  1. Hi I am thinking of buying an echo mark one frame and I want you guys to tell me if it is worth it I mean is it a "soft" frame does it crack/snap easily? I am talking bout the 26" version.. also I would like you to recommend me a stem/bar relation for this frame thanks..

  2. Can I see a picture of your front pad setup? interested in your homemade pads!

    Very nice bike though, just a bit of a saggy chain!!

    OK I'll see when I can upload some photos of the brake I made them with the shimano backings ( replaced the shimano compound with red polyurethane) it is a hard polyurethane it goes well with a grinded rim :D

  3. Well I wouldn't dare to ride with the chain hanging like that (checked on the video too)

    I'd advice you to consider a chain tensioner before it jumps.

    I will do it but I'm riding the since a month and its all ok haha :D

  4. The chain isn't loose may seem in the photo but I can't even take a half link off that chain haha

    Sort your chain out, get a black rear rim and you'll have one lush bike there fella (Y)

    Maybe when the rim dies I will change it for a black one single wall :D

  5. Hi, I could finally finish the bike feels pretty awesome so here it is:

  6. Well just cleaned the pads and rim and took off the booster (won't the frame crack? its a zoo piranha 09) and now there is just a LOUD noise great bite and very nice hold :D although the pads are very soft or my grind is very hard (wich I don't think so) :D Thank you all.

  7. Thanks all. But the grind is new I have echo TR clamps so there isn't so much so set up although I think I could get it more square I am going to clean the pads give them some time to bed in and see how it goes a problem I have is that some streets on my way back home some streets aren't paved so dust will get on the rim I'm using thinner to clean the rim, Thanks for the advice I will try all this and tell you how it goes :D

  8. Hi, I've bought a pair of Heatsink yellow pads and set them (echo sl rim, echo tr clamps,echo sl brake,medium grind zoo booster cut from 4 holes to 2 holes ) I've ridden them for a day and they didn't work nicely as everyone says the bite isn't great the hold is nice and there is no sound at all... everyone says that they are LOUD but mines just won't make a sound :( I like the loud honk gives me confidence. Maybe I need to wait until the bed in? or what? should I take the booster of although I'm afraid If I do so the frame might crack by the way the frame is a 09 zoo piranha. PLEASE COMMENT,I NEED HELP! :)
