  1. That Ben Slinger video where theres about 3 megamos been ridden. Cant find it on youtube. Might have to upload it!
  2. Yes please if its not too much hassle!
  3. I don't mind going with something that doesn't look good as long as it works 100%. I'm just waiting to get my hands on some spokes to give it a go. I just wondered if it was worth the effort seen as I can't think of anyone that uses one anymore.
  4. I cant find any for sale from shops and they look pretty ugly. Kind of the same tensioning as a spoke tensioner by the looks of it so I would rather go with that if I can.
  5. Do you not find The chain rubs on the chain stay/protector when its pushed up? Ive used a rubber wheel tensioner before with zip ties. It stopped it skipping but the tension wasn't very good and it rubbed on the chain stay. The zip ties always stretched and I want to get away from using them. Going in and out of the car when the rear wheel needs to come out to fit us all in is a hassle I don't want anymore.
  6. I'm running 13/18 on the older frame (2010?) at the moment and haven't really found any of the tensioners to be any good and I'm kinda of wimping out on going down the file dropout route. I've thought about trying out a spoke tensioner but a lot of the people that used them before don't seem to anymore so I was wondering what the disadvantages of it are? I seem to remember people saying it couldn't be used on small sprockets such as mine? Whats the best way to attach one? I don't really want to go ahead and file my dropouts but if I do decide to has anyone got a picture of theres for me to follow? or any tips? Thanks p.s. How long till a brakeless horizontal dropout Inspired frame comes out
  7. Is there much to ride there anymore? Used to ride there a lot back in the day but I seem to remember most of the good stuff has been flattened over.
  8. paypal Don't pay as a "gift" unless you know the person well as you don't get any protection then.
  9. LIKE. The clips I've seen on FB have been cool to see. Looking forward to a full vid!
  10. That was really cool! not seen it before. Where is that place again? ....... bay?
  11. awsome! was hopeing someone would give that a go
  12. Nice video guys! Paul still looks odd on a mod but he's riding it well
  13. I was all ready to say cap's riding has gotten a lot a smoother since the cap/matt video, but then then "extras" came on Great riding from both
  14. Fair enough! Carbon would go well with this colour
  15. Looks nice! What happened to the carbon top tube frame? Prototype conti front tyre? I cant tell if its streety or just a really worn down mountain king.
  16. I more meant some proper sections for the Sunday comp. It would be easier to implement at Radfest with the land been flat and artificial objects. Blue route even. I understand that it might not be plausible for insurance reasons though. I'm still looking forward to the weekend whatever. Was annoyed I couldn't make it to the last one. I might try to persuade flipp to make a team with me for the speed trial this year Anyways back on topic. Liking the look of this year. Ill hopefully make it to a few
  17. Its fine as long as it has brakes! It would be cool to see some brakeless sections at radfest though
  18. Ive got a Gopro that Ive barely used that I will let go for £150 + postage? Its the helmet hero and I got extras of both sized tube clamps, tripod mount and an extra head mount. Pm if interested!
  19. Brilliant update Was a good read. Hopefully It will make people understand a little better why we ride ( ) brakeless. I'm going to go enjoy 5 videos in a row now
  20. There pretty good as long as you remember its there. Ive knocked Dans off quite a few times This was filmed with one of them. Not sure on the camera though.
  21. I'm pretty sure to stay at the top like Kenny does he has to push himself in his training so I don't belive for one second he "makes everything first time". If Danny brought out a video of stuff he could make first time it wouldn't be as spectacular as one where he had to put the effort in to trying it over and over again till it was made.
