  4. Crank Woble

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Hi,

    Have been using some echo sl cnc cranks and a try all bottom bracket. I have always torqued these up after every 10 or so rides and used thread lock so they never were able to become loose. Have been riding them for around 6 months or so.

    Was riding today and felt my pedals wobbling a little got off to check and found that I could easily move the crank from side to side with my hand a couple of mm. took the crank off and found the bb where the cranks sits a little bit crushed.

    Am I going to have to fork out for new cranks and bb or is there anything I can do ?

    Thank you Luke

  7. Riding Headphones

    Sorry if its been covered, done a search but couldnt find anything.

    I often practice on my own and listen to music to get me in the mood.

    Use to have a set of Sennheiser PMX 80 Sport II but found they kept getting caught if I was wearing a hoody and coming off.

    Finaly broke them when the cable got caught on the bars and ripped out the socket.

    Just wondered if theres anything better that anyone uses ?

    Thank you

    Luke

  8. Echo Hydrolic Rim Brakes

    I use an Echo Tr rim brake and have found it really good, the tpa has better adjustment the slave cylinders are smaller and the hose far more flexible and i prefer the feel of the lever. I would defiantly go for another echo if it were my choice.

    I have one for about a month now bought a whole tr rear brake, have left it with the oil bleed. Has been really good so far no leaks really good power. Not sure what it would be like with a water bleed though heard it causes problems.

    Tipped the bars back and the bike feels completely different alot more flicky. My bars are at about 37" high but not sure I can use any more spacers would look ridiculous, going to start off with some riser bars and see if that helps and maybe a stem so I can loose all these spacers.

    But I can now ride with out my arms aching, so thank you everyone for the advise.

    Just got my self a fans speed race stock frame. Built it up with echo sl forks and a fsa 100mm 8 degree rise stem and punching flat bars. Found the front very heavy and hard to flick up when riding. i then put about an inch and a half of spacers under the headset and its not made any noticeable difference.

    Is there anything I can do to make it feel more light and flicky ?

    Thank you, Luke

    Powder coating will give u a very tough long lasting finish shouldn't cost too much but more expensive than spraying.

    If it was mine I would give it a light sand with some wet and dry and a few thin coats of white spray paint, and then a lacquer it.

    Would be durable enough for a stem I would think.

    Hope this helps Luke

    I have a hope xc and when i replaced the pawls i used abit too much grease that kept making it skip took it apart countless time until i figured out the problem. After I cleaned it out and used a smear of grease it has worked a treat.

    Hope this helps

  20. Chain And Sprocket Question

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Hi,

    I have noticed how worn my sprockets are, as I am getting new cranks I decided to get a new set.

    Should I change the chain at the same time ?

    Is there any whay of telling how worn a chain is as it has not been on the bike for as long as the sprockets.

    Dont really want to change it if mines ok

    Thank you Luke
