Yeah is ment to make that sound. Is the hub new? As it is best to wearing it in for a while! then clean it out with GT85 as it makes the engagement feel more solid rather than flexy. Like wright pads said seems abit too much lube. It is really worth doing though! Tom

My god guys what the hell are you lot on about just forget about it! I have to say 250 is quite alot for the frame headset and bb. I'm selling my Adamant A1 which is in good condition with an fsa platinum bb for 160 + 20 if you want it p+p
-
Hey man i have a basically new adamant A1 long only a few scratches on the downtube. looking for around 160. Just woundering if your interested. thanks Tom
-
Its normally about 15 pound if thats ok? add my msn addy as it would make it easier to talk tom919088@hotmail.com
-
I hope this doesn't brake forum rules but i am looking for 160 it would be extra for p+p
-
Not my thing they look bloody awful! Like you said they are to replace a suspension fork but have a slight amount of flex and the advantage is they will be alot lighter.
-
As fare as i know viz parts are alot stronger and nicer than they use to be so no doubt they will be nice and strong. Not too sure about the length though suppose it depends on headtube length and what headset you have
-
Oops sorry didn't mean to offend monty's just wanted to say there are more frames available
-
Yes is in very good condition, am selling due to not liking the bb rise and all the threads are perfect won't be asking much for it If either want it my addy is tom919088@hotmail.com sorry for steeling the thread
-
I'm not too sure on this I'm sure tarty use eno's on their own bikes with echo bb's but could be wrong ask tartybikes or selectbikes sure they will know

I didn't think there were any left not too sure but i would be surprised if some were Hope there are some mate. -
Get the best bike you can afford no need to spend too much if you are just starting out. No need to buy from over here as the other guys have said will be tonnes cheaper from the US
-
Ye have to say a good video with some good riding keep it up, sorry to here about your injury but will make you want to ride more hopefully. But like everyone said it would be nice to see the name just once as most of us can read
-
Is point there is only so much detail you can get on a monitor so what would you do with it:S and its looks stupid i have to say
-
Yeah there not bad frames but i would go with more of the echo,zoo, gu etc. frames as they seem to be alot more value for money.It will no doubt last you a long long time. Have a look around before you buy as there are quite a few frames out now. Tom
-
Yeh is discontinued but sure you could get one from somewhere. Sorry to steel your thread but i have an adamant A1 for sale if you are interested t-pro kid?

cleaning your rim wil make it work better but not all the time. Most people use grinds as they tend to work alot nicer and are consistantly grippy don't slip etc. You can also feel the bite of the brake alot more and in my eyes give you more confidence in your bike and therefore go bigger. My friend use to run a clean back rim and worked nice but nothing compared to a grind. ceramic rims are another story though and work amazing with plaz pads
-
God it just shows how trials has changed so much over the years! I have to say changed for the better though i couldn't imagine riding that well as it looks so short and high. Tom
-
To be honest i would get a new frame it could be that frame is too bulky and getting in your way. I have to say 24" are very nice to ride not the best at natural but still feel sweet all the same. I would have a go on some other shorter 26" and 24".
-
Very nice looking bike i have to say. To me onzas look alot better sprayed and i have to say you have done a good job of it . Bet it rides well! Tom
-
The best way is lower your front end and lean over ur back wheel and bring your "kicking foot" up so you can get more power then kick and through your body into your bars and then took your legs up and then stretch your legs out to land. All comes with practice and takes along time lol. Just keep at it and try getting bigger. Tom
-
Lol funny post. Best bet is to have a go yourself go on google and search how to bleed the brake like the other guys have said it is alot better to bleed with water and it is alot less messy. the only really downside is that water will freeze in cold temperatures.
-
To be honest i think the koxx are more for the look than durability. Its up to you want you get at the end of the day but i have to say onza hog rims are fairly cheap and very similar design from tartybikes
