Jason222 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Echo Control 1065Cheap Gary fisher rigid forkAdamant Cranks and BashEcho rear brake (that's defective and leaked all the fluid...)Chris king hub laced to black Echo 07 rear rim18x16 gear ratioDmr single speed tensioner50/50 pedalsThis is my first trials bike! I've been riding street trials on a trek jack for a while now, finally got my trials build finished! I've done very little rear wheel stuff because the rear brake doesn't work, so I havent really had a chance to get used to it. I can really say it's much harder to bunnyhop this thing than my DJ bike was! I had a hard time hoping up a 29" wall the other day...oh well, I'll get used to it eventually. Having a rear brake might help too...lol. Oh, and by the way, I'm a Canadian! P.S. : Echo brakes only cost 25% more than Maguras in Canada... Maguras are roughly 75 GBP and Denguras are 95 GBP.

Walleee Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 very nice indeed for a first bike.Those forks are definately not what that bike was designed to be used with, they look very short, both in leg length and 'rake' so much so that your BBmay be lower than it should be, but yeh, a cheap pair of standard geo forks will set that right off.

Fixed Pants™ Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Odd colour forks reprahzent!Looks nice, certainly kitted out nicely. Brilliant for a first bike too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 LOL! Thanks for all the comments. Yeah, that fork is just temporary, just to get the bike ridable. I actually bent my fork at the dropouts a little while ago, it still works but feels odd. Good Ol' Cromoly! hahaha. I think I'll get an Echo HiFi fork next week for it... Should look ace when it's done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason222 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I added a new pic to the first post. I put the new urban fork on, and an avid bb7 instead of that terrible V brake. Also threw a new front tire on, has a lot more traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
