  1. where you from the pic look good to ride

  2. monkeysee is 100% right i used to have a echo bb and i did just that using an old socket to remove a bearing than went to local bearing shop and got some new ones and used a rubber hammer to get it back in
  3. a good quality thread-lock
  4. the Kevlar hose is lighter and the steel hose is stronger but both are more then fine for trials, if you are after that bit of wight saving go Kevlar its plenty strong enough for trials use
  5. both are post mount so should be a straight fit
  6. that could work, someone about 4 years ago told me to try washing up liquid but i carnt see how that is even possible to bleed with
  7. i wish be cheaper then my 3 kids lol
  8. as i mentioned a few times im not sure and didnt think about the dot part. the lad who is giving me it is a tank mechanic, one day i was bleeding my brake in the sink with water and antifreeze and he asked why i used it, i told him long story short i profer it as it has a harder feel at the lever as in u can feel the pads hitting the rim and lees spongy feel. he then told me how the fluid they use for tank brakes is as free flowing as water but around 20 30% denser has no change by tempreture up to 300 degrees so i thought you cud be worth a go not like its gonna cost anything. but all depends on the dot part as stated im not sure if it is or isnt but it probably will be. as iv already stated if its dot fluid which it probably is but im not sure i will not be trying it haha think air bubbles my be hard to remove
  9. cheers, for the first part anyway. it was just a thought i had that it would be worth trying just like the first person to run water. im not sure is its dot or not as iv said already but its vary different to normal fluid as it moves as fast and freely as water as iv already said. i think in future i will just try thing for my self as the topic has proved to be hard work but thanks to those have help
  10. cheers, its awkward to explain as i know what i mean lol, by harder/denser i mean that if u had a can with a air tight plate on the top one with water one with tank fluid the plate on the water cud be pushed down feather then the tank fluid but the tank fluid moves just as fast and freely as water. think im going to do some syringe tests when i get it but it all boils down to the dot or not factor iv only tried 2 boosters a gu 4 bolt and my current echo. my set up feels pretty amazing and best iv ever used and a everyone thats tried it agrees but im not saying there not better ones out there.
  11. iv got a echo 4 bolt booster already, sorry for trying to find a small improvement in a sport we all do
  12. i hear whats been said but a harder fluid that moves freely will give the feeling of less flex/sponginess at the lever. i dunno about most riders but the more solid my lever feels the the more i like it. each to there own i was only interested in peoples thoughts and if people have tried other fluids and weather they work.
  13. think this is getting a bit far now lol if its dot il not be trying it i have an old maggy but its better as spares then wracked, aparently the tank fluid is harder then water but moves just as freely so should give the lever a harder more solid feel and be just as fast and easy to pull, but the main thing will be if its dot or not which i didnt think about to start with but im thinkin it will most likly be dot
  14. in my eyes if u dont look to improve things will never get better n a small improvement in fluid is still and improvement. thanks for mentioning the mineral and dot part i didn't think of that and not sure which it is but will check when it comes (not paying for it so nowt to loose rely) anybody else tried something other then the norm and what was the results like
