Which is stronger, Red or Blue? Red is like a split link, blue is a normal link (well, a KHE link)... http://www.ison-distribution.com/ison/imag...kmc-unilink.jpg Exactly

It's the shape of the plate that makes a difference. The KHE split links are actually quite good (same shape as the rest of the chain), but the KMC ones are thinner in the centre which makes them more likely to break. The clips can also pop off when they get old, I've seen that a few times.... scary.

Same thing, different name (I'm assuming!?)

ditto. I don't see why you'd use a quick link that's about 10-15% weaker than the rest of the chain... might as well just use a normal MTB chain, save some weight and still risk your teeth.

I'm not gonna be allowed to forget that am I?

Beast, what are Dan and Sam doing over there? Just over for some riding n shiz?

Hang on... that's in Sweden?!

Haha yeah... does it have any nasty diseases in it? Or safe to eat? No worries man, glad you enjoyed it Good to meet some more new peeps! Lol, pretty much... nothing else to do here... Good stuff, any pics/vids? Enjoy it?

Hehe, no worries Got free leftover Chinese for my troubles!! You boys manage to get to Morecambe today? Good ride?

In my opinion (...!!!) that's the best video I've seen of you - it was more like 'clips of a ride, showing it how it was, edited to some music' instead of trying to take it too seriously... riding was smooth and controlled, and the line with the dropgap and then sidehop was cool

Screw on? It's not possible with standard hubs as the thread size is too large for 11T... would work with M30x1 I reckon but never seen one available

I can't remember... it's possible though, haha. I can see how it would work really well, just a lot of effort when you could just whip the grinder out. Might have a play on some old rims this week...

Haha, yeah looking at the results I think I should have been in red... didn't really look at the sections before the start, ah well, maybe next round. Cheers for putting the comp on Dave, all the observers and thanks to everyone who turned up despite the snow. Could have been a lot worse though, at least we got some sun! See you at the next one

I think I know what you mean... hacksaw?

Due in France in around one month, UK some time soon after that. RRP will be around £425. Mega powerful vid, cool

Wellll good, as expected! Some proper big stuff in there... it's unfair how you can get on any bike and look good on it Nice one

Just spoke to Dave Butler, the venue say there is about 1/2 inch of snow there on the grass and some of the rocks but it is melting pretty quickly as it's sunny See you there Ads

Good ride boys, was cool to see some new faces! Random weather but it was pretty nice later in the evening...

Yep, he wants to break the world record this year...

But you could just do the same with IS... produce one caliper, and then put the mount on the forks in a different place? +20mm, +40mm etc... just like post mount does.

Good lad! Now, when you get back on street, everything will be much easier... natural is definitely a challenge and it really improves your riding - I prefer it to street

Ah cool, tis possible, all the ones I can picture just bolt straight on though. Yeah that is true, although in some ways it's just as 'constraining' as IS - you could just use IS at +20mm, +40mm position etc in the same way... Haha, I'm too passionate in my attempt to banish post mount

Didn't realise the tri-align thing was on so many brakes... I've only seen it on Avids you see! I guess 'straight enough' isn't straight enough for me, haha :$ Possibly a bit too much of a perfectionist when it comes to brakes... The only trials forks I've seen with post mount are the new Atomz ones... I just don't really get the advantage of post mount, other than the obvious mechanical one (bolts not taking any load).

I guess I should have added an 'IMO', haha. The reason I dislike post mount is that you can't face it - and I've never seen a pair of forks that are square = permanent pad/rotor misalignment.
