Looks good. She rides nice too:) Could do with a new rear tire Mike fancy a shogun tire? Ride soon.

Oh, Ok, thanks Sam, good advice .

Ok , sweet, looking forward to it mate. Might as well post it up in here instead of clogging up NMC Ill be sure to look at it and tell you my honest opinion.

Not enough even for a teaser.. Need a new camera man mate. Two clips (I think it was) is no enough for a teaser, perhaps a few more, Six-Seven clips I'd say. So to be brutally honest, no, I didn't really like it, not enough. And the song.. No, i didn't really like that either, Good effort though. More then I could of done, but try again, same clips, but a few more, and ask the camera man to stay still . Alex .

Didn't Craig use his spokes twice on the front, and his came out ok? Well from what I remember.

Personally, I wouldn't wast time grinding it, if you think it's going to snap soon, I feel it would be better for you to just buy a new rim.. www.tartybikes.co.uk is a good site as you probably know, good stuff there, if your buying A new rim though, you will more then likely have to buy new spokes as you shouldn't really use the same spokes twice.. I don't know why, does anybody know why? To answer your question, I don't personally think it will effect it, but it depends how much damage it has at the moment. Edit: Perhaps post some pictures up, it would help you more and be easier for me and other people to help you . Alex.

Hey, about midway through January i baught the Echo TR wheelset from tartybikes, after about a month a spoke snapped on the back wheel, the the next day a couple more snapped. In the past week 4 spokes have snapped on the front wheel, has anyone else had any problems with these wheels? Or is it just me being a fat basher Thanks, Alex.

Should have been more specific, it was the bolt head that was rounded, its all sorted now. In the end i hammered it down the dropout, took the chain off, and then used all my hammering force to bash it out the dropout, took me a few minutes but i got it done:) Thanks for all the help guys. Alex.

Im not bothered about damaging the bolt and spacer, I have spares, I just want it off, so i can go out and ride:) Alex.

How would i make a slit? And its done up really tight, im going to need alot of leverage to get it out. Alex.

Okay, so i got a puncture, walked my bike home and tried to get my rear wheel off. I got the non drive side bolt out no problem, but the drive side bolt refused. All i ended up with is a rounded bolt, a stuck wheel, and a cut finger. Anyone got any ideas on how to get the bolt out? Its an iron or steel bolt in an Echo TR hub. Need help pretty urgently:) Thanks. Alex

Oh dont i Craig? Im confused what was i just out doing.... Oh yeah, i was RIDING.

Hey, i have these forks, have had them for about 3 months now, they flex loads. I dont think there much better than echo lite forks to be honest, they would be good if your a light weight comp rider. Im the complete opposite to that But anyway i would just stick with echo lite forks. Alot stronger and will last ALOT longer:) Alex.

Hey all, got some pictures of my chainstay today, to show you how badly worn it is. Link Alex.

Hey sorry all, ill post some pictures tomorow, too cold to go and take some now. Iv'e cut an old belt up and cable tied it on, its been okay tonight but only time will tell if it works. Alex.

Iv'e got a Truvativ Gigapipe DH, its 128mm so i cant really get a longer one, and with a tight chain its always wearing on the seatstay, i would have thaught a shorter bb and slightly slacker chain, but i have no money, so i need a bodge Alex.

Hey all, had my GU about 3 weeks now, and the chain wear on the seatstay is horrific. Does anybody know anything i could try to reduce or stop the problem? Alex.

Is it? I have only tryed one, what it like having sex with a rabbit then? Alex.

Hi, i have got an echo team stem on the new ZOO! riser bars, its a good setup and feels like sex. Alex.

Well to be honest aarron, i doubt fluro pink rims would look good on your bike, id stick with red. Alex.

I want to order my parts, but i'm unsure about the postage too, might give them a ring when they re open. Alex.

Yeah, erm kieran just said that.

You are a r*tard, why keep saying that? You are a faggot yourself. If you dont have anything useful to say dont say it at all. W*nker. Alex.
