Best advice I can give you is to sell the iEvil and get a PC...

Didn't see that but he's (almost certainly) still with us, according to Wikipedia, his website and the knowledge that is Google.

I would like to punch any 'flat-earther'. I'd punch them right in the ovaries/testicles *delete as appropriate*.

I don't even know what Dave Mirra was doing there... absolutely nuts. Just...

Could watch the BS boys all day long... awesome riding! Thanks for posting .

Glad to hear it... 'that's how we roll'...

Bloody hope not looking at his spelling and grammar!!

Ok, four things...

This is really kind of worrying. In one of your topics you mention you wanted a 16" wheel bike for your son, now you're on your school holidays asking young boys how old they are... I believe this may be construed as 'grooming'...

There are two things wrong in that statement alone... shame on you.

Urgh. I hope you didn't were lycra you big homoroadieloserboy... I went out on my motorbike today, after fitting my new Inspired forks to the Inspired . Oh yeah and I got a set of kickass boots and helmet and bled my mototrials front brake... My day was quite productive. In sadder news I found out the the monkey I adopt at Monkey World passed away from kidney failure last month . RIP Tom. Maybe I should tell Pete Wright about that...

Posted in the link in this thread a few days ago. They are good though.

Hmm... there are a few points I could make on the lever/blade CAD which don't seem to make sense design-wise... Even those headsets HEN make that use a protruding caphead bolt instead of a nice countersunk one. Just points to someone without much design sense. Hoping to be proven wrong when the brake's released though.

Really not convinced this guy knows what he's doing...

I think the main issue is not really with the riding itself (although, it does seem to have gone from TGS to just S...), it's a few things: 1) The concept held by many self proclaimed TGS riders that what they do is trials. As has been said, what you do is a small element of what trials should be. And I'm not talking linked street lines, spinny stuff or whatever. Trials at it's base is fannying round in the woods riding sections. In my eyes, trials street riding is a form of that which is far more accessible for people who don't live near any good natural. Street trials should always be, to some extent, the act of riding a kind of urban section. Simply sidehopping different sized walls all day long is not trials- it's practising a single move related to trials. Now before that arse Mike Winton comes in let me say that if that's what you enjoy doing, fair enough, but don't expect proper trials riders to accept it as a genre of riding because it really isn't. And secondly, I don't think of CLS, Damon, Tunni (edit: I'm gonna throw in Ben Travis there so he feels happy!!)etc as TGS riders since they ride interesting, novel lines and find new ways of riding obstacles. 2) It's the measuring of sidehops for 'fun'. I cringe whenever I see someone on a ride take out a tape measure. That's some sad shit right there. 3) And I guess also the 'sidehop scene', the cringeworthy 'tuckage thread' being the embodyment of what's wrong with the new school S riders. If I see one more picture of Danny Swindlehursts arse I'm gonna scream. Finally, let me just say that I've been riding for over 10 years now. In some peoples eye's I should've given up years ago to give the S riders a chance to shine. However, I can still happily sidehop any trials bike around the 48" mark without tucking, backwheel 50" or so without a tap, but also, and here's the thing, hold my own at national level competitions and have a good stab at spinny 'circus bike' street riding, as some tossers like to put it. I'm a TGS rider, a circus freak and comp nerd all at once... but I enjoy all types of riding and don't get hung up on the latest s!d.

Particularly when it's difficult to tell whether you mean it in the vomitous sense or in the skater 'siiiiccckkk' sense.

Good plan . Although the guard itself has already been cracked and repaired with a bit of ally riveted to the guard. But yeah, have the feeling the bike's going to end up upside down a few times so zip ties are definitely a good idea .

You, sir, are a f**ktard. That is all.

Cheers m'dears. The shirt only comes out on special occasions and I'm virtually blind... so short sighted you wouldn't believe. I think the 'H' on the forehead just finishes off the look nicely.

My point at the start of the thread though was that if all you do is increase the size of the slave pistons, while still using a standard maggy lever, the pads would physically move a smaller distance for a given lever pull than when using normal maggy slaves. That would mean you'd get more powerful braking when the pads touch the rim but to get them to touch in the first place you'd have to run the pads really close to the rim itself and end up being screwed with a slight buckle. And yeah, as Adam(s?) says, air is just a fluid and so pneumatics must act in exactly the same way (in a closed system) as oil/water/whatever since they are both effectively incompressible under normal atmospheric conditions.

Oh Mitch, Mitch, Mitch-a-roo...

It's called heel clearance . It's an X-Hydra circa 2001 or so. I had one for a good few years, my first mod, and loved it. Kind of old school now but still fun to ride . That's mine in my 'Personal Photo' in my profile. I cut the seat tube off of mine to make it look more like an X-Lite .

Maybe Ben/Fred are pissed because they just made a £20 loss on those troos... hence the 'buy it now' on them now! Although, to be perfectly honest, shame on you for buying them in the first place!

Post on OTN. Along with some random abuse and swearing they might be able to help...

You're lucky.
