  1. "Tell me more about your gear set up, I need to know because I'm planning on putting gears on mine when I get it.

    What mech, shifter and chain are you using?

    How many of the cassette rings are you actually using, if so, what issues did you have with getting the shifter to work properly with it?

    I've got more questions but I might ask those later. "

    Well its a 16tooth tensile freewheel on the front with a 12/16 six speed block on the hub. Most cassettes you can dissassemble and remove the cogs you don't want.

    If you cant figure it out just ask you local bike shop for advice.

    The exact spec is on the page linked to

    Why do I run gears?

    Well if I'm riding Tails with the crew then Trial ratios are WAY to low... at the same time park and street you'll need something more flowy than power move gears.

  2. Has everyone seen the new Echo brake?

    I've been waiting for someone to do this for years!

    A CNC rim brake, which is completely compatible with our favourate hydraulic rim brake.

    So my braded hose will be fitted straight on!!!

    I've been told people are moaning about the price.

    But think about it.

    No one moans about disc brakes of the same price which are made using the same manufacturing proccess, such as Hope.

    My bikes defonately being treated to one.

    Maybe I'm just a tart.

    But I'll give it a go.

  3. hey guys,

    i've seen all the frames around and stuff, what is the difference/disadvantages/advantages with high/low bb?

    any suggestions for a more static kind of rider?

    thanks,

    steve. :turned:

    A high BB will make the back end come up real quick. A low BB will create improved stabillity. Especially on the back wheel. It's a ballance. Stabillity over adjility (And clearance if your picky) What is the perfect hight? Only you can answer that.
