      What Echo is that?

      By basstrials · Posted

      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. 👌

      Could someone suggest some Improving Techniques for Trials Riding

      By Benjonson · Posted

      Hello, I have been diving deeper into trials riding lately and I am hitting a bit of a plateau with my progress. Specifically, I'm struggling with perfecting my technique on certain obstacles, particularly bunny hops and side hops. No matter how much I practice, I can't seem to get the height and precision I'm aiming for. I have watched countless tutorials and tried to emulate the techniques of more experienced riders, but I'm still not quite there. Are there any specific drills or exercises you recommend for honing these skills? Or perhaps some common mistakes to avoid that might be holding me back? I also check this : https://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/171659-your-complete-guide-to-trials-riding-augmentedsnowflakeriding-augmented/   Thanks a bunch for your help!

      Upgrading My Trials Bike Components

      By La Bourde · Posted

      The only game changing upgrade I recommend is a new freewheel with 135 engagement points. If the bikes uses disc brakes and you are not happy with, you can either change the brake pads for dedicated trials brake pads or switch to better brakes (hope, magura mt7 or BB7 if you don't want much maintenance). You can lighten the bike. If your tyres are Maxxis Creepy Crawler, you can get the new Monty tyres, that are lighter. Lighter wheels, titanium bottom bracket, titanium screws, carbon bar, titanium axle for the pedals, lighter tubes (aerothan or other). The lighter the bike the slower you get tired.
