Riding in Israel!

We've sent orders out to Israel before, so it's good to see some of those guys out there doing what they do. Afik Zuriel sent these photos over to us of Team Trialz Israel enjoying some pretty amazing looking whether at some cool spots.

Products and people!

If you want to buy the best BB available, which happens to be the lightest with a standard steel axle and have the longest lasting bearings of any BB on the market, get amongst it.

Also, Danny Macaskill has a pretty interesting interview up on the Herald website. Bit more diverse than the usual sort of interviews with him, so give it a read!

Roadtrip video re-uploaded...

Seeing as Youtube is hassle for some of you people out there, here's a Vimeo link:

Inspired Roadtrip - Ali C and Stan

This is a video that I (Mark) filmed/edited of Stan and Ali waaaaay back in the first weekend of April (aka Easter holiday). Filmed in Aberystwyth, Cardiff, Bristol and London. Hope you like it...

Linky!

Quite spectacular.

Straight from Trials-Forum:

Video!

Quick little edit from last Saturday when Adam and Mark had a quick bash around Shipley Glen and a tiddly tiny ride at Flappits. No music or anything, just put together by Ads.

Flexitime?

Working from home on my week off? Apparently so.

Stan has jazzed his Fourplay up with a new coat of Satin Black paint, the Inspired bashring and a 23t Trialtech sprocket. All good!

Adam Morewood

Adam Morewood has got in touch with us with a link to TrialMag.net where there's a brief write-up of his experience at the B.I.U. Worlds. Good work, Adam!

2011 Magura HS33s

We were lucky enough to be shown the 2-finger and 4-finger HS33 brakes today for release later this year - there are a few obvious changes from the 2005 levers, making the brake much more functional than previously. With a re-designed lever body constructed out of Magura's own material, the actual body itself is stronger than ever, and a totally redesigned TPA means that almost all aspects of the lever have been improved. There are also a few neat features like a re-designed bleed port and a change in the fitting-style of the hoses - when the brake is officially launched we'll be able to show more, but until then these will have to do! From now on, all HS33s will feature a silver lever body with a choice of 4 colours of snap-on lever cover (black, silver, red or yellow), and the HS11s will feature a black body instead.

Most of the HS33s on sale right now have the updated shape slave cylinders, so a few of you might be familiar with them already.

When the brakes are officially launched we will be stocking these new models, and as a result full details with more detailed photos & information will be released on the site as soon as possible.

Stan doing things.

Stan has a few more photos up on his Rider Page. Go and look at him being all black and white.

Atomz Elitis range cont'd...

The Elitis rims are available now. The rears are about 40g lighter per rim than the hOles rims...

Atomz Elitis range

Slowly but surely, the new Atomz Elitis range is going up on the site. Click here to view it.

Also new from Gusset...

The Bastard grips have long been a big seller, and also happen to be Gav's favourite product name. Immature? Us?

Anyway - they're now also available in burgundy and purple to match yet more setups. The purple is quite a nice match with Deng's purple anodised parts. Hint hint.

New from Gusset...

Pivotal seats galore!

New from Conti...

Brand new from Continental - the Trial King and Trial Queen.

The Trial Queen is a combo of the carcass of the 2.2" Rubber Queen, with the Apex sidewalls of the 2.4", with the soft compound of the Der Kaiser/Rain King tyres. 3 way combo win!



The Trial King is a combo of the carcass of the 2.2" Mountain King, with the Apex sidewalls of the 2.4", with the soft compound of the Der Kaiser/Rain King tyres. Additional 3 way combo win!

Downer...

Fare thee well, Rainbow Bike. Moving on to pastures new, and a loving home.

New products and new media!

By the way, I mean "new media" as in "a cool new video" rather than the turdy university academic sense of the word.

Firstly - new products on the home page, as well as some re-stocks of popular older items.

Inspired team rider Sean Watson also has a sweet new brakeless vid out - only a couple of months after his last but with plenty of signs of improvement already. Good stuff!

Gav and Hat

Want to win some stuff?

Inspired Bicycles and Digdeep are offering you the chance to win a prize worth over a £1000!

Lee Quarry

Lee Quarry is approximately as much fun as a barrel full of monkeys. That's a lot of fun, in case you were in any doubt. They've created a little video advert type thing featuring some XC and trail riding, but also some clips of Stan and Ali C. Only a couple of lines, but the video does show some of the other fun stuff there too. There's so many bits to explore - especially for trials - that it's definitely worth a visit!



There's also the Singletrack Weekender this weekend, which features a 3-part comp involving some trials sections, a DH race and an XC race - the catch being that you have to use the same bike for all parts of it. As a result, if you're a trials rider who also happens to pootle about on a "proper" bike from time to time, you're in with a chance... Click here for details.

Big time?

Ali C had to cruise down to London a few months ago to get filmed stealing drinks from established cycling celebrities. This is the result - probably one of the better trials/"stunt" riding related adverts so far?

New T-shirt colours!

New T's are in, although Purple's still available.

Pro-Carbon Racing Downtube Protector

Brand new in, the Pro-Carbon Racing Downtube Protector is a super lightweight way of making your frame last longer. Stan's been (unintentionally!) hammering his for weeks now, and it's held up amazingly well. Just watch the video for proof!



More details available here.

Tarty Days Mini Teaser Video

We hope so!

New products!

As you may of noticed on the TartyBikes homepage we have been busy updating the website with lots of new products.

One of the highlights include the new Neon Bow headset which looks great, is very light and amazing value.

Banners!

We've been stocking Koxx related banners for a while, but we now also have some Trialtech, Inspired and TartyBikes banners up for sale! Great for jazzing up a room or workshop...







...in other news, we've now got the new Echo TR pads in 'watermelon' and 'grape' flavours (or "Pink" and "Green" to use the proper names).
