  1. The koxx headsets are THN Industries. Cheap. I've used one since I got my coust, last summer. No problems yet, just that it doesn't spin very smoothly. I don't barspin much though, so it's OK. Also, it was the lowest stack headset I could find, so I bought it so I could use my Echo forks which I had cut the steerer down loads to fit my previous ride, which had internal headset and shorter headtube. All in all a decent headset. I definitely would have gotten get something more expensive and sealed if it wasn't for my headtube length, but hey.
  2. FSA Platinum Pro DH after about 6 months.
  3. Konig = König without the dots. König = King, in German. I think?
  4. ...which will start creaking after 10-12 months. I got some smartguys to replace my Urbans, and am impressed so far.
  5. good luck finding a 2.1" maxxis highroller/minion in 40/42a. tryall are skinnier than maxxis and i can't really fault mine. they don't fold at all on thinner rims.
  6. Vincent was present, but not allowed to compete due to not having a license, or something stupid like that. Results will be up in a few days I think. Slinger had 4 dabs totally, winning with 11 less than the 2nd place rider if I remember correctly.
  7. ta ett steg åt sidan = take a step to the side (swedish) and she replies in french! she's lying to you ads (Y)

    Posting And You

    Repost. You should have watched and followed instructions before posting this, ironically enough.
  12. Mineral water companies like Vittel, Evian etc. make millions a year? (Y)
  13. i like my ffw. deore hub - about £15 fixed acs freewheel - about £15 i already had the threaded crank. it's cheap as chips, and works. as long as you're not retarded and don't service* your freewheel, it's going to kill you. just like those fancy hubs with heavier price tags than hubshells. *service = tighten the lockring every other month.
  14. it takes less time not using transitions at all :D i dont hate the video, not at all.. just room for improvement in the editing. :P
  15. stop fading every clip in and out to black. it pisses me off and makes the video look very 'collage-y' instead of a properly edited piece, which should flow. throw out 90% of those transitions and it'll seem less choppy. fades from and to black can be used to tease or to finish something (or just to add variation) but I don't think they fit everywhere. riding was good though?

    24"

    Curtis, Leeson, Ashton. Use the search function.
  17. my pivot bolt fell out, so I took the spring out and put the bolt back in. it kept falling out, so I replaced the lever.
  18. it will not work in the wet. seriously, try splashing a bit of water on the rim of a bmxer. he'll kill you, 'cos you ruined his brake completely. Grind > *
  19. it is all in your head, a light bike doesn't physically make riding that much easier. but trials is all about the mind anyway, so a lighter bike does improve the learning speed and et cetera.. It's all about placebo.
  20. XTR > * My xt broke. The pivot bolt kind of fell out.
  21. A good booster definitely help improving braking power! A good booster and a well-adjusted brake gives lots of power, even with smooth rim and or cheap pads.
  22. I like the long wall sequence aswell. Continuity (right word? kontinuitet in Swedish) seemed well planned, as you could clearly tell it just changed camera view. I'd have cut a bit earlier though, as you leaving the frame feels a little bit 'confusing' compared to drama series for example. I really like the video though, nice one! Beats the usual fade in/out/over videos...
