I think you've already hit the nail on the head. If its something relatively small or easy to do, I usually go back to see how smooth I can get it. However if its something hench, im usually happy to do it, get it on film and not injure myself.

Had it heat treated? Looks nice, shame the front v looks so messy

As for these things, its all personal preference. I did run one on the front of my onza blade, but switched to a try all sticky, and will never go back. IMO, its worth the extra 100 odd grams for decent amount of grip and thicker sidewall.

Possibly. They're very light tyres, but have very little grip. You have to run them in low pressures to get grip, and they're useless in the rain.

Oh look, another echo

Look like shin DESTROYERS!

Dont know much about current, but im my experience appliances use only as much as they need (within reason). Have you tried taking the hard drive out of the external and plugging it into a computer?

Usually means the hard drives failing to spin up. Maybe the power adapter your using has different voltage to the original one?

Yo, you a cornish lad? could always drag the locals out for a ride

Think Lukes hit the nail on the head

Guessing a 20" bike? I run 170's on mine and they feel fine, but like i said, it can be personal preferance

Longer cranks do mean more leaverage, but you can sacrifice some speed. The usual rule is 160/165mm cracks for mods and 170/175mm cranks for stocks, but this depends on gear ratios and personal preferance.

If i remember correctly (dont shoot me tarty boys if im wrong ) they arnt lubricated from factory, or lubricated enough to actually notise it. I used engine oil to lubricate mine, thought it'd be thicker than a spray (wd40 or gt85) but thinner than most types of grease so it wouldnt cause resistance on the paws working. Seams alot smoother, and still hasnt skipped

Invest in a tri-pod. The camera man's shaky hand pisses me off For a beginner, your riding's looking promising

Agree with foxxy

Id go the other way actually. borrow the widest bars you can, then put the grips as far to the end as possible and see how it feels. If its too wide, move the grips in till it feels perfect, then measure the lenth from outside of the grip to outside of the other grip.

Liams brought a limey 320, so welding his comp up isnt a option

Its personal preference, but ive found it depends on your size, build and width of your shoulders. I personally prefer WIDE bars, 29+ inches, but ive got quite broad shoulders.

I thought me/Liam was bad! You Fat B*****D!

+1 for english subs! and look at the guns on the old guy!

I thought considering the threads about rockman Martin being quick as usual

What alex said. They're not really a sought after frame.

Rockman take over the world? More like Echo are

Gotta be worth a sig

Gotta admit, thats proberly one of the most epic breaks ive ever seen! Ive seen cracks, snaps, but never parts fall off
