Ozzy, this is the first time when I really don't agree with you at all. 90g off the rear wheel is a big difference, and if the likes of Stan Shaw have done it say it lasts for them then it should befine for any ordinary rider, unless your a harsh TGS fellow.

It looks pretty smart, I think thats the only gold rimmed bike that I've ever liked the look of, they always seem way too bright. Maybe it's because they are usually on the Echo website.

You've made about 15 topics today, this will not help you get validated, if it does anything it will make the mods not want to validate you. The best rider would be someone like Ben Savage if you asked me. All these TGS riders can only do three things really well. Joking, don't rape me. It's true though.

Go to the seaside, if you look at the horizon way out to sea, you will see it is curved. That's how I proved it to myself.

Dictas are just about the worse, I'd rather have an ACS!

That would be so fit without the blue stuff.

Werd.

The whole point is that you remove excess material, so you wouldn't be weakening your frame. If you do everything that is possible to it, then you can save around 250g. If you buy new forks you could probably save that, if you bought new wheels you could save a lot more. What spec have you got anyway?

Oh yeh, I know my shit! I also found the rockmans too soft, I could feel the bar through them too much, and they wore to fast. The Trialtechs have been great so far.

Maybe he wants a rim that will hold a grind well, and be light.

You could, but it will be the last thing you ever do. If you want a good, and fairly cheap freewheel, get a Tensile, mine cost £35 1 year and 8 months ago, I've rebuilt it twice and it's hardly ever skipped.

I reckon you'd get more for it if you split, around £400 I would have thought.

Linky.

I was going to try and put the Play Thumper video in here, but I can't get it to uplad, it's failed on both forms.

I cut all the way round it on both sides with a hacksaw, so you end up with the inner wall as a ring around the rim, then you could probably just snip it off with a pair of tin snips, or just use the hacksaw, then tidy it up with an angle grinder.

I'm always being mocked for prefering natural riding, it's just I don't kick off when they start pulling my leg.

My gain.

Because otherwise the first thing I would have asked him on MSN was how it was going.

I'm not sure, but I think I'd get one. Only if it will work with snail cams though. If it costs around the same as the Pro 2 that's out now, I'd seriously considor it.

I don't think theres much chance of it breaking on the frame where you've drilled it, it lookes so overbuilt beforehand that it's probably still stronger than a normal frame.

Thats the height of cool!

OK fair dos, won't ask.

Sorry to hear that Jon, I'll try and catch you on MSN if I ever get it working properly.

When I click more pics, I get that same one in a new window? Looks a bit daft if I'm honest.

Nah I've had Rockmans, they're nice, but too thin for me. Only 28mm where as the TrialTechs are 30mm. It's down to personal preference though.
