I have an Echo forged 150mm stem that may be up for sale if I find a stem that I like the feel off on my 20".

Forgot about these. Yeah the tyres are mint to be fair, loads of pop and are pretty much the lightest on the market.

Jitsie have some nice products, like the Goldfren pads that they sell (they don't make them), but I swear anything they have manufactured is dog shit. People snapping forks and bars all the time.

I happen to have a spare set of tech 3 levers from where I converted my trial zones to mineral oil with saint levers. I'll be putting some hope seals in the echo caliper and see how it goes. I've put Jitsie pads in and they're much better than the echo pads.

Hi all, Has anyone ever used a different lever on an Echo TR disc caliper? The levers do work to be fair to them but they do leave something to be desired, and are known to leak. I have used an m820 Saint lever on a Trial Zone caliper, which is what the TR is based on, but I'd like to hear if anyone has tried something in the past.

Silex 26 is +30mm BB and I love it, I also like the +25mm BB on the 24 as well. I had a brief go of my dads Fourplay and it feels like your feet scrape the floor the BB is so low, didn't like it at all. High BBs are the way.

My silex was 12kg dead when I weighed it. I've since put a spank race 33 on the rear and put a fatbike tube in there, so probably weighs the same as it did.

I've got a Silex 26 with old Saint cranks, DH tubes and two Hookworms, I'll weigh it in the week and see if the scale survives... I'll probably cry.

I've done this 3 times. It's common on the pro 4 unfortunately. Joacim broke his rear pro 5 but I don't know how, and whilst he was waiting on new hubs he stripped a pro 4. Chris King come back to SS!

RampWorld Cardiff is okay for street. Spit and Sawdust is also in Cardiff but I have never been there so I can't comment on how good it is for street.

I've had both leak, but Echo were by far the worst. Great for crank clearance though.

I've used the spline one on their cranks for for more than a year and they have never skipped. They do eventually work their way loose and you have to get a pin spanner to get the preload right again, but other than that they are great.

Has anyone heard of or seen a Hydra fail due to the ratchet ring threads being stripped? I've done this a few times to Hope hubs and was looking at the I9 but was unsure if others had experienced this with them.

My dads riding trials at 57! you're still a young spring chicken.

Lots of people that I ride with use these rims in both 24 and 26 and they've never had issues with them. Great for tubeless.
