Hi everyone... What size bottombracket will I need for a t-pro frame? I'm looking at the echo (internal), will it fit?

No it doesn't!

They are so ugly! not sure on the top one being trials specific just because it has "trials wheels" haha.

Anymore trials specific bikes?

Yep, and plenty of suntan lotion ey Mat

Will have to see what time we are getting there, need to find a campsite aswell. As close to town as possible

I will be there, hitching a lift with Mat on saturday and we will be camping saturday night. Anyone out riding saturday night?

Nice Kyle haha... Whats the wheel size on that, I want an idea of scale between the wheels and the bash.

I have ridden both frames and I personally prefer the echo team in terms of geo. So I bought one... Bought loads of really good parts for it and spent a lot of time and money building it but when I finally finished it - it got nicked (see signature). I rode Billocks' Ko and I was surprised that it didn't actually ride as good as it looked. It was way to bouncy for my liking, and I mean bouncy. I would personally go for the echo but its up to you I guess. Just make sure you don't choose a frame just because it looks better or is cheaper. Cheers Jack

Well we don't know if your running a grind or smooth and wether you're using tar so its hard to say... If you're running a grind I suggest some rimjam V3s, theyre great value for money. Heres what tarty say about them: - RimJam have been out of the brake pad market for well over a year now, but this time has been spent developing and tweaking their original designs... the result is totally new brake pad! - New powder coated alloy backings with unique shape allow better gluing area than standard aluminium backings. - This revolutionary shape also gives more contact surface on the brake cylinders resulting in less pad wobble and reducing rounding effects. - The nature of metal backings makes them much more stiff than plastic, giving a much firmer lever feel and great feedback from the brake system. - O-Ring clip feature holds the backings in place, but still allows it to move slightly to prevent added stress on the brake cylinder... this also results in a great sharp-sounding brake! - Totally new pad compound designed for ground rims offers sharp bite with aggressive hold. - 7.5mm of pad material offers great wear life. - 3mm backing recess coupled with Loctite glue specially formulated for use with these two materials ensures excellent adhesion. - Sold as a pair (two individual pads). If you're not running a grind either get one :-p or buy some zoo! pads, great for a smooth rim. Heres tarty's comments on the zoo! pads: - Back by popular demand... ZOO! brake pads! - Designed for use on smooth rims, but can be used on light grinds for maximum performance (obviously this will decrease the life of the pad). - Bright green colour really stands out and matches all the ZOO! parts and graphics. - Assembled into brand new Power Pad backings for peace of mind. You should really use the search though matey.

Mate, get a life. I'm not going to argue over trials-forum, you're in the wrong and you know it.

And here is a classic example of what us here on trials forum call an Alley Rat. You didn't even spell python right in the title. Get your act together... Get validated and then post it in the forsale/wanted section.

Bye Bye, you shall now be banned!

No forsale/wanted topics in nmc!

Probably the best thing to do (I did) is follow this guide... It really does work http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....+magura+pistons . Then give it another bath bleed afterwards; just remember to pump the lever for at least a hundred times. You know when it’s ready though I guess. Also when you put the brake back on the bike try and position the pads perfect. There are a couple of ways of doing this: 1) Put a coin in between the pad and the rim (a small coin obviously) and tighten up the bolts whilst pushing the cylinder against the coin. 2) Push the pads as far in as you can so they are touching the rim, making sure they are flat on the rim ever so slightly pull the brake lever so they pull out about 2mm (then they will be perfectly level on the rim) 3) Just set them up how you like them... About a year ago I made a contraption to help me with magura bleeds, its basically three plates of steel welded together in a 'U' shape with a magura brake booster welded to the top. I then drilled threads into the sides so it’s like the part of your frame where your magura goes. You then clamp this into a vice and pop a rim in the middle (I made sure all the measurements where the same as my frame). Then you fit your freshly bled magura and test it before you go through the hassle of setting it up on the bike.

As other people have said really... It depends on your height and you're build. The most important thing is not to choose either stock or mod just because you prefer the look of one of them. Almost every trials bike in the UK rides slightly different to any other due to the fact that everyone modifies his or her bikes. I started out on stock and because it was my first 'proper' bike I didn't really no what I should have been looking out for when buying it (i.e. parts and damage wise), but luckily it still managed to get a good deal. After about six months my friend bought an onza t-pro and as soon as I rode that I knew I had to go mod. Since then I have had two decent spec mods and I love them to bits. I am currently 5ft 11" and am considering a change back to stock but I know I don't enjoy them as much and I find them much harder to sidehop whereas a mod you can bounce around and chuck them up obstacles, it has to be said that mod riders aren't as smooth as stock. This leads me on to 24" (yet to be given a nickname?). Probably the smoothest riders you will ever see ride 24" and its a great option if you can't decide on mod or stock. www.tartybikes.co.uk now have some good 24" frames in stock so check them out. Cheers Jack

Ok fella. Well I'll see you there, probably see you before that actually. Who else is going from Worthing? I better stop clogging up the forum.

Remember we are coming from further than you though. And we want to ride and get pissed up saturday aswell.

What one are you lot going to Si? Well Mat offered to drive me so I'm not missing out on that, Saturday night will be wicked aswell.

No, I think he is just telling us what he has broken??? How about you get the opening post cleaned up a bit mate. Check all the spelling before you click post and put some more information regarding what you want out of this thread in it. So I suggest just giving it a quick edit (only take two minutes).

Its not that we can't actually read it... It’s just that we all want to get validated and we like to help each other along. And correct grammar and punctuation really helps. People do tend to over exaggerate when someone makes a spelling mistake and to be honest it can be quite funny "may I suggest - looking at the keyboard next time - not just hitting it with a pole?" but often unnecessary.

Couldn't agree more my friend. It really gets on my nerves when you come across riders that take it too seriously. Trials is a sport designed for showing off and having a laugh with your mates not for getting wound up and putting yourself down. Try to think positive about your riding and keep in high spirits. It also helps if you keep an open mind when looking at a line; try not to say to yourself that you can't do it because if you make yourself believe that, the chances are you wont. But obviously no ones superman and trials has its limits so don't attempt lines that truly are too big for you or anyone for that matter. Just remember these factors when you are out on your bike and you should enjoy trials biking to its full potential. And remember, if you fall off and get hurt, just pick yourself back up again, have a 5 minute brake and get back on the bike, if you wait to long you tend to loose you're bottle and wont try it again. Take care... Jack

Yep That bike is mine! I suppose the tune isn't your usual Mosher thing ey. More comments please folks.
