    Allot of you will have probably seen a few of this but now it’s nearly finished.

    I will get some better photos when I’ve shortened and clipped the rear hose up and dropped the chain on.  I’ve been giving it a few weeks for the paint to harden off before I put clear tape on the chain stays to protect the paint.

    Hi all,

    As some of you may have seen in the Bike Pictures ection i have just refurbed muels old echo 08.

    I have a small problem in that when the caliper and lever were off the bike my girlfriend thought it would be a good idea to pump it a few times , pushing the pads out.

    No problem i thought i will just push them back, the only problem i now have is that the lever just feel spongy and pulls back much further than it did before. I have checked the resevoir and its full. and when the lever is pulled i can see both pads pushing onto the disc?

    There just seems to be half the power there was before?

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks

    Kieran

    Ah right, doesn't look like you've had to change a lot to be honest, how are you finding the forks? I've only ever met one guy whos had a go and liked them (besides the guy I got them off), everyone thinks they're too flexy, but I always loved how springy they were.

    Just drop me a PM on here or a text if you ever fancy a quick blast, havn't changed my number and won't be doing for a while so should be good. :P

    Enjoy it mate, looks amazing.

    Cheers,

    Nah i replaced the bars for V!Z, had the frame painted and stickered, new grips, new plate, rim tape and new tyres had the wheels painted and just done some little bits like service the freewheel and the brakes.

    Getting on ok with the forks , really good for pulling up now, at first i fell out with them, but adapted my style now and i find pulling up allot easier so going to see how i get on the rest of the summer.

    Cheers mate

    haha, I ALMOST resprayed it myself when i had it but then went stock, I was thinking either Focus ST orange or that sort of green.

    Looks great mate, missing it now but I just can't ride mods any more. :(

    Has the BB snapped? Looks like it might have done in one of those pics.

    Loving it anyway mate, give us a shout if you're working over this way again? Maybe we could go for a wee ride one evening? :P

    Glad to see you're using it and getting back into the sport dude.

    HAHA Cheers matey,

    nah the BB hasnt snapped, i had only just put it in in those pics, fitted it properly after and put the cranks back on.

    Not beeb working up your way for a while but im sure i will at some point.

    Thanks all

    Hi all!

    I'm Kieran and i live in Nottingham. I currently ride a 08 Echo Lite. I have been into truals since i was around 14, I did it solid untill i was 17, then I got myself a car and gave up. After a few months of painting my new house i decieded to buy myself a new bike and get back into things.

    I hope to see some of you off here riding around the Nottingham area.

    Thanks for taking the time to read.
