  1. I see it more like GOD's warning, lol. Shit could happen but it's not.
  2. Finally! Have not watched but may say it's cool.
  3. You're mostly right. Street-trials bike give you so much opportunities to ride everything in so many ways. I started to ride pogostick and be bored in just 8 months (but when I just started motivation was unbelievable, rain, shower, snow, -20 -30 -36°C, I don't give a single f**k, I just ride-ride-ride). Brakeless helped alot not to leave trials at all (I thought about it). But now I have this beautiful fourplay with more trialsy stem (90x35) and feel awesome. I ride every day until I hurt myself or exhausted. 90% of time by myself, alone, and see no problem in this. I can do trials and street on one bike and this is amazing. Yes it's hard to do some huge static gaps and sidehops because it weights a ton and geo is not pogostick like but I don't care, the main reason I ride is for fun and joy, and with street-trials bike I get the MAX of it.
  4. Strange shit happens yesterday. I had some "cheng shin 24x2'35 made in taiwan" tube in front wheel for ~year+. And yesterday, my tyre patch failed and I saw some ~1cm tube hernia on my front wheel. After that I've decided to throw this holyshit roller in trash bin and replace with brand new one. All was Okay till the moment of pumping up the wheel: 2.1atm...2.2atm...2.3atm...detaching the valve... EXPLOSION MUFUKA! Wheel popped out in air from dropouts, . I've had a little contusion (I was in the stairwell with awesome acoustic). For next 10 minutes I examined my rim and didn't find a single problem. Rim is absolutely ideal. WTF it was? Just shitty tube? I'm afraid to imagine what if this happens on huge drop on speed. Hernia has absolutely no relation to this explosion. Tube exploded by the seam. Also there was nothing foreign like trash or something in tyre.
  5. NOOOOOPE. I do. Tape measure is always in my backpack. How else can you see your progression(I know there are things like stability, extraskills and creativity),? I'm not a big fan of TGS but I feel so satisfied when my bunnyhop gets BIGGER or I've done some larger drop. For example bunnyhop onto obstacle. I think that 1.15M is kinda lower limit of world level. How high you need to go to get "world" level in some moves? For example, if John can do 1.2M I think he's world level bunnyhopper, LOL.
  6. What is it, how high/long, feel free to to express your opinions. For example: 1) BH/SideHop/PedalUp height you can do pretty stable. 2) Gaps (static and at speed, BH/PedalKick/etc.). 3) Drops. Maybe some kind of other criteria.
  7. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWlzF25z_Q8 GOPRO one, later I'll shot some normal and much better vid.
  8. if you are talking about crown race do this:
  9. Well, this setup turned up like very cool. Just 4 additional mm (was 46, now 50) of stackers done their job. The comfiest setup I ever rode. Really comfy on back wheel and divinely on two, despite of short stem.
  10. I'm switching periodically from brakeless to "with". There are things at both sides I love to do.
  11. Why are you separate "pure" trials from "dirty" one? WTF? What is pure? Pogo stick? 10 years ago there was no such a question "Is a bunny hop really necessary for Trials?"
  12. Well, I'll try this until I'll get my Arcade bars.
  13. Hmmmm.. maybe hands length also affects. I'm 6.1ft but I can't ride anything lower than high rise bars with totally uncutted steerer tube and 70x35 and higher stem. And even 70x35 feels short for me, only with TT HR, only with Arcade bars it feels good.
  14. I'll do that, because I really don't get it. 66mm lower than my setup! This is kinda XC setup lol. I'll 100% get a kyphosis after few rides on this bike.
  15. Clerictgm mk2

    Why?

    Bars are OK, a little short but OK. But WHY they made this silly stem? This stem is ridiculous. 80x8. What? +Crazy short steerer tube I would not take this bike even for free because It's unrideable. Same thing about styl with short steerer tube. But this also have a silly stem. With this stem you'll get your bars 37mm lower than with 90x35. Crazy long reach and crazy low, why, why, why-y-y-y-y?
  16. Nice Huge improvement since previous vid.
  17. I want to switch to 70x35 stem. Reach feels good, but it's 16mm lower than 90x35 and I like the height of 90x35 more. So maybe 70x35 + Arcade bars would be a good combination?
