i like to bum

That was a really good watch

I have recently bought another 24 echo trials bike it has come with a 150 by 30 stem the other 24 echo's I have had had a 165 by 35 on. I cant decide what one to run so what's peoples opinions and why? Bars will be try-all carbons 2014 design.

Thanks for the advice got all the tools to do it that way so will give it a go once the bearings come

My bottom bracket has exploded on my Echo 24, not that happy as it hasn't had much use. I thought I would have to chance the whole bb but have since seen the bearings on tarty so got a few questions on how to change them. One side of the bb is open as its come open and the bearings have all come out so will I be able to punch both sides out with a screw driver? If so can I then put the new bearings in knocking them in gently? Or would I need the proper tool? Any alternate advice am happy to listen to as am clueless with these Spanish bottom brackets.

Yeah i saw it yesterday and thought that you can always tell because they no nothing about the spec

Saw people most weekends doing it when I was in town thought it looked cool,got a bike and started from there

Very nice

Looks nice just some silver pedals and a front bb7 and its perfect, well nearly as good as mine

Good rideing but am sick of seeing good rideing from none UK riders on f**king pallets

Ive seen that a few time on tv and thought it had to be trials rider but didnt know who

Sounds good especially the good working front brake lol, mines abit lighter from when you went on it last, so we will have to have a little swap next time i see you

Well some of it could be in the head, but the front especally felt lighter and I could do bigger stuff, so prob abit of both but if it improves your rideing thats what matters, you just have to say to yourself how much your willing to spend to save grams, as ability and practice is what matters to be honest.

I just put lighter tyres, tubes, bars and pedals on mine saveing about 300g and it made a difference especally with the front end, but frame geo makes more difference.

Your 24 rides super nice too

Yeah rides so nice put them bars on, + ligter pedals, lighter tyres and tubes. Did have that slick tyre on I was on about what saves another 150g but was rideing abit of natural so changed it over.

Here are my 2 bikes the Bionic is finished and rides so well and is only 7.95kg. The inspired ive only just got and makeing a few changes stem, bars, cranks and gearing but hopefully the bits will turn up today.

I have this problem 2 with 6 pallets its fine but 7 I worrie about the front not makeing it so over compensate with sideways momentum so my foot ends up going down

Looks nice love the slick tyre I get ripped for running mine lol

My trialtech foams did this all the time I found the best thing was to put it on with nothing and tap it on, It was fine for that ride then when I came to the bike for my next ride, they would move again think its the cold. The only way I got them to stay was tape them to my bars on the inside.

nice big rideing

Weather isnt looking too good but I will be out anyway along with most of the lincoln lads

Sorry am ovs not a regular to have seen it in the past lol
