Rich Pearson Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) Just felt like showing off the new D15C frame from Leeson but havn't really had enough time to make a fully editied video. Eengoedidee Link About 3 and a half minutes, about 34megs, a little natural at a quarry near me and some street riding in bristol and taunton. Full editied video on its way in time (read: before Christmas...) Enjoy, all comments/questions welcome. Oh, and cheers to Alex (Ashton_Rider in new members) for filming me.

Mark W Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Whoa whoa whoa - D15C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 D15C = DISC in Kris Leeson Speak. Same as L335ON 81KES, Kris always used to play around with numbers and letters to make up names and stuff. My frame is a unique (to Leeson) disc frame with specially designed seat and chainstays. I just chose to call it the D15C, because thats what Kris called it. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipkickbs Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 With all that silence your just waiting for a slip, but that brake seems to hold like anything! can't wait for the full vid :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 With all that silence your just waiting for a slip, but that brake seems to hold like anything! can't wait for the full vid :angry: Its weird, but a lot of people I've met seem far too ready to reject the idea that a disc can lock better and harder than a magura. My avid(s) perform better than any rim brake I've used and I just hate that honking noise most maguras have to make to acheive the same kind of power as a totally silent disc. what forks are they?? pashleys with disk mount welded on? kool vid too Yep, just normal pashley 26Mhz forks with a heavy duty disc mount and brace done by clive (with Leeson graphics as well to match the frame). Best forks I've ever used. Thanks for all the comments, glad eveyone liked it. :) Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Any chance of some more pics? And also does the wobble in the rear wheel not bother you? When i had an avid on the back it was pretty beasty but the spoke flex, pad wobble did my head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Thats how it looked when I got it, and if you give me a few minutes I'll get up a pic of how it looks now.

Rich Pearson Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Nice vid there rich ! does alex pavlov still ride ? Pavlou you mean? Yeah, just been riding with him about half an hour ago. Heres some pics of the bike as it is now, i.e, beautiful. New rear rim (Rhyno Lite instead of D521) new pedals (club roost) michelin comp 24, M4 rotor instead of the standard avid, torsion bar's been taped up to match the rest of the frame, new leeson/pashley forks, anda few dents and scratches. Loving it. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Your bike looks well sweet :- Please could somebody who has the video upload it onto a decent server (such as tv.isg) as I have tried four times to get this video and im getting on average 4kb/sec which means it wil take like 4 hours to download 33mb! God I hate eengoedidee so much for vids over 10mb! (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 im very impressed, ace riding and sweet bike (Y) that brake seemed to hold no matter what! also think about what it would be like on a mod :- :P nice one :P Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_P Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Rich you beast! I feggin loved that! My favourite bit was when you tapped that wall at castle park too manual, I was like oooo i hope he does it to manual and BAM! lol very sexy I like the whole silent thing, brakes seems to ber very good and when I had a go it was the best thing to manual since my merlin (Y) Peace and love Rob :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) that brake seemed to hold no matter what! also think about what it would be like on a mod :P Leeson 505D15C, possibly available late 2006, depends if I can rub Clive the right way... Rich you beast! I feggin loved that!

You coming to the indoor round? (if it ever happens...) You can have a proper go then... Oh, and you have no idea how many takes it took to get that tap to manual right. Rowan can do it every time. Me? Once every thirty or so... Rich Edited September 29, 2005 by karsonlevoret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Well when mr tupman gets his ass in gear and sorts it out then maybe we will see but as it stands I dont have a clue if im going or not...as I came fifth and bigman came 4th but can't go due to uni but as it's been moved to october (no doubt it will be changed) then he might be able to go?

Luke Drewery Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Finally got the video! Awesome riding with all round smoothness and style. Ill admit its nice to have a silent rear brake. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Smooth as fu*k The discs seem to work well, and with them being silent, it makes the riding look even smoother. Do you get much spoke flex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
