Joe GETS creative...

Joe Maher has got his GETcreative entry uploaded, and it's a near-8 minute epic!  Filmed over 2 days in and around Southend, this video's got a cool mix of big and creative streety riding.  A couple of good crashes too...



Good luck to all our team riders who've entered the comp, and a big thanks to Ben Rowlands for organising it!  If you'd like to check out Flipp and Ali's edits, just hit the 'GETcreative' tag below.

Ali C Needs You!

Ali C needs you!

Ali's entered a video competition being run by JD Sports/Converse.  The top prize is a filming trip to Los Angeles, and a cool £5k of camera gear.  Not bad, not bad...  Ali's uploaded a video of him featuring some clips from the recent MK to BF video, as well as a fresh clip from the streets of Leeds!  You can check out Ali's video here, then click this link to vote.  You don't need a Facebook account - simply click 'Watch & Vote', then hit 'Next' until you get to Page 4 where "Alastaire" is hiding.  Hit the Thumbs Up button and help Ali on his way.  There are a couple of videos with a lot of votes on there, so Ali needs all the help he can get.

New Trialtech blog

The guys (and gal!) over at Trialtech have got themselves a shiny new blog to keep everyone up to date with their products and team riders - you can view it over at Trialtech.co.uk/Blog.

So far there's an interesting interview with Kenny Belaey, some sweet photos of Rick Koekoek and a bit of a write-up about their new team rider, Flipp.  Plenty to get amongst with more updates planned - get clicking!

Flipp's GETcreative Entry

So we posted Ali's GETcreative entry last week - now Flipp's is up!

A fairly quirky video full of ridiculous riding - the size of some of these moves is pretty nuts, especially considering it's fully brakeless...



For more videos, check out our Videos page.  For more info about GETcreative and other entries, check out their blog.

Ali's GETcreative entry

Ali and Mark headed off to Europe earlier in the year for a bit of riding, and whilst over there they filmed this video for the GETcreative video competition.  Filmed by Mark on a 1971 GAF Super 8 camera, and edited by Ali on something a little more up to date, this is the story of Ali's trip:

James Hyland's Sky 2

Team rider James Hyland popped in yesterday to give his Koxx Sky 2 a bit of a freshen up before heading over to the World Cup this weekend in Switzerland.  As well as a selection of new bits and pieces, Cap helped him tweak his setup a little to get his bike running smoothly.  Good luck on the weekend James!

 

Echo bike delivery...

We've just received our latest Echo complete bike order, so for anyone waiting for one of their bike range - they should be available some time next week!  It'll take a little while to unpack it all so you'll need to bear with us, but as soon as they're available they'll be online.

Koxx Foxx 20" bike

We'd had a plan to build up a nice, lightweight comp-spec kids bike for a while, and thanks to the arrival of our Koxx Foxx frames we've had that opportunity!

To check out the full spec, please click here.  The full bike weighs in at 7.5kg with a pretty solid setup.

Mike Steidley wins tenth title!

We're a little behind on posting this, but we'd just like to extend our congratulations to our US team rider Mike Steidley for winning his tenth US title!  This makes him the most successful US trials rider since the beginning of the US championship series, having both more titles and individual wins than any other rider.  All that and running a successful demo team - rather him than us...

Congrats, Mike!

Here's a bit of a reminder of Mike's video from France earlier this year:

Stan Titanium

So - last week we added some shiny bits from a new brand we're importing into the UK, Stan.  They cover the traditional M5/M6 bolts that most other  brands do, however they also offer some more specific products for trials use.  For full details of possible applications for these bolts, more information on the sizes on offer or for pricing, feel free to click the links supplied below.

---

M5 x 16/18/20/25:

Ideal for use as replacement stem bolts, brake bolts or any other M5 application on your bike.  These bolts are great quality, and feature cool looking tapered socket heads that require the use of a 4mm allen key.

---

M6 x 18/20/25:

Suitable for use as stem bolts, V-Brake pivot bolts, disc caliper bolts or axle bolts.  Similar high quality to the M5 bolts, but this time requiring the use of a 5mm allen key.

---

M5 x 10 (Set of 6):

Sold as a set of 6, these bolts are perfect for use as disc brake rotor bolts.

---

M5 Pedal Cage Bolts:

Sold as a set of 8, these bolts are suitable for use in caged pedals like the Echo TRs, Try-All Superlight, etc.

---

M15 ISIS Crank Bolts:

Even lighter than most alloy crank bolts, these M15 ISIS bolts weigh in at a shade over 11g for the pair!

---

Hope Mini Lever Pivot Bolt & Nut:

Specifically made to fit the Hope Mini Lever, this is a direct replacement pivot bolt and nut to save a bit of weight and add a splash of colour.

---

Magura HS33 2004/2005 Lever Pivot Bolt:

Made to fit the 2004 or 2005-style Magura HS33 levers, this bolt helps shed a little weight and keeps your lever moving smoothly thanks to it's half-thread design - just like the original Magura bolt!

---

Magura M6 Barbed Fitting:

 Using the same design as the standard M6 Barbed Fittings used on Magura and Echo hydraulic rim brakes, these are over 40% lighter than standard!

---

Magura M8 Shroud Nut:

Designed to the same spec as the standard shroud nuts used on Magura levers and M8/M6 slave cylinders, these nuts are a good way to help shave off extra grams from your bike's overall weight.

---

M8 & M10 V-Brake Studs:

With a choice of either M8 or M10 fitting, it's possible to run these V-Brake studs on almost any frame with removable mounts.

---

Wellgo MG-1/Try-All/Echo TR Caged Pedal Axles:

3 different types of axle are available, each fitting a specific model of pedal:  The Wellgo MG-1 (and all re-branded versions of that pedal), the Echo TR Caged Pedals and the Try-All Superlight pedals.

---

5mm, 10mm & 20mm Headset Spacers:

A pretty nice way to show off a bit of rainbow Ti, these headset spacers are also lighter than standard alloy spacers!
