Links/pics?

"Eccentric Eno" hub if you haven't seen one. Hopefully that will help you understand how it works... quite simple really.

Get a patent...

But isn't there a huge difference in chainline between the both? (Fresh sits in the middle of 9-speed body and the echo would be as far to right as you could go. Or?) Couldn't it even be the case that the fresh would not even fit on a ss hub, due to them being dishless and as such have less space until you would make contact with spokes? (Don't know domonzas setup though.)

Superb guys, thanks a bunch. Does anyone have a pic of the white stickers on a frame? (Can't find any. )

Going to order some stuff soon and thought you nice guys might clear 2 things up for me: * Echo Control booster - how is the tyre clearance on that beast, looks very tight compared to other boosters, but is it tight enough to cause any problems (or just tight enough to be really stiff)? * What colour stickers are these: "Silver" or "white"? Leaning to any of these or black... Not life or death decisions really, but keep obsessing a while and you become convinced it is...

Yeah gutted would be the word, as for how i cope... eh, well guess i have no choice. Guess it's busted because some form of overexcertion, nothing broken or torn (that the doctors could find at least) - basically tons of hopping (could be related to handlebars, which I will try to investigate when I'm well again). Thanks, you get well soon too!

Try 2 months and still counting... Only thing I would like to add is stop immediately (well don't ignore it a least) when you get wrist pain, I didn't - just kept going about as usual and well... that turned out to not being such a great idea. Don't go riding until it's healed properly - you easily lose more days otherwise, one premature attempt and there you go: a few more days/weeks without riding. Hope I haven't scared you, just wanted to advise some caution so you don't suffer the same horrible fate as me.

Yeah, I borrowed a 11krpm from my father and sure it works. But I've heard that a lower speed might be better - can't remember the details though. After all the "normal" 11krpm grinders weren't really designed with "optimum grinding speed" in mind. Probably I will get the extra power I crave when the booster arrives. But even if it will work fine then, even better is always nice. You can't get enough of the good stuff. Hobnobs + benno: I found this topic (that's where I got the idea to try from) but it's not very specific, might be that no one has really experimented much? Of course I will try for myself, but as I stated a head start is always nice. EDIT1: Hobnobs and benno where to fast for me. EDIT2: Clicky didn't work.

Just got me a new variable speed grinder: 2.800 - 11.000 rpm (Disc size: 125mm. Model: Skil 9385). Happy days! I'm going to do some experimenting with grinder speeds to see what works best, but thought I would ask you guys for a good headstart. Setup: Pads are Koxx Browns and the rim is a DX32 (might try the new Echo drilled one next time). Grinder discs are generic metal gutting discs and I will be using fresh (not rounded/worn) discs. (Not running a booster as of now but will get a Echo control when the shop restocks them in late Januari. Also, if it matters, the frame is a Levelboss and the brake is a 2005 HS33.) That should be EVERYTHING that is relevant about the bike i think... Thanks!

Ooops, didn't know that... (I'm a beginner on a stock, so this is hardly my area of expertise.) Echo Lite is what then, spray painted Easy? Viz and BT have fork with Magura mounts (although at least the Viz ones weight more than 850g) I believe, don't know whether they are made of U6 and strong though?

Echo Team 04? Ask the Germans: http://trialmarkt.de/ 80 Pounds (120 Euro really) + Shipping. A friend bought a complete Koxx from them and he was pleased with them as a store. Someone there supposedly speaks english so try mailing them? (Unless you are set on ordering from either Tarty or Select of course.)

The RB was out of stock (less choice = good :) ), so I ordered a Control... hopefully it will do the trick. The thing is that I'm experiencing some slipping occationally, which could just be badly adjusted brakes - but since the frame flexes so much I'll give a booster a try. Given the good reputation and high weight of the Echo booster I guess if it doesn't make any difference for me, basically no other booster will either. I know really skilled guys running Levelbosses without boosters - so I guess when you aquire more skill you can get away with less power since your weight will be in the right place so to speak. For now at least I believe that a booster will benefit my learning curve (and time will tell if i remove it in the end). Thanks to everyone who helped out answering my questions!

Don't know - must have just been, since I didn't notice until Jaffacakes pointed it out to me. I guess trying to follow the guidelines helped? So no inside tips for you, I'm sorry. :lol: But I guess you where perhaps being retorical? I've gotten good advice "despite" only being able to post in "new members", but still nice be validated. Guess it hasn't got anything to do with actual trials skills. :P Thanks! :P One of those then i think... :S

Validated, yeay! :S One of these beefcakes perhaps? Overkill? But more importantly would that fit?
