one way to think about it is that the rubber lasts longer than most over soft compound tyres like maxxis and try-all. so you won't have to buy a new one for a long time. If they catch the booster, get mr file or grinder out, it's sooooo worth it, I simply WON'T run any other tyre for trialsy riding.

I would consider you mad if you didn't go for a trials queen or de kaiser. They will laugh at the grip of your rubber queen and put up to more abuse.

rained enough here to make the river level rise by 9ft and flood the main road making the police close it. Bloody rain.

yeah, maggies tend to grip better forwards than backwards, That pad material is also great for bite, but bad for hold (I spent ages looking for and testing loads of compounds before I found that material, so I have a lot of time with it). I found the best pads for hold were the koxx blox browns and TNN LGM and Bealay pads. a booster will also help, but could reduce bite

you have a good eye

haha, took me 3 pages to realise

boo, I didn't notice yours I thought I was being original and witty. But yeah, it went straight over their heads like a 747.

no seen him on here since then, I have forgotten his address, I was half tempted to order a big skip to be delivered to his house or something along those lines.

LOVE the laugh at exactly 3mins. Oh, Benito is good too!

as you said, it was a little shit, the riding was no means big or smooth or stylish and you were definitely riding sketchy and it was the worst vid I have seen from you!* * I may have got my facts the wrong way round

my hero!

lol

I just can't accept the truth

those frames are possibly my fave ever stock frame, they just ride sooo well! That's a nice looking build too, I would ride that* *if I still rode long bikes

I wanted more! good riding as always buddy, thinking outside the box on a few moves there. bet you felt macho in that vest too.

lol, they will last with front hops, not a problem! I got a Trialtech booster to fit with very slight modification (ie, filed the slots a little narrower)

I actually found a singewall rim lasted longer to my harsh riding than a double wall rim, probably because it can flex and bend and then return to shape rather than being stiffer and staying in whatever shape it gets bent to. Also I wouldn't worry about eylets, I havn't owned an eyletted rim for around 5 years and I have never had a spoke pull through or any other problems.

happy with this design

you always were slow Mark

that would be the Echo TR then.

I dislike loud bikes, this includes brakes, chain slap, cables hitting each other, disc rattle and freewheels. slient bikes are sooo nice! Makes you look and feel like you are riding smoother, you don't annoy people and people don't make stupid comments about it on vid topics.

Brakeless isn't like Hot S tyres, or bendy toptubed frames. It is actually super super fun and I am sure there will be a few people doing it for years to come. oh, and get of my case Mark you fanny!

everyone now rides brakeless because it's awesome!

from looking at Damon's past maturity towards his sponsors, I reluctant to help. Though if he did get the sponsorship, perhaps it could be the wakeup call he needs? Out of interest, what would Damon do for Monster?
