i don't do comps, but i usually eat about 4 bananas thrououghtthe day if i'm out on a big ride. sorts me out a treat.

Got bored this evening, so added some style to the new lever.

lol, be a lonely ride...

Some seriouse bumping up of old topics going on here...

Cheers, i'm not keen on loads of colours an everything anodised. weighs in at 9.2kg. I don' t know how other peoples bikes are so light... or it could be my dodgy fishing scales i'm weighing it on. lol

Spec for those interested: Frame and Forks - Frame: Echo lite 09 (Long) - Forks: Echo Urban 09 Wheels - Front hub: Try-All H100 Disc - Rear hub: Try-All H116 Non Disc - Chain tensioner: Try-All H Snail Cams - Front rim: Try-All hOle - Rear rim: Echo SL - Spokes: Sapim Race - Rim tape: Custom - Front tyre: Try-All Sticky - Rear tyre: Try-All Sticky Lite Brakes - Front brake: Hope Mono Trials With Tech Lever and Kevlar hose.

With the rotor, depends how badly it's bent. if it aint to bad. i'll fix it for you if you come riding next week. With the lever, i'd also say a new diaphram mate. along with a good bleed through. (i'll also give you a hand with this if you need it?) i've got the fluid.

This should be a good ride then. i'll bring the bananas.

This.

Please come, I've been thinking about getting a 320 for ages! but don't want to buy one without riding one first.

Yeah, i'm well up for this. i've needed someone to film me for years. lol. just never got round to it. Toby will be coming aswell.

some sweet riding there. i like the cardboard crowd at 2:51. haha

sweet, you free next week anytime ?

I've moved to wattisham during the week now. Are they any rides going on i'm missing out on ? Or any other trialsers up for a ride at some point ? Thanks, John.

Immense, WHAT A PLACE TO RIDE!

Each post seems to amaze me just a little more...

nice, i like how the tyres have an old skool feel. with the white pin stripe.

Personally, i think you need to setup the bike to how you want it to feel! so it's comfortable. Not get the front as low / high as you can because other people have and they can hop higher or so on. Practice and technique is more to play with it than the setup of the bike.

says it's bled with phluid.

Torn the threads out of the tpa wheel... possibly need a new tpa. quite a common problem.

Primer wont really be necessare if it's rubbed down properly.

Dayem i want a set of those bars. How do you find them ? Stiffness wise.... compaired to regular alloy bars ?

mono trial without a doubt...

Defo misundestood something there mate... They do not have cylinder washers, but his are not clamping the cylinder enough. so could be down to bolts being too long. So a washer on the bolt would make it shorter.
