  1. Cant argue with that then, Pre 08 Deng frames IF you can find one. If not then ICE 2
  2. www.trialprod.com Theres an 08 Typhoon on this site. As well as Adamant A3 and Zoo Python 09. Change language to english
  3. Definately the Ice. Much stronger frames and ride super nice.
  4. Looks sweet! Could be made lighter yet standard hope mono trial lever bodys and Carbon levers. Ti-Bolts, Ti-BB ect. Want one!
  5. Anyone else managed to snap their Try-All / Koxx forks around the steerer tube? I snapped mine today doing a little drop gap just underneath where the stem clamps onto the steerer. Thank god I wasnt doing anything big. Pics up later
  6. Pads: Heatsink CNC Yellows Time used: 14 days of riding. Rim used: Trialtech Sport 19" Grind: Yes ( Medium/ Deep ) Ceraminc: No Brake used: Magura HS33 05, 4 Finger lever, V!Z clamps, Oil bled What is your opinion of a working brake: Instant bite, loads off hold and remains consitant in the wet and dry. Confidence inspiring . How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Its actually amazing at how good these pads are. Better than my old citrus, limes, montys, Echos, and Tnn LGMs. Review: I ordered these pads from Steve when I kept finding my LGMs were too unconsistant. They arrived on Friday night and I got them Installed on my old grind from my previous Lgms. Set them up square and went for a little ride to wear the pads in the the angle of the rim sidewall. Once they had done so the brake became extremely good, after no more than arround 10 minutes riding. The bite is amazing, will stop you dead, with a nice loud honk, very loud. The hold is also nothing short of epic. I base my pads hold on one wall every time. Its about 3.75ft with a slight taper to the edge, which means only very good pads will hold. These held every time, even when on the edge. They are truely brilliant.
  7. Id just put the TPA on its minimum setting and set up the pads so lever comes to where you want it with Zero Tpa. Thats what Ive done. Never touched the TPA. Cant unwind its-self then, and your brake will feel fine too.
  8. My Zoo Python 06 is 1075wb. Coupled to a low, longish stem and low rise bars youve got a TGS machine!
  9. his star nuts bust ( the bit inside the forks which the top cap bolt screws into ) Pretty cheap to replace. Make sure he buys the right size for the steerer tube though.
  10. fair enough mate! Glad you like the bike. That's all that matters really
  11. bike looks sweet dude. One thing I would say is to put your citrus pads on the rear, and the maggie blacks up front. Like the blade frames
  12. guy rides them on a harsh grind by us haha. Seem to be ok so long as you done drag the brake. Lgm really for harsh.
  13. I find that Lucozade sport Orange gives me the boost I need over a period of time. That coupled with 4-5 bannanas and small sugary snacks like flapjack keep me riding throughout the day.
  14. This is the nicest looking Echo I've seen. Quaility parts, nice frame. Clean, and simple. I want black wheels again now.
  15. This has to be thee best looking Mod ever! Makes me wanna ditch my Tgs steed for one of these and ride comps. Not sure Im a fan of the slick rear, but that's preterance Very, very nice. How do you find the rear hope with it being a different calliper?
  16. brother replying on my account DONT wear the grind off. As dan said, TNN LGM or what I said. Yellows or Coustsinks. Beleays are good but seem to eat grinds.
  17. Ive done a 26" too. No real fuss just takes a little longer
  18. Not too hard at all. You can eiter do it using a grinder or a hacksaw with a cobalt blade. I've done one with a cobalt blade and didnt take too long. Cut easily. Bounce brilliant too with the air volume your gaining too. I was very surprised. Although the tlrim didnt last as long but that's to be expected.

    Sorry :/

    sorry about the silliness of my last post guys. I couldn't access my email as I was on my iPod and was perhaps a little too impatient. There won't be anymore posts like that from me in future. Will send an email later today Sorry guys
  20. Topic aimed at the Tartybikes workforce just wondering when the next Onza delivery would be. Wanting to buy the Onza Isis Bb but is out of stock! Feel free to close the topic once answered Cheers
  21. Heatsink Yellows in CNC backings. Work brilliantly. Beleive Damon used them on smooth rims for ages.
  22. find a way to get your grind worn and get yourself some Heatsink Yellows in the CNC backings
  23. Bad Idea. Just rebuild it the same as it was before you pulled it apart
