  1. The boy who owns the lock up it was stolen from put an advert on gum tree with that picture of Stans echo saying "trials bike wanted, just like this one".

    The guy got in touch within a few hours saying he had an echo with orange parts on it and he lived in X street (just down from the lock up)...so we knew it was Duncans.

    We contacted the police and arranged to meet the guy to buy the bike. 3 under cover cops went and met him, took the bike and busted him.

    What an idiot.

    Pure genius!

    Pleased the bike got returned - i'd be gutted if mine was stolen.

  2. It's bloody complicated but at the end of the day some form of privtisation has to be a good thing - look at the german system - they have a private system that provides way better standards than we have in the uk at a cost per person of less than the goverment pays into the NHS!

  3. Go for an Echo SL. prob the best freewheel available.

    PS. I've got some chain tension/brake mount alaignment issues on my echo control and so my chains running really slack at the moment but it doesn't cause me any problems. I wouldn't worry too much about the slack you'll get from having a slightly eccentric freewheel, just set it up on the tightest spot and it'll be fine. ;)

  4. This - but not quite as you said. I don't know all the ins and outs and history behind the 'conflict', but we once got some ZHI stuff in stock and were told that we wouldn't be getting any more Echo stuff if the ZHI parts didn't disappear off the site...

    Are you sure? This doesn't sound at all like the way the chinese do business. :giggle:

  5. Super clean riding as usual. Top stuff (Y)

    I think everybody on here is aware of how big/clean most of your moves are so it would be nice to see another short vid with some longer lines thrown in. I prefer sub 5 min vid's to most of the 10+ min epics, they always seem to hold your attention better. This of course is just my opinion and i don't want to sound critical of the amount of editing work that must go into some of your longer vids. ;)

  6. When your sidehoping to rear try and look up as soon as you take off, i'm not talking look up to the sky but at least over horizontal. You seem to be looking straight down at the moment, if you lift your head it naturally puts you in a better position by pulling your shoulders back and lifting your arms up. Give it a try-it works for me ;)

  7. If 18-15 works fine for the likes of gilles, giacoma and almost everybody else in the trials world then i think it might just be a question of using the right technique. Keep practising-you'll get used to it. ;)
