Why not go for the Zoot Pro from rock n roll or is that too much ££

That is nice, makes me wanna throw a load of money at my mod now and swap the frame for something a bit more nimble, some new wheels, etc though that would definately lead to divorce.............if thats a bad thing??

When I picked up my Integra Type R years ago and hitting that Vtech for thr first time on the drive home, amazing feeling. The feeling after having a tattoo that just makes you want more. And again the having a massive dump you've been holding back for hours!!

Not just yours, he's a trials machine! Can't wait to see him when he's Jack Carthy's age, will surely be bringing Trials to the masses, I'm surprised British Cycling hasn't picked up on him yet!

Don't see why not

At the time it was the only solution for me as I couldn't use my old rear wheel as I'd swapped to FFW and the rim was knackered, got the clamps machined for nowt anyway so wasn't really much hassle on my part other than actually setting it up. Ended up selling the setup to a lad on here who was pretty pleased with it so it came in handy when I upgraded my frame! Found the pic on my phones browser

Could you not buy some TNN clamps and file down the insides so the booster fits inbetween?

Got the bottom slots on the mounts machined out to take the V bolt (not sure what size they are), trimmed a tiny bit of the rear evo mount off so the clamps would sit into it then used the normal V bolts to tighten the bottom half of the clamp and for the top some bolts going through the booster, through the clamps, through the evo mount holes (where the standard mounts have the pins going through to hold them square) and stuck a nut on the back. Bit fiddly to setup but once it was on it worked a treat and I was using old magura koolstop pads at the time so it shows how effective it was. Not got any pics saved at work but there might be some in my pics thread for the Heavy Tools here http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/147215-my-heavy-tools-trials-rebuild/page__st__40__p__2197557__hl__heavy+tools__fromsearch__1#entry2197557 (Can't see myself as photobucket is blocked at work)

Then I'd look towards trying to pick up a Phase 1.2 frame, can't be that expensive I'd have thought.

This is not true, it can be done with a bit of modification as I had to when I had rebuilt my Heavy Tools last year to fit an Echo TR wheel in. It did actually work pretty well but to be honest unless your dead set on running a magura I'd just go for a decent well set up V on the back.

There's always a loose spot in your chain when you rotate the cranks.

No need to suck in your stomach on all the pics, and I'll quite happily dispute the claims creatine just retains water. I take it every day and have for quite a while and never struggled with water retention, and also I don't reckon you need all those supplements. Maybe if you were on steroids (I know as my cousin and a few local lads are ask over them) they'd be worth it but not at the level your at, especially going off your pictures. I hope I don't offend with my comments it's just how I see it having spent quite a bit of time in the gym, trying various supplements myself and knowing people who've been doing it for years!

I wouldn't mind, would give me something else to do when I'm at work other than

I've got the 11's and find them a lot better than my 05 HS33's with 2 or 4 finger blades. Though having not used a new HS33 I can't really comment on how they feel.

I enjoy going to the gym but again going too big hold you back on a bike, plus being in the gym means I'm not riding! Pete, what supplements do you take and where do you get them from? I find that creatine comes in handy on the bike as well as at the gym, and I always have a protein shake after a ride to help me recover.

The colours they come in, the hs33 has slightly more contoured covers and the 11's have 4 finger levers whereas the 33's have 2 fingers. And thats it!

I did my hub, should be fine.

You might struggle then as you need the crown race to match the headset although one of the Echo SL crown races they sell in the spares section may fit (but don't quote me on that). Are the bearings knackered??

No to the evo mount idea as the spacing on the mounts will be a lot wider than the evo mounts. As for the forks, did you swap the crown race for the one to match the new headset?

Cheers stan will leave as is!

Zoo stuff has kind of died off now, deng uses his Echo brand for components nowadays but it's basically the same stuff. If you want a zoo headset just go for a echo sl.

+1 Echo hubs use a 10mm axle whereas industry standard is 9mm, either file the dropouts or file the axle.

I'm currently in the process of trimming about 1-2mm off the side knobs on my Der Kaiser so it fits my frame nicely and wondered is there any other bits I should cut off to aid grip whilst I'm at it or will it be good enough? EDIT: Been a busy boy!

What rim have you got on the rear?? If it's the standard one that comes on a Phase it might be a bit soft and not hold a grind very well.
