  1. are echos longer than most bikes though?

    Depends what one you get. The '09 echo lites came in short (1000 wb) and long (1020 wb), the 2011 were 1020 wb and the 2012 version is 1000wb. Can't say anything about any of the older echoes however.

    Also answering your original question, I know 2 people with koxx yellows and they're really nice bikes to ride, really bouncy and easy to flick about :)

  2. I'm using Sl's there pretty strong, but i do keep away from hooks.

    I do hooks a fair bit (not vertical or static ones though) and im starting to do alot of stuff to front so im not keen on the idea of them

  3. Hi, my new crossover and lever arrived today but I'm having problems with them.

    Firstly, I was putting my new lever blade into my lever body and my spring and piston popped out. Stupidly I put the piston in before the spring so how do I get it out?

    Secondly it was the m6/m8 already built crossover with shroud nut and olive I bought. I just tried to put the olive and shroud nut side on and it got really tight when threads were still showing. I took it out and the olive was completely crushed. Is it ok for some threads to be showing pr am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks

  4. Can't really see how sideways you're going in the video, but from the angle its videod at you definitely need to go more side on.

    You're taking off from a nice position on the pallet, not too far on the edge and not too far back so if you're comfortable then that seems fine.

    Maybe try smaller hops/less hops to get you to where you want to take off from, and pre-loading some more will help you aswell :)

  5. I recently burst my crossover pipe and I'm Going to cut the amount of hose needed of my current hose as it's way to long. The crossover you can buy on tartty which is already fitted with barbed fittings has 2 different sizes (m6/m8) comes with an olive and shroud nut. I'm confused as to why I would need them?

    Could I not just buy 2 barbed fittings, put them into the cut hose and put them onto my brake without a shroud nut and olive?

    And are the barbed fittings the same size but the m6/m8 is referring to something else to do with the other parts on the cylinder?

    Sorry if it's confusing, don't really know how to explain what I'm confused about haha.

    Cheers :)

    Edit : I'm using the newer cylinders if that helps.

  6. I go to the edge of where I'm taking off and I find taking a huge preload helps. Go at an angle aswell.

    Might want to type it into the search bar, I did recently and found a few topics with different things to try if what I said doesn't suit you :)
