Make your own manafacturing company liam! Liams hodge it, bodge it and scarper

Nope, Blade wheelset has sealed bearings in the rear hub, but open cup bearing in the front hub. The front hub should be : http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/front_disc_hubs/onza_open_disc_front/c20p10318.html

True, but if the races are damaged, then the hubs a right off (im pretty sure the races in the hub arnt replacable) I wasnt specific, because all manafactures decide to use different size ball bearings :L

The front has open cup bearings

You tit liam

Looks good A couple quick questions Where you've welded the booster on, is there any reason why you havnt welded around the 4 bolt mounts? Also, looks like the weld is biased more to the booster than the frame. Was this purposful?

Most epic photo.... EVER

Man up

Surely having the pedal supported by only one side would put alot of load on the bearing? :/

So far ive cracked a frame around the 4 bolt mounts (whilst using a tensile booster) a frame around the bash plate mount (without using a bashplate) so ive gotten to the stage of: F**k it, ride it till it dies. If it breaks, it breaks

This is a bit of a grey area. Yes, using a bashplate will put the load through the bashplate mounts, and can cause the mounts to crack, but ive cracked a frame around the bashplate mounts when NOT using a bashplate (and not bashing the shit out of the frame to be honest) I think the results can vaery frame to frame though

They dont technically fit (42mm clearance, stock only) but ive got one on speedrace becausee the brake mounts are welded too high, and with that and the built in booster, its solid

I had real clearance problems because ive slammed the booster down I didnt cut my booster down, i cut the pad backing down

Echo? Dont you mean Zhi? :L http://www.biketrialseller.com/product/544

Same, Shame they dont do a non-disk version :/

Bet you shat urself when that happened

You must have confused me when you said :

yes and yes

The Ice is a fair bit heavier than the Echo :/

to be honest, your not gunna get anything out there with a similar weight which is stronger. Why do you want to change frames?

No supprise, with the way he slams the rear wheel on the floor like a d**k

Bearing races

Good old maggies Meant to do that dude

Because riding a squeeky bike with no seat isnt different?
