WTF Just, please, delete the whole topic, or it should at least have "18+" or "normal people free topic" or something! By the way making pictures of something like that isn't the smartest things, you should first consult a doctor! It's not like saying "hey, guys, look at this chick I banged last night" or something...

Well anyone that opened an Echo brake could tell that it isn't from the seals and it looks like you haven't. The thing is that because it is idiotic cnc aluminum the water somehow ruins it (yeah I don't have a better word for that) and the cylinder isn't "fresh" anymore (yeah I'm not good with the words). And that's why they leak because they have small scratches which are caused by the water. The Magura ones don't have the same problem because they aren't aluminum only. They have another compound and are a completely different alloy. So grinding it means to make it "fresh" again. You have to use sandpaper (around 1000-1200) so that the cylinder doesn't have the scratches anymore. And if you make this thing one-two-three times you will have to change the seal, because the diameter of the cylinder changes and bla bla bla. Am I being specific now?

The problem is not with the seals, even if you changed them things won't be fine. You have to grind the cylinder and then it might work fine and of course with mineral oil.

Yeah that's what happens to TryAlls. Just when reassembling it don't put grease in it. It will make the springs stick and won't work properly. Just clean it out and put some oil...maybe a lot of oil. And of course clean it up well

Just forget about paint jobs and go ride make a paint job of your own like riding and smashing your lower tube in a rail or something:P

The 06 Pitbull were the way to go! I bought one 2 years ago and smashed a lot of walls with it, then a friend bought it from me. He was a bigger smasher than me and now another guy rides it and there are no cracks at all! The only problem was with the threads, but that was easily fixable. The stuff looks great and the prices aren't that unreasonable. Koxx frames are more expensive and let's not start on the strength of them....The forks are the same deal. And yes the new SL forks look easy to break, but the point of the SL stuff is to be lightweight...hence they should be ridden light. A good breakthrough for Deng if you ask me. I heard that he also has his own factory which means he is going to make the frames himself or at least witness the process of welding and I really hope there won't be any more perversions like the GU frames.....the welds look as if they were maid in a shaking elevator, during one of the giant earthquakes and the guy who does them has Parkinson's disease......I just don't want to comment. And after seeing what's wrong with his frames for now, maybe he made better design without the old flaws. Go, Deng!

Just went on a short one-hour-ride. It was great, thanks to all who wrote you were helpful Just skipped once, but then I realized my derailleur was out of the chain, so I guess then the chain skipped. And psycholist thanks for the explanations around the freewheels

Yep. They were in the correct order. I can't understand though why are they in this order....They engage 3 at a time right? So that makes one of the engagements with 2 long and one short and the other engagement is with 2 short and one long...or am I just an idiot....that's an option too. Well whatever we'll see what happens in time.

Well I opened it up, cleaned it up (by the way it didn't have any grease at all), put some oil on the paws' holes and closed it up. It had some metally thingy in it (a little chip of metal) which I removed and hope it is from that thing that it skipped. Thanks for all the answers, will write after I ride (tonight is a drinking night )

Thanks for the answers. The freewheel is quite loud, not like a new King or TryAll. I will disassemble it tomorrow and will put some oil in it if it is greased up... If there's a mechanical problem I will be looking for my warranty...although my mate's one also skips a little... Anyway I will try and fix things and thanks again

That bad huh

Is it normal for a brand new White Industries Trials ENO to skip on its first day of riding A LOT. It skipped like 10 times of lazy riding..... So my question is did this happen to any of you ENO riders and is it going to pass away or I should return to TryAll? Thanks in advance

Just a little video from Bulgaria filmed in Kazanlak. Hope you like it Feel free to comment

I think that the place you smashed it in is pretty tough I would recommend you not to use it. The chain might skip a lot in these teeth and you don't want YOUR teeth on some wall! Isn't that covered by the warranty or has it expired already?

I actually did this I just bought a SONY DCR-HC51E. It's nice and it's with a mini DV. Will try it soon and make a video soon and hope it's not going to make any problems.

Thanks for all you answers. Actually here in Bulgaria there isn't much of a choice. I can choose among JVC, Sony, Panasonic and Samsung. I want to go with Sony though, because I trust their products the most. I like the JVC cameras too. My moms school has one that records on a hard drive and the quality is excellent. Although I think it doesn't support 0 LUX recording...or am I wrong? The Panasonic ones are kind of expensive for my pocket...at least the models they have here. NRBCycles what's your mail I want to ask you a thing or two about the way of recording and the difference it seems that you know a lot and will take some of your time if you don't mind Thanks again, guys I love you

I am about to buy a video camera and was wondering what to look for. I buy it to film trials riding so who's better to ask than the people who had done this already. So what camera do you use? Is it on mini DV or on a mini DVD? I am excluding the HD version cameras, because they are too expensive... And all the other characteristics and models of cameras will be well taken I just need advice. I have currently stopped on a Samsung with mini dvd recording, but really like the Sony one and it is on the same price but it is on mini DV. So what is the difference is there any difference at all when you upload everything on a PC? Thanks in advance.

One of my favorite riders. Aggressive and huge. His best video isn't among these though and I can't find it in youtube. It's called V-L_by_ZOO!(x-bikers.ru).avi . It's with the french song from District 13. My bows to the guy

So summer is here and the water at sea is with perfect temperature....Jumping without the bike in is fine, but am wandering if I jumped with the bike what will happen to it? I saw a lot of clips where people jump in, but never heard what happened then. Is it ok for the freewheel or the hubs and bb bearings? Or maybe the aluminum? I asked a friend that is in these stuff and said that the sea water will not react good with the aluminum, but if you wash it right away(or just a bit later) with normal water, there will be nothing to worry about. Is that true? So if any of the experienced in this sphere people have something to say please do. Will be grateful And if visiting will buy beer

So dengalitious By the way what are the tires they look really nice?

The longer the crank arm the more power you get from your drivetrain. The shorter the crank arm the more balance you have on the bike. You decide what you want

Clean the rotor with kerosene or spirits or something like that. You might want to try to boil the pads, but since they are new I don't think that would be the problem. Oh and it might not be bled properly...not trying to say that you can't bleed brakes it's just a friend had the same problem it had a little bubble of air in it and it wouldn't stop properly. I "HOPE" I helped

Yeah same thing happened to my Echo hub. It's just that Deng doesn't put some great bearings and they break faster than normal bearings. Just change them it is easy and the bearings are standard(unlike the Chris King ones for instance). Good luck

That's not me on the movie it's a friend and he is getting a TP
