Plasmatic used to do a ceramic type coating on DX32 rims (Atleast 6-7 year ago mind!), there was 3 different levels of harshness, the harshest one would make black magura pads work like the best trials pad from what I had heard but they would wear down in a week or so! You could make a mega harsh grind, but it would not actualy be beneficial to brake power, light to medium grinds provide the best feeling and working brake for most conditions, the only time that a mega harsh grind might be needed would be in wet and muddy conditions. And as has been said already any grind will wear due to the brake pad rubbing the surface of the rim. Adam

Obviously the take off is the most important part of a gap, I found that getting to near to the edge of the object a massive benefit so its possible to use the pinch gap technique, where you use the deformation of the tyre around the edge of the object to your advantage to gain extra bounce as you take off. You want to be looking to preload your body just as much as your tyre, make sure that you squat down and then jump upwards not just out, gaining height at the start of a gap will add distance, and finaly when you are getting near your landing push your rear tyre out infront of you and use your legs to absorb the impact. Have a look at this video I made about 2 years ago, there are some good clips of gaps that will show you the technique I use. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dcBHgzaprL0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I hope that helps Adam

Proper awesome vid that! LOVE Megamo's. I always wanted the Equipe Pro dual disc I bet there are LOADS of riders on here that don't know about megamo bikes! Adam

Love this bike, Had a blast on it last week and its soo nice, if only I had some monies! Adam

Looking good guys! Where are those rocks? We will have to meet there for a ride when I am down at easter, although my bike will have an engine Adam

I am sorry, but the rotor is deffinately not in the correct position, looks like the orientation of the caliper is wrong, looks like the rear mount needs to be made lower so that the caliper sits better. Adam

It looks like you need to lower the whole mount abit, the rotor doesn't look like it is siting fully into the caliper. Adam

13,000miles, took my bike down to new Zealand when I was there working for 6months! Adam

Surely the fact that it is obviously private property with a gate and a fence kind of suggests that you should not enter? I know that I would be damn annoyed if people were coming onto my property like that! Adam

I am assuming that you mean the new style HS33 - HS11 and previous versions have been very different! As for the new ones they are basicaly the same, but as said above the colours and the caps that go onto the bodies are different, as for the leve rblade thing, both the HS33 and HS11 are available with 2 and 4 finger blades as far as I am aware, although I think Tarty only have the HS11 with 4 finger and the HS33 with 2 finger at the moment. Realy unless you are a name whore who wants to have HS33 writen on thier brake there is absolutely no reason to go for a HS33 over a HS11. Adam

Deffinately different, but I do quite like it! Whats the geo Ben? I might be able to find someone ride it. Adam
