Should say on the back of it shouldn't it??

Will just have to see how I get on with it then, don't know without trying! If it doesn't feel right I'll just look for summat else!

Outdated geo and heavy don't concern me, I'm coming from a zenith!! Do you know how much the frame weighs??

Think I've seen revolution years ago, what was the vid with all the aussies in it??

I'd just give it a good flush out with water and bleed it with that, I was very dubious about it at first but did mine when I had to take it apart and had no proper fluid and it works great now!

Aye there's a t pro ending on ebay at 12 tomorrow with no bids at the moment and starting at £80! If I had the spare cash I'd buy it for the sake of it!! Love spending money!!!

Just been having a quick flick of the Meta website and it says at the bottom that their frames are so I was just wondering if anyone on here had actually snapped one??

I love it how the magura website says And the profiles in question?? Trekking, enduro, all mountain, x-country and xc race. Yet again we go un-noticed

I use a long on my stock and a short on my mod, guess it just depends on the setup of the bike really.

Will do if they ever get removed, only got them a few weeks ago so will probably never get removed for a good few years yet!!

Dont know whether it makes that much difference, all I can tell you id the fit of the metal backings on my maguras is so tight on the o ring I can't get them off!!

Should do as if the pads stuck to the disc the lever would still return

Not sure on the weight but going off what the modern Control's are I'd stick my neck out and say around 1.8kg maybe?? It'll definately be lower than 2.2kg of Zona though! Yeah I suppose your right about the geo, I need to get out to a big ride sometime so I can get the feel of some other peoples bikes and see how they ride. Until then I'll just have to keep coming up with excuses for the wife about why I couldn't turn down such a bargain when something pops up!!

Wheelbase: Long 1085mm Chainstay Length: 377mm BB Rise: Long 15mm Head Angle: 72 degrees I've literally only ever ridden my heavy tools trials and have no idea of geo on that, a zenith and an 07 python so this means nothing to me in terms of how it'll ride!

Had a search on google for a pic and came up with the geo from trials wiki But still interested in how they ride??

Cheers Ben thats the kind of feedback I'm after!

Hence my post, tartybikes will advise you on how to modify that particular tensioner to work with that particular chain all you need to do is either drop them a phone call or an email! Why spend more money on another tensioner?

I also thought stuff like in every mag have a ride out with locals, to get rider profiles of not just professional riders but people who ride for the enjoyment. Say, if there's a ride in Leeds then tag along, take a few pics for the mag, get some bike specs and some general history on how they started riding, why they do it, if they wanna go anywhere with it. What you reckon?

Yeah purple is too dark to go with black so I'd stick with white, or change the colour of the frame!

As shown on Tartybikes page for the rohloff tensioner-

I'm sure a few of you on here know of Trial Magazine and probably also know that it doesn't really contain much bike trials in. The thing is, I know the boss who started the mag up and he's asked me to ring him regarding getting more stuff in there to interest us lowly non petrol propelled riders so before I speak to him I just want to see what would make you interested enough to buy the mag? I initially thought the basics like new products, results and pictures from comps, rider profiles, etc, but thats just me. I want to see what everyone would like to read, hopefully I'll be able to convince him to give cycle trials a bigger share which will be good for us as it's a magazine worth buying to read and good for him as it might improve his sales. This is also partially aimed at people like tartybikes and heatsink pads as whilst most of us know of them it may still help them out with a bit of exposure if they got involved. Like I said before, I've got to speak to the boss first and for all I know nothing may come of this but its worth a try, let me know what you think!

Aye thats the one, not sure really which it is! Was just in a spending mood really and fancied a change!

I'd say it depends on how tall you are and what generally feels good, anyone who's seen a pic of my python will have noticed the 65mm worth of stem stackers + high rise trialtech stem + zoo riser bars which I think are like the trialtechs and it's perfect for me!

Bought an echo modstock off here at the weekend and I'm just wondering what they ride like?? It's only my 2nd "proper" trials frame after a zenith (which I've convinced my cousin to buy off me) so was just wondering how they ride? I've had a look about but can't find the geo or weight of them so if anyone could advise me I'd be grateful, think it's an 06. On the zenith I was doing alright but there was something about it that didn't quite gel with me like my python does so I'm hoping I'll have a bit more luck this time round! Oh yeah, I have searched for info but me and the search function don't seem to get on very well!!

Do you know how much railway sleepers weigh? Had some lads swapping some at my box the other week, 12' long ones and took 4 men to move them!
