Can someone post a link to World Cup standings? There used to be a table somewhere on the UCI pages. Found it under 2016, but is actually 2017: http://62.50.72.82/uciroot/wctri/2017/results.aspx?id=53839&name=Antwerp&date=23-24.09.2017&language=eng

It should be +20 on this frame, tell this Halfords guy to measure it and demand refunds if no match.

See first post, I edited it accordingly.

I used the Hex as a test mule with comp parts last autumn. However, the wheelbase and the low BB made it a bit sluggish on the backwheel. That's why this thing in the photos above exists. Also, I wanted to advance on some construction features. The curved Kloud-style down tube is for my individual style preferences only.

Thanks! I'd reckon that I live in this alternative future now. We might also be working on some other kinds of alternative futures...

Thanks! Lots of sweat in there. No build pics were taken, sorry. Video will be done soon.

To avoid this, I made this: 72, 1080, +60, 1,5", many ideas of David Hoffmann in this frame, the usual painfully branded comp trials parts For two decades, there was Hoffmannbikes, selling custom Trials frames in Germany. Considering his nephew David Hoffmann, and the still-existing workshop, it could be done. PM me for interest, I'll forward it.

Finally, someone else has seen the light. I had a similar Hex setup last autumn to test things - but mine wasn't looking as good as this one.

Looking really good now.

Trashzen to the rescue. These two combined, using the momentum of the first to make the second one a bit easier: http://www.trashzen.com/biketrial-180-turn.php http://www.trashzen.com/biketrial-180-turn-2.php They are hopping a bit for the 180 sometimes, but as seen in the 360 in one turn, it can be done without lifting both wheels. For the 90-180-90=360 for most riders, there was a nice vid of Kenny B where he did it on the flat when he had this 24 street trials bike. I can't find it. But many BMX tutorials show it as a 90-210 or 230. It needs some practice to do more than 270 completely in the air starting from flat ground...

You could also try to learn the 360 on the backwheel only or on the front wheel only. But the rear wheel is hard on your joints while learning it, and the front wheel move is really difficult. I mean how many riders can do that?

No, its a double 180, 360 on the flat would be a jump, which is really a short 90 deg manual, a 180, and another short 90 degrees manual for most riders.

You could practice the double 180 on the flat. Turn in, push hips beside the stem, turn with hips and knees, keep weight there until landing, then push hips back, twist starting from the head. In the second 180, when you lift the front wheel, try to straighten up mid-move like when you are doing a pedal-up, but keep your head and body twisted, looking at your landing already.

They'll rob our asses blank with that. They'll tell us that they can't offer a job currently, or we will get "best personal offers". They'll base it on our social media circle, our online wording, on the time we get up on Sundays, and on how aggressively we drive. It is not like that anyone sells anyone any data directly (imagine the outcry), it is just service companies offering statistically proven analysis services for other service companies, and some privacy policies with lots of "may" and "such as". Compared to this worst case, Hitler and Mielke were amateurs in Totalitarism. Sorry, sometimes this shit gets me. But now that i've taken my meds, we can continue with Trials talk...

? -> Just fill in the name. It won't matter for FB, they know anyways. They want clear names mostly to get more civilized posts and profiles (not a fake Berlusconi, for example) Having no clear name in IT profile data is only an advantage against individuals (a neighbour snooping around while browsing), not against larger organizations (an HR services company buying processed profile data).

Nice find. I fail to see the reason to have three rim brakes with insignificant differences apart from the price. If we are lucky, it will leak less.

A real name is just another attribute in a profile. Apart from the most dormant profiles which are almost never used actively, deriving the real name from the other profile data is a basic exercise.

I think everyone here can imagine the ridiculous amounts of skill necessary to do a no-handed backwards wheelie like it was nothing...

I'm just imagining Damon Watson*'s mother on TF: "we are going to work on his strength". * The manliest Trialist, just to be clear about this.

World elite rider I happen to know said we will see 8 to 9 palettes in the women world elite finals soon. Currently it is around 7, I think. I'd reckon 12-13 and 10-11 palettes are the natural biological limits.

Bent cranks? The gayscared OTN users will love that...

That is the first carbon fork alu frame combo to look coherent. Well done. "Coming out" will feed the OTN troll horde just nicely.
