      What Echo is that?

      By La Bourde · Posted

      I personally don't like the Kenda K Rad at all. I would rather ride a Maxxis Holy Roller. I had a few Kenda tyres (in XC, 4X, Dirt) and even on a street/trial, I did not like them. Too narrow, not so grippy. The small block eight was OK though. Regarding the stem, I will go for a shorter one for sure. The stem on this bike looks like a 20" stem, around 160mm long or even more. I guess you can first try a 130mm long stem with some rise or even less if you want to tilt your bar forward (but there are not so many options around 100mm/110mm) According to me, Magura can hold very well if the whole system is not to stiff. Else, a liminal release of the lever affects the hold. If the rims are smooth but you have dedicated brakepads, you should be good, as long as the rims stay dry.

      Thank you,La Bourde I also thought that might be a Pure one but did not know what MK is.The stem definitely would be changed but i do not know what size might be and that is problem.I hope so someone here would make a suggestion about.The rear brake is HS33 on smooth rim and i have never ride Magura before so i do not know what to expect.Some people says that does not hold like vee's but have more bites.Would see.I am not sure about this Kenda tyre on the back is good or not.Never ride Kenda. If you have some thoughts to share about parts,please do it.Thank you for your time.

      Hi,   I guess it is an Echo pure MKII. I found following geometry data: - Wheelbase: 1085mm - Chainstays: 380mm - BB Height: +55mm - Head Angle: 72° - Reach: 655mm - Frame Spacing: 135mm Ali C. recommends to use a brake booster with the frame (it seems to be the mk1, that hat strain gauge tubes afaik)   The stem looks really long... I think it is a good bike to start riding stock. Quite modern geometry.

      Hello there,i was offered an Echo  bike in good condition but i am not familiar with geometry etc. on this one.As a man who never ride this kind of bike ( i really want to try to learn some moves on stock one) i just wondering would it be good choice for beginner?The rear brake does not have brake booster(has Magura HS33) which is good or bad thing?Also previous owner run long stem but i am not very tall (165cm.),so what stem do i need,if i have to change it(i think i have to)? P.S.The attached pictures shows the bike(the owner did send them to me). Any advice and help would be appreciated.

      Could someone suggest some Improving Techniques for Trials Riding

      By Ross McArthur · Posted

      If its bunny hops up stuff, like walls, instead of trying to hop higher, keep with the height you can currently do, but try and throw in a manual upon landing. Once you're comfortably landing that height in a manual, go back to trying to hop higher again. 👌
