Sorry to be a retard, but... er, does it actually matter?

Buthiers > * Go there. If you have a DH/Freeride bike, bring that to CHamonix instead, you'll have loads more fun >_< When i went there i couldn't see anything to ride at all. You could try Les Gets (a world round was held there) and i seem to remember a big pile of rocks at the top of one of the Dh runs in Morzine. But that's it, seriously. Blag a DH bike off someone.

I still prefere natural but i still don't have much natural round me, so i still ride street every day and i still ride about 10 mins of natural per year. Still. Natural trials rocks! *snort*

Another vote for the Mavic's from over here (Y) EDIT: As long as you spray them well it should be alright? Plenty of laquer etc....

Why is that shocking? (Y)

Nice pics, looks like a very good place to ride :D The second picture looks like it's COLD! Dece (Y)

Shit, that's sad :- Anyone know what he died of?

MC-BOLO, if you havn't realised, this is the internet.

That makes no sense to me :D I agree with Matt, i recon it's gone too far... The front end is gonna have to be thuuper long to accomodate those chainstays and keep that overall length. But anyway, i guess it's good to see innovation :P

You need to move somewhere less shit dude.

Zing! Pics from OTN of the built up NINJA. Discuss.

If i was you, i would take it to someone who knows what they're doing with a grinder, get them to grind your rim. Then get someone to have a look at your pad set up. Then if it works, it works, if it's not up to your standards, then go back to using tar. Get someone used to a grind to ride your bike, and see if they feel it's a shit brake, or a good one and your expectations of a grind are too high.

Learn to ride better so you don't rely 100% on your brake. Also, just do as people have said and ride them in for a good hour or so. Pour water on them, go out trials riding. You could scrub the rim with a clean wire brush to get rid of all the swarf. I recommend using the Heatsinks for this, as they will actually last the one hour bed-in period...

Use a download resumer (Getright or similar) if you can't download it all (Y) Awesome vid Andy, i've had this a fair while, cool music and nice angles etc. :P Can you post the music from vid 2, and this one? I know the music from vid one (if anyone's interested, it's: Trail of the dead - Mach Shau (sp?) Sonic Youth - Diamond Sea Little Champions - Solvents The Pixies - Ed Is Dead) While you're here, could you tell me the music from the FTC short vid? I know it's TV on the radio, i just can't find the song for shit :) Thanks alot, looking forward to the Vince vid, Woody :P

Cheers for that Julien, very useful (Y)

Why is that? Not having a go, just wondering what your reasons are :P If you're basing it on the '04 Echo's then i could understand... EDIT: Aimed at Littleharrys :D

Haha, that first pic was used as a caption comp pic on OTN fecking years ago! I wish i was the owner of that moped :P

Yeh, sorry i meant if you're running a FULL cassette, you'll have no problems. But yeh i see what you mean :P

Stronger: Ronnie Lighter: Echo 'Nicer': Echo (subjective...) One that won't dent at every given oppotunity and be amazingly good: Ronnie. Get a Ronnie.

Yep, the alloy shell should be fine as long as you run either a King Kog or a full cassette with a carrier. The disk mount system looks nice and strong, similar spline system to the Shimano hubs/rotors. Gte Adam to service it if you buy it from Ebay or new from a shop, that way it'll be properly set up for trials :lol:

OMGZ HE LIKE TOTALLY LIKE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEONE WE SHOULD BAN HIM B) :gay: :lol: :- (Y) :D

Because Hayes don't make a 6 pot maybe? And 'cos of weight etc. I really like the look of the stock, nice to see they've put a larger than 160mm rear rotor on there as well. The mod looks ok, good that they've re-vamped it. The toddler's bike looks good, taking care of the 'soon to be' trialsters is always decent :lol:

I've been running my Kool for around 5 months now i think, i have a Kool Thin in the garage, but havn't bothered fitting it yet as the old one is still good.

EDIT: Looks... Interesting. Not a fan of how it looks myself, and as has been pointed out, water and other sorts of shit entering the BB will be a problem. Would it not be possible to eliminate that problem with just a very thin sheet of metal covering the hole?
