It looks awesome, loving the black frame!
-
Neil is a beast! his riding on the mod is going to be huge! I can't wait for a vid!
-
A friend and i both bought Limeys. his cracked after about 8 months. i sold mine after about 6. the frames are a bit flexy, and dent like no other but they feel and look quite good!
-
I would go with an echo urban (i think they come in black now?) or a zoo fork. they both are pretty good for the price. not to heavy to.
-
i like the new echo bars , didn't like the old ones though, to much rise.
-
i really like the giro E2. there pretty cheap on ebay.
-
the blue rock pads are amazing.
-
brake cables?
-
i really like 18-16 with 170mm cranks.
-
apart from the fact that there soft i think there great.
-
i was told by a bike store that has both pads in stock that they are exactly the same.
-
the heatsink reds or the heatsink coust pads both work very well. right now i'm using Koxx Bloxx browns and there amazing with a good grind.
-
i would go for the king.
-
hi sorry to say but the koxxs rims for mod only come in 32 and so do the echo ones. the only ones i can think of that come in 36 are the Onza Reggie i hear that they are good, go of that.
i have a 36 hole rear try-all mod rim. they do make them.
-
i would go black for sure.
-
i have some try-all flat bars and there like 364g not 267g...
-
the frame is more of a trials/street frame it has a low bb, long stays and is quite short. i think it would only be good if you ride alot of street. not so good for trials moves. and i'm guessing you meant moment?
-
i'm using the blue heatsink pads and they work quite well with an ok grind.
-
my friend tryed a magura in the front. disks work a lot better. and i've never hit my disk sidehoping
-
i have try-all bb's in my stock ann mod. they work great but cost a lot. a few friends use fsa bb's and they seem pretty nice.
-
Tensiles are stiff, light and look cool. but you do hear of them breaking from time to time. i know nothing about the echos.
-
maybe if he rides a bmx then he should go with mod and if he's riden 26 mtb or whatever he should get a stock. just an idea.
-
20-18 on my stock with 170 cranks (i think a bit harder gear would be better) 18-12 on my mod with 158 cranks.

i found a lot of tar by a school that was haveing its roof re done.
Dengura ? Any Good For Street ?
in Beginners Trials Chat

I've tried five or six different Echo Brakes ( aka Dengura ), and from my experience this is what I've come up with.
Pros:
Rear calipers are a little smaller so they give you more cranks clearance.
The brakes are CNC so there a bit lighter, and look very nice.
Lever blade is longer then the Magura hydraulic rim brake so they get more power.
Cons:
These brakes leak if you bleed them with water.
TPA ( adjusting knob ) is hard to use because it's quite small.
The brake has a squeshy feeling ( becouse of the longer lever blade giving it more leverage )
Cheers!
