All you need to do is loosen the shroud nut (the bit that tightens onto the fitting that goes into the cylinder), then you can twist the hose around to wherever you need Tightening the shroud nut back down will twist the hose or cylinder around 90 degrees, so the easiest way to get everything lined up is with the cylinders off the bike.

Looks awesome Christian! Had chance to ride it much yet? The pedals (as all bike parts) are fine as long as you keep the bolts tight and don't smash them into stuff

First off, great post Tim! I agree with almost every point. I think this could be down to accessibility? I know that before I drove, it was really hard to get around to ride new spots/natural venues - relying on parents for lifts (who have nothing to do for 4-5 hours unless they are interested in trials too, hardly appealing to them!)... On the flip side, a train journey lands you in the middle of a city/town and you have riding within a few minutes. My guess is that the average age of 'street' riders (people who usually ride street) is much lower than that of 'natural' riders. I reckon this is for a few reasons but one of the main ones could be travelling issues. Every rider I know who has had the chance to ride a quality natural spot in decent weather with good company has LOVED the challenge, the almost instant progression in their riding and the stress-free atmosphere (no security!)... Anyway, bit of a tangent there, but I look forward to seeing other's replies Nice one!

Without them being PERFECTLY square to the rim (which I can see they aren't from the pics), pads do wear relatively quickly at first - all the pressure/force is on a smaller area than it should be. Once they have squared up the wear will slow right down to a negligible amount. Heat is what wears brake pads down, so don't drag the brake (in an attempt to bed the pads in?) especially at high speeds. I would recommend giving them another week or two without changing the setup and I am 99% sure the wear rate will decrease to almost zero

Definitely. As Bongo said, with some copper grease, the FW should correct the thread... depending on how badly it is damaged. Get a pic up and I should be able to tell you If they are too far gone, we have a die here for cranks so I should be able to chase them over if you need.

A flatlander... It's a flatland bike.

And the rest!

As seen being ridden by Ben Slinger: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=121465 (Although obviously not the very same bike!) Cheers Adam

Nothing I can release just yet.

Your pedalling force tightens it

Differences listed here: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=122800 Looks sweet James, although I already knew that Look forward to some riding pics!

I doubt they will be anything out of the ordinary geo-wise.

Thought as much... don't give me any of this claimed weight crap about the rear hub then :wink2: haha. Oh, and did you get the weight for the rear hub from your scales? As the BMX hub is 370g with axle bolts, washers, lockring and 16T alloy sprocket... then a disc shell is 72g heavier than a non disc shell... Liking the bike anyway?

But we all know that true weight weenies don't use claimed weights

You might need a front sprocket on your cranks to drive that posh rear hub btw :wink2: FFW FTW

£43.99

And £80? Like anything, if you pay twice as much you'd expect to get a 'better' product. Also, is the 7KA (7 thousand aluminium I'm guessing) 7005 or 7075? When a company says '7 series' they usually mean 7005, since the price of 7075 is huge in comparison and would boast about the use of 7075 if the product actually was 7075.

Just a rough surface, what you get when you stamp holes in metal. Nope, why would it be?

Which ones? The rim pictured in the this thread is absolutely nothing like any of Monty's trials rims (well, obviously its round, fits a tyre, can put spokes in it, etc...)... Edit: In fact I'll get a pic

Oh REALLY! I agree, short mod bikes just feel awesome, although I am shorter...

Was gonna say just that
