  1. 'Coral Fang' is an excellent album all in all.. You should listen to it.
  2. The vegetable is also called Swede. No, I'm not saying that any rider using tryall tyres are better than the results show. Well, basically, you are anyway, since almost everyone ride better outside the comp sections and without time limits. I'm just saying that you can't use results to show if a tyre is good or not.
  3. Just 'cos they're zoo, or does the geometry suit your wrists/arms better than the Brisa? I used EA70. Then switched to tryall for some extra width. I'm now back on EA70, because they're lot more comfortable. Not as triasy, but meh.
  4. My judgement is fine. I was pleased with shit tyres until I tried good ones too. Also, it's Swedish, only one 'e'.
  5. Or get some try-all/Easton bars and shim them up? Because both those bars are 25.4 mm. Easton ea70 > *, btw.
  6. Metal cutting for me. The Metal grinding disc I used earlier just rounded off at the edge, producing a dull and not very deep grind.
  7. They're good pads. Same as Echo and Viz pads, so when you see all the kids with the new Viz pads which are 'superior to all other pads ont market', they're just the good ol' Spanishfly. I had some on my rear vee. They like fresh grinds, and last about a season of comps.
  8. Results say NOTHING. Example, Vincent Hermance could ride Tigoa tyres and still beat the crap out of everyone here. It's all about SKILL and PRECISION. I have only tried try-all rear tyres on other people's bikes. They have folded, flexed and felt generally inferior to Maxxis. On the front though, they're nice tyres. A bit on the heavy side, but not too flexy for small rims, and plenty of grip and pinch protection. Also, try-all tyres shed mud no better than Maxxis. They clog up really fast and lose all their grip, just like all other tyres used for trials. You'll have to give it the ol' stick treatment, beating the mud out of the tread before riding a section or whatever. Personally though, I don't bother.

    Wheelies!

    I leant one handed frame grab wheelies a few years back. Was fun until the bars turned and the front dropped...
  10. Yes, it's f**king yellow stickers and f**king red pedals. Because I'm too damn cheap to actually buy my own VP cages, I just ride the two year old ones my mate gave me. Also, colour coded does not equal rainbow.
  11. Sweeeeeeeet. Lovely colour aswell...
  12. Crappy pic. It's black-silver and a hint of yellow for me.
  13. ell_lezzer.mpg is what you're after. :lol:
  14. I explained the top cap before. It is pressed over a normal domed aluminium cap. The edges on the CF cap sits around and under the normal cap, so it stays put. I've lost mine though. :lol:
  15. Thing is.. The Monty cranks are going to sell really well in other places than England, seeing as SuperCycles, Coustuk and TartyBikes (as far as I know?) are the only dealers of Tensile cranks, while Monty have many retailers all over the world...
  16. I've heard of more Pure forks failing than Urbans. I personally can't fault my Urbans. Well, one of the vee brake mounts was welded on at a weird angle, but apart from that, they're cool. Pure forks are lighter and longer, which makes me wonder where they removed the material. Isn't Bigman the only one actually cracking the disc mount? And also, you mentioned Urbans going at the disc mount.. Just wanted to point out that the mount is identical, so the Pures are no safer at the disc mount than Urbans.
  17. Isn't the disc mount identical? And me urbans, attatched.
  18. Exactly. Kleivard sells the frames, but I guess they're quite pricy! Nice frames though... Not very mainstream UCI though.
  19. Hmm.. Bonding sucks! Brisa: Pure forks are not stronger than Urban ones, and they're about 8ft tall!

  21. De-linkify the link please, Ben. :)
  22. Except that you have to tighten the cones every 5 minutes. Meh. I run a dewhore ont back. Fixed. Works fine, steel freehub body is cool.
  23. Yes, it's a Bianchi. No, they're not avaliable anymore.
