  1. So my new frame got collected earlier this morning!! Got a 2008 Echo Pure.

    Will be putting pics of it up later as im off work today to work on it. Expecting the arrival of my Trialtech SL stem later too.

    I will be asking for some advice etc too so any help greatly appreciated.

    Update soon . . . .

  2. I stripped my Echo urbans in caustic soda. It really isnt as violent as people make out. It smells a bit and the metal may come out kind of smoking!! I didnt use gloves or goggles and was in shorts and a t shirt. I pulled the forks out with my bare hands and got no kind if 'burns'

    I mixed it with warm water in a big plastic container and dipped them for a series of 5 second dips. When you are happy that all the annodising is off give it a wipe over with clean soapy water.

    Hope this helps

  3. Wow. Ok so proper 50:50!! I am looking to use them on my new build. The last bars i used for trials were azonic double walls on my good old pashley!!

    I guess i dont know about 'feel' until ive tried them. But i certainly will not be a basher so maybe they will be a bit too heavy?

  4. Right, its been ages now so just a minor note on the build. Bought front brake this evening, got a good deal so im happy.

    Major update coming over the weekend though. Along with a topic title change as its no longer a speedrace that im building!!!! New (second hand) frame should come tomorrow.

    Cheers
