  1. Excuse my ignorance but what the f**k is an MPP, MMM or DMM? What the f**k happened to A's, B's, C's etc? What the f**k does that mean? Has everyone gone f**kin' nuts? What the f**k happened to that guy's head?
  2. The main difference I can see between BMX and trials setups is the material though... Pressing bearings into a steel shell you're fairly safe that you won't damage the shell much and it would take lots of BB changes to show any real wear on the shell itself. Trials frames are traditionally made of fairly soft aluminium and when you start shoving a hardened steel bearing race into that you're going to run a very real risk of damaging the shell and causing major problems surely? Definitely interested to see what else Deng's got in the pipeline though...
  3. To be honest, your best starting point is to look at something like these and take it from there. Setup is reasonably personal but any of those would give you a very sweet setup straight away depending on your budget. Would be happy to answer any other questions .
  4. Shoulda just superglued it yourself. It's what it was designed for after all!
  5. That had to be a dare?... What did you win?!
  6. Yeah sorry, I only had my shirt off for about half an hour... honest! Yes it was the Netley Marsh steam rally thing. The Waterside motorcycle trials club usually put on a demo and the past 3 years we've had some cycle people around too to play. Edit: Few more pics from Facebook.
  7. Huh? It's my party and I'll cry if I want to... Nope, you lost me!
  8. I don't get why you need to wait for them to arrive before deciding on an RRP... is that how all Onza products are priced? On a whim when you see them in the flesh? 'Umm... think we'll charge... £314.99 for this frame .' Not having a dig and from what I've seen (and heard) of Scott's proto's the freewheel should be pretty immense but considering you've obviously paid for the design, tooling, manufacture and shipping surely you have an RRP to charge to recoup the costs while turning a profit? On a side note, will spare parts be available for the freewheels? I like being able to service my ENO and replace any bits as and when necessary (not that I've had to).
  9. And here was me thinking you were good. Sheesh.
  10. Nice one! Quality is really good and you captured the ride well . Cheers for uploading!
  11. I never go to the hospital. Or the doctor. It took me about 48 hours to convince myself that something was really up when I broke my scaphoid and chipped the end of one of the bones in my arm. Hospital's are full of depressing, ill and often drunk and violent people. The thought of spending 4 hours in A&E with a cut on my chin for them to turn around and say 'well, to be honest there's nothing we can do except clean it with some antiseptic wipes and stick a plaster on it.' doesn't really make me want to go either!
  12. What about the: ? Is that all really necessary?
  13. Pump up the tyres you've got a bit more? I don't really see the need for lower profile tyres or why it would give you more power. If Benito can do what he does with normal tyres I reckon the rest of us can just about cope!
  14. Age: 27 :$ Bike: Inspired What is the best trials specific product you have ever used?: Inspired frame What is the worst trials specific product you have ever used?: Tough one... the very first rear disc hubs for mod made by Megamo. Snapped axles then destroyed the shell How long have you been riding?: Umm, over 11 years How often do you ride?: A couple of times a week on average. More in the Summer How often do you ride with other riders?: A while ago: Rarely. These days: Usually Highest sidehop: about 46-46" over a bar, maybe a bit bigger onto something Longest gap, flat to flat: About 8' I'd guess Biggest tap: Dunno. Tend to just go straight to back: 50" odd Biggest drop: About 10 feet. Biggest up: To back/both about 52" or so I think. Hooking... 60"+ I guess Can you tailwhip?: Occasionally Can you switzerland squeaker?: Only a little bit, few scuffs
  15. I resent that. I take great pride in still being able to kick most of these youngsters arses on a bike .
  16. The gusset's not a gusset at all but a bashguard mounting plate. CNC yokes ftw.
  17. It just didn't seem like freerunning or parkour though... when you watch that done well it's incredibly fluid and flowing. What they were doing is freestyle gymnastics at best. Just doesn't work.
  18. Women: Know your limits! Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  19. There's probably a large box of thousands of those dropouts sitting in a factory somewhere though. If it were a problem the easiest solution would probably to weld an extra gusset or brace in around there to spread the load.
  20. Nooooooooo. I hear Sunday school's are the work of the devil. I'd stay clear myself. And where the hell's the 'hydrolic front disk mananical rear disk' option, or 'vee front mananical rear disk' or a whole plethora of other possibilities eh?
