Paint paint paint paint... And yeah, paint the yellow bits too. They look so much better when you get them away from the standard colours (like the old flame T-rex's)

Forecast says heavy rain... not looking promising!

Big congratulations to John, I know you'll rip it up on the Inspired- they're sooooo nice! Look forward to seeing your bike build and some footage! Enjoy the roadrip Dave

QUOTE (danny B @ Mar 7 2008, 09:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>the main changes are the bolt through rear axle which will improve rigidity and the weight, the bike is almost 200 grams lighter!!!!!!! now weighing in at 1.65kg!!!! Cool, good stuff Danny . Does the frame have to be used with certain hubs then? I take it the actual axle must locate in the dropouts somehow before bolting up...

Any changes from previous frames or just a new paint job? Edit: appears there are- new style dropouts and internal headset seem new compared to what I've seen of the previous ones.

Only vid I've done to date was the one on the T-Rex a couple of years back but will be putting a vid together this summer Don't have a beard but I was riding Soton with a backpack on last weekend Cheers, and yes it rides perfectly. I don't think I've ever had a bike that feels so comfortable doing everything on... I was riding some dirt jumps and North Shore stuff this afternoon and it lapped it up... will be riding Pompy tomorrow if it's dry and it'll be perfect doing proper trials stuff or street there. I love my bike

If the weather's looking ok I'll probably come out on the 24 for a bit...

Lots... haven't registered though so don't know how much. Probably best that way

I loooove Nitro Circus Just got thrillbillies the other day and it really is nuts what those guys get up to- well worth the buy.

Are you on any medication? Doesn't ring a bell...

Not actually that light... 790 grams!! Builds up to a 5.90 kg complete bike... now that's light! As has been mentioned, roadies spend thousands on wind tunnel testing to reduce drag and improve performance in side wind conditions and I'm not convinced that would be a good idea!!

Noop. It's fine how it is! Would completely kill my already not that awesome manual skills if it was any more grabby...

I got mine from Pijin who are a nice little shop in Southampton who offer free postage on all orders which made them work out at the cheapest I could find. Dave

Knock yourself out... But don't expect them to be much good for trials.

The shoes look remarkably like rebranded Ribo's... any idea of prices Fred?

Have you got rid of your full sus rigs now or is this just another new bike?!

The "Twinky" label from the other thread appears to have been closer to the truth than previously thought...

Haha, sorry... Yeah, 50.8mm = 2" and 24" is the way forward as far as streety trials goes in my humble opinion. I'm far from trendy though...

Oh dear...

I've heard that the wheels it runs are about 50.8mm larger than they ought to be... *removes tongue from cheek*

What's your professional opinion, Dr. Nick?

The teeth certainly look a bit on the puny side... and why only 2 'pawls'? Looks like you could squeeze 3 in quite happily or even 4. I don't think the spring is what makes the hub 'lock' though- the 'pawl' type things doesn't actually rotate as with normal hub systems, it rides up the ramp and when the rider puts pressure on the drive the teeth will interlock and be pulled more tightly together. The spring is simply to keep the teeth in loose contact while freewheeling until power is required. That's the way I can see it working. Edit: and yeah, you'd want the drive ring/pawls to be steel rather than Ti.

Reminds me of a well known Olde English saying:

It's only the 2.2" as well... not sure if the 2.4" has a bigger air volume or if it's just a bit wider. I tried running a 2.5" Maxxis High Roller on the back and the DMR on the front the other day and it made the bike feel heavy and slow to accelerate so changed back.

Could easily be stress related considering the position you're in at the moment... Go see your doc.
