  1. I think you really should.
  2. 3deg upsweep 9deg backsweep And if they are from cro-mo they will be strong enough even if they are 25,4mm.
  3. Pricey?Are you kidding me?
  4. If you have square taper cranks,then yes.
  5. First of all,they don´t ride the same bars.the gold one could be bonz bars,but the green ones are something like this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58165 so more dirt/street kind of bars than trials bars.
  6. heh,what he meant is whether it´s 127mm or 150mm version.
  7. 160kg and broke his distal phalanx doing it.
  8. It´s pretty obvious they are echo,hence the name "echo" written on them.
  9. 16:13 should be fine,16:12 would be too hard for pure trials.
  10. Where have you been for the last 2years?
  11. They don´t flex that much as standard cable,so the brake feels more solid.
  12. This one could if the tyre clearance is good enough. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MTB-BMX-FREESTYLER-TEKTRO-BRAKE-BOOSTER-PLATE-GOLD-/260938600574?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3cc127107e
  13. Yes I know they are more expensive,but in long run this isn´t a factor.But enough with this,it´s up to everyone what they wanna choose I know I wan´t choose plastic backings anymore.
  14. Noone asked his height?One bar/stem combo won´t work for two different people...If you´re 180+,than yeah,150mm/30 stem and something like trialtech risers will be good,if you are shorter than that,even 130mm/ 25 might be long/high enough for you.
  15. It´s very possible,but do you know how often they used to change them?Just out of curiosity,there´s few monsters in here like neil,damon,TRA maybe they could answer this?I don´t know what´s this debate about again,I´m saying they are much safer option,am I wrong?There´s no real advantage running plastic backings,saying that they are cheaper is really short sighted too...
  16. Yeah it´s very hard to get them out of the backings,but not so hard to break the backing itself...
  17. Companies are using them because they are cheap.Yes,they are rockmans,my heatsinks snapped just like that(both pads actually)...Plastic backings are fine if you are light rider and don´t go too big.I don´t see the reason why risk injury though if they aren´t that expensive...
  18. I agree that they won´t change the feel of the brake much,but I feel safer when I know my pads won´t fail like this
  19. They are not threaded to fit freewheel.
