    Freewheels ?

    I am prety happy with my Echo SL lasted me 8 months and still not a single skip. I would go for a 96 tensile of those 2 you picked. I think Viz is just a remake of the rest of them like rockman, echo TR. Not too sure about rcokman 108, but should be kind of a copy of a try-all one. About the tensile: I've seen some pics on facebook Jack Meek blowing one up. Kind of a hard decision here...
  2. Some great photos! But my favorite was 3rd pic from the bottom where your doing a gap to front. Your girlfriend must have some skills
  3. BUMPiness. People come join our ride in London. And just an update, I will bring +2 more riders with me on sunday. Don't care if it rains, atleast it wont be that hot...
  4. Need to nail the bloody hock ups!

  5. Oh Damn! Well come join us on 6th. Weather should be sweet too!
  6. Got to love all your creativity at riding. Especially Stan's technical skills and Ali's still technical but streety kind of way. It would be nice to watch that Stan's bail though! What happened to him? I can see he might have snapped a half link or just chain stretch as he's riding with the spoke tensioner, what is wrong with those brake mounts, why are they not in the right place? Assuming his bike running 18:15 ratio.
  7. We were riding today. Was an ok ride, but it was me and my mate throught out the day. Saw the masive strike going down westminster, stopping the traffic completely! I think there was more than a thousand people there going "FREE FREE PALESTINE". But I am going London on the 6th again to ride with thatt dude from Germany.
  8. Just an update. We will be at sloped walls around 11.30 till about 12 to wait for people.
  9. Me and few of my friends heading there tommorow. If you want to ride then. Weather should be good too.
  10. Thanks. The only thing was realy just hammering it down...
  11. Hi. My non drive side bearing is going after year of riding which I am prety impressed at, because I am left footed. I know tarty sell them and thank god have them in stock. Just wondering how would you replace it, would call tarty but it's too late now. Also is there any nice light BBs around that would have a longer non drive side bearing?
  12. I usualy go about 23-25 on the front and round 30 on the rear. I found that it more stable when tapping with presure higher than 20 on the front.
  13. Come ride Gravesend on sunday/monday people. There is some new marble tables build by council they are sweet! Rest of it is good to! Give me a shout!
  14. Hey. I am considering it! Need some practice before tarty days

    Although he was riding "his" Yaabaa stinger that had 45 BB but I guess long chainstay make it feel lower. I ridden Adamant that had +10 BB rise, GU with +35 (or 40 not sure) by 380, yaabaa stinger 45 by 390. And now riding Slate 2 with 55 and 380. I would say GU and Stinger felt amazing on the back wheel, prety much hopping by themselves and were realy stable! These are frames that helped me progress a lot! I only ridden Slate 2 for 2 days now, but feel there is something about this comp machine, not sure what...Rear wheel hops and gaps are kind of tricky, that must be 4 weeks break, but rolling thing (taps, ups, etc.) and static stuff to front is prety damn comfy.

    Ozonys Curve - expensive, heavy frame for bashing (i would think) round £600. Has got intergrated booster and tensioner. And it's suuuper looong.
  18. If you realy want to try it. I bought one 6 month ago, ridden it twice and it been sitting in the corner ever since. I can sell it for 30 posted if you're interested.
  19. I think you are right, I just checked that SL comes with disc only. So are they stronger? Definetly not the new echo range because I can't see anything but URBAN and SL
  20. Definetly looks better than the old one that had clown like colour scheme.
  21. Hi. I notice that the brake pads were woubling about and did no sit in the cylinders properly, noticed that o-rings were missing. Is there a way to get some o rings and put them in? Oh, I should have checked tarty 1st, they have Tnn o-rings, they should be exactly the same?
  22. It is a bit of a lady tire on the back. Not too sure on the forks, are those SL? SL+HS=DEATH I do like hydroxxes. Isn't that front end a bit too high?

    Slate Ii Silver

    We can actualy ride now! DO you want to come to Gravesend on thursday? There will be few people riding. Weather seems promising!
  24. So did my last exam yesterday. I build my baby just today. Also got try-all forks, but the colour (matt black) seems a bit different than on tarty and there isn't a hole underneath them. Can this be a new model, all the welds are exactly the same, but noticed that steel steerer is a bit thicker than my old disc forks. Although they do fit stiff and brake feels solid. I think It's about 9kg, but will check tommorow for sure. Just need to get new bash as it was the only one laying around, still does the job. More pics to come tommorow!
