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?

I think they are cool bikes, the geo is quite old skool, but if you are learning I think it will actually help your riding more than some modern pogostick that does half the jop for you will. They are simple bikes, no gears, vee brakes (which are actually good) and it has a seat.

Highland Cycles are possibly one of the most annoying shops I have ever had to deal with. Good luck getting anything from them.

click here if you want some sooner, they can do any size or thickness you like.

I dont think I can pin it down to just one video, so I'll post the ones that really make me want to ride. Any of Rowans vids, but I particually like this one chris akrigg brakeless Danny Mac's video is still inspiring. Also chainspotting, tricks and Stunts, Revoloution and Evolve really inspired me when I was younger.

won't when get gets the proper technique sorted though, at the min he's making a 4ft gap into a 5ft, making it harder for himself.

cool stuff Ryan, there is one thing thats niggling at me though. You say it's to promote your sponsors (namely Onza) yet most of the photos are of you riding your rockman (there is even a pic showing just the bike). It would look more pro if you could get some higher quality newer shots of you actually riding your sponsors products.

I am not a fan of curved tubes on bikes, but for a home project I am impressed, especially with using carbon as well!

the rider in said riding video is rather well skilled at riding in said riding video

FBI have been contacted

dunno, might get one for shits and giggles

narr, my brakes are coming off again after the next vid

I always thought the moto caliper was the same (but in post mount) a few years ago, but in the last year or two changed the piston size back down.

I agree with Mark, I had the bb height of the Inspired I am riding increased for exactly those reasons

you can't replace the leverblade anyway. It's also a whole new shape with new blade, pivot and material, I am willing to bet it will feel different to the last brake.

liquid rubber (ie what you get in puncture repair kit)

I run around 40psi

you serious? I don't know about you but when I sidehop I don't just boon up.

Eh?

dam, I am landing at heathrow at 11am on saturday, it's cutting it too close for me which is a real shame as I would have loved to have come, I traveled the world with Gav and thought lots of him. Next year for sure though!

could be clever wording though, I am sure Marino never had any frames returned either. Just to confirm though, I am not saying Damon has broken any of these frames

are they stiffs? they also look quite nices without the covers.
