I used to be awful at riding brakeless but when I gave it a proper go I found it quite fun, you do look at everything differently. Then when I got back on a bike with brakes I found my brakeless stint had improved me loads, much smoother and more confident. Because of this I now have two mods, one with brakes and one without.

Bike looks awesome mate, whats the front rim?

Sam I think you've done enough commenting on peoples bike picture threads for now, you're turning Dave in to a very busy man!

Thats rather funny, They've managed to convince their employer that they're job worthy, yet they can't aim for a toilet lolol.

Lol fag.

Cheers man, yeah deffo, maybe we might be able to get Sam to come along. Yeah me and Ogre were down there today, its not too bad, some cool lines but not that much to go at. I think a Buxton ride would be a good idea.

Oh it is mate put new pads in both brakes yesterday got the calipers properly aligned ready for the first proper ride on it today, the result was unbelievable braking power, was totally insane.

What year is the Echo mate? I'm guessing 2011ish?

Only just bled it up when I put it on the bike, but yeah it could do with a new set of pads.

Cheers man, so do I. The only probably is as I found this morning when rebuilding it its pretty much impossible to keep clean lol. Yeah I'll be keeping it for a while at least but I want to put it on my DJ bike at some point. Its pretty shit at the moment though, I completely rebuilt it because I thought one of the seals might have gone but its fine so I reckon it needs new pads. Yeah the 6TI's are pretty pimp all the red stuff on them I had anodised myself bar the top caps, its saves sooo much money lol. I'm guessing it depends on how big the pistons are? The Mono Trial is 25mm and the small M4 pistons are 14mm so the large must be about 16mm. Anyway its much worse the the front Mono Trial so I'm inclined to get a matching rear Yeah the Echo's a beast, just given it a full rebuild this morning and its just perfect, I think its the first second hand bike I've ever bought that I haven't had to change a single thing because it was either broken or shit lol.

Aha I see, I very much wanted the echo aha, was at a decent price as well, but you wouldn't believe how much I got this one for.

Cheers dude. Through a good few years of mainly Ebaying Wilf Was it you that had two very nice mods that you bought and then sold about 3 days later? I was very Jealous.

Hello All, Got myself a new ride so I thought I would let you all know what it is. Frame: Echo Lite 09 Fork: Echo SL (Probably change them pretty soon as I've just snapped a different set, getting them welded up though aha) Front brake: Hope Mono Trial 07 Rear brake: Hope M4 (for now, just until I get the matching Mono Trial) Hubs: Echo TR Rims: Echo TR Cranks: Echo 6061 160mm Freewheel: Echo TR 72 Bar: Changed to a Try-All Rage bar Stem: Changed to a Tarty 165mm by 35° Headset: Echo SL Bought it secondhand off a dude, even thought it wouldn't look it. Few scuffs on the frame, wheel bearings, BB and Headset are all perfectly smooth, even the bash was practically new, had the odd tiny scratch. Also put a few pictures of my trials bike before I got this, my Orange Patriot and my Evil Faction at the bottom. This is my brakeless Speedrace Solo. Found this just after I had taken the above photo Good old Sl's lol Well this is my Patriot before I made a few changes... And this is now. Changed the frame from a 2003 Patriot LT to a 2008 Xcel, And then I wanted to bling my brakes a bit so thought about buying bore caps but then realised it would be more cost affective is I got the ones I already had anodised, so I put the mounts and a few bits in and then it sort of spiraled from there lol. This pic is of everything I got anodised. And then after. This is the 6TI's for my Patriot and then a spare front 6TI and rear M4 all blinged, also with 2 225mm rotors. Yes that is a 225mm rotor And a few of my Evil. Thats all for now, I shall report back when I make some more changes. Cheers Wilf

Don't sell it you mong. Edit: Actually, do sell it, sell it to me.

You actually said "LAD"? GGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY

I've got a hub thing because of this, it works fine just with say a memory stick and on SD card reader in it but if I plug in a big HDD it won't pick it up lol.

Yeah but they're £3 each, just buy a bulk load lol.

Just found this, if I had square taper cranks I would buy 10 of them lol. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=86018 Wilf

Go outside, find a road, find a point where they've joined two pieces of tarmac together (old and new stuff) with tar. Dig it up.

Whats the song mate?

So you've got two mods now both within the space of a few weeks? You crazy man!

Defiantly not a bodge! I do this all the time!

Ahh yeah forgot about that, he makes up for that by 'working' on Saturdays lol.

He does 12 hour days now, 6 till 6. However his commuting time is about 2 mins.

Sweeeeet, Looks sick dude, I'm guessing you paid about £600 for it? I bet its in top nick as well.
