  1. Hi, so this is my bike

    Needing a bit of advice on forks, recently put the vee brake back on the front and much prefer it but at the moment have got it on vee adaptors so i was going to buy a set of echo vee mount forks, but i wondered if a set of trialtech forks with the rear mounts would give me better braking at all?

    Not too sure on the benefits of rear mounting forks?

    Thanks Scott

  2. Love it, is this the one of ebay, Tunnicliffes ex frame ? small crack on the rear driveside dropout ? (Y)

    Yh it is, but it cant really crack anymore because of the size of the chris kings fun bolts which just cover right over the crack

    Looks flipping lush Scott! Come for a ride soon mate.

    will do mate, just been working loads lately so had no time to ride

  3. oh my god, you rode pebbly beach in Barton and didnt say you was down, Scunny is just 20 mins away aswell!!!! :(

    good vid though mate :)

    Sorry mate was only up for a little while and had a lot of problems with my bike. I ride with some of the barton lot when im up, my nan and grandad live in south ferriby

    I';m interested from an art point-of-view.

    What were the requirements of the video or what synopsis did you give the video to submit is as a piece of art?

    Seems like there's some pretty nice riding in some awesome locations.

    It had to suit the theme of 'journey' hence the video of the journeys in the car, and videos of me cycling holding the camera before and during each section. I made the video in my 15 hour art exam and so had a lot of time

    Thanks for the replies

  4. Hi, had the last of my art exam today and so have finished and handed in this video. Not as pleased with it as i could be, didnt get many clips in the end due to lots of problems with my bike and transport and stuff.

    But hey enjoy

    Comments would be appreciated

    Thanks Scott

  5. So recently cracked my echo urban 4 bolt prity badly so they arent going to last long, so been looking round for a set of 26" forks with rear facing 4 bolt mounts. Echo urbans arent made rear facing anymore, and rockman and trialtechs are ridiculously expensive. The only forks i can find in my price range are neon curve blade 2010s. So just wondered if anyone had ever had a set and how good they were? how long they lasted? etc.

    Thanks Scott

  6. Just do what iv done mate, get a 2 wheeled sprung tensioner and take the pin out of the back so it sits up against the chainstay but because the chain goes round both wheels it stays tensioned, works really well, although sometimes the first wheel teeth touch the teeth on the king

  7. Hi, for my A2 art final piece i have persuaded my teachers to let me make a video of myself riding, only problem was that i still had to choose a stupid topic and the best one i could relate making a video to was 'journey'. So here is my test video (prity much a practise to show my teachers) representing my riding and a journey around my local spots within the village.

    Opinions, comments and improvements would be brilliant as the better i can make this, the better my final grade.

    Thanks Scott

  8. Friend of mine bled his Echo brake with water. It felt really nice, but it leaked at the cylinders. The bleed would literly last 6-7 hours, then it would come right into the handle bar with the TPA on fully. Think alot of riders run the echos lever bodys with magura cylinders. (Y)

    that was me ^^^^

    it leaks on the bottom of the 1st slave, the solution is just just to buy magura slaves which can be bled with water and dont leak. magura slaves are also cheaper (Y)

  9. When you pull the lever do the pistons/pads move atall ?

    yh the brake still works brilliantly as it did before, but the tpa has to wound on all the way

    The people claiming they can't be bled with water are simply repeating what they've read on here or "their friends" have said.

    Only the original TR brakes leaked and that was due the metal shavings inside the brake that hadn't been cleaned out properly.

    I believe Ali C has water bled them without problems and so have I.

    i bought mine off a mate last september and he bought it about may - june time, should that be ok?

  10. As the title says i need some help with my echo tr 2010 rim brake. Went out riding today had no problems, came back and whilst i was fixing the tensioner had to take the rear wheel out, when i put the wheel back in the brake had gone wierd (someone could have fiddled with it but not sure) the TPA was wound on all the way and the lever was still coming into the bar. So i moved the rear pistons closer to the wheel, but still i have to have the TPA wound on all the way :S

    Im guessing that i need to rebleed the brake, but i have no magura oil. I have been reading through topics about bleeding the echo brakes with water and im confused, a lot of people say you cant, and a lot of people say you can. Can anyone give me a definite answer? The brake is about 6 - 7 months old now and has never leaked or been rebled so would it be ok to be bled with water?

    Thanks Scott

  11. As the title says im looking for a video posted up about a year ago now i think, it was about 30 minutes long, and was supposed to be made as a film but the person producing it had given up. Featured a lot of riding in some old quaries and some old mills or something. I remember it had some riding of a person on a zoo python, and the other riding was done on an old school looking stock. Also contained a lot of different camera angles like under the frame and on the handlebars etc. Hope that all helps.

    Can anybody give me a link or know the name of the video?

    Thanks Scott

  12. Just built my new stock, zoo! pitbull 09, was just wondering what gearing everyone runs? Im running 18/15 but it feels too low but im not sure, just thought id ask what others run. Also, rear brake isnt particularly sharp and also doesnt make any noise which i find wierd, im running an echo tr rim brake, with onza lime pads, on an echo urban rim with a harsh grind. How can i improve the rear brakes sharpness, and make it squeak more?

    Thanks Scott
