Laurence--Trials

I want to raw my frame within the next week or so, what i wanted to know would it be best to put a layer of laqure (yes i cant spell) over the top?

what bars did you buy? what sprocket are you running at the moment? if its a 14T want to swap? i've got a 15T.

That'll ride so much nicer with a higher bar and stem. Looks old school being that low haha.

That looks so nice, even if the front end is stupidly high.

Looks nice man! I would put a mod stem on it though.

The mod looks lush, I like the look of it with a tentioner, probably not practical though.

Is there anyway to help this because mine is quite bad. It's hard to tention my chain. Would running a full bashing help as appose to a half ring?

Haha brad that did make me laugh. Assuming you're applying for it typed thing, formal letters are usually a good place to start, include pictures and what not. Any ideas you might have. Maybe see if you can get a meeting with the organisers too.

I've stripped the threads on my frame I don't know what it's called but they're like little springs that clamp to te edge of the hole. They're really good easy to replace if need be and even easier to fit.

Saints really are the best, ive never had them slip on me once, the hold is amazing. Used them on the rear of my mod and got them on the front of my 24" faultless brake.

I'll just keep quiet :$ haha

I'm no beginner, im doing fairly average stuff and bigish drops.

I ment pure trial, on 24. Personally when i'm traveling a-b, need modulation or need to stop quietly, i use my front brake, (disc). my rear vee is silent, no noise atall unless i drag it which i never do, i dont pull skids or anything like that, and it has more than enough power.

I dont think duel disc is practical on anything but mod personally. I just cant see it taking off on 26 and 24inch bikes. Front disc is all good but rear isn't great.

Assuming you're talking about the steel ones too, not true! my echo tr platforms are 2 years 2 months old and the only problem i've ever had with them is one of the bolts cracked into 3, which was easily replaced. Still going strong. Also, they now look like this.

Bit of a funny bar angle for you carl Looks good though.

Best video of 2012.

Voted

excellent riding as always matty! keep it up. Was amazed at the backflip.

Insane. crazy riding from you there mate, had a good laugh at the bails too haha.

Looks lushh! best echo 24 ive seen. would look better if the bars and stem were black IMO

they seem to get worse the newer they are, 04 is best, no major problems as far as i know. The 05 cracks. the 11 leaks and seems to have problems with flex.

The evo boosters arn't amazing, however it could make a slight difference. Why not fit it and try? it wont cause any problems. What fork/brake setup are you using?

Guess it does the job intended. Aslong as it stays on two wheels im not complaining.

How come you're changing frame G?
