    New pedal time

    really pleased with my nano flat pedals. i've retired them to my comuter now though i'm now running the mag flats. they're stupidly light and i have absolute confidence in them being up to the task. although with a 2 year warrenty i'm not to fussed if i ruin them. and half the weight of your shimano's
  2. negative bb too. is deng diversifying to jump bikes?
  3. i assume that your used to paying a decent amount to acquire a good bike that won't demand upgrades and extra parts from the get go... with that in mind cheapest tends to be about 4-500 second hand, or a new echo will run you about £900. are you after 20" or 26" or a 24"? the most important bits on a bike are brakes and freewheel; you want quality brakes asap, they'll help with your confidence and you shouldn't have any hang ups about bike failure letting you down when you try new things. same applies to your freewheel, since trials are singlespeed and low ratio you need a freewheel with alot of engagement points so your bike feels responsive. echo 108s are popular as they're high performance and relatively low cost. i prefer the eno, as it's far more reliable (in my opinion) most trials stuff is pretty simple and fairly universal as far as fitting different brands together. try and get something with an isis bottom bracket, as it'll outlast square taper and give you plenty of choices for drivetrain parts in the future.
  4. get a because color... could spec it beautifully for a grand. love mine.
  5. kickstarter is literally the best of the internet. but this specifically proves it.
  6. is it sat on the bead right? wet the tyre where it's 'flat' and pump it up really hard... it'll force the tyre in place...

    The Angry Thread.

  9. the onion predicts the future. scary
  10. does mr ashton represent a charity? could do a big tf donation?

  12. Don't remember if i popped any snaps up of my color since i changed brakes. but who cares it's tasty. meaning to get an echo purple headset again. Wheelbase: 1010mm Chainstay Length: 350mm BB Rise: +80mm Head Angle: 72° Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 615mm i never find decent reviews on stuff, and not mant people seem to be riding these; so heres a short rambling now i've had the frame for over a year; hasn't broken despite my love for big gaps. i have reached a point in riding where i'll stop doing something if i think i'm just mullering my gear, so i haven't got 100000000000000000 missed sidehop dings on this thing, which is what usually kills frames, my riding style is fairly controlled and smooth now, but i have no doubts that this frame wouldn't support some amateur abuse and loving... the welds are good; the brake mounts are all lined up properly. the dropouts are really neat and tidy too, the disc mount is nice and stiff. the 4 bolt mounts held up fine when i ran a magura; i always use a booster, so couldn't comment on the stiffness of the frame without. had no fitting issues, seems compatible with everything.
  13. http://www.chainreactionhub.com/latest-news/1186-bike-check-colnago-c59-disc-road-bike-from-the-road-bike-party-2-video Some info on the bike. Custom hope levers to fit a roady are fit.
  14. it's even pimper now; echo team forks, hopes front and rear and trialtech sl cranks.
  15. I'm with williams on this. i f**king love my gelpr. they look shit hot raw too.
