  1. Agree with you 100%. 4x wheel is very stiff and strong, each 182 mm spoke weigh only 4,5 gr. (144 gr. in total), so you will save not much grams but will gain extra durability. Thanks to you all guys!
  2. I had no other choice than buy 182 mm DT spokes. It's rather hard to find right length spokes here.
  3. Hi guys! I have an issue with such complete on a rear side of my mod: Hope Mono Trials+TryAll Nowar rim+Rockman Bub Disc. Wheel is 4 crosses laced both sides. The problem is that I've changed my Avid BB7 to ordered from Tarty Hope Mono Trials disc brake, and after mounting everything together I've found that Hope's caliper are rubed by spokes. There is only 1-2 mm space needed to solve this issue but I do not know how to proceed with it. As for now I've ordered +20 mm disc adapter (last resort), but I wish to use 160 mm disc though... Does anybody know how to fix it?
  4. Patent for moveable by internal combustion engine vehicle and Patent for television and wireless communications (all types).
  5. I thought it would be better then flatten side outwards.
  6. Off: Thx mate! Actually it is sold... The frame has been sent to Denmark. Anyway, here is some additional photos to look: Triton Deema (Shy D. Ed.)
  7. KMC Kool Chain (710 or 810 I do not remember exactly), no problems were found, BUT there was a little issue with bottom plastic sprocket. After two weeks of riding I have found, that it was cutted in width by chain. So it it is better to reduce a little width of sprocket with use of rasp or something similar before set up new chain.
  8. Hi guys! Just wondering to save some additional weigh and looking on my new rear Hope Trials I thought that could minimize its weigh by using kevlar based hose. Is there any experience on how does it work, better or worse than SS version, stiffer or not? My first Hope Mono Trials been supplied with kevlar hose but brake has been manufactured in 2005... And keeping in mind that all Mono Trials breaks has bouncy levers it's rather difficult to catch a difference in a hose work. Your help is kindly appreciated!

    Powerballs..

    Ahahaha, guys I bought the same for 100$ in Russia couple years ago. It just a blinking toy with all of those 'lights' inside . Mentioned as a wrist training thing... LOL Actually I got a record of 11500 or so and after 5-6 times shows to my friends it was left in dust for ages. Not worth to spend a cent on it, but only if your goal is to draw chick's attention with lights.
  10. Nice bike, looks very good!

    Triton Ti barends

    From the album: TP

    The last brand new Ti barends from the first manufactured lot. Was presented by me to my friend on a BD.
  13. Vodka will not lube everything inside magura brake... but will dissolve any lube inside. So I personally do not suggest you to use it. And of course Vodka will vapour out leave water inside. I read a lot of info according to filling maga in cold weather and best one method is using Citroen mineral oil ELF LHM+ (freezing point -20C). Hydraulic liquid (mineral based oil) of green color.
  14. Very cool! Relax and watch this crazy show!
  15. I can post some pics and specs of mod bike which weight is 8.0 kg
  16. I am riding mod bike based on Echo Team '09 frame right now and its weigh 8350 gr. In the past there was a stock Triton Deema Shy D. Edition with ~11 kg (heavy as hell...).
  17. Unfortunately, I just a 'man-that-knows-where-to-search-required-info', but anyway, yes, I can do that thing.
  18. Look at my post here: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....t&p=2054680 There described one additional type of frame protection.
  19. I don't know whether you have this glass-fiber fabric and epoxy adhesive (plastic glue) on the market, but we're in Russia have it. Here is an example of how it will looks in the end: One PUSH IT! Second PUSH IT! It is a "sandwich" of glass-fiber fabric and epoxy adhesive. Firstly, you should make a decoy for all layers (with a little margin, it will cutted later with ease), after that you need to cut as much layers as needed to fit in 3 mm height. Also you need to use a PE plastic to cover your frame to prevent it from glue drops. And one major thing left, you need to SECURELY FIX PE film on the tube with duck tape. If you will have any questions, ask me, I will try to explain everything. HINT: If you'll make layers bended up to 3/4 of down tube diameter or little less, guard could be clamped on a tube and declamped when not needed.
  20. I preffer to use a bashring on a mod. I really don't like how bashplate looks, and its weight... As above said it also could brake/damage a frame when you landing on bashplate after a gap (for example).
  21. Thanks! (There will be some weight saving changes provided in couple months. And BB7 rear side will be changed to Hope Mono Trials. Just for saving those 150 grams, rear BB is rather good for me. Solid lever, strong holding of a disc even when it is not polished yet. Keep in mind that I'm 85 kg dude, rather tough... I have a possibility to compare both '06 and '08 years BB's and actually can not find any differences in its work, but '06 caliper with adapter has 27 grams less weighе than '08 same conditions.) Thanks! I've changed front CC tyre to one of those cheat tyres from Schwalbe, and both with inner tube I've saved !410! grams just on a "rubber" .
  22. Just bought new front tyre Schwalbe Mow Joe 20", what can I say... great weight reduction, awsome look, grip, folding bead. Cheaper than TryAll x2 times. Been tested at -16C, snow riding, no cracks, still good grip with concrete stairs even when tyre covered with snow.
