Brisa

Ali, I use a truvative 110mm 5deg stem with some koxx bars and I think its great. It ticks most of your boxes and looks very nice indeed. Ipaid £26.99 in bikedock for mine. Called a Truvative Team Here is some poop quality pics of it, the bolt on the rear has never caused me a problem as its fairly well rounded. Taken specially for you Ali

My Brisa rode like a tub of cack... had it for my first year of riding and learnt a lot but was generally very hard work with 45mm bb drop!!!! (with most forks). I trust echo I would say, I ride one now and have had echo/zoo's for my last 3 frames. The best thing I would say about echo is thier forks... I believe without them I wouldn't trust my bike. I had an accident involving some orange trials forks a while back and then a set of lite guys a few weeks after (basically as soon as started riding again) The orange forks caused this.......... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Brisa/Image013.jpg So now I won't ride a fork that doesn't have a stupidly thick alloy steerer welded to the crown! Echo produce these so I echo

Over here in Belfast I have heard of people bump into the back of your car at traffic lights, you get out and a pack of joyriders kick the fanny out of you and steal your motor.

Best to give them a call, I live local so just pop into the shop. Also when my friend was getting his they suggested a profile, they said they fit MTB too.

The DMR (saturn?) rings definately fit MTB chain pitch. Think there may be a BMX one also so best to check before you buy. A friend got his from Bikedock.

If the wheels are the correct offset with the right size tyres you should get away with 60mm but it will be harsh as f**k! A guy from college has his dropped 55 all round and has no scrubbing but its not comfertable.

Why not stick it out, I know you probably want freedom etc but with the A lvels you will have something to fall back on.. You can also go to uni and go as far away as you like... if you have the a levels to get you into one. I am just in the last year of my a levels, no intention of going to uni at present but if I want to I know I have that option with the grades im currently sitting on without even sitting the rest of this year. Its nice to be able to if you ever want to... It will save time later on doing some cack access course when your 25!

In the last year or less I have had: 1065 levelboss Curtis Pitbull 1085 Hifi And now a control ('04 1065) I changed frames so much because I couldn't find what suited me best, I was sickened with all the others I bought but I am in love with the control... and its cheap as chips. Doesn't seem like it will break and is just a nice length. I am running pure forks with a 100mm * 5deg truvative stem and try all bars and its lovely! Control feels proper!

Do you hear any bad stuff about Northern Ireland over there?

looks like its been done... Heatsink Good idea though :closedeyes:

If your buying a disc that is to be used with a 160 then on the KOT the 180 rotar will be what you require.

Its the threaded coller that goes between the freewheel inner and the cranks, odd thing only echo have done I believe. Div, maybe so but I thought the likes of Phil Williams (who has helped) Tarty etc would have this kind of knowledge to hand and being a Sunday night when I posted thought it would be easier than calling. Just a bit disappointed that shitty posts are flooded and when someone needs a hand no one really tries...

One for sale on here, drilled and ground. TF Link

I have searched until I'm blue in the face for the inner thread. Don't know what to search for so needle in a hay stack comes to mind! Surely someone must know this? If I can't get the thread sizes and types today I will have to send off the mashed collar to the guy just to see if he can get anything from it. Thats unnecessary cost and time, I thought someone on here could help but unless you post about pads, tyres or 'whats best' I guess no one gives a f**k.

That sucks a bit, would have been nice to see a good frame from DB.

Could be a case of just the USA having a different branch, maybe DB UK will be the ones responsable for Hawzies bike?

Here you go... CRC

Someone must know this?

I am needing a bit of help on a few things ragarding my echo cranks. I have the older silver echo cranks and they have a steel collar threaded to fit the freewheel on the outside of the thread and then a larger thread for the inside of the thread to attach to the alloy crank arm. I took my freewheel off and it came off with it, got it out but was in no way ever going to last and it died on its first run today. I would like to know if its possible to buy these collars and if now could someone extremely smart please tell me the type of thread i would need for the inside and outside to see if I could get one made.

XTP's sold well, they're £700 or something for something not special at all. Ti is special... therefore I think £649 is a decent price.

At least your alright, one of lifes little lessons too... don't use TAR! (Y)

Lol yea, I never thought it would do that but you can feel like the vibrations are like pulling through the rough hairs instead of you just yanking through them. Worth a try in my books. Tried a lot of razors and this is best!

Bought a new gillete m3 power (i think) before I went on holiday. Best razor, has a vibratey function that sort of helps the cutting. Well recommended.

Looks well :angry:
