Yer i agree, they have reveiws that say they have amazing stopping power. I think the maggies are still better though Ben

Not many trials bikes have gears They are more of a xc feature Ben

vees if i was you i would try the hs33's ! they are great. I couldnt falt them Ben

I agree both the same just one looks more pimp Ben

Yer that is a very good idea, look at some pros vids as well Ben

O was there a post about this... sorry I still say maggies *** Ben

NOPE i saw that article two. I was shocked. Shifting would be amazingly fast but the cost of looking after it would soon build up Ben

Yer i agree with the lightest bikes, moving arms and legs also helps but if you have a lighter front then it will also help Ben

Yer it does thanks, i always woundered what people do to make things lighter Ben

pritty easily if you work it out properly, dont use a mech and make the chain tighter. it will work. Ive seen it done before in the main forum Ben

Yerp good idea plate underneath would work fine Maybe you should just set the back wheel up like a mod Chaintensioner - Shorter chain Then your back wheel will be mech free Hope i have helped Ben

Mission *** Ben

That picture is great, as you can see all you need really is a chain tensioner customized and fitted to the back Ben

Do the new echo brakes live up to there price ? They look nice and seem to have a more advanced spec, they have the same TPA adjustment to the Magura HS33 and neatly hidden away. The weight seems to be very light as well at only 311g per brake, including 4 bolt mounts. The magura is close at 315g per brake, including 4 bolt mounts. The magura was always the daddy of trials rim brakes. Has echo managed to knock it off its perch ? What you say ? The materials is also special fully CNC machined construction (not cast like other rim brakes) makes them super strong and stiff. Magura or Echo *** ? Ben

Take it off, take links out and get chain tensioners that should work Ben

Yer thats what happens, you need to get your balance correct. The right angle and basicaly PRATICE. You will fall off alot and you will flip you just need to carry on get back up and try again Ben

Hey, try leaning back further and really kicking forward Also try looking on www.trashzen.com Great site Ben

True but abit back now there was a topic about removing paint. There is not that much of a need on a trials bike to remove the paint to make it lighter is there ? Ben

Do you think it matters how light the bike is ?? Does it ride better ? Ben

Bye Bye and good luck with your riding Ben

that is gorjuss Ben

Humm maybe try a long 20'' or a 24'' im finding it ok. Learning well and gettin great help of riders round cumbria I used to work in a bike shop thats why i have the knowlage Ben
