  1. I've currently got Onza tuf guy forks and soon i'm getting Echo SL's, that will hopefully save about 300g but i just want to know what people think of them? Anyone had any problems with them? And are they flexy of quite stiff?

    You will saving a lot more than that closer to 500g. Can't imagine there the strongest forks. But depends on how harsh you ride.

  3. nicest one iv seen!!! great job :)

    i am guessing ur using 18-15 gearing, as rear wheel seems to be almost out of dropout (eeek!)... yeah?

    just a bit worrying once you get some chain stretch??

    No running 16-14, been told to run 17-14. But got middleburns so looking to get some new cranks i think.

  4. i like!

    what does it ride like? looks to be a fair bit different to the ol' steed!

    Depends what you last saw me on Will. I had been riding an atomz AKT, then rode a prototype Quark for a week or 2 and really liked the high bb. Not rode it enough weather is pants.

  5. Here's a few pictures of my new Hydrox. Only got it a couple of days ago rides really well. Got it down to 9.28 which is ok seeing as it still quite strong. Me, Rossi and Slinger have been on a bit of weight thing at the moment. Big thanks to Tarty for sorting us out parts and the frame btw.

    Tell us what you think.

  6. Didn't think it was that good to honest the riding is amazing but the video hmmm. Rubbish song, the editing just seems wrong and camera angles are rubbish to. Needs a rider to film it would look better.

  7. I saw a good test at the last bike show, there was a sloped plastic obstacle that we were trying to backhop up. the riders with maxxis tyres had no problems, however the riders with kendas just couldn't grip and it was impossible to backhop up.

    Doesn't that depend on rider. Plus my nevegal or what ever it was called was a sticky compound one grip to any think.
