Basically, I don't know what I want! I rode mod previously for years, and now im coming back into trials. The new 24 comp style bikes really interest me, but I used to love my mod!
I'm also only 5' 5"! I enjoy messing around as well as doing normal trials moves.
The bikes im considering are the echo lite 2013 duel disc, or the echo trial 24 2013.
I love a duel disc mod, the silent flicky fun you can have! But it seems as though you can be in more control and go much bigger on 24s!
I simply cant decide! Tell me your opinions on what you would buy!
cheers!

awesome camera work mate, great control aswell! good riding.
-
how?!?! your going bigger than most people with brakes and you make it look awesome. Utterly impressed. One of the reason i want to get back into trials is to have fun like this, by spinning around and flicking it about! Im going to use brakes mind you, my balls are not the size of coconuts!

Awesome riding Joe, need to get myself a bike and get down barrow with Sir Hutley!

bike in question http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_trials_bikes/echo_lite_dual_disc_2013/c10p11565.html
To be honest, even if they only lasted 3 months like they did for me a few years ago, it would probably be cheaper to buy this bike and replace the forks in the future than build a full custom!
Was just more curious as to whether they had actually changed from the originals!
-
Does anyone know if the newer ones are any stronger than what they were about 3 or 4 years ago?
I had some back when they came out and they snapped like a twig.
Basically im considering buying the echo lite that's £900 on tarty bikes, and unfortunately it comes with SL forks!
Please let me know if you have some new ones and what they are like.
Thanks in advance!

Ok i need a really quick lesson on how to repel girls, i normally seem to do ok but I'm struggling with this one. After reading through some of the epic failures in here it seemed like a good place to ask
just be nice to them and they seem to f**k off soon enough mate

We're all narcissistic, want everything our way, if we're totally into you we're also probably totally into someone else, most of us (well, all of us) are egotists and we often get pleasure from toying with your heads. Hard to get is a fun game, chances are you get jealous alot easier than we let on, and yes, we know that, and yes, we use that to our advantage. Sometimes, we're actually the only ones interested in sex and couldn't give two shits about just how many hearts we're breaking. We're all dicks really, couldn't give a shit about anyone but ourselves. About as far as it goes to be honest, we all talk about being 'deep hearted' but we're just as shallow as we claim to hate.
i like men now

-
why do they say they like you, then you ask them out, then they get confused, then they want to be friend but say they might like you ina little while.....one day they will learn a mans brain cant cope with this confusement...
im litrally spending hours on end thinking wtf, if i try anything with her then i risk loosing her forever, if i dont then she might not think i like her.

20 vs 24
in Trials Chat
Posted
I must confess I am more tempted by the 20", purely because I used to love it and can throw it around and have fun. I could potentially go bigger on a 24, but I'm not sure if I'm going to want to go silly big! I feel like coming back into trials just to have some good fun rather than push myself too much.
And the tyre issues with 24"s did come to mind, although I'm sure a company will make some to fill this gap in the market soon.
Well I'm potentially 65:35 on 20v24 now. I wonder if I shall change my mind before I press the buy button
Thanks for your input
