  1. Koss PortaPro. They're bigger and a bit more expensive than the micro 'phones, but they bloody rock. Looks are like Marmite, love it or hate it, but hey, the sound quality is crazy.
  2. Y'all know how it looks outside my window. ZERO natural around here though..
  3. Cheerleader toss - the movie and game Movie is awsome ;) Game is quite fun aswell.. Hit all the targets in as few shots as possible. EDIT: Made it in 10 shots = VARSITY :)
  4. Minion is the tyre to use.. I personally would go for the 2.35" Minion on rims like DX32/Ronnie/Echo.. I run my tyres at about 30-35 psi, and I can do whatever on slanted stuff and not feel it much at all.. Great tyres.

    Viz Hub

    Advertising? Nah. What makes it different from all the other front hubs out on the market? Or is it just another catalogue part with the Viz logo on it?

    "real" Trials

    'Course I remember them, got 'em all! :unsure: Trials is trials. We have small front cogs and squeaky brakes.
  7. I can't even get 7 feet rolling. :">
  8. I agree with you Matt, but only on some points. I'm 5'8", ride a Coust. It's a long bike, and I feel it on some moves.. On stuff like front touches and sidehops I love the extra length, but from time to time I feel like I can't compress enough for bigger gaps and other stuff.. Also, rolling gaps seemed a bit of a pain with my 120mm stem but became easier with the 90mm I'm currently running. I do miss the shortness of my previous frame when rolling steep stuff and when the sections get tight... Hard to control the Coust in the same way I could control my Crescent.. Long bikes are cool though.
  9. Course you'll be able to do street moves. I'm 5ft8" and on my coust I could pull into manuals and stuff with my 120mm by 5 degrees stem.. Just choose a wee bit shorter stem and you'll be fine. BT is more suited towards pure stuff though, so if you're more into street and streetier moves, go for the Tibo or whatever, 'cos it'll work better. You can ride very streety on the BT though, but not with the same finesse.
  10. BT 5.0 comes in black only as a standard colour. They ride very nicely, a nice bit longer than the Tibo aswell.

    Pad Reviews

    Pads: Heatsink Batch A Time used: Two months Rim used: Alex DX32 Grind: Yes Ceraminc: No Brake used: Magura bled with tap water What is your opinion of a working brake: Anything that gives predictable braking, hasn't to be super grabby or instant lockage, but has to be predictable and consistent. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: They were on par with Koxx Bloxx on a fresh/medium worn grind in the dry, and in the wet. More predictable than Bloxx in the mud. Review: Feeling about the same as Bloxx, I was expecting similar results, after the things I had heard about them. Ground my rim, fitted and adjusted the pads, and started riding. First half hour the brake worked OK, slipped a bit now and then, but nothing major. After about three hours the pads 'felt' fully bedded in. Brake squeaked nicer than with the Bloxx, but worked just as well. Time for comp. Day before comp: Rain! Woo, muddy competitions, great brake tester. I was hoping for something a bit more predictable than my Bloxx were, and yep, they were. After about an hour in the mud, my brake was far more powerful and grabbier than Gurra's brake (bloxx on dx32 with grind), which proved something. They wore down pretty fast though, went through about 2-3 mm of pad in the comp, which was about 3 hours long. I drag my brake alot though. The 'sinks mk1 wear faster than Bloxx (common knowledge), and that was what I experienced. They'd be my No. 1 pads for muddy and wet competitions though, as they were very consistent during the whole competition. Woop. Great pads. Newer ones might be even better.
  12. Ahh right, sorry for misinterpreting.. Fact still stands though, TRA is a comp rookie (Y)
  13. Then you have to compare how many comps Danny has ridden with how many Thomas has ridden.. I can guarentee that Danny has a bit more experience when it comes to competition riding....
  14. Gurra is indeed Swedish.. He's my bitch, and does the most violent front touches in Sweeeeden.. Imagine that. Being the best isn't about winning all the comps anyway...
  15. the 'K' hanger (T-Rex) fits the Coustellier frame...
  16. I put my tyres so that the label is readable from the driveside, the way it's meant to go. I'm not too sure tyres perform any different when ran the other way around.. Can't say I've noticed any difference myself.
  17. Carbocomp bars Kinesis Maxlight forks Crescent Ilions frame Merida Matts Comp frame (XC) DT Hügi rear hub (Cracked shell) Michelin Hot-S (huge gash in it :lol:)
  18. Try going to a place that deals plastic/rubber materials.
  19. How about try the place you got the frame from? Or go crazy and call DENG in China.
  20. Mmmm, I like bmx. Honestly though, first part was really BMXy but a while in, the same nice speedy Holroyd trials... I like it.

    Ss Tensioner

    Mods have horizontal dropouts, true single speed and other types of chain tensioners.
  22. Of course it makes the rim weaker, but saves more weight because of the bigger area.
