not too much in all fairness Darryl going for a nice ride with everyone today, first impressions are good so far

Hey guys! after 8 months off and then deciding to get back up riding again I bought myself a rockman slate but after a few rides it cracked so I got my self a pure 2011 at a steal of a price with headset and bb for £40!! So here she is all built up. Spec is: Echo pure 2011 frame Trialtech disc forks Sl headset Tarty stem Monty 221 kamel bars Front mavic Ex721 rim on hope gold disc hub Rear Echo Sl hub on Tr rim Echo Sl freewheel Zhi drilled cranks Onza hognesium pedals front BB7 203 rotor Rear Maggie with4 finger lever, heatsink yellows Bike rides nice nothing to do at the moment apart from ride comments welcome.

That's what im thinking, they might be slightly too big, because the trialtech steerer in beefy as hell hahaa . Where would I find a tap big enough

Hey guys got my new frame yesterday I went to install my forks etc put the stem on and went to tighten my topcap. It was too easy and I noticed it pulled the star nut out. Now I know trialtech forks have a threaded steerer so I was just going to but a replacement threaded topcap but the star nut that was in has ruined the threads inside ive tried to hammer 2 new star nuts in but have completely destroyed both of them and have no idea how else to go about it. Its not the hammering that destroyed them as its always worked for me in the past, they just keep snapping. Any help is appreciated Thanks, Alex.

Looks lush pal, can't wait for my 2011 pure to get here

Looks like the same colour as his girlfriends, maybe left over paint? Should have left it white, would have looked the tats and a decent spec aswell

Is also good if you're out on a ride and you buckle your wheel, you can re true it and continue riding, or just kick the hell out of it or use a hammer as most do

Its soo easy to do, what the worst that can go wrong? just un-lace the wheel and start again, I love building wheels, got soo bored one day when the weather was bad I unbuilt my front wheel just to swap the rim for the exact same with without a grind hahaa. once you're confidant with building wheels you'll never stop

When I ran dual saints on my 320 they were the adaptors I used and had no problems

I know spray paint was suppose to work well, I wouldn't use it though, what hairspray are you using? have you tried putting the right grip on the left to see if its the grip at fault? may be a faulty grip? Lynx always used to work for me.... Or double sided tape on the bar, wet it so the glue becomes slippy then slide the grip on, every time I used to do that i'd have to cut the grip off once everything was dry that is

Appreciated Adam

Also interested

Yeah at first I thought it was an onza bb but ill put it forsale and see what interest I get cheers for the help

Buzzing for it this year, bought my ticket last year and sold my bike 4 weeks before I went -.- got a new bike now so will buy my ticket in the next week

Hey guys pulled my bb out of my rockman today didn't know what it was when I bought the bike and cant find anything on the net under KB bottom bracket but that's the only brand mark on it any help appreciated, what make and sort of price new are they as im looking to sell Thanks in advance guys, Alex.

Still love these frames sooo much :$

WANT!!!!!!!!!!

I think tarty used to say around 5ft7 was the smallest height to go on a stock, im also 5ft8 and recently got a stock id say aslong as its quite a short wheel base you'll be ok, i love mine to bits but as said above try a mates and see, even if they are heavy if you like it then build or buy a lighter one hahaa

Only on more tgs rigs most new inspired etc are running dual disc

Same as above realy. Ive ran both maggie and disc on a mod and prefered dual disc by far! Was running top spec maggies 4 finger levers, tnn pads all round etc and then upgraded to Shimano Saints and would recomend them over anything!! I had a few problems to begin with but eventually they worked and they worked WELL!!! Only had maggie on my 24" but from what i remember it worked well. Again good pads with a gind etc worked well. More people are running dual disc on their 24's now adays. My current bike 26" front disc (avid bb7 with 203 rotor) works too well hahaa and rear maggie, 4 finger lever koxx red pads on a very dead grind works good, quite surprised actually grind is pretty much smooth and the brake still works very well.

saw his knee on facebook last week when he fell off looked soo bad

Dont know if anyone has asked and i dont have time to read through everything but how much did the frame build cost? im thinking of getting one made (i know the price wont be the same but it'll be a rough guideline) Bike looks good man

Try-all lite cage pedals - Cracked Rockman Lite cranks - Cracked Echo lite forks 09 - Snapped Echo Urban 09 forks - Snapped Rockman Front non disc hub - Snapped Rockman Slate 1 frame - Cracked (ridden it 4 times -.-) Try-all hOle rim - Dented Many snapped bolts and spokes

Yeah though so need dan to reply but think he's at work ahh well ill have to stay in and wait till 5:30
