  1. stronger than most plus the bash and sprocket combo is lower profile than the other options. Steel cranks open up other possibilities like crank slides and junk.
  2. I put mine on just before I did two months of demos every day for nearly two months which involves a 10ft and 7ft drop multiple times in a show. My bars were a noticeably different shape after the shows. This year I had my arcade bars on for an even longer demo tour and they lasted fine and I'm still using them now.
  3. you go and start your own company and get your frames made to a high standard, low quantity and a good price and then tell us what should and shouldn't be faced for what price. I'm fed up of you telling everyone what should and should be done when you've been riding trials less than most. and have no clue.
  4. I run about 45psi, with Maxxis and around 40psi with Contis I run my bars in line with the forks, makes bunnyhops a lot smoother then. Yeah, seat angle needs sorting
  5. actually ridiculous! Ive ridden there hundreds of times and know how big that stuff is, Jacks level is un-real.
  6. my saints are 4 years old (and second hand) and have never been bled.
  7. I hate the new short levers which is why I'm still running the older style brake. A trialzone for street will glaze over pretty easily from my experience. You'd be better off with the 4 pot DH brake (although they have too much pad wobble for my liking) I've ordered a new pair of MT5 brakes, might mate them up with my saint levers to get the advantage of the servo wave. If the other MT brakes are anything to go by, power shouldn't be an issue
  8. I had a prototype of that rear hub on multiple bikes for over two years I think, never had a single issue.
  9. DJ riders don't have to muscle the bike around as much as BMX or trials though, they just go fast and the ramp does (most of) the work. Saying that, I ride shows with a DJ rider and his bike is just under 11kg, he really hates the wind though. BMXs are generally not that heavy either, ~10kg seems to be fairly average for a street setup. I'd be after a less effort for hops and spins than any potential stability a heavier bike might add.
  10. serious backwards manual skills! Loved it!
  11. perhaps needs a little quality control on some of the lines but otherwise very enjoyable, he kept some good flow and I loved that front wheel work on the banking
  12. so so gutted I have a clashing demo I really wanted to go and try and blast around Blue (or maybe Red) route as fast as possible
  13. never had a single issue with mine, Danny's never broken one either
  14. The reason I use/used them is because of the extra stiffness they have and reduced chances of bending. The alloy versions are actually heavier than the steel ones too.
  15. think I'm on 30 or 35mm of spacers, but my stem steerer clamp is quite tall, if I was to run a Hope stem which is shorter I'd be closer to 40mm of spacers This is how it looks
  16. good riding, awful editing
  17. loving it, more mod riders going streety the better, I'd like less oppo spins and bitch cranks though....as usual from me
  18. yeah I use a 70x35 but the arcade has a long reach so its roughly the same feel as a fourplay with a 90x35 stem.
  19. exactly like that. Yes it's still good for trials, lets be honest with chainstays as short as they are bikes aren't exactly hard to backhop are they?
