Blake Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Got my 24 sorted now, haven't uploaded pictures yet. Few things need to change. Crank arm hits the slave and the frame a bit need to sort that out but not sure what cranks to get. First up, spec list: Frame: Echo 24" 2012 Fork: Because V and disk Front brake: Avid FR5 lever, cheap cable, acera arms and HS yellow pads Rear brake: 04 lever, maggy slaves, echo clamps (old school ones) HS yellow pads Handlebars: New Trialtech high risers (NOW with SUPER HIGH WISE EUGHHH) Stem: Old school echo stem, 145x25 I think...(cheeky upgraded bolts) Headset: FSA Orbit Equipe Grips: Trialtech foams (want some thins) Rear wheel: Hope pro 2 on echo TR rim with halo spokes and fat albert tyre, DH tube and home made rim tape Front wheel: Zoo sealed hub on echo TR rim with halo spokes and DMR tyre, more homemade rim tape (shoutout kennard for tyre) Cranks: Trialtech 165's with some shitty sprocket Bash: Flawless bikes quater ring Chain: KMC z510 (might be HX) Pedals: Cheap shit off tarty, want some trialtech platforms. Think that's everything, thinking of changing to FFW because rear wheel weighs a ton. Pics: shout out onetonnunn for some carbon spacers eh Cheeky bit of Ti AYYYY One ti bolt snapped going in, confidence inspiring eh Bare material Sorry for shitty bike pictures, here's a couple of me on it in southampton. Shoutout JJ leigh for the pics, nothing big on my part. Let me know what you think George x Edited February 16, 2014 by DrStix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials hoe Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Looks lovely, maggie needs a splitter though Tt cranks have less offset than other cranks? I'd say stay with 165s though, 170mm on my 24 feel a bit light for my liking. Makes me want a pro2 even more now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Looks a lil different to other 24's, seen too many now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I know, it just seemed like you and Fraser had missed that line from George. Understandable as it was buried in between the wall of text and wall of pics Just figured it might help clarify if there was a misunderstanding about to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say stay with 165s though, 170mm on my 24 feel a bit light for my liking. Makes me want a pro2 even more now... yeah the tt's are pretty shit. They flex a lot as well and smack the slave/frame. Wouldn't mind putting my 170 zoo's back on for the stiffness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24martin Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) i honestly wouldn't bother switching over to a FFW setup for weight saving! i built my echo 24 with FFW to begin with, then remembered i didn't really like freewheels and bought a chris king hub for the rear and changed my drive setup... i didn't notice any weight difference at all going from a lighter setup to a heavier setup! nice build though pretty much identical to mine except i have the older version of the frame, and longer cranks! (running 175mm tt crannks with no clearance issues) Edited January 7, 2014 by 24martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials hoe Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 yeah the tt's are pretty shit. Haha fair play, was looking at a pair of those as a cheap way of trying 165s...think ill dodge the tts then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Looks good George! How you finding the switch? I found it a it less flicky compared to the riding mod. But i found gaps and to fronts easier as the bike was longer/higher up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i found gaps and to fronts easier as the bike was longer/higher up! Yeah they are a ton easier, I haven't ridden for so long so still just trying to get used to riding again, not going as big as I did on my mod yet but climbing back up bar height is a lot higher too so sidehops look tiny. It's certainly not as flicky but my mods always weighed a ton and wheren't really flicky at all Haha fair play, was looking at a pair of those as a cheap way of trying 165s...think ill dodge the tts then. They're not bad cranks but you get what you pay for, £50 cranks feel like £50 cranks are the crazybike ones the same alloy? never had an issue of rubbing on my mod, it's just the bigger wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Description says the same they look similar to me...could be a case of different stickers same stuff. Edited January 7, 2014 by trials hoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Description says the same they look similar to me...could be a case of different stickers same stuff. I've heard crazybike are using different alloys but just got all the CNC programs off of deng and other such peoples. Don't know about cranks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 1 that bike is sweet, i think I know what my next bike will be 2. why would an individual would use a rear hub that has built in freewheel rather then a front freewheel system, as trial bike supposed to have? 3. is not that trousers pushing your balls up to your stomach? I mean I am a fan of skinny jeans I like them but that is too skinny for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I am a fan of skinny jeans I like them but that is too skinny for me I already had the pro2 and prefer the reliability, I may go front freewheel in the future. Trials bikes are not supposed to have front freewheel, it is just the modern preference for price, weight and compatibility with modern parts. No these jeans are fine I have a vagina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
