    Aye and the weather was much better too
  5. Good ride today Also nice to catch up with everyone!
  6. Good video Matt! Looked like an ace ride. That stone yard place is awesome, need to go back there.
  7. First time I've seen that video. Good times Shall be there again, Waddy is driving
  8. TGS has reached foreign lands! He is quite good at it though.
  9. Good stuff Bigman Nice lines and smoothness! Video looked like it needed de-interlacing? I want to ride Cornwall again!
  10. Using sellotape can save about 80g. Plastic rims tapes weigh about 90grams a pair I think. Wheels is usually the best place to start. Light-ish tyres. Light front tube, rim tapes and rims. Saving weight on the frame is good, but time consuming and sometimes risky. Best places are usually Headtube, BB and remove any un-wanted cable guides and disc mounts. Foam grips usually should save about 100grams for you, as your using lock-ons
  11. Over 2 months, and been riding nearly every day. I think its a great tire, it's light at 850 grams which is loads lighter than any other "good" trials tire. The grip is very good, I would say Maxxis Slow Reezay compound is the only thing that can beat it for grip, but only just. The wear rate is the amazing! The tire uses a Black Chilli Compound that Conti do and they do bang on about it being super grippy but long lasting and to be fair they are right! The sidewalls are fairly thin so they are little more prone to punctures and at low pressures on off camber stuff it can be un stable and a bit un-predictable, but its a trade off. I saved well over 200grams on the rear of my bike and you will definitely feel that. I run the tire at slightly higher pressure than normal to keep it stable. Another plus side of the thin walls is that they make it very springy which is good
  12. Nah, can get one if you like? It's basically a bit of 74Kingz attached to some carbon and sandwiched between axle and frame. I've got it up tensioning to get more chain wrap It's light, very simple and works well. Left my hanger on to protect the carbon.
  13. Looks a lot better like that! Rather than just another black Adamant. Forks suit it too. Need to ride again soon!
  14. It comes as standard on the front brake Rear brake is normal hose.
  15. Weren't you going light weight not long ago
  16. One of them is a CRM, the other is a home made jobber I found Works rather good!
  17. Took a few pictures the other day and thought I would bosh 'em up Current weight is 9.25kg. If I put my slick front tire on it drops just below 9.2kg so not to bad! Hope you like! Stan.
