im thinking wondered

9 gears??!! Shimano had only just got there heads round 8 speed cassettes when I was riding! Came across these earlier in my dads garage whilst looking for my old Blue Mountain Magura's to steal the koolstop pads out of! My first bash made by cutting the teeth off a middle chainring to go on my Shimano Altus C10 crankset and 2 that my dads mate machined for me out of stainless to go on my 4 arm STX-RC cranks as you couldn't even buy 5 arm bashrings at the time. Had one to run smallest chainring and one to run middle as well in the style of Mr Hans "No Way" Rey!

I spotted that as well! Still can't figure out what "worend" is supposed to mean though!

Kinnel, at that price you'd be better off buyin a new set of Trialtech cranks!

Very good riding and stuff like that gap to footjam was very impressive but brakeless still doesn't do much for me!

Could be worth a try as gotta order some wheels off them soon, think a good £200 order may encourage a bit of help!

Does anyone know if or where I can get replacement cups for my Try All bottom bracket??

How you gettin on with these??

Think I prefer the Ashton vid to Akriggs, recognise a lot of Ashtons riding spots from Chainspotting. Think Akrigg's vid was a pretty poor show with him only wearing a helmet right at the end, specially with all the get offs he has!

Will have to hang on a week or so now till I buy owt else as spent another £95 yesterday! As for you, I think you've got a serious problem! Alcoholics can't stop drinking, nymphomaniacs can't stop having sex, Muel can't stop building trials bikes!

The only thing a reckon's gonna sting me is the wheels, I know I could get some 2nd hand but would rather go for some brand new. Priced some up the other day on tarty website and I think they came to £175 + postage. Got forks, bars and freewheel sorted, just gotta get the rest but will be looking for front disc, cranks, stem and maybe rear maggie 2nd hand to keep costs down.

Aye here's a couple, bit poor quality as I've had to take them with my iphone which is pap!

Now I've cleaned all the sticker residue an stuff off with a bit of brake cleaner it looks pretty good. Gonna be put on the back burner till July's payday now though as I get my bonus then so will be able to splash out on most of the kit I need, may get it coated as I've got loads of time now. Absolutely love it though, just gotta justify with the wife why it's ok for me to splash out on all these new bike frames an parts when I've told her we can't afford to buy her any new clothes

Thats perfect cheers mate, can get it edited in gimp no problems! Gonna change the pitbull to say diddyb anyway, just needed something in high res to work from!

Cheers mehewd!

I had the same problem with my trialtech/tryall combo on my heavy tools when I first put it all together. Ended up buying the echo BB bolts as the tryall standard ones were too short cause you couldn't get the cranks on far enough, think they tightened on an extra 6-7mm over the course of the first 2 weeks I rode it!

Looking forward to seeing how this Echo one rides, should be here today with the rest of my kit needed and my frame (if I'm a very lucky boy) will be powder coated for the weekend so I can get everything swapped over!

Is there anyone on here who does custom stickers? Just asking as having a search revealed there was a lad and his dad who used to make them but there website is no longer in use so are they still going or is there anyone else who could help me??

Frame went in for powder coating this afternoon, fingers crossed it'll be done for the weekend so I can build it up before I start nights next week. I've gone for a nice dark blue, think its sapphire, just cant wait for it to be done!

YES!!! She's arrived in super fast time, was sent yesterday on a 48 hour service! Reckon I may get the frame sprayed white, gonna take it to wqrk tomorrow and get all the glue off the stickers removed and see what it looks like then. Was well excited when I picked it up from the post office, just went wild and ripped it open there and then! Just a big kid at heart me!

I'm with you on that one!! Awesome setup there mate!

Well I've gone for the TR now so will see how it goes, hopefully be up to the job at hand!

Could be a winner then, cheers!

Gotta order a bottom bracket later for my zenith but not sure what to get. I currently have a try all isis in my heavy tools but if i take that out it wont be going back in as the teeth are sheared off which has put me off it a bit as it happened a bit too easily, the question is what should I get? Are the Echo TR isis ones any good? I know its only a £2 saving but it comes with echo alloy bolts which I can use on the pyhton when that gets built up, or should I stick with the tryall. I'm running a ffw and bashring if that helps!
