Well, fresh bleed with some trialtech fluid and a bit of oil on the piston and both levers are like a dream again!
First time I've used the top bleed too, I must have got used to shit brakes over the years.
Cheers for the advice all

Try a drop of chain lube on the piston.
Spot on cheers will give that a go

Well after a good few months sat in the shed both my Trialtech levers aren't returning after they are pulled.
Planning to bleed them in the next couple of days but was wondering if there is much that can be done with the pistons etc. if the bleed doesn't solve it? that's assuming its the levers that's the problem.
I tried a search but couldn't see much info
-
Enjoyed watching those.
Some really good lines and plenty of variety. Nice and chilled music but still makes you want to ride!
-
Nice, some good riding there.

Finally stumped up and joined the high BB and front rim crowd. Not ridden yet so fingers crossed I can figure it out..
Cheers @Rossy@Rossy for sorting out

Nice riding.
Looks fairly effortless too. Quiet brakes are soo much better.
Is that an echo mk6 BTW?

Yeah I actually really like it but as bikes have moved on I'm tempted to go higher BB etc. See how I get on.
Just snapped the front lever the other day so more bit to sort. All part of the fun.
Cheers for the offer on the fork but hopefully should be fine

Been getting the the bug back a bit the last few months. Thought I'd get a few pics of the old steed up.
Not so modern but it works

How about trendcycles.ch? They're not EU at least. Mostly echo, jitsie and rockman for bare frames.
Cheers I do like the look or the Jitsie frames but the snail cams make me want to vomit, never used them but hate the idea. Any experience?

Might get some zimmer frames in, they should have decent availability at the moment, but that's about it.
Well it might come to it yet.
-
Cheers for the ideas.
I think I'd rather get some in the UK at the moment, seeing a lot of issues with imports at work so don't fancy getting a frame lost. But might have to if
Is there much due in? @Adam@TartyBikes
-
I've been looking for a change of frame 26" and after putting a massive dent in the downtube it's probably needed soon.
Seems like there's not much available, like the rest of the industry.
I've looked and tarty and trials addict. Where else?

Just found this thread, what a build!
I had a very similar one many moons ago... About 20years ago ?
-
Cheers all. I'll give them a try!

You can still get 36 hole alex DX32's. It's not quite as side as modern rims, but they're strong and work nice
Cheers I might need to go that route if I can get a wider one
-
I've just starting doing some riding again and my rear rim is about ready to die.
I run a Chris King rear hub I bought about 20 years ago which is 36h and I'd like to keep running it.
Does anyone still make 36h rear rims for 26" anymore?

that was a good watch. the editing always sets his videos apart from the rest. bring on the next step i say
-
Is this the same webster who used to ride a koxx levelboss man moons ago. If so ive not seen much of him till lately
-
same vid better quality
crazy for me, as I saw a lot of this being filmed (it was koxx days 2006 if i can remember correctly). Video credits to AndyT, same guy who brought us the Kenny in LA vid and many more
Cheers for that JKH. I couldnt remember it being that bad quality last time i watched it. AndyT original is much more like.
This guy always makes me want to buy a mod! sign of a good rider i guess.
-
After the topic of neil lemon brought back thoughts of the quality riders that have gone off the radar.
Im not a mod rider but Kieta was always a favourite to watch.This is a pretty poor quality video but still good no the less
-
This is an old one but was it neil lemon/lennon?
Definately remember someone on a pashley a few years back in MBUK

Only just seen this one now too, ready it as if it was new news until I read the dates.
I think I have only met you a couple of times including a ride on the rocks at Heysham after work. But like most people if you need a part you head to Tarty's first, including last week.
Hope all is going well with the change of direction and best of luck with everything in the future.
