haha save your money and buy new forks? or if your set on a new bike, sell your current bike (or half a bike) then be a nice guy, help this chap out and buy this... offer him £500 though

Paint stripper . Nitromors works perfect, just rub it on, wait for the paint to bubble and then scrape off. Youll need to do about 2-3 coats.

http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_frames/echo_lite_2011_with_bb/c36p11474.html very good frames.

ive had about 6 sets of juicy 3's and juicy 5's in my life. on trials, DH, jump bikes and cross country bikes... and they were ALL SHITE! i hate juicys with a vengance! they have a stupid and over complicated bleed technique. most leak like a sieve and lack power. ive had BB5s and could not recommend them enough, they are awesome when set up right! im sure BB7's are just as good. just make sure you dont get a cheap chinese copy from ebay. hope this helps. Carl.

what rim and hub are you looking to get? you need to know.. the Rims ERD the hub flange diameter and the hub centre to flange diameter all which will/should be stated on the website you buy from. once you know all these you can put the numbers into the dt swiss spoke length calculator and it will tell you what length you need. edit: you should run a 3-cross lacing pattern on both sides of the wheel if you can. the strongest pattern. actually maybe 4-cross but you might as well do 3-cross.

took me about 5 months and i was able to get up stuff and do some alright spinny tricks.

A strip cut out the back of an old t-shirt? Then celotape to hold it in place. That way you can get colours too .

i have a huge vice and a HUGE leverage pole about 2m, any freewheel ive ever used them on has come straight off.. id be happy to help out if you live anywhere near norwich?

hahaha laurence! why is it you always post the dumbest comments!! then get rimmed for it! ahh i find it so amusing... so thankyou for entertaining me.

he wants to get the bike through the ride to work scheme, and the echo isnt included in the scheme.. i think

ok i think ill send it to hope, hope do new seals, pistons, pads bleed etc. so i guess it works out cheaper than doing it myself too... cheers for the replies, i think ill go down the safe route as i cant really afford a new brake if i bugger it up haha thanks!

ok nice one, i think im gonna go for the 165, mostly because its £5 cheaper lol. cheers guys!

ok so my front hopes feeling a little lazy, anyone got any experience servicing them?? basically i'm guessing new pistons and seals in the caliper, then can I do anything with the lever to make it better? or shall i just send it to hope and get it serviced for £40? so ill need?? this (complete kit) http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_spares/hope_mono_trial_seal_kit/c110p10452.html 2 x these... http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_spares/hope_mono_trial_piston/c110p11156.html

ive got the choice of ... 150 x 35 degrees http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_stems/trialtech_sport_forged/c29p10437.html 165 x 35 or 180 x 35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_stems/trialtech_race_forged/c29p10462.html is the 165 and 180 overkill? sorry guys im a complete noob at geo stuff.

whats with the stem stackers? surely your gonna hit your knee or chest or something on that??

re-grind rim, clean pads and set up again...

new pedals...

alright guys i got my echo trial 24". currently running trialtech sport bars and i think a trialtech sport forged stem this one.. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_stems/trialtech_sport_forged/c41p10429.html, and my front end feels really low! im 6'0" tall. what stems and bars is everyone else running? i'm thinking of getting a mod stem to bring my front end up a little, thinking this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_stems/trialtech_sport_forged/c29p10437.html anyone know if this would be any better? im a complete novice on geo of bikes etc, never really given it a second thought. Cheers for any advice in advance. carl.

yeah i just ride it until it either snaps or is visibly cracking etc, or the links start getting stiff.

green frame, white forks. thats what id do.

full wheel is on sale. 61% off, buy it and sell the rim/spokes??

haha this is a funny thread, laurence.. your levers cracked, fragile and modded to f*ck to save the tiny-est bit of weight. You may aswell replace the f*ckin thing and have confidence in a new lever. The 2011 magura lever i had was a beast! buy azarathals 2011 and be done with it? and no they dont leak, theres been a handful that have for some random reason, but if they do, you literally just re-bleed it and the leak stops. sorted...

you should see what they do to your legs when you shin slap.. ill upload a pic later...

I wouldnt...
