hi there I own a saracen excell lol i know i know. Not very trials like but i got it for free and i have been bulding it into a sort of half decent trials bike The thing is the mechanger on it was in two pieces so i had to make my own Fun job lol anyway i made a pretty decent one today at college it has came out exactly like the origonal apart from its in one peice lol can anyone give me an idea of what tensionor to get please its for a stock bike thanks

I have a saracen the amount of crap that they put up with is great so i think for a begginer a saracen would be great having said that i havent owend a mission bike so dont realy know what they are like

If you dont mind adding an extra £20 to your budget i would definatly get the echo pure Description - Updated for 2007, Echo's Pure frame is based heavily around the popular 2004 Control frame. - Full 6061-T6 aluminium construction keeps the cost right down while still maintaining good strength. - Silk brushed finish looks classy and helps resist scuffs and scratches. - CNC Machined dropouts and chainstay plates help stiffen the frame and provide large weld areas for the tubes. - Top and down tube gussets at the head tube direct stress away from the ends of the tubes, improving frame life. - Comes complete with CNC machined low-profile dedicated 4-Bolt HS33 mounts spaced at 99mm, allowing the frame to accept even the widest of trials rims. - Low standover height allows for maximum body movement. - Takes standard 1 1/8" headset, 105mm long head tube and 68mm BB shell. - Weight: 1.918kg/4.23lbs. Geometry (When measured with Echo Urban fork, available separately) Wheelbase: 1075mm Chainstay Length: 385mm BB Rise: 20mm Head Angle: 72 degrees Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 660mm (26") from tarty bikes

Hi there from what i have heard yes they are good but personaly i would go for magura hydrolic rim brakes as thats what everyone else seems to be running I have maggura hs33 front and rear and i think they are perfect because they are exceedingly light and have excelent stopping power hope that helps

Im 16 and have just started riding trials

i dont currently wear one but im definatly gonna buy one soon i do want my skull intact

thanks alot for your help. much appreciated =]

thanks for the advice

im looking on ebay and tarty bikes for some rigid forks What ones does everyone suggest. not too exphensive please. thanks

thanks everyone . i think thats all conclusive then. maxiss it is then. thanks for everyones help

wow thats sounds a good bike. jokes. hahaha! what a fool this person is.

thanks very much i will have a look for them

thanks for the advice, i will price em up

hi, i need some new tyres for my bike 26". My mate suggested maxxis tyres becuase they are good for the money. I Dont want to spend awful amounts of money on a pair of tyres. So can anyone suggest some decent but well priced tyres. Thanks alot

oh my goodness. They look so much better than the maggies. But like alot oth the people on here have said. We will have to wait and see wont we. I think maggies will still be better and if they arent, magura will make better ones.

Personaly i prefer Longer frames. I find them so much easier to ride. Although I dont see awful amounts of difference in the size the ride is alot better personaly. I Think the magority of designs on the longer stocks look nicer than the shorter ones, for instance i love the look of the echo control. Definatly think you should get a longer frame mate

My friend had echo urbans for a while and thought they were great. Typhoon's are good though, I would rarther the echo urbans to be be honest

I got given my bike. its getting there =D. but i am currently converting it to single speed. I have spent £35 on some maggies Im getting a new mission drilled front wheel for £20 I bought a salt half link chain - £13 And when i have the time im gonna build up a back wheel- some form of hope xc built onto a sun rhyno with sapims.
