ive only ever had 04s, my last one had an rb lever which was the best brake i ever had. but i got rid of it when i sold my last bike and ive been kicking myself for it ever since.
does nobody make aftermarket levers for pre 04s anymore?
-
ive still got an el gato on my girlfriends trials bike, they were good back in the day. i remember always wanting the hope mono front hub straight laced to an xc717 rim for the front, like the martins used to use, looked amazing and i finally got one and trashed it in two weeks
-
i moved up to fort william in october from dunoon, but havent ridden much yet due to working lots and rubbish weather. will need to get out and meet some people aswel if possible?

You can definatley run a 20tooth chainring on middleburns as i used to use this although i am not sure about an 18 tooth chainring, i do know however that you can get a smaller bashring but im not sure on the chainring size on it.

Hehe, Me and a mate started after watching tricks and stunts by the martins about 5-6 years ago
-
that is a really nice bike mate. how does it ride??
-
-
i like both. street is good for going big and flow, where as natural is good for practise, fun and falling off lol
-
yeah does look alot tidier mate, good job did you spray it yourself??
-
iv snapped a mision prodigy at the headtube because i was doin jumps on it at a skate park
and i snapped the down tube on a woodman t-pro because it was made out of crap!! -
Iused to have an identity dr jekyll for riding to places and for jumping but i sold it to my brother and now i just put up with cycling everywhere on ma echo
-
yeah be safe and get a new one!
-
I saw a couple of people in my school riding and thought that it looked amazing so i started trying to learn on my old y-frame, then i bought the video- Tricks and Stunts and i was totally hooked after that! so i bought a DDG Shooter
-
for me it would be:
either ma helmet or some form of hat
an animal t-shirt usually red lol
animal jeans or shorts depends on the weather
a lowlife belt with flames on it
and a pair of dc shoes
oh and a pair of old torn sweaty fox gloves
-
Did you get a manual with your brakes?? because it shows you in there how to trim your hoses down without needing to bleed it.
-
Has anyone ever had any problems with these?? because my m8s got some but lastnight when we were out riding his pedal body fell off the axel whilst just riding along but the nut that holds it on is still on the axel, so im not quite sure how this happend. any ideas?? cheers
-
Also fling some loctite on the on the bolts then tighten up and wait to dry. Just dont over tighten the bolts or they may snap and then you'll have half a bolt stuck in ur bb
-
i have had my try-all for a long time now and just bought my mate towlers echo frame off him, pimped that sucker up and well few weeks down the line bottom bracket goes....only to find out that the non drive side bearing had completely dicintegrated..so is their any plac ei can get new bearings because well im a poor student and i aint paying another £40-£60 for new BB as yet!!
the try-all bb that was in my giant did that aswell when i was at fortbill last year, was super annoyed but i managed to save for an echo one along with a control. much better!
-
my first trials bike was a ddg shooter, the very basic model and my 1st upgrade was a 521 on a deore rear wheel lol
-
this is weird because i was actually thinkn up a name for my echo last month, and i thought since echo is actually a greek name for a girl id call it Eleanor like from gone in 60seconds, which is also a greek name beginning with an E. she is my Unicorn lol
-
iv got the old 33s with an rb lever blade filed down 2fit on the rear and bled with water n they work amazing cant fault them atal. this is the 5th year iv had them with only the hoses and pads bein replaced. so id say definetly get sum!!
