  1. I haven't still opened mine and I will tomorrow maybe, but if they are the same as the magura's (I mean the pistons) then you can buy a new one from a hardware store or in my case from a sealings and bearings store.

    Will write when I open it.

  2. Ok I guess I should change the title External Echo BBs now :D

    I changed the tensioner it just doesn't make the tension good. It doesn't use a spring it is just tightened with two bolts - one on the tensioner that tightens it for the axle and the hub one which tightens it to the frame, but it's just two kicks tension and then no tension at all.....

    I was thinking of how and where to put a spring on it and if someone has any ideas please tell, cause it really looks cool ;) So fare I figured that if it is tightened to the hanger from the other side it works fine and it has some space to move freely.

  3. Has anybody tried one and in he has did he like it how it works or does it work at all, because I have one with an Adamant hub and it is absolutely horrible...I mean I make one pedal stroke and the chain is loosen again because of its movement. I don't know whether I am an idiot or it really doesn't work.

    Please tell me your opinion, because personally I'm confused

    Not sure if the information is absolutely correct, but imo it is.

    Yeah 06 is +60.. thanks anyway.

    Adam

    06 is actually +50....I saw it in a Hungarian web site before I got one and it said +55.....few months later I decided to measure everything on my bike (used Echo Urban 06 fork) and the CS was 375, WB 1075 and bb +50....and I am completely sure that they are correct cause I measured them like 5 times with different methods and they all came the same so....

  5. You can wash your rim with petrol(works outstanding) then put some tar on it. If it doesn't work good with tar than just make a grind it is just the best thing to do.

    You can also try to readjust the pads so that they are adjusted perfectly you can improve it a lot this way.

  6. yea there is a fair bit of flex but sorted with the booster

    Actually the Zoo! Pitbull 05 and 06 don't have build in boosters but the things Tunnicliffe did with the 05 and the brake didn't slip at all.......I don't know imo a booster isn't needed if you have a good brake setup

  7. Well since they are almost the same (5mm difference in the bb rise) and the pure is 150 grams liter I don't think there will be much of a difference between them. I haven't rode any of them but imo the pure will ride nicer because of the weight......I'd actually go for the pure if I had to choose

  8. go into skf then and get me some. i will pay you fella.

    http://www.skf.com/skf/productcatalogue/js...amp;catalogue=1

    if anyone can figure out if skf can do a needle bearing that will take the place of the two poo bearins i will forever be your debt

    imo you should just go to a shop that sells bearings and ask the seller. They have these gigantic catalogs with every bearing that exists of the selected company and you will find out if there is and maybe even buy or order some :)

  9. Actually if you want a really strong bearing....I'm talking about the BEST bearings you should buy a SKF bearing. My Echo Fixed did the same thing. All three bearing which are on the non drive side teared apart just like the one on the pics. The fourth one was fine. This is because I am right footed and when I land a gap I land it sideways on the non drive side and in 6 months of riding you get broken bearings :) So now I bought SKF bearings which cost like 10 pounds a peace and will have no problems for at least three years........I hope :D

  10. If my memory doesn't lie the Chris King drivering is also glued in......yeah actually from seeing a movie of how to put back together a King it is........So it maybe depends on the glue.....

    Never ridden a deng freehub, but the 108.9=shit. It's been like 6 months of riding and my riding is like 2 times at a week and it started skipping last week......Thinking of getting an Echo FW maybe.....

  11. I have a question about the Echo bleed kit. Are there any at all? If there is, is it different from the magura one? And where do you get one?

    Just too lazy to make up a new topic, that's why I'm writing here :)

  12. Yeah I meant break as in crack not brake :D Don't mind me the time here is midnight and I'm sleepy :)

    Thanks for the info and was wandering if the fork is about to break are there any sings of that like little cracks or it just breaks, cause my old fork broke just like that and I haven't noticed anything suspicious before.....not that I look at it all the time.....
