  1. Nice pics I was riding those pallets earlyer today to! And that wall!
  2. love the specific time left untill lunch in your status ;)

  3. Same :L The eclairs were well nice
  4. Sorry. I don't know what happened to the pictures.. I will sort it just now
  5. Well that has nothing to do with the anti-freeze. You can get a fluid bleed with loads of air if it isn't a good one. Anti-freeze is fine if it is bled well.
  6. +1 I don't see why people go to all that bother mixing loads of different thing and stuff like that. Just use water and anti-freeze or brake fluid. Or if your cool... Get some vee-brakes
  7. I got quite a few new parts at Christmas so I thought I would take some photos while it was all looking new Spec: Frame - Echo Pure '06 Forks - Echo Urban '09 Brakes - Shimano Deore with Avid FR5 Levers and Clarks Cables with Echo Urban booster on the back, Rock Blues on the back and TNN LGVs on the front Headset - Onza Mongo 3 Cranks - Truvativ Hussefelt Rear Wheel - Gold Echo TR Rim and Black TR Hub Front Wheel - Gold Echo Urban Rim and Onza Sealed Non-Disc Hub Pedals - Trialtech Lite Chain - Trialtech Lite Freewheel - Echo SL Tyres - Front - Maxxis Minion DH, Rear - Try-All Sticky
  8. My Echo Pure was about 12.3kg but since then I have got a lot of new parts. I haven't had a chance to build it yet but my new back wheel with the tyre and tube is about 3.5kg
  9. A booster might help. If you don't already have one..
  10. I have Deore arms and I like them
  11. What mod is it? This is the cheapest, good quality headset you can get in red: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=19 But it might not fit depending what frame you have.
  12. Rock Blues are amazing on grinds!! They might not solve the grinds wearing quickly, but they are insane!
  13. Hahaha. Make sure you have the correct input selected, like 'What U Hear' or something like that. Its much easier to download the video and then extract the audio though.
  14. I have an 06 Echo Pure, Its really nice for all that streety kind of stuff. Mine is 1070 though not 1060 (and it has vee mounts )
  15. I have the 06 which is actually a different geo (1070, +10bb) but I love it They are quite strong and the price is really good. Some people might say it is heavy but its not too bad.
  16. I much prefer syringe bleeds because you can just leave the brake on the bike so there is no need to set the brake up again after. And if you are careful you can get it pretty much airless too.
  17. Yes isis bb spindles have a much bigger diameter. And they are less likely to round too. I would choose isis every time.. If I had the money
  18. I sanded down one lever and it took me forever. I used a sander from most of it but there was lots of parts I couldn't get to with it so I had to just use sand paper. If works fine just takes like a year.
  19. http://www.supercycles.co.uk/site_details.asp?ProductID=704 ^The geo etc is all there. 375mm chain stays, 25mm bb rise, 1070mm wheelbase (depending on fork) and its 2.2kg
  20. Well I'm not going to complain. It's you who's brake is going to stick just before a drop or gap and make you land on your face. Seriously what JT said is the best way to do it. Also, does it not make a bit of a mess melting it and putting it on your finger and that?
  21. Eh... No. Don't do that... Do what JT said! EDIT: This.. And don't melt it to put it on. Just draw it on when the tar is solid.
  22. They are cheaper (for the bottom brackets) . I think that's about it.
  23. My crank kept coming loose so I put a tiny dab of superglue on the bolt, tightened it up and its all good now I'm not too sure if this is a good idea though
