like it
am not a massive fan of those tyres as tyre but the black looks better also i'd rather see the bike being ridden than a fashion accessory 
Is this not the Bike Pictures section?
-
New pictures and Poll added!
-
Im running 18-16 on an Adamant A2 (26")
-
lol
they're in the "latest updates" section on tarty - just scroll down a bit on their home page.
all it say is this:
We have had a large delivery from Echo, all the items apart from the new frames have been added to our site ready for purchase! The TR and SL freewheels are particularly impressive, their mechanism is extremely positive and the bearing system is serviceable and runs very smoothly.
Pictures of the new frames (ZOO! Lynx, ZOO! Piranha, Echo Pure, Echo Lite and Echo Kid) will be on our site early next week.
happy now?
I was just about to say that, but i think they wanted to know where all the geometries came from.
Whats happened to Adamant?

Not likely to happen on a chris king hub, they all use HG spline sprockets which is nominally 1.37" (1 3/8" or 34.925 mm), a 9 tooth driver is smaller than that
The driver youve shown is from freecoaster hub which is very different to a king.
It is possible that chris king could come up with a 9t integrated driver/driveshell arrangement for their bmx hubs but to be honest I dont think there is the demand for them.
Ahh, fair enough.
I knew that was from a freecoaster, but i just thought there may be something similar that screws into the same thread type as a freehub body on a normal cassette wheel, but i guess Chris King hubs are by no means normal
-
Just wondering if its possible to get a 9 Tooth driver on a Chris King BMX hub?
Anyone got any experience with this kinda thing?
I was thinking, maybe it would be something similar to this;
that screws into the hub, but im not sure if thats how the Chris King hubs work. I know the smallest cog they come with is a 12tooth, but surely theres a demand for a 9tooth in the BMX world
Thanks in advance if anyone can help!
-
Putting them back up for clawz-14. shall remove after he has relied to my PM.
Thanks!
I just hadnt seen the pictures thats all. I kinda felt like i was missing out on half the story
Thanks, you can remove them now or whatever you want!
-
This may be a bit inappropriate but did anyone happen to save the picture/pictures that were posted?
I never did get to see them
-
Thank you for all the comments!
It seems people either love the tyres or hate them. I do sometimes change them to normal black tyres just for a change, but its like most things. Once you have fitted something unusual and kept it for some time, you become attached to them and i have to say, these tyres have grown on me. Don't get me wrong, i also think it looks awesome with black tyres, but as i said, im kinda attached to the red ones
Maybe il put my black tyres back on and post the pics of it then.
Shame i dont have a red Chris King hub too... that always annoys me
-
What did I miss?Same, Dan6061, I'm intruiged.
Not much.
I read this last night and the first post was exactly how it is now. There was also no replies.
-
the 'tf blow everythign out of proportion' act
Glad im not the only one who notices
*Reads the entire thread*
Damn, i can understand now...
-
Just made my first ever vid. Prepare to be underwhelmed...
The camera battery ran out. Alot more riding was done honest! To be continued......
hehe, cool!
*is intrigued to know what color its going to be*
-
New stem and cut steerer tube down =
I really quite like it
-
like that alot, not so sure on the tyres though
, does it ride nicely, it looks pretty long ?I really like it. To be honest though, theres only 1 other 26" Trials rider that i see often, so ive only got his bike to compare to. He has a GU (Long frame) and it feels totaly different. (My frame is the short version btw)
-

-
Are you being ironic?
Howso?
-
Yeah, thats why i was asking. Do YOU really think that song represents Danny's riding.....really?
Yes, i do.
I would describe the original music as Funeral music. Not music to put to someone doing tailwhips and flairs.
Not being funny, but i liked that!! Music was awesome
HOWEVER!
It wasn't as good as the original, but respect for having a go at this
Thankyou
I don't expect people to prefer it to the original, but i expected a few people to enjoy it none the less...
-
Think for a minute, does that shit music really suit Danny's riding?
Thats a question of opinion. Everyone has different tastes.
-
why did you upload it?, you know that lots of people like the original song, so they won't be too happy.
I actually uploaded it to show a couple of my mates, on the day i uploaded it. Then today i thought id post it here (even though i was 99% sure this would happen...)
-
Has it not occurred to you that whoever made the video might have edited the video so it goes with the audio? You can't just apply different music.
Thats like saying, dont cut up parts of a film and put your own song to it (which there are lots and lots of on youtube) because some movie studio spent millions editing it with the song they picked?
Its not like im pretending this is the ACTUAL video. Ive specifically said, I downloaded the original video... blah blah
-
Loved the original video, but i seem to be one of the very few who really dont like the song
I got bored a few nights ago so i decided to put my choice of music to the video, this ofcourse meant re-editing it to fit. Youtube link below...
The song is Disturbed - This Moment
I have my doubts about what people will think about the song, but i personally much prefer it, so its been worth it from my point of view
-
Good;
Chris King Classic rear hub - Worth every single penny
SKF-BFR600 - Worth every penny
Shimano Sora rear mech - Less than £10 and its lasted over a year so far (as a chain tensioner)
Magura HS33 - Just, f t w
KHE Collapse chain - Ive had 3 now and ive never had a single problem with any of them (i buy a new chain about every 6 months, or less)
Try-all rims - Been running the same pair of Try-alls for about 2 years now.
Bad;
The older Saracen frames - Snapped a Team Issue, Cracked a 2six, Still got a Team Urban but i didnt trust it so i got a new frame lol
Brisa forks (26") - Snapped
Magura TPA wheels - Excellent idea, terrible execution (yes i know they arnt meant to be used for constant adjustment... but plastic? who thought that was a good idea?)
-
Yep - 'cause you get punctures bigger than an 1/8th all the time
Funny you should say that...
I got a nail in my rear tyre today and it was over 1/8th of an inch. I actually brought it home to measure how wide it was
Adamant A2 (updated! Black Tyres!)

I think its because the sidewalls on the new tyres are a lot taller than my old tyres. This makes the wheels seem closer together
