Nah I know the difference between chain skipping and not. Gonna get the freewheel de-greased this weekend as per the info from the other replies and will see how it goes then!

Went to Halfrauds, absolute pap. Got a crank remover but they aint got any freewheel tools. Said they haven't even got one themselves to use in the workshop!

I know what your sayin, it's cause the frames so old it's still quite a lot bigger than normal trials frames, think the official size is about 14.75". To be honest I secretly wanna break it now so I've got a good excuse to buy a proper trials frame!

Finally finished! Full spec is: Heavy Tools Trials Frame Unbranded forks Echo TR hubs and rims Specialized stem Azonic World Force riser bars FSA headset Hope mono mini front disc HS33 rear rim brake Tensile offset magura mounts Magura Evo2 mount kit Inspired grips Try All ISIS B/B Trialtech Sport Forged cranks Trialtech Race Platform pedals Echo SL 108 freewheel Trialtech Lite Z610 chain Try All single speed tensioner Because CNC bashring IRC Kujo on back and El Gato on front Think thats it, pics! Think I may soon go for some different bars and a higher longer stem!

Might nip there then on monday!

Nice one will give that a try, will have to speak to tarty on monday anyway to get an isis crank remover and tool for the freewheel!

After months of waiting for the funds to arrive I've finally managed to get my heavy tools built up this afternoon with all my lovely new kit from tartys. The only problem I've got however is the freewheel I got, Echo SL108, is absolute shite! I don't if its just me or the fact its new but it skips like mad! Not even putting much power down like when I rode the bike down the road it still skipped, now is this cause its new, cause I've not fitted it tight enough or simply that it may be faulty? Need help guys as it may have to go back! PS. Will get pics up shortly in pics section!

Ordered, hopefully be here tomorrow so I can get it all built up by the weekend an get some pics up!

If it works I want one!!

Well I've managed to blag £140 in vouchers and cash for my bday so the big order for the remaining bits should be goin in on Wednesday hopefully. Whilst it is an old school frame it ain't an old school build, my plans are the following, bearing in mind I'm trying to keep costs relatively low; B/B - Try All ISIS £52 Cranks - Trialtech Sport Forged £50 Pedals - Trialtech Race Platform £25 Freewheel - Echo SL 108 £60 Chain - Trialtech Lite Z610 £14 Chain Tensioner - Try All single speed £35 Bashring - Either Because CNC or Echo 7075 £20 Total £256, will possibly stretch to £270 if people suggest something other than whats listed. Any suggestions to other items at around the same prices from anyone or advice on stuff I listed that people have or have had is appreciated. B/B, cranks, freewheel an bashring are what I'll get if they will all fit together on my frame! Advice/comments??

I'd say its deffo legit as it aint asking for any info or to update details of any kind, as long as it doesn't say follow this link to take up this offer its not really very dangerous

At work, bored, can't sleep, can't be arsed to brew up, roll on 6.15am!

If your concerned about the length try a shorter but higher rise stem, then you should be able to lift the front end easier (I think) but other than that just wait and keep practising, you ain't gonna nail everything overnight. When I started I weighed about as much as a bag of crisps so that shouldn't make any difference, just keep practising an you'll pick things up an stuff'll get easier!

Mixing old an new, was considering gears but other than the fact I hate setting up shifters if I go single speed it's gonna save me quite a lot an I ain't got much to spend. Looking like its gonna be the Trialtech ones, never spotted them at first but should do the job perfect. Cheers for the help!

Seen as its my bday in 2 weeks and I shall be getting cash an tarty vouchers for the last bit of my build Ive started looking at which parts I need and have spotted these on offer at Tarty's Echo 7075 CNC. Has anyone ridden these that can offer me an opinion as to whether I should bother or spend a bit more? Gonna be getting ISIS and runnnig a FFW an bashring if that makes a difference! Cheers all!!

Get a print out and take it with you, then next time he collars you give him the paperwork an ask him how he feels he'd hold up in court for harrassment!

Remember before we snapped all the teeth off we used to half pedal onto picnic tables, sticking the teeth into the end of the table and just pedal up onto the top, was awesome!

This may sound a bit gay but I'm quite excited about seeing this all come together and really hope it works for you!

Kinell, I'd be all over it as just the other side of Stockport but I'm working lates on the Saturday an if I wasn't would be playing footy! Oh well, maybe next time!

Good luck with the new bike, hope all goes well!

Did it have the section with Pete Tomkins showing off his 'new' crud catcher?

Nah this is trials chat!

Well the Inspired have been ordered now, just another small item towards finishing my build!

They aint got the dmr zip grips in stock anyway at the mo, now just gotta figure out what to tell the wife when a parcel arrives
