    Wow. With how low the Bb is on that, that must feel wild?

    To be fair I’ve never been a stock rider so I don’t have much to reference against but it feels good to me! It’s got a fairly long stem too.

    The echo tr bars I had on it while I built it felt a bit low, felt a bit hunched over when on the back wheel

  2. I’ve just put some of the Jitsie super high risers onto the Ashton I’m building, I pretty much have them upright and they feel pretty sweet to me. Might roll them forward a smidge but I don’t think they’ll be comfortable all the way forward

    brewery things

    Looks cool!

    I’m an engineering technician at a big name brewery and kegging is my specialty, if you ever need to talk shop fire me a pm I’m a geek for all this :D

     

    As for my contribution? I’ve spent 4 years renovating my first home good and proper, I’m now a burnt out shell of the spritely young man I once was

  4. I’m glad you mentioned tapping a thread into it because I’d considered it already anyway! I’ll bring my tapping gear home from work tomorrow and go at it :D

    its the latter type with the spanner flats for cone adjustment. I had guessed it to be doable since it wouldn’t be hard to get the current axle out. There isn’t much meat poking out either side of the cone adjusters though which worries me slightly; doesn’t look like there will be much in the dropout!

    ill report back tomorrow if I get a chance at it

  5. First off, hello again! I’m back after nearly a decade off the bike.

    I’m building up a mk1 Ashton on a budget, finally got round to getting started today and now I have some issues to resolve. First of all, the rear hub is QR only currently, can I convert it to a bolt on type?

    This is my first stock bike so I don’t know 135mm hubs that well.

    As much as I would love to upgrade to a proper trials hub I don’t have the dosh to spare right now

  6. ModifiedRappah2k9?

    Yo', "my mate's got this it's properly sweet",

    Don't believe me? Well I've got a receipt.

    "Nah man, it's pure shit, it snapped in a week",

    The lever fell off, and started to leak.

    Choosing a frame mate? There's no need to jest,

    I ride an Echo, and yeah, it's the best.

    I love you.

  7. Out of interest - if you "do it right" as much as he did - I.e. 20mm or more, can it really shrink down to being almost invisible again? I doubt it but I'm curious.

    A lot of people think that by just taking the plugs out their lobes will just go back to how they were it seems, so many people have them stupid looking ears.

    In reality, gradually shrinking it by working your way back down the sizes would have a better effect I reckon. Don't quote me on that but it seems to be a really logical step that most people overlook
