Muc of disc brake cleaner melted the paint on my immaculate '04 brake, used it to clean the pistons before a relube Not sure it'd even touch a frame though

From the point of a consumer would you say the echo pistons are actually any good? Both my TR levers leaked from the piston (despite the lipseal being set correctly)

If you have dedicated v brake mounts I wouldn't even bother with evo2 adapters. The main reason people used the evo2 adapters was because the hs33 had more pad choice at the time

Also provide a better seal but add more friction. Although friction isn't an issue for me, I use a metric f**ktonne of Vaseline on my lever piston. (all I had at the time except some 20year old lithium grease which is full of lumps and other shit)

I've actually been considering 18-13 because anything faster than a slow crawl and I can't get any power in to go up / across stuff

Breaking the taboo by typing after the quote I've had one for well over a year and it's only snapped once, replaced it with a spare link and it's still going strong about a month later

Asked to swap for my 24 great ride once i'd learnt how to ride in the wet, was aching from yesterday so didn't ride brilliantly. Was nice to meet some new people too Learnt the hard way that fat Alberts are shit in the wet

Rode Williams' bike today in Portsmouth and I can tell you saints live up to their rep. I thought my hope was powerful but it's like riding into a brick wall. I'd say it's better than a 183 bb7 on the front of a mod

On the train now coming from reading I'll be at guild hall about 10:20/30ish

Cut the head off a steel crank bolt, cut a slot in the cut end and (if you crank is hollow) thread it in the good side using the screwdriver, and out the other end as a make do tap. Not sure if this actually works, just a thought I had

Well I ride about 3-4hours a week, if that think I'm sold on the bonz, I still have to acquire funds so I'll see if there are anymore more reviews

I know it's "safe to use on pads" but I always found if it got on my rim or disc brake pads they were never the same

So it's between the v!z or Bonz at the moment. Skunky, are you going to the portsmouth ride on Saturday? I take it you arent using my hopes anymore then?

Shame it's only 110mm

Theres a large group of us around, normally riding indoor, reading, wokingham, basingstoke etc. Pm me your facebook and I'll see if I can get you added to the local group

Heya guys, been wanting to shed some weight for a while now and I've decided on new rims, front wheel I'll probably just match the rear. Rear will be running a grind and need some input on which rims grind the best. Neon 538g Bonz 527g V!Z 550g Out of these I assume the Bonz would hold a grind better? I've seen a few people using thje V!Z rim but I haven't seen the Neon in use yet. Anyone have an opinion on them?

25ish mins in they're all beasting out over bar height sidehops on what look like 02/03 bikes. Russians have always been this monstrous at trials!

Use a ziptie and do them one at a time? Easier than a vice

Well it's secondhand but if it comes to Stoozie is only a phone call away so he should be able to help me out Going to be nice having a non-sticky piston, slightly leaky and cracked brake Lever blade is a little bent too, going to assume no warrantee because that's obviously my fault? Sorry for hijacking the thread.

You probably wouldn't notice any difference in power with 160's, the 180's will be easier to hit, add weight and have more leverage to snap the disc mounts

So hope will replace my cracked hope clamp for free? need to sent it for a service anyway as after the cost of parts the service isn't much more and it's effort to do it myself

Trial tech low rise bars are base on 05 zoo aren't they?

Tr bars don't feel nice at all, if you want echo then go for the sl. Otherwise any of the carbon bars, trial tech or try all bars feel nice

I was thinking sticky lever piston too if after bleeding it still flaps about
