  1. I checked this video http://vimeo.com/91496760 again - none of these rules in this one:
  2. And filming. The man should do a trials video. Preferrably with DW starring.
  3. Then I'm out. I'll tour Magura instead.
  4. Exac Exactly. If you brake a lot down from higher speeds in the wet or mud, discs. If not, V-brakes. I had Deore Vs with XT levers and cables on my commuter, which lasted from 06 to 13 without touching it, and then only needed a pair of new pads. I can't see getting that from a hydraulic brake.
  5. If they allow people to take their phones with them, they should really rethink their security policy. Cavity search is the minimum today.
  6. Wait a few months, if you don't need them. The Clean brake should be out soon, according to Abel Mustieles. Then there is the rumoured Hope prototype, and the Racing Line, of which we will soon learn more about its ability to work with water in the long run.
  7. Team frames are 100% custom, so weights are largely unknown. Forks break at certain places, and he breaks them all the time, so he probably knows the weak points resulting from his riding.
  8. Worldcup elite rider David Hoffmann put many holes into the legs of two Trialtech 26 forks. After many months (which is a long time for his massive riding) they cracked nowhere near the holes. The only thing which worries me here are the holes on the lower end of the steering tube and on the downtube reinforcement plate. But hey, if it holds, it will advance frame building.
  9. He is currently #5 in UCI world ranking, with only Dunand, Carthy, Gilles and Hermance above. This is not beginner level.
  10. Aglae is by far the most stealthy of the Super Final riders. I quite like that.
  11. Ever been to Business Land? The conformity is even more impressive.
  12. http://tribalzine.com/?B1K3-le-20-Ekinox-le-26-Eklipse-le
  13. The backflip crash looked really frightening. He walked it off, nevertheless.
  14. Tribalzine has some news on the brand: http://tribalzine.com/?Le-National-de-Bike-Trial-2014
  15. Ok, they answered my mail already! For the record, currently the options are: Because, Onza, Echo. I'll go with the Because.
  16. At least the Bonz do not have a vertical sidewall - I know because I had them on my bike. Pads could not be set up parallel to the rim without using a half link in the chain. That's why I am searching for a rim with vertical sidewalls. I think I'll phone Tarty.
  17. They are pretty light, didn't expect that... but a centimeter too small for me (forgot to mention that I need rear only for improved brake positioning)
  18. Which do have that feature? Light as f**k would be nice as well. Edit: Need rear only, my bad, sorry.
  19. Haaaarrrrrr. Bloody Vikings.
  20. I once invented steel retaining brackets to keep you on the toilet in cases of more forceful and intense shitting. No one believed in this as well. For the ties: I'd buy if I would still wear ties. Usable business clothing > hover board hoaxes for sure. Currently business submission clothing only serves to make you stiff and act with awful mannerism, often mistaken for elegance.
  21. http://tribalzine.com/?Ozonys-stoppe-sa-collaboration As I understand it, the official reason is that he is building his own trials brand, using AMG bikes.
