  1. That thing is BEAUTIFUL! Probably my favorite 24" street trials bike I've seen yet.
  2. Talk to Joe Janicki. He rides one with the bars rolled pretty far back and it feels awesome!!
  3. That is such a beautiful bike! I'm in love!!!!!!!!
  4. I would give it a try. See if it works for you, if not, don't do it. If you just take it slowly and don't push too hard, I would guess it'd be fine.
  5. Isitafox, that's a great idea but they don't have both colors in front rim. Ogre, I would do that but I'm young and that's expensive. Very hard to even save enough money to build up the bike, let alone anodize things. I gues I'm just going to go with echo tr front and rear.
  6. Hi guys. I'm building up a Frank The Welder WTF frame, and am trying to pick rims. I will be using Hope Pro II hubs. I'm going for an oldschool/streety feel for the bike. Another thing, the front rim must be blue, and the rear must be red, for historic reasons. This is a special frame and I want to build it up the way it used to be. It was used by Lance Trappe in Cirque du Soleil, and he set the front wheel hop world record on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zucFD16RZY I'm currently torn between two sets of rims, and would love some help. I was planning on going with colored echo TR rims(I found them in the right colors for sale new), but then I was wondering if I want to have the wheels be the same width and use the same tires front and rear. My question is this. For the streety/oldschool style, what is the main benefit of having the same rim width? And would you recommend it for this build? I was considering Spank 26" rims as my second option. Could anybody link me to the best model for trials if that's the best option?(Must have red and blue) Thanks, Johannes

  8. Hey guys. A rider just said to me that he thinks Inspired and Trialtech are the same company, or at least are related. Now I'm curious, and figured I'd ask. Are they? Thanks J
  9. Are those the world's only nice stock bikes? There's gotta be more...?
  10. Leave it the way it is, that thing is beautiful!
  11. Hmm, I'll give that a shot. Thanks
  12. Hey. I'm setting up my heatsink tensioner on my echo pure 2011 frame, and it's hitting the spokes. what should I do? Its' adjusted all the way away from the spokes. Thanks JN
  13. Thanks guys. I did a light grind, and haven't ridden with it yet, but riding around in the house to test them they seem AMAZING!
  14. Hey. I'm running koxx yellow pads(the ones that came on kloud complete bikes), with an echo tr 26" rear rim. I've got a dead grind and my brake slips a lot. How harsh of a grind should I do for these pads? Thanks, JN
  15. Gluten free isn't always for fun... My mom has Celiac, if she touches gluten she has to go to the hospital.
