  1. Ive been running water for about a year. much better feel, no leaks so far and its impossible to get air in the system if you bleed it in your sink.
  2. Hey All Just picked up a Juicy 7 for the front, and its working awsome but i had one question about it that someone might be able to help me with. set up the brake as per the manual, leaving the bolt loose, pumping the brake and holding it then tightening the bolts to ensure proper alignment of the caliper on the disk. That step worked perfectly, the rotor is right in the middle of the caliper. Now my problem is I have to set the pad adjuster all the way out to get a solid lever feel or else the lever can be pulled to the bar and not get a solid lock. Can I set the adjuster all the way in so the pads are farthest apar from each other, pump the brake slightly with out the rotor so the pads will travel out further, and then put the wheel back in, hopefully causing the pads to sit closer to the rotor now? Thanks for any help Dylan
  3. taken from the HB trials site The 2007 UCI World Championship will be held in Fort William, Scotland, September 3-9. James Barton will be the first Canadian trials rider to compete in this prestigeous competition which will determine the UCI World Champion. James Barton is a 17 year old trials rider from Kingston Ontario. He's currently ranked number one across Canada and the United States. He won two of the biggest competitions in the US last year, Raccon Rally and Motorama. James used to BMX race, but he was hooked on trials after seeing a Ryan Leech demo at the age of 13. Since the last 4 years, he's been riding and training pretty much everyday. His natural talent and his great decidcation and efforts (he train up to 6 hours a day when he's not working!) explain why he became so good on his bike. If you never saw him ride, watch theses videos and you'll understand! Vid 1 Vid 2 Part of the HBtrials team since about 2 years, now in the team Simtra since last year, James is now ready for the big comp and he needs the support of the Canadian trials riders to get there. He's only 17 and he will be paying the fees to get to Worlds by himself, trials is too small to get any major sponsors. HBtrials and Simtra teamed up to try to help James and offer him some support. From July 1st to August 31, the profits from the sale of Simtra Team t-shirts, rubber grips and VP double cage pedals will be remitted to James for this trip to the Worlds. The price of theses items will remain the same as usual, so not only you'll get some nice parts for your bike and some shirts, you'll be helping out a fellow trials rider and showing him your support as the first Canadian who just might win the UCI Worlds in the Stock junior class! Thanks for your support. Simtra Team t-shirts : 20$, black or red, S, M or L VP pedals : 20$, black and a few silver left... Rubber grips : 10$, black or grey

  5. Hey Guys The threads in my new style echo front hub came out. I was wondering if I could just put a quick release squwer though the hole and it would be ok?
  6. Hey Guys I'm having a problem with my front bolts on my new style echo hub. basically they are near impossible to thread in and out on the disk side. They threaded in fine and then getting them out or back in tends to bend my allan key. its like the bolt has swelled inside the hub. Anyone else encounter this problem?
  7. Who sells them? I am looking for this one: and they would have to offer shipping to canada. Thanks Dylan
  8. I am 100% sure that this is your problem. happened to me too, those 4 bolts really don't need much torque at all, just put them down snug.
  9. please make the 20inch version please!!
  10. ultimate arms dangerboy lever linear slick cable onza v-daptors so you can use ur hs-33 pads link
  11. what front brake are you using? sounds like a stupid question i know
  12. this is the only video so far where i would actually clap after some of the moves for the rider. top notch
  13. look like a really nice design and full metal construction. hoping to pick one up in the next week. I will let you know how it preforms link to picture
  14. sandblaster. took me all of 10 minutes maybe to do a whole big hit.
  15. I am going to be picking up one of the complete lever body/blade for the hs-33 from echo. Just wondering if anyone has used it and if they found any differnece in feel/performance, so anything bad about them?
  16. http://www.emachineshop.com/ this place is really neat if you need a hard to fnid part or want something custom. Go to the site and download there program to design the part. send it to them, they machine it, and ship it to you. They will also coat it in different things like chrome,anodize it, powder coat it. can be done in a wide variedy of metals/plastics also have instant pricing on the part you want good idea for that thread where everyone wants an adapter to run disc on there mod.
  17. awsome ride. i like everything about it
  18. cannondale chase custom build old echo team complete adamant a3 "green machine"
  19. Gytrials has the idea. you you look at the first pic of the hubs, look at the holes where the bolts go though. the green one is much larger than the new style ones which seem to be the standard for all hubs. if i were to make the holes in the threshold any bigger it would be way to weak. you can see in one of the pics how close it is to the edge already and it has to be quite a bit bigger.
  20. ok so i have a rear 07 echo mod hub. it was made with the first batch of hubs and has a weird design that it unique only to that batch compared to every other hub ive seen. the hole that the snail cam has to go onto the hub is alot bigger than other tensionners and cams. i got some thresholds that HB trials milled out to a new hub not knowing the difference in size and they dont hit on my hub. Anyone else know about this problem? Am i stuck with these snail cams that came stock on my bike as the only option avalible? pics for help. green one is my style hub, blue one is the new style
  21. tons are out west indeed. its crazy out there. there are quite a few in the east thou.
