new wheels ordered

so new wheels ordered, will put up pics soon on the bike pictures section when i fit them

looking good there ryan!!

Hiya guys, a little bit of an opinion needed for my new wheels please. I want a new set of wheels but I am not sure what to go for as I would like them as light as I can get but still strong but would like them to match the bike colour wise. I thought about going all black for a stealthy look but not sure how it will look. I was thinking the Trialtech rims on Echo TR disc hubs. What do people think? Here is the bike with the white rims it has already -

So i have just weighed it on my crappy baggage scales and it comes in at 8kg, so not 100% sure if thats right but the only weight i have got. I am running the echo tr wheels at the minute which weigh almost 1742g together and i'm sure i could get a set that weigh a fair bit less as there is not really anywhere else i can save weight.

So here is my new build, it rides like a dream! Frame - Speedrace Fans 20" Fork - VIZ light 20" Rims - Trialtech SL Hubs - Echo TR front disc, Rockman BUB Rear disc Spokes - Mutiny plain guage with Halo alloy nipples Tyres - Try-all Sticky Lite (rear), Try-all Sticky lite(front) Rim tape - Atomz patterned Bottom bracket - Trialtech sport lite isis with Viz alloy bolts Cranks - Trialtech Freewheel - Echo sl 108 Bashring - Trialtech Ti Rear sprocket - 12t Echo titanium Pedals - Echo Tr 2011 platforms Headset - Neon bow Stem - Trialtech Race Handlebars - Trialtech high rise Grips - Rockman foam Brakes - Hope Tech Trial with trial pro pads on the rear, with 160mm Monty Kamel rotors. Chain - Trialtech lite Geo - 995 wheelbase, 350mm chainstay, +80 bb, 72 headangle, 595mm reach. Hope you like guys!

the hope tech lever is flip flop so either side

hope tech trial 180, might have an almost new one for sale in the next few days, no.3 caliper so no adapter needed. AJ

sorry dude that was my bad i was ment to put gu-st bu put le instead, i'm going for a speedrace fans frame now

Speedrace it is then can't wait!!!

glad you like it guys, just looking for a new frame now, pics of the new bashring up now AJ

I'm looking at getting a new frame to upgrade from my GU-ST 08 dual disc to something lighter and a better geo. I am mainly using this for street, I am 6ft tall and i want it to be dual disc so here are my choices, preferably i want to keep my 180mm disc on the rear. Cheers AJ

looking sexy!

The brakes are amazing, and the frame is really strong but you pay for it in weight as its about 2.2kg just for the frame. I am looking at getting a new frame soon but not sure what to go for yet. AJ

now with same cranks and freewheel but new and the trialtech ti bashring with the bashplate removed

+1 great pedals

i hate using the bash its there just in case for the time being lol, ti halfring is sounding appealing though

lol cheers dude, i will use the chi

sand the pads then go find a big hill and start at the top pouring some water on the brakes as you drag them on the way down

So i can sidehop 41" from two wheels no problems but going higher is a bit harder, I can also hop of the rear wheel at almost the same height. Both of these ways of doing it I hit the pedals to stop the backwards momentum. So am i right in thinking to hop higher i need to hop off of the rear wheel straight up without the pedal and pre-load to launch upwards? Any help would be appreciated as i have always hopped off of two wheels and since i have started riding again everyone seems to do it from the rear wheel. AJ

I will be there with a few others at about 11 at the skatepark as its free parking

Yeah I have thought about that, and think I will do one or the other when I put a new freewheel on at some point and either take the ring off or change it to the Trialtech titanium one and remove the plate.

Cheers for the comments guys, The rear brake is amazing, so much bite and hold, love the fact that the only noise you get is the freewheel. AJ I would change but I love the feel of these rotors, I might experiment with some others soon
