It's a hard life working in a bike shop apparently. My eldest who's 17 was given this by one of the distributors yesterday to ride for a few months cause he had it in his van... https://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/trail/optic/24-optic-C1/ (ignore the semi renovated hallway, it's only been 11 months 😅)

You might get away with just squeezing them in

Just use superglue/Cyanoacrylate whenever I've done them in the past

Just spotted an ancient clip on the latest Fail Army, anyone identify the rider? (I'm assuming a Paul Mitchell but the name doesn't ring a bell)

Gonna bump this up cause it's easily one of my favourite trials vids ever. I'm 42 now and would have given anything to have had a group of friends like this back in the day.

The current setup of my Zoo Python. Really wanted to enjoy this after longing for another for so long but the lack of Echo forks with full steerer tubes has properly hampered how this feels to ride now 😑 Only thing due to change is the front brake going to a Hope Tech lever on Echo caliper (when I get round to doing it)

Sounds pretty standard for those Echo pistons. The only recommendation I'd give is to source some Magura slaves (or ideally a full brake) and swap them out

Been on the lookout for another 29" unicycle for cruising on canal towpaths and the like. Had one around 2012/13 which cost £125 brand new, the literal same model now (other than a different tyre) costs £480! Luckily I've finally tracked one down second hand on FB for £125, can't wait to get my hands on it and get a few modifications done!

Feels like the good old days this, sat at work trying to bodge together parts of a franken-brake using the wrong tools for a build I will probably sell 😅

HUGE bump for this thread but for some reason the news page is looking weird, doesn't happen on any other pages...

Why is parking a car like finding a girlfriend? All the good ones are taken, so you just stick it in a disabled one and hope nobody finds out

Nice one, ordered a seal kit earlier so will give it a go

Nobody is believing this

Gonna bump this as I'm struggling to find a Hope trials caliper to match my tech lever but I do have an Echo disc brake. Does the Hope Mono Trial seal kit (HBSPC41:TRIAL) fit the Echo caliper so I can run it with dot?

f**k sake Ben, that line near the fountain at 3:18, the sandpit one after it and the manny and drop at the end....🫡
