  1. just get some lightweight forks and reduce the travel with spacers.....
  2. creepy crawlers if you want average grip but awesome wear rate; Try-alls if you want great grip, but not so long-lasting tyres
  3. Yep, works a treat, had it for 4 months and it's hardly worn
  4. an a3 is a mod matey.... ERm try pm-ing muel,he made a disc brake adaptor for his echo lite, im sure he could help you if you decide to fab one. try some zoo pads on the back ( or similar ) for painted or anodised rims, when it tarts to wear through, buy some heatsink reds/ koxx browns and give it a good grind
  5. looks a bit nice biddle, the bars look great as well
  6. tarty nearly always measure with echo urbans, where as the rest oif the websites probably get their info form deng himself who probably measures witht he relative forks ( e.g pitbull with pitbull forks, le with gu forks etc ) these can all be slightly different lengths and rake and so would affect the bb rise and wheelbase slightly
  7. wel.....you've got some good suggestions now, should be a pretty sweet website.... i definitely think the history o#f bikes is a good idea....maybe a timeline as well....starting off witht he onza HO brakes and porc tryres...then moving to the t-bone, t-pro, limey then present day...would really show how the company has progressed throught he time its been in business I really like the scientists idea of having the new product ideas, or scrapped ideas for us to look at, like he said it really helps to get the customer involved in the company
  8. Echo Urbans, Echo cnc cranks, Tensile FFW, 04 maguras F+R, coustellier frame, try-all rims, Maxxis hansventure 2.4/ michelin xc dry 1.9, try-all replica bars, kore stem, pig headset, sts tensioner, kool chain from the front From the back the sticker
  9. i guess you mean rear hub spacing...not bb shell spacing or brake moint spacing.... Im near definite its a standard stock, so 135mm Bear in mind about 3 on this forum have cracked at the "seatstay"
  10. thats cool, if you need any help or get stuck, drop me a pm dude
  11. i reckon you'd be fine...it looks to be the same profile as a bmf or dx-32
  12. Mr Mayer also complained that he is receiving hate mail and telephone threats because of his decision to defend Mr Fritzl. He said: “I am getting letters saying I should be locked up together with Fritzl. But I am not representing a monster; I am representing a human being. As I first saw him, the Latin term pater familias came to mind. It was used to describe the absolute head of the family – caring, but strict. Nowadays people would call that a patriarch.” A patriarch!? next they'll be calling him a patron saint! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle3871049.ece
  13. ive had this problem before.....best thing you can do is get the piston out, sounds like a bit of grit was stopping the piston coming up all the way when you bled it when you over bled it the piston would have hit the obstruction and dragged it down, causing excess friction and stopping the piston coming back up.... Clamp the slaves ( with pads ) in a vice or with mole grips...., now remove lever blade and tpa.....then attach a syringe and bleed kit and force water in....this should force the master piston out the top of the lever body, you can then clean both and stretch the spring slightly

    absolute beast.....the power is just untrue, i mean 10ft static flat to flat....wow
  15. its not much weight to be fair...i dont think its worth changine to be honest....however if you do, i way consider a swapsie with you for various bits
  16. oh....a 74kingz for a mod just use a half link ...
  17. just strip the whole thing down, clean it, replace the rubbish/broken parts....and get some decent pads ( eg cousts / koolstops ) and/or some tar
  18. All that would do is increase this bottom bracket height and slacken the head angle...same effect as running a "mock" .. a mod with stock forks and front wheel Why would decreasing the length of one crank = more power?! Surely the answer is to have longer cranks to increase leverage on both sides....... i ran 175 / 170 for ages and couldn't even tell the difference
  19. use some tar and koolstop pads / crms Or Get a grind and use some koxx browns
  20. why even bother posting? Anyway.... what i did was : 31.8-25.4= 6.4mm 6.4mm /2= ~3.2mm Got some 3mm thick alloy, bent it around bar carefully , cut to length then clamped her up...works a treat
  21. just use some echo cnc'd cranks ( £65 ) with a tensile screw on bashring from me ( £15 )
  22. http://www.starbike.com/php/product_info.p...en&pid=6714 Here it is for sale... hans rey rides with a similar one ( or at least used to when he was riding a red gt in an interview with mbuk )
  23. yeh, mats is damn solid...you cant feel the rim flexing away from the hub at all...just get a decent 3+ x build with some decent spokes with good tension and you'll be fine
  24. marzocchi mx pro's i think.....i wouldn't if i were you, its pretty gay to be honest, the suspension absorbs all your power away from you
