regarding the bike (which should be a Czar rather than a Czah), you'd have to give us an idea of what parts are on the bike and/or some pics of it to get an idea of its worth but as a ballpark you'd probably be looking at between £300 and £500 depending on spec. Anyway, expect this topic to be closed in the near future.

Sounds like an awesome way to find new unsuspecting victims friends .

Without meaning to be harsh I'm amazed he made it anywhere near as far... All the footage I've seen has been rather sketchy and not overly impressive. But then they're also going nuts for some old guy with a harmonica so go figure- I really don't get Americans!

Still taken from a video clip shot by Dan Jones at a demo on Saturday. Just cleared it .

Never happened to me in over ten years of riding. I've done a stem bolt before but never a brake mount. You just need to be more careful and think about what you can feel through the allen key rather than just mullering it until it strips. Anyway, get them all helicoiled and you should be good to go.

It was only at about 50 rather than 200mph and it was onto the normal runoff area rather into a concrete wall. Was a bit unnecessary but in no way dangerous.

It has nothing to do with tyres and everything to do with gears. The very first trials bikes produced back in the early 80's were basically modified BMX's and singlespeed so were ~110mm spacing. The wider 135mm spacing was used on mountainbikes to accomodate the cassette of gears to be used with derraileurs. When mountainbikes started being used as trials bikes, the rules stated that bikes had to have 6 working gears so the wide spacing remained and we had 26" bikes (stocks) with 135mm spacing and 20" bikes (mods) with ~110mm spacing. Note here that for the most part 20" trials bikes eventually went to 116mm spacing to allow for two 3mm thick snail cams to be used inside the frame for chain tensioning. However, a few years ago, and due to the increasing trend for stock riders to run singlespeed for simplicity and weight saving, the rules were changed to allow singlespeed bikes with either wheel size. It was around that time that 'modstocks' (26" bikes with mod spacing of 116mm) were introduced. There are also a couple of companies who have toyed with 20" bikes with 135mm spacing ('stockmods'?!). Anyhoo, think that's pretty near the mark.

Looks like it's never been going to be ridden.

Yes but it's a 26" frame.

I *heart* Terry Grant. Good job guys! No MX freestylers there?

Have you got the chain uber tight at the moment? That usually causes 'graunchy' type noises until it stretches (or you knock the tension off a little).

I didn't know Tioga made bikes.

The thing was that the track is what, 7 or 8 car widths? Rubens exited the last corner maybe 5mph faster than Schui and was in the slipstream so by the time he pulled out was probably a good 10-12mph faster so should've been able to sail by. It wasn't a case of committing or not it was an completely inevitable clean passs waiting to happen. The problem with Schui's move is that he waited (or didn't see the move 'til too late (old eyes)) until Rubens was already alongside before moving to the right and didn't stop to give Rubens any room. That's not racing. There should be a respect between drivers and Schui has none and never has. 94 with damon, 96 with Jacques, Kubica in Canada this year, Rubens this year to name the few I can easily recall. Ayrton was a racer through and through and made some very questionable moves in his time but he was such a deep, spiritual guy you always knew he had a massive respect for all the drivers around him (except maybe Alain). Schumacher has the single-minded desire to win but with zero concept of where to draw the line.

Equally Schumacher could've just not been a dick...

18:13 or 18:14 if you're a bit of a pansy .

I was so feeling the Rowan love with Ali's barrier hop!

Looks a bit complicated to me though, JT...

I've been using it for the past few years and have 'earned' over £150 back. It sometimes takes a while for the money to land but they seem very legit. Definitely recommended to anyone who buys pplenty online.

Good for you. Reported.
