Laurence--Trials Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3397/bicisaltarbascula.jpg Fairly old picture now i think.. the only thing im pretty sure no one noticed.. is the weight. Look at the skales(spelling) above the bike. Sorry if people have noticed, just thought it might be worth pointing out. EDIT: just zoomed in and noticed he has a grind on both his rims Edited December 30, 2010 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Probably ground them to make it lighter. Pretty gay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm waiting for these weight weenies to man up and stop using grips to save weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger allen echo Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Thats a fairly recent picture.. saw a video a few weeks back and his bike looks practically the same Edited December 30, 2010 by ginger allen echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Would dual vees get it sub-6.5, do you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315r Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) This pic is pretty new, this bike is builded just for jumping contest. In this case, I don't know why they have front brake.... Anyway, the weigh of the bike is amazing. Probably ground them to make it lighter. Yes, this is the reason. Pretty gay... Why?

Daniel Gray Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I reckon that's a bit too light, I like to feel the bike below my legs aha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what guiness world records are like, record probably wouldn't count if you only had 8 spokes in each wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315r Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) You know what guiness world records are like, record probably wouldn't count if you only had 8 spokes in each wheel. Yeah! But I' don't know if this bike is specifically for Guiness World Record or just for "general jump contests" or performances. In this case maybe needs the front brake to do other tricks...

RossMcd Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 In this video he rides on slicks, too: That video makes benito actually look like he is having fun riding. In all the competition videos he looks like he doesnt actually have fun and makes it seem like all that matters is winning. I dont really like that personally. But that video was different. And More fun to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 normally I would take the piss about weight saving too, but this is justified, Benito is the best in his class and the weight saving will actually help in comps rather than some kid just riding in the streets. The bike is very....silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I imagine not, then again I imagine in Spain they don't have many wet logs and if he was to enter a comp with the potential for wet logs, he wouldn't run those tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gage-mann Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 in that video he's riding slicks in the wet on round rails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 In all the competition videos he looks like he doesnt actually have fun and makes it seem like all that matters is winning. The two highlighted parts are fairly intrinsically linked. If you're sponsored to ride at the highest level in the world, and expected to win, then you've got to be pretty on it. If you're training year round to win comps then it stands to reason you're going to be focussed on winning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
