Almost back on the street band wagon. Finally

Looking forward to hearing more Ali, I wonder if with the V brake style mount they'd be powerful enough on bikes like the Element. A bit like the old days again!

Can't figure it out, it's been flagged as a spammer in the system which should stop them from posting but they seem to be getting around the system like that Russian dick a few years ago

I remember reading the build of that, inspired me to try to knock some weight off my 07 python. Changed my mind very shortly after when I realised I couldn't be arsed as I'd make a proper bodge of it

Spoke to our insurance who said we'd be completely unaffected, being taken care of 100% by hers.

Just been in a car accident in the wife's car. Nothing major but the girl who crashed into us has claimed full responsibility and got a message from her insurers saying they're covering everything. Not a great way to end the day but positive outcome!

Hope Mono Trials probably

He can't release this and expect us all to forget that monstrosity on the Cannondale

I'd like to go back to the 90's when they had the UCI events together over a weekend so you had cross country, 4X, downhill and trials all at the same venue. I used to love watching on Eurosport and it was easily entertaining enough to get people interested.

13 minutes in he says there's something about trials that really lends itself to the media cause it really worked for mags, live shows and video yet I spoke to someone at British Cycling who told me they're not really that bothered about promoting it because its boring to watch and won't get any interest!

Groin eruptions in a lift?

Might even get some tears for each member I've banned

Going for a full on back portrait of him like Steve-O off Jackass

Having a tattoo as we speak, been a while since I've had one but feels good!

Seated Zaskar trials frame would be immense though we all know its never gonna happen (for the general public anyway)

This and Joel's video after he had his bike stolen and you guys sorted him out with one from spares are probably my 2 favourite videos from all my time on TF.

Have you checked out the tree house water slide into a pool. The way he makes the building and lashes ladder rungs to the trees is immense.

Think this needs a HUGE bump! Might just sell the 26 seatless hoppy bike and reinvest in a 24

Ben Rowlands is also a giant like you and he had no trouble on a 24..... Main difference between the two (other than the wheelsize) is the reach on the Hex is 15mm bigger so will feel slightly more comfortable I'd have thought. Shouldn't hold you back though as it's nothing the right bar/stem combo couldn't fix

But which is it? Geometry: - Wheelbase: 1012mm - Chainstays: 378mm - BB Height: +25mm - Head Angle: 74.5° Or Wheelbase 1020mm BB rise 25mm Chainstays 378mm Head tube angle 74.5*

Holy shit that looks short, literally would only be able to ride that in a straight line

Yeah it's a decent enough starter bike but the only downside is it's not very upgrade friendly. If he got into it you'd be looking at upgrading to a slightly better bike with 19" rear wheel and the option for hydraulic rim/disc brakes but at that price I can't imagine you'd lose much money selling especially on something like ebay. Or you could outlay a bit more to start with and buy a bike with 19" wheel and decent brakes which if he gets into it would last longer with the potential for upgrades. Depends how much you want to spend.

These guys are definitely not under rated, assuming the videos are 100% legitimate then just wow https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOtloDe4Ytw3X2v04uU91bA
