I tried going back after making this thread but because I'd editted the PM (so as not to look like a 'tard who attaches random pictures of monkeys to messages) it wasn't there. Proper weird... Have a tamarin for reading...

fanny

I just replied to a PM and when it updated the conversation it had automatically attached a picture of a mustachioed monkey... is that just me?!!

There's a huge difference between what's going on with a Lefty and just chopping off the leg of a pair of trials forks and a chain and seat stay.

So you're the numpty I see who hasn't cleared his windows or roof before setting off .

Unbelievable manual control...

Because you're posting shit for the sake of it... Damnit, must not feed the dicks trolls.

Graphics card issue would've shown up in the print screen wouldn't it? Has anything happened to the laptop recently to cause it trauma? Dropped, book fallen on it or owt?

I always click 'Link' and paste the URL in and it works... This is all mighty strange.

Sorry, I meant cartridge rather than sealed.

Yeah Hope do sell 9mm converters but they're just the QR adapters with the centres drilled out to 9mm so I'm not going to pay for anything when I can adapt what I've got. I'm astounded Shimano have never gone down the sealed bearing route. I would never run even XTR or whatever hubs if they aren't sealed. It's like they're stuck in the bloody 70's!

Both ways work for me. Top one includes the &feature stuff, bottom one is just the youtube code.

I hadn't come across those Superstar QR's- just ordered myself one to have a play with on my Inspired (though that involves drilling out the QR adapters on my Hope Pro II which seems like a slightly silly idea... meh! As for the Deore project- what sort of bore have you ended up with once you removed the races? I would imagine you'll have to do a little modification to get the new bearings to fit nicely in there but it should all work out quite well... keep us posted!

Ah, sorry- my bad. Although the Shimano spline has the fat and thin splines I'm sure it's possible to make sprockets (and therefore the freewheel) to work either way round while still keeping a Shimano compatible spline system. In which case it may be possible from a crank point of view.

Freewheel would allow you to pedal backwards and free-wheel while travelling backwards but wouldn't do much when you tried to pedal normally.

Interesting crank setup you've ended up with...

Looks boring and like every other generic hardtail out there. The old Chameleon stood out with low standover, chunky square chainstays etc. whereas that just looks like nowt special.

And to be fair there are only so many ways (or maybe just one) that you can make such a simple component. Nobody buys pads based on the specific CNCing of the backing. It's a case of CNC vs. plastic and pad material/performance.

Reminds me of how dodgy Martin Hawyes' riding was... Also don't think I ever noticed that at the end of the tunnel Martin blatantly faceplants when he tries to get up the concrete block. Or did I know that just forgot? Could watch Martyn all day long though!

Some say he has CNC'd ears. Others say he urinates hydraulic fluid. All we know is he's called The Deng.

Definitely interesting. Would be good to see tapered headtubes and mtb spec bolt through axles as well... something that other trials manufacturers could maybe pick up on.

How many trials frames use BB30 at present?

Engine design module... optimise a toaster/can opener/bashring. Yawhat? Surely the obvious thing to do would be at the very least car oriented... But what sort of optimisation? Are we talking the sort of CAE stuff Ash is talking about or are you talking about looking at an existing engine bay and optimising the location of the various service components to make life easier to carry out basic maintenance or to change an air/oil filter/plugs etc?

But why does it default to that and why would it ever be sensible outside of Apple's weird world to mess around with your customers files so much? Just really bugs me.

I just use sharepod. Means I can leave all my music as mp3s and it doesn't f**k around with the file name or properties like iTunes does.
