A still from today.
Had no idea how high it was until I measured it today (I know I know, Tape measure warrior 4 LYF) and its 51"
Managed to go over it last weekend, but only managed to get the sidehop a few times today. Tried going up to front on it too,
soooo close. Anyway voila;
That is a beast of a sidehop well done

its an old vid and not the one i was thinking of, but the same guy i think
That move at 3.00 is awesome

The change in bike weight and geo is great because it allows us to go even bigger or higher. If you prefer a heavy bike just stick with it, but lightweight bikes/parts is the future.
Don't slag off TGS riding just because you don't like it, it involves much more skill than being able to jump high or far.
I ride in an area which has mostly walls and stuff so TGS is great fun.

Keep at the green sections, try to set yourself targets for each section and don't let dabs knock your confidence.
Riding white sections will not improve your riding as much as sticking to the harder stuff.
I find when you try to enjoy yourself more than thinking about mistakes you can ride alot better.

Amazing !
How much does it weigh ?
-
Ultimately if you want something that rides like a street trials bike, buy one. It is possible to make your bike more 'trials-y' but if you find you like it and want to commit/sick to it I'd say buy a street trials bike and then it'll be a lot eaiser and you'll enjoy and appreciate it alot more.

Match the front wheel with the rear and it will look better
-
Looks Nice,
What tyre are you using on the rear ?
-
Very nice bike :wink2:
But in my opinion it looked better with the old stem.
-
About 5 minutes.
I HATE BLOODY TRIALS BIKES SOMETIMES.
.....Only joking -
I am using a rockman 150x30 with 10mm of spacers on my echo 24" and it feels great for most things.
When i first got the echo i was using a tatybikes 165x35 without spacers. I am 5ft 11 and It felt like i was streching for the bars to much, so i gave the 150x30 a try with 10mm of spacers to acheive almost the same height but less reach and my riding improved rapidly.

I made a skateboard deck into a shelf on my wall, thats about it..... so far !

If there wasn't such a thing as talent, everybody who trains hard at something would eventually reach the same level.
e.g Emile Heskey training as much as messi dosen't make him as good.
It just dosen't work like that !!!

Only to and a half weeks
, that is shocking quality for a frame. -
Acutally my bike is an Echo 24". Rides lovely but I don't trust Magura brakes enough to make progress in my riding. I prefer big wheels but I'd happily trade that for a more dependable rear brake.
Obviously your magura's are not set up correctly if you cannot trust them,
if you set them up square with a decent grind and pads there is nothing better in my opinion.

What about a echo trial 24" http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/24_inch_trials_bikes/echo_trial/c50p11568.html
Mine is amazingly fun to ride and i go mostly on street things :wink2:

24".. after 2 years on a 20" i'm ready for a bigger wheel, also because i'm 1,90m.
Great choice i have recently switched from a mod to 24" and everything seems a lot easier

The 24" trial frame looks so nice, i would love that frame with white rims and hubs.
Not to keen on not been able to remove ECHO logo though.

Braking is superb. Pads havent even fully bedded in yet.
I like to think Im quite smooth, whether I am or not Im not sure. I usually ask others if I am haha.
I cant see the strength of the rim being a problem at all.
I'll look at what my options are regarding stems, not massively fussed on brand etc.. so long as its black.
Sounds like a great rim, i might stick with the viz now, but i am still curious of the because rim.
Has Anybody Bought A Bike From Ecrater.co.uk Before?

It looks very dodgy
This shows some reviews : http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/ecrater.co.uk
Mixed reviews but there is only 3 which isn't a good sign.
The american version has shocking reviews so stay away from that : http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.ecrater.com
