Yeah the GoPro is cool. Really easy to fit and tweak too. The fact you can also make perfectly good none bike mounted videos with it too, is great. The carbon has been spot on thanks

Although I don't have one in my Echo due to having a spanish style BB, I ran one in my Koxx Sky with no problems at all. I also run one on my Inspired 24". They are excellent BB's. Bearings are super tough.

I had the Heatsinks on for a few weeks, basically so we could get an idea of what they are like for any customers asking. That video is fairly old now, so didn't realise! The Trialtech pads however have been ridden for around 5 months atleast, so I have a pretty good idea of what they are like. You talk about the material being "too hard", but how do you know what this material is like? Have you ridden with it? Secondly your notes about needing to re-grind often are nonsense from what I've found. If you grind properly (and by that I do not mean harshly) and set brakes up well, they will not wear at funny angles at all. If your pads wear at an angle, it is usually because they are either set up wrong, have to much material on them meaning they rock in the cylinder or the backings are crap. Anyhow, the Trialtech pads a very good indeed. They have bags of hold, good bite and seem more resiliant to crappy conditions than other pads.

Pretty cool that! The GoPro HD cams are amazing really. Superb quality. Adam and I did some experimenting with one on my bike tonight. Attached the camera in some random positions! Rode a pile of rocks for a bit. Be interesting to see what the footage is like. Should find out tomorrow

I think it just comes down to what you want from the tyre. If you want light weight-ness and spring then Rubber Queen (any size) is the one to go for. As I mentioned earlier the Der Kaiser and Rain Kings are completely different and offer way more grip, stability and puncture protection.

You could get a Der Kaiser, which should fit a lot better, plus you also be able to grip stuff, not get punctures and not spring off in some random direction when pre-loading.

It's only a bit of fun! Upside down salmon wheelie is my favourite

Really good video, up untill the crash of course! Its good to see Chris going back to his roots and doin more Trialsy stuff. He's great to watch and its a throw back to when I started Trials. Chris' "Hill in Spain" video is cool too. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

I think you'll find you won the puncture "competition"! Something like 10-5 to you. Fat b*****d Decided I wanted grip, stability and less hassle back!

You should have one in the brake already. You can just re-use it if your careful when removing it.

Wellies and an umbrella.

Bike, Helmet. Job done

Awesome! Looking forward to it

Nice one Craig. Good to see you out riding again Secrets is still looking good! Will have to pop up and ride there again soon.

Nice pics and riding mate!

Amazing video, filming, riding and editing. Really enjoyed watching that and you often don't say that about 25min comp videos. Monstrous sections and super tech aswell! Loved it. Will watch again.

Always loved Ben's editing and this one didn't disappoint. Sweet lines as usual Mark, I think your riding has come on quite a bit recently.

Winner. I'll be there, will try and drag fat boy Cap along.

:$

Had other stuff on yesterday so only had a few hours to ride and shipley is over an hour away for me. Anyway these local rocks are sweet, more than a decent test for it. Time will tell whether the carbon is good enough, but so far so good. Cheers Chris Handy to know that actually. Aye we estimated around 100g for both tubes too. At the moment the frame weighs 1474g including the tensioner bolts, if I remember right. So the weight is in Koxx Sky territory which I'm happy with. Frame is deceptively stiff! The tubing is reasonably thick all round and the seatstays "wrap" the tyre quite tightly so there is little room for flex. For reference its a stiff as my Sky which had a built in booster.

First ride went really really well, apart from the puncture I got right at the end, bloody sharp rocks!

Awesome stuff Also for anyone whos interested, the bike is now built is gettin ridden tomorrow. Had a quick play in the car park and it felt fine. Can't wait!

Not really, Adam and I have modified loads of stuff in the past. Sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't, but as I said you'll never find out unless you try. Its also just interesting to see if it works. If the tube or glue doesn't hold up then it'd pretty straight forward to remove and try again.

Regarding strength, I guess we'll soon find out, but you never know if things like this work unless you try it. If it doesn't work then fair enough. Besides, plenty of frames have carbon top tubes. Awesome Easily the best disc I've ever had.
