starting a new thread for just a helmet... oh yeah 03' Giro Semi MX vs 661 Recon

loving it!

shot a ski race in february...

that... is so cool

haha... i saw merzbow last year, just out of curiosity. I couldnt believe the audience at the concert. Was actually prepared for some moshing or at least some people jumping around. But it was full (350+) of hipsters, all standing at the bar, nipping on their manhattens or martinis or whatever with face expressions like "mmmh... I'm totally getting it" while merzbow was surprisingly "beaty" or even DnB-like... edit: ok, maybe not DnB if i thik about it I also got some fun and expensive memories about "FTS"

2:25

changed the hub to a Trialtech Sport... tarty has the matching spokes. ah...size, yes, 24"

damn... I would kill for some Middleburns for my Zoot does anyone have an idea where to get a pair (ISIS) ?

what the...?

the 6° version, as seen on the pictures, is the most common VRO on trials bikes. there are others listed in different shops. i've read about a short aswell as a 20° version (allthough i could imagine that being my stem geo measured with the standard x-ray clamps) edit: ok, now that i looked it up: it's definitely the 15° stem... i was a little confused because you can see it listed as 6°-only on the syntace website ("Winkel") As mentioned before, i dont fully understand the measurements on the VRO system. I tried this exact setup on a friend's bike and it felt amazing, and so it does on my bike... thanks! I'm trying my best to get it dirty

according to the Syntace-Website the rise looks like this: Vector Lowrider Handlebar: 13mm VRO X-Ray Clamps: 33mm (pic) means 46mm rise compared to 91mm on the Onza Rip bar. In my opinion you cant compare the VRO to any other stem/bar combo simply because of its variability. the difference of 45mm surprised me, since my setup is very streety and comfortable. And as you can see on the images, it doesn't look that flat, does it? I don't think I'm lower than the standard Onza setup (put in 10mm+10mm spacer), but then again, i have to say that I don't fully understand the VRO geo/measurements. @FamilyBiker donk da schen! edit: now that I looked at the pictures again, 13mm rise on the bars doesn't sound right...

pretty much the best non-oversized stem/bar out there. there is a little clip demonstrating the test procedure of the VRO system. click... weights: handlebar @ 700mm - 273g stem - 212g

thanks guys! the park was designed by KMKG it turned out great! as for the drivetrain, option 1 (cheap): Echo SL or ENO, Echo cranks, Platinum Pro DH option 2 ($$$$$): Chris King ISO, Middleburns, same... I'm also thinking about a selfmade tensioning system

I had this Zoot for a couple of months and finished "completing" it during the last days (for now...) Spec: standard rear Wheel (switched to 13T) standard drive train Syntace VRO Steam medium Syntace VRO Bar Vector Lowrider 12° the new 30mm rake Urban forks Echo SL Headset Trialtech Race Hub laced to standard rim Those beefy chain tugs from tarty... not looking them up now Brakes: front - Shimano M525 Lever, Louise FR 04' 160mm wave (absolutely brutal!) rear - Single Digit 7 calipers, new style XTR lever, TNN yellow (name?) pads, no-name booster, Odyssey Linear Slics (damn you, CRC for having the green ones available 2 days after i got mine...) rear break works perfect as long as the rim stays dry. I'll put on a light grind soon. well, here it is: It rides amazing! I can fully recommend the Onza Zoot with all its potential. I also have to point out the bad breaks (quality), the horrible chain tugs and in my case, f**ked up left crank it came with. The left side of the BB spline was too poorly made, so it dug itself into the left crank. ...and also I wouldn't buy SD7s again. todays spot (dont make panoramos with a 35mm crop-lense) : next up, new drive train...

love your videos! the last clip was superb

i have a lot to do with large sized picture editing (5dMk2, D7000) using RAW-files in CS5 and Lightroom 3. i dont know what you will be using or which files you are talking about, but that tower you posted (or any other £300 tower) will not make you happy when editing or working with big files. the biggest weaknesses will be the cpu and the non-ssd-harddisc (btw a serious ssd costs you about a third of what you are willing to spend on the whole system). i built a £600 tower in february and it's barely strong enough.

my...god...

wow thank you! that was quick! and what will i find behind that cap if i decide against tightening but to open it?

got a link to that tool? I dont even know what this cap thing is called thx for all the answers guys! i guess i'll have to take my bike with me to the 4th floor of the building todays ride was exactly the same... as for the basement: it's a 6x12ft cellar compartment (thx translator ) in which i keep some car tires, books (i know, not the best idea), a folding bed, etc... it's pretty full does a printer count?

anyone? ...kid killed my thread

rotor and pads are new and bedded in.

here is the situation: my rear mono trial has some ultimate bite/hold, but only like 1 hour into a session (or after a run down a hill before every session). but until then there is absolutely zero hold. just a weak bite and loud squeeking. i keep my bike in the basement (is high humidity a problem?). When I get my bike out for a ride, the caliper is absolutely dry except this area: but even this area is no more than moist.... not leaking for that matter. The cap itself is tight. once again, the rest of the caliper is dry (pistons too) the brake is bled perfectly. As I said, it performes nicely except at beginning of rides. any thoughts?
