walker Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Great review of the bike!I just want to reiterate the stability on the back wheel and the stiffness of the back end.However, I completely disagree with the 'need' for a booster. The intergrated booster design is very stiff, yes you could intruduce an extra booster if you're not completely satisfied, but I dont see any need for one. I am very happy with my rear brake, it works really well and there is little flex.Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) If you've been keeping up with Tribal Zine, you'll know that the TriAl' Cup is a new four round series set in France and Switzerland in which riders from France, Belgium and Monaco compete against each other. The first round was run alongside round 1 of the Rhône-Alpes cup, which took place in Chambéry on the 26th of April, and the 3rd round was on the 3rd of May in Ropraz, alongside round 1 of the Swiss Cup. Full write-ups of both rounds and a sweet collection of photos can be seen here. Edited May 15, 2009 by Ben Swales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hegedus & Stefan Laszlo, Adam Erdelyi & Bogdan!To hell with it, is Hegeds a surname or name? And what is Laszlo or Erdelyi? And for that matter, are Hegedus and Stefan brothers? If Laszlo is a surname, then Hegedus must be a name? Hungarians have the most awkward names and surnames ever. And apparently in Hungarian you first say the surname, than the name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hegedus is his first name and Laszlo is his surname. I'm not sure if he and Stefan are brothers, but I've always assumed so. Adam Erdelyi is the current Hungarian 26" champion, who came third at Mikolsc, behind Hegedus and Stefan Laszlo, who may, or may not be brothers.
