Oh noes. I soo hoped for the brake lever to be the first proper trials lever besides the Echo, since Magura, Racing Line and Tensile chose to go with the obvious design flaw of a rear protruded handlebar clamp, resulting in constantly injured legs and knees for some of us.

Here's tribalzine's version, for those of you not too much into facef.uck: http://tribalzine.com/?Les-cadre-et-composants-Clean

Try steering with knees out and in (therefore bent legs) and/or steering with the handlebars and pulling/pushing on the bar ends with your arms to tilt the bike towards the direction you want to go, i.e. the side you are currently falling towards. Wheelieing took me a good many months to learn, perhaps even two years, I don't remember. But it was the Nineties, nowadays people learn to sidehop over a meter in the first year.

Crewkerz had a prototype this spring, around 200 grams, platforms, looked quite reliable.

Sick edits. Seriously: These are the best trials videos since at least 2005. Edit, I am in a more positive mood right now: We need more stuff like that. TGS like its 1995.

Totally sick comments here.

Sick.

I checked this video http://vimeo.com/91496760 again - none of these rules in this one:

And filming. The man should do a trials video. Preferrably with DW starring.

Then I'm out. I'll tour Magura instead.

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.

If they allow people to take their phones with them, they should really rethink their security policy. Cavity search is the minimum today.

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.

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.

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.

He is currently #5 in UCI world ranking, with only Dunand, Carthy, Gilles and Hermance above. This is not beginner level.

Aglae is by far the most stealthy of the Super Final riders. I quite like that.

Ever been to Business Land? The conformity is even more impressive.

The backflip crash looked really frightening. He walked it off, nevertheless.

Ziptie saddle!

Ok for me. I am a feather.

Ok, they answered my mail already! For the record, currently the options are: Because, Onza, Echo. I'll go with the Because.
