ive had a fair few punctures with my maxxis. a few freak ones in london. bleh.

15-30 depending on what i am going to ride and what i feel like.

I hate multi-purpose things with a passion. Combining a handful of crap short allen keys with some half-decent cone spanners, chucking in a spoke key, bottle opener and flat screwdriver, and trying to fit everything in a tool the size of a small cellphone just doesn't cut it in my books. Allen keys: 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 Spanners: 8, 14, 15, 17, small and large adjustable ones Screwdrivers (flat, Philips and Pozidriv), Mole grips, mallet, BB tool, cassette tool, chain whip, spoke key (park), puncture kit with good tyre levers, gaffer tape, threadlock (loctite) superglue and a block of wood is alll I ever use for working on either of my bikes. oh yeah, if you run maggies/hydraulic discs, a suitable bleed kit and a bit of fluid isn't bad to have. buy expensive tools, it is worth it. Bring a bag on longer rides.. You might think you would like to go bagless because of the freedom and only carry a little multitool, but if you have a bag you don't need to have keys, phone, wallet etc in your pockets. and you can bring stuff like extra clothes, tubes, all the tools you wanna, maybe camera, DRINKS, maybe some choccy or other stuff to eat, and other friends' stuff of course...

last few paragraphs looked like something my last english teacher would write....

buy 5, sell 4 and break even?

Not bad for trials either...

awsome dimitri! i dont know if you remember me, am the swedish guy that was on the london ride same time as you this summer.. 2.7" is beeeefy..

http://free-du.t-com.hr/trials/ pretty old though....

firewire (ilink) is the only real way to transfer video from the dv camera to the computer. if you have a firewire (1194) connection, it should appear in the 'network connections' group along with your network card.. at least mine does. if you don't have firewire, a card is not very expensive.

i would.

anchorman. pretty funny. HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM!

johan sent me this earlier, it is well good... johan does the greatest bail EVERz!!!11 download!!! also has exclusive footage of sam actually putting air in his tyre!!!! :P:O:O

full rotation does help. if you're talking about a pedal up thingy.. i go 3/4 most of the time, first quarter stroke starting bad foot up, when pedals are level the front wheel should be lifted, then you have half a stroke to lift the front wheel higher and hop up. tensile are good front freewheel cranks, avaliable in 175mm length if you want. they seem to be pretty good. i like my 175's.

and look what sexy bitch is hosting it :P

oh my god matt you loon, that was awsome. im sure it has something to do with the pikey rides at nass...

i didn't even ride trials when it happened. that sure was a long time ago.

cool... seems like a pretty good place to ride. you're improving quickly adam.. >_<

hahaha, that is one awsome video. mind that tub next time. >_<

the later you brake, the better. landing stuff, rolling a few millimetres, then braking, is smoother, quieter and makes it easier to hold it to back wheel. that tech works fine for everything but gaps really.

i ran out of yellow ones so i had to take a blue.

most shimano hubs have 16.

unless you are a spaz, it should be alright. >_<

try not touching the back brake when you're gapping, lets your legs move a bit more making the whole gapping motion a whole lot smoother and less sketchy feeling.

1. make sure all spokes are similarly tensioned 2. dish the wheel, by tightening the spokes on one side, and loosening the other side. 3. this should leave the wheel dished, but with similar tension in the spokes, as you just moved the rim over. 4. tighten the spokes normally, making sure the rim is true and all spokes are of even tension. keep going at it until they feel stiff. 5. for my tuning, i use zip-ties in the spoke crosses, which feels like it adds some stiffness to the wheel. also, if you snap a spoke, it is held in place by the zip-tie, so it won't fall out in the wheel or get tangled somewhere.
