recently (as in half an hour ago) i snapped my 2004 saracen mad frame :P
i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to get next. i would like a longer frame and it can have four bolt magura mounts. i am on a budget so the cheaper the better. thank you
i prefer a disk brake on the front especially for gapping to front wheel and sidehopping where you put your front wheel down first, brake to lift the back end up. i think it feels a lot smoother than an hs33 and they also look cool
the older model frames by echo are still excellent frames and will still ride nice. there should be plenty about as you can still get the 04 echo controls from tarty bikes. email a few shops etc
i run a 16t acs on the front and ive found it excellent aslong as you make sure you keep the lockring tight. mine barely ever skips/jumps when i pedal. really reliable i think. (Y)
i currently have a shimano deore cable disk on the front as was looking to upgrade to a hydraulic disk. i like the look of the magura julies. any good?
