[Ashton effect 24" brake choice?]

I get that but my last effect had a rear disc and I didn't really have a problem with it, as I mainly do light street trials or just general riding with it

[Ashton effect 24" brake choice?]

I have an Diamondback Ashton effect 24" trials bike, and I'm just wondering what is the difference between a hope mono trial caliper and a hope mini mono caliper? As I've heard only the mono trial will fit the rear of the bike but they both look very very similar.

[Brake Pad Help?]

You aren't getting validated because your grammar is lacking.

One way NOT to get validated is to call the forum shit for not validating you!

well the the forum is shit at the end of the day because if someone was suffering from dislexia they couldn't get validated (DISCRIMINATION)

or if they come from a poor educated background they couldn't either which is DISCRIMINATION

i hope you are happy with yourselves as a forum is to chat and get general advice which alot of people cant because of the sad fools who made this site really need to get a grip with reality because not everyone has an oxford university A in grammar most people on here are average everyday people and everyday people do not have perfect grammar and i will never advise anyone to use this site as you discriminate

[Brake Pad Help?]

hi, i ride an echo lite 09 i currently have wheels that have been grinded but i am about to buy myself a new wheelset and am just wondering on what pads to use with the wheels as i do not want to get them ground and is there any pads that will not take the paint off the wheel as quick, or is there anything to prevent this.

2months and no validation this is shit

[Bash Rings?]

It's the clothes that's your problem though lad, bash ring would help a bit

But if you wearing baggy clothes still they can find there way to that chain. Either tuck it in, or wear some tighter clothes, or man up and wear some shorts

yes i understand that but what i mean is, is there any other products out there that can help stop it that i could buy as i am not the only one with this problem so surely there should be a means of buying a solution that stays on the bike.

as i ride my bike what ever the weather snow rain sun or wind so i make sure i am warm but as i have said i have broke my collar bone so as soon as ican ride again i will be doing but want to make my bike as sound as possible so i have no worries.

can you buy a chain gaurd because every other type of bike you can buy one for.

dont get me wrong i love trials but it doesnt seem the manufacturers actually ride themselves or seem to solve general issues i used to ride a lot of park bmx and have had about 6 different bmx's with very small to large chain wheels and never had this problem surely there is a solution other than wear shorts or "trackies". as i want to be able to ride in what i find comfortable and i dont like "trackies" or slim fit jeans i like to wear baggy clothing especially pant wise as i dont like pants that stick to your leg hence why i ride wearing baggy clothing as i have throughout park and dirt jumping and never had any problems.

seems like only trials bikers have this problem that you can't solve via a safety measure for your bike. clearly the makers care more about lightness and looks than safety.

sorry for going on... i am just looking for a solution i can put on my bike so i do not have this problem for when i am able to ride again doesnt have to be a cheap one just one that works.....

please help no suggestions like changed your pants or trainers i dont want as i also ride to work. where i have to wear pants or jeans which will just get caught.

starting to feel like the manufacturers dont actually want people to ride trials when the have basic problems that cant be solved with a product

[Bash Rings?]

hi again is there nothing i can buy like a cover instead as i have broke my collar bone as a cause of getting my pants caught in the chain.

is there not a cheap solution that i can buy to put on the bike so i dont have to worry about what i wear can anyone give me any suggestions or is it a diy job?

[Bash Rings?]

i have an echo lite 09 with monty isis cranks but keep getting my pants caught in the chain would a bash ring stop this and what bash ring would fit, or do all bash rings fit?

[Brakes? Magura To Disc]

No, nor would there ever be one made, the only way to do it, is get a disc mount attached to your frame.

And asking to get validated, is a sure fire way to make the validation system take a lot longer.

why not? this would be a very good system for trials ridersinstead of having to spend fortunes on upgrading frames and the rest of parts that would be needed.

personally in my opinion i think this would be a great idea if a company decided to make one of these brackets, after we are only just out of a recession and with tax and all the other cons the government are running it should all ready be out.

And asking for validation should not make it take longer it just puts off trials riders from joining as i got recommended by two friends who no longer use the site because of the validation rule as they were on here for 2 months and still never got validated after making numerous posts and comments

[20" Or 26"]

just like to say thanks for the advice and i have just bought an 09 echo lite 20" as i did bmx but as had a specialized p2 and i am more comfortable riding a 20" to a 26" as a 26" just doesnt feel right but thanks the advice anyway

[Brakes? Magura To Disc]

does any one know if you can buy a bracket that will mount into where the magura's fit that adapts to a disc so you could have a disc on a non disc frame?

is this possible or am i just thinking of something for future release?

as i have an echo lite front disc only but would like to convert the rear to disc but am wondering if this is possible without buying a new frame is there such an addaptor?

i also need to be validated if anyone can help this would be greatly appreciated
