williams Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone, sold my Neon bow because I wanted something else.. I needed something strong and reliable, with powerful brakes.. And got this lovely bike! I feel like going 24" was a really good decision, absolutely loving it. Had a ride on it today (26+ is tooo warm sometimes) and it's definetely the best bike I've ever had. Gained a bit of confidence now aswell. This bike made riding that "extra fun" again I really really want to thank my sponsor Outsport for everything, and I hope that 2013 will be a awesome year! I want to thank TCM, and Tartybikes aswell! Spec is: Echo 24" frame. Echo Urban V-brake and disc. Try-all 175mm cranks. Tartybikes bash ring. Echo SL freewheel. KMC 510HX Echo Tr platform pedals. "Can'trememberthebrand" headset... Well it works good.. Echo TR 2013 150x30 stem. Trialtech highrise bars (Horrible bars, euwww :/) Rockman foams. Front wheel and tyre: Echo TR rim, laced to a Rockman BuB hub (Incase if I want a front disc again.) Schwalbe table top folding tyre. Rear rim and tyre: Echo TR rim, laced to a Trialtech hub. Maxxis holy rollers super tacky tyre. Now made into a slicked tyre. Brakes: Front: Tektro V-brake arms, Shimano XT lever, with TNN backings and Rockman blue compound. Rear: 2011 hs11 magura with Rockman blues. Rockman blues are definetely the best pads ever made. I hope you like the bike, and comments are welcome! Cheers!

SamKidney Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Looks lovely. Some nicer photos taken with a camera and not a potato would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) At last monsieur William, looks very standard spec for a 24 but I've seen so many of them now haha. Hope you get on with it but it does look swish, rear facing front magura needed Unless you get an avid sd7 on front, I'm yet to get a front vee that I've liked without an avid lever. Close up pictures of the rear brake lever needed, looks weird for a 2011 magura body. Edited May 9, 2013 by JMCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nicer photos taken with a camera and not a potato would be nice Cheers Yeah haha only took some quick ones in the morning with my IPhone At last monsieur William, looks very standard spec for a 24 but I've seen so many of them now haha.

Close up pictures of the rear brake lever needed, looks weird for a 2011 magura body. Yeah haha finally got my 24" It is a quite standard spec but it feels spot on except the bars. I really like the front V-brake. Super bitey with lots of hold and super easy to adjust Maguras are well nice on the front though. This lever does feel really good, but it's temporarily anyway. Going to get new pictures then:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Looks lovely. I've never ridden a 24" but this one looks definitely worth of trying! How does a 24" feel after a mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I've never ridden a 24" but this one looks definitely worth of trying! How does a 24" feel after a mod? It feels amaaaazing haha! It's like a mix of mods and stocks, it's just perfect for me. I find it much flickier on the rear wheel, and it's easier to get the power down. The only thing that I want to change is the horrible trialtech highrisers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
