  1. I was just surfing on trials-forum.ro to see if there was any new videos, and I found this! Kenny Bealey nude on his bike. He is apparently making a calendar... http://translate.google.fr/translate?hl=fr...%3D13%26t%3D801 Enjoy...
  2. Well, I really miss my Limey you know! It was so nice looking, I was happy having it in my student's room when I was sleeping. But since I got the Echo Control, I feel so much more confortable! I don't know why though, it's just personal preference. I am much more capable of things with the Echo (perhaps becaus it's lighter too...). One thing you need to know: the Onza Limey 3 wouldn't have cracked if there wasn't this hole to put the Magura hose in it! Koxx had made an XTP with these holes and it cracked just the same! So wait for 2 or 3 weeks until the new Onza Limey 3 are in shops without these holes (and they are white: LUSH!) and then go for it! It's much better quality than the Echo, believe me!
  3. So I suppose this is because you will ride stock afterwards. So which one? Kortz? Slate? Anyway, I do like that bike, it looks fun to ride!

    That's the video that I will now watch before going riding! SO motivating! Great riding mate!

  6. They sell one at a local shop in France! But io is now closed I am afraid! They got out of business because of the lack of money!
  7. I just wanted advices... I am not asking if buying it was a good idea! But anyway, thank you!
  8. Hello, as you probably already know, I have completly destroyed my Tensile freewheel, so I bought an ECHO SL 108 freewheel to replace it! Now, I need to know what people think about that freewheel: broken ones, reviews, everything about it really...
  9. nope, my friend has had the same frame for one year now, and it's still strong (even though my friend is fat!)
  10. No, the best way to just condition your rim is not to do the back and forth method! This would remove an awful lot of materail and your rim could not take more than 4 or 5 grinds where as just grinding the opposite way your wheel turns (for a maggie) will just clean and recondition your braking surface. What I mean is: just swing your arms around the opposite way your wheel turns and just let the grinder touch your rim! Then when you go back to re-do the surface, just don't put the grinder on the rim! Remember than the less the grinder touches the rim, the better the rim will hold your grind! This way you will get a nice sharp grind that will last for a long time! Approximately 3 or 4 weeks depending on how much you ride! Cleaning your rim after grinding is not a good idea, this will flaten your surface, and it will be like you have a dead grind! (That can be useful if you use CRM pads)
  11. I know you would like to buy in the UK, but there is also a very good site where you can get them I think. You can trust this site! ---> http://www.trialmarkt.de
  12. I have been trying an awful lot of grinding of method on 6 different bike (all the people of my local club's bikes). Now the best one after 6 months of experimenting: -Make sure you have a good clean rim (Also some rims hold the grind much better than others: for example DX32 hold the grind very well). If your rim is dirty, clean it with aceton. This is because my method does not remove material but just conditions the rim! -Then, always leave the tyre on the wheel, never take it away from the wheel or it will put some rubber from the tyre on your rim, this will result on a contaminated grind. -Start grinding, if you run an HS33, grind the rim the opposite way from when the wheel turns, if you run Vees, grind the rim the same way the wheel turns. I don't know why but both these type of brakes perform better depending on the direction you grind your rims... -Always use a brand new Metal cutting disc, about 2 or 3 mm wide. -When you grind, never push on the grinder, just let it touch your rim and move your arm around. -Choose your own angle depending on the depth of the grind you want. As you use a metal cutting disc, be careful not to put it under 30 degrees, or the disc will potentially break (and it's not funny, believe me!). -Grind all the Rim surface, otherwise, if your wheel is untrue, the pads will touch a part of the rim that is not grinded --> BRAKE FAIL! -Sand your pads afterwards to remove all the previous stuff that could be on the rims before the grind. -Take your time when griding, you don't want to damage your rim, and you'll get faster after many griding.
  13. Nope, I have to change it, as I already said, my freewheel is totally destroyed so I didn't get any chance to try the bike!
  14. About vees: I just prefer a good old HS33 About booster: sorry, but if it's lower, the backing of the pads will be locked by the booster so it would rub my rims!
  15. Hello everybody, here is my new frame: Echo Control 2009, every components are the same than the one built on my Onza Limey 3 except: -The rear tyre: Schwalbe Fat Albert rear 2.4": 770g!!! And this tyre is as solid as the Continental Der Kaiser! -TMS rear rim: 680 g! -Atomz front rim The complete bike weighs exactly 9,329kg I am skipping to rear HS33 in some times
  16. How do they ride? Damon Watson style? Smooth?
  17. As the title asks, have you ever heard of a broken echo Control 2009?
  18. I don't wanna get an onza again, anyway thanks...
