  1. Ace! Keen to experience this in real life when tracks are open again
  2. There isn't much difference, 10mm or so as you say, and newer generally less offset.
  3. We (TartyBikes) list everything that is relevant. Seat angles etc are kinda pointless because you don't sit down
  4. The colour, obviously! Oh and the 2.5 was pretty big and very light. I liked those tyres.

    Not sure if serious......
  6. That was cool. Thanks for posting!
  7. I'm weird I guess, but I think stationary looks better. And it's lighter than a rotating wheel
  8. The fact that water made the brake work again, yet it went crap after drying back up, also points to contamination unfortunately. New pads and rotor is the only 100% proper fix from here. If you do go that route, would recommend Hope Trial Zone V2 rotor and either Jitsie or Trialtech pads.
  9. What have you been 'cleaning' with? Most brake cleaners totally ruin trials brakes sadly, they don't get hot enough to burn off the residues left behind.
  10. I wouldn't say those two things are really linked, no.

    Yeah, first two rounds cancelled at the moment... Sounds good, no bother about being unfit, it's just a laugh
  12. I have some bearings kicking about, give us a call or email at Tarty next week and we can sort something out
  13. Yep, smack one end of the axle with a mallet (not hammer).
  14. Front brake on, back brake off. Push down on the front pedal to 1) jump up and 2) propel forwards. You'll feel the forks flex and the drivetrain load up - use this like elastic to help. Each of those three variations will need a different body position, but weight starts further forward than you'd think, it's an explosive move rather than one that uses body momentum.

    Probably not even the chancellor yet Nah, sounds like it will be based on your 'bottom line' - the total net income, you incomings minus all the outgoings. I too think there will be a few naughty people caught out by this, not declaring cash jobs, putting through loads of expenses etc to keep their tax bill down. It's a welcome intervention, but end of June is estimated date for payments... I wonder how many will go under. I think the above will also inadvertedly (or perhaps deliberately) 'catch out' company directors who pay themselves a low salary but top up wages with dividends (the company has already paid corporation tax at 19% on the dividends, and then those dividends have additional tax on them too, so it's not exactly a tax fiddle), me included within this. It's an uncertain time for all in business, and with all the other shit going on in my life, pretty much the only thing stopping me jumping off a bridge right now is my bike and the fact that I'm extremely lucky to live in a spot where I can get out on the moors without needing to take the car.
  16. I have these, hell of a lot cheaper and work pretty much the same. Require a bit more muscle to get them loaded up, but would definitely buy more if I needed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Steel-Bike-Rack-Stand-Holder-Bicycle-Hanging-Wall-Mounted-Storage-Hook-Hanger/183881733353

    Seems to be deliberately non specific because as soon as he tells a business to close they have a responsibility to help keep them financed. Working by yourself with no footfall sounds fine to me. All of these rules have come about because of idiots and those who simply can't keep distance because of where or how they live. For me, it's about common sense... if you have some, it can be applied. If not then a stern looking Boris needs to tell you what to do.
  18. I don't think tyre choice will affect trackstanding much, keep practicing with what you have

    Agree with Dan! Employers / business have a responsibility to their staff & customers...
  20. Yeah, finish the build, ride it, play with spacers, find your preference, then cut the steerer.
  21. A cheapo V works just fine. Setup, cable and pads more important than the arms themselves.
