  1. On topic: Also made the switch, also got the echo trial, cant recomend it enough. The switch was weird at first but didnt take long to get used to, then just like other i seem to be kicking further, side hopping better, just generally getting better all round.

    Off topic: We need good light trials specific tyres and more selection of rims with fancy bits cut out!

  2. My friend has the Magura mt2's and he cant recommend them enough, out the box (and probably still to this date) are more powerful than my Hope tech trials, I on the other hand tried and now have a BB7 and like Mikey said their rediculously good, and in my mind alot simpler to fix and not as much can go wrong.

  3. Your options are 20" 24" and 26", its personnal preference, if you've previously only ridden 26" moutain bikes then you'd probably feel a bit more comfortable back on a 26".

    Suspension as a general rule... no. Just no.

  4. Hiya mate,

    1 - Honestly cant remeber how much you need completely but a 250ml would be plenty i would of thought.

    2 - Any of the HS33 brake pads will fit. Recomend Cousts, Heatsinks or LGM's.

    3 - For hubs i just use a cloth ram it in my wheel and rubb, for a sprocket, any general bike cleaner like muck-off will do the trick, if it does have chemicals in them just make sure it dont go near your rim.

    4 - Bar height is kinda personal preferance, im about 6ft ride a mod, and have a 160mm stem on a 35 degree slope, 1 spacer, and tensile high riser bars, again play around put spacers in take some out see what feel comfy.

    5 - Tyres, everyone really loves try all sticky's, perhaps maybe look at the maxis creepy crawlers as they're a lil heavier so perhaps a lil stronger.

    Hope that helps, any questions jus ask...

  5. 20" Mod frame? I can never remember if mines b4r b5r bar bzr, i believe its the 2010 version,

    geo:

    1000wb

    350cs

    +90bb

    ~I really like the bike, rides real nice and feels amazing on the back tyre, the short wb high bb does sometimes make you lose your balence over the back a lil more but it has the same geo as the koxx sky summin or other so they must be onto something, wouldnt recommend it to a really tall rider as its quite short, other than cant recommend it highly enough, cheap frame very good build quality, just really good overall. (Y)

    If you've got any specific question id be more than happy to help.
