I've always wondered how that works... motorbikes are the same everywhere so switching between the two must be really awkward! Anyway, bike looks good. How do you find those pedals? They look grippy but possible a bit uncomfortable?

Your brakes are the wrong way round.

Real?

To be honest I'd say you're far more likely to have an awkward stack when you're new to trials. With time and plenty of bails comes the cat like reflexes that allows you in most cases to save yourself and your bike without damaging yourself too much. However this takes time and it's just not worth the risk to be fair. I was bad and never wore a helmet for years and years. Luckily never actually needed one but these days I basically don't go out without one. Where a helmet.

Every single sharp point and angle in there will be a stress raiser and possible crack initiation site. They ought to all be changed to include a radius instead. But yeah, with regards the rotor itself, probably worth just buying a Gusset R-Series and being done with it... My guess is that if you made that you'd end up with a distorted disc likely to crack when used for a prolonged period. No reason not to go for a tensioner, brake lever, booster, bashring etc though.

+1. Crack happy as it stands.

It only happened on Saturday... I'm still doubting anything will come of it due to the circumstances and not being pulled half a mile up the road but if it does I'd guess he should start worrying at the end of this week and then allow a sigh of relief around the 1st of August.

Is the Inspired not doing it for you? Or is it the proper trials/comp scene you want it for? Edit: Lol at Rowan's sneaky comment.

Were there more spectators there than it looks like? Seem to be surprisingly few looking on... I worry for todays male youths... first it's wearing girls jeans, now everyone's wearing girls shoes. Hoe long before they start wearing sports bras or high heels?

He's Canadian- it's a rear brake . One black one which he used to ride then a blue one when the new colours became available? To be honest I have no idea if Danny has cracked or broken any frames, I guess he must've but from what I've seen he doesn't go through them massively quickly. Inner tubes are another matter though... Toooo late... He had one and sold it.

Police motorcyclists should be highly trained. If it was wet he shouldn't have been going faster than allowed by the distance he could see in which to stop safely (that doesn't make sense but you get the idea). It basically shouldn't have happened although I obviously have no idea of the road layout of the circumstances.

Yeah, hitting someone is bad enough but how did he manage to then let go of the bike and let it plough into spectators is just crazy. Also quite surprised that didn't warrant a protest and burning of cars by the French... It usually doesn't take much more to set them off!

I was really surprised there wasn't a single mention (unless I missed it) on the ITV4 coverage... To be honest I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often that either spectators or riders are taken out by one of the thousands of bikes, cars, vans and whatever else dash along the route chasing their guys.

Fair enough.

I had a quick go on Andy Greens today and I can't believe how good it seems to be for the money. Nothing is 'budget' and I can't see anything that I'd want to upgrade (except brake pads to be fair) and also can't believe how light it is too. Without doubt one of the most bargainous things to enter the biketrials market ever. You won't regret it if you get one .

Wowowow... say what now? I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here that that was a typo but please tell me you don't really think the national speed limit is 50...

Thanks for sharing . This really isn't the 'where can I illegally download Lost episodes' thread .

I'm |-| this close to pulling out a full blown, Jean Luc Picard facepalm... and it'll be well deserved.

Awful news from the F2 race at Brands Hatch today. Henry Surtees, 18 year old son of 1964 F1 World Champion John was killed when a stray wheel from a separate accident hit him on the head at ~120mph. He was rendered unconscious immediately and has since died in hospital. Thoughts are with his family...

That's pretty damn nice! Not sure about the bar/stem setup and not a big fan of the saddle but they're minor complaints! Very stealth .

I do if I can see it's clear and the road allows it... Carried through from my days in the minivan when acceleration really wasn't a strong point. Edit: Not in a 30 limit though. I tend to stick to the limit (there or thereabouts) in built up areas but on 50 or national limit roads with roundabouts it's fair game .

Linky.

What's it got to do with acceleration? Momentum baby, momentum!

To be honest, if the three caps being sent as prizes were individually weighed I bet they wouldn't all come out as 3.03g... Controversy?

That stem... No wonder you didn't get on with the bike Clifford!!
