  1. Just took everything off, greased bolts ect, put pressure all around the wire in a hope to straighten it out a little.

    they'e a bit shitty for grip and bounce, but they're alright in reality. Probably better for what you're after, but for pogoing something softer is nicer.

    Ahhh, well I want grip and bounce there a no go.

    Becuase there compound is like that of a car tyre, no grip when it comes to rock atall, alright as a street tyre i spose, i was alittle discusted to see thet the new echo mods are supplied with them on! spend a grand then change the tyres and brake, just what you want

    Is a bit silly but there not going to put something made by Try-All on an all Echo bike now are they?

    When I get a few bits next week going to go for a Maxxis, and that beefy dh tube, hopefully sort any problems!

    edit - Just went out, do a skid, jam foot in between seat stays, and pooof, slipped out, may just wait till I get some stuff.

  2. Gentle isn't an option for me i'm afraid, hahaha :P

    Just having a look around on Tartys, seen that the Echo tyre is a bit tougher? Lasts longer and is lighter, why don't people use these?

    When buying new tube and tyre set I may just buy that massive Kenda DH tube? Looks like it may withstand anything along with a Maxxis?

  3. Everyone is bound to have there own favrioute move, well mine being a pivot on the front wheel to 180 then roll out or carry on with a line, but the problem is, I think this is damaging my tyre, there is a wire running where I have marked green on the picture, I know this because I pierced it through a previous tyre, again see picture, I am 100% sure this is all from that move. Just spent about half hour of it constantly happening to me, pretty much, the tube pops out of the tyre/rim, definately not the psi, have it quite high, purely because of this.

    I don't want to buy a new rear tyre just to know that it will buckle in a relatively short period of time?

    Will having a 19" but slim tube help this? currenlty running 19" x 2.25, and a new tyre ofc?

    Cheers! :)

  4. If you think it is overpriced, pop the guy a message and don't start a big and pointless debate about him, how would you feel if you were trying to sell something and people were posting crap about you? It also isn't going to help him sell the bike as easy as he wants too, in a way.

    It's a brand new 2012 frame, hardly anyone has one in the UK, what I know of, and the spec is honestly quite good, so take your hate somewhere else, Fin.

  5. I want the bb rise to go into triple digits. Double just isn't manly, I don't care it's +90, it's still low. When I get on my bike, I want my arse to tower and overshadow everything around me.

    RockMan did a +105mm BB mod didn't they?

    (Y)

  6. I want my own apartment.. With things going the way they are, I should be out by the time I am 21ish, (17 atm) But yeah, mums rule, no bike in the house. And no, planning on saving bits for driving, bits for 'rent', bits for getting places, bits for food and bits for the bike. I really want to spend it all on a bike but just wont be able to, unless it was a super cheap secondhand one.

    EDIT - hmm -

  7. So I kind of want to splash out on my first ever real payday, expecting around £850+ according to my calculations plus a bit of overtime ect.

    1- I want somewhere to keep my bike, somewhere safe, like my bedroom, but not in there, already made a shed topic but I aint a clue on how to make it secure (like a bedroom..)

    2- Also want a camera was set on (http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero2-outdoor-edition/#protune) which if you look on ebay is £200! I mainly ride on my own, but when I go out with people and would like them to film something for me, its not like all these 'new kind of camera quality, is it?' It is on GoPro's video, but you never know, someone enlighten me?

    3- I was thinking of buying a new bike (second hand) but think I may just build mine back up to good standards, mainly ride with out le brakes, but every once in a while, whack em on! This isn't really much of anything, just ignore this last bit <.<

    Thats pretty much it, at least I think?

  8. Wanting to make a proper video over the next month or so, so thought i would get rid of the old clips i had on my pc from our pathetic attempts at filming over the summer by making this nice and chilled little edit

    All clips are chronological as it was easier to edit and i'm pretty lazy :P

    Anyway its a pretty simple edit, but i think it works well, Enjoy!

    Paul

    EDIT i have no idea why but every time i upload to youtube the quality fecks up on me, will try and upload to vimeo soon

    Good stuff paul! What camera was used for this?
