Ross McArthur Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Akrigg could take a dump on my chest and it would be good enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) I had actually thought those Trial Tech forks would have pumped his front end up a bit compared to the old koxx forks he used ro run. His geo couldn't have been that bad? He busts out amazing shit on any bike he picks up! Weird/sad. His frame looks proper old school though, I remember back in the Zero/Zebdi/Norco days that the shorter forks of yesteryear always felt better on those frames, low bb, low front etc, might be the same deal. Probably the same reason he has a low bar & stem with barely any stackers compared to your average Hex.

Ross McArthur Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yea that's what I was getting at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 To be fair, with the Hex the reason you have the higher front end is almost exclusively due to the higher BB. So yeah, lower BB wouldn't really be ideal with a higher front end if you're used to a low/low setup. Either that or he just had a ride on ET's Arcade and realised what he was missing out on with sticking to a 20-year-old setup For cereal though, it does suck that firstly he had a bad trip and secondly there won't be some sweet sweet Akrigg trials footage.

Ross McArthur Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 All of this chat reminds me of this video - when Chris didn't get on with his Charge bikes frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashleyfaithfull Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 An Ed Tongue edit would erase 17 years of frustration at how little footage there is of this amazing rider. Had the pleasure of riding with him in 1998 and it was incredible. He inspired my riding style for the following 17 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Been well over a decade since I've seen anything from Ed tongue... Would love to see a new film from him, bummer about Chris but he's not a ghost from the past like mr tongue...good to hear he's still riding.

isitafox Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think the last clip I saw of Ed Tongue was on a Sprung Video Mag (which I had to remove from YouTube ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
