it didnt skip loads, but the lockring came undone a couple of times which led to the skips, I just felt more confident with an echo one

hmm, I have never had great feelings for ENOs, sure they are all replaceable and have sealed bearings, but the ones I had still skipped and they have sslliigghhttllyy oversized threads so are more prone to strip than other freewheels (still hard to do though)

I know what you mean though, I wanna move to australia, not as much rain there

if its pissing it down I wont go riding, but if its spitting I will, plus its often wet at comps and I often ride through wet grass.

To be fair though, Craig used to be a comp rider before he went to street.

each to their own

my front vee on a grind is the most bitey brake ever!

what are people doing if their LGM pads are lasting such a short amount of time?? I am still on my first pair and they are barley half worn!

all the cool cats ride rocks

a few things.....the rear wheel often hits the floor at the 180 point.....I lose my balance and fall off the side.....and mostly I can't spot the pedals and get my feet where I want

right next to Tartybikes HQ, me 'n' Stan had a quick explore on the ground floor recently

I can do about the same with brake and sans brake....ie not very well

take that back!

cant really go wrong with either the Echo TR or SL freewheels or the new Tensile 96 freewheel

a grind adds bite??

or a grind

It takes just standard Isis cranks. We built up an Adamant today, there will be some pics shortly (its rather nice actually) there may be an echo full build very soon too.

no

what type of cake?

no, they are however some of the lightest rims out. Echo urbans are the strongest trials specific rims out, but also the heaviest.

I ordered some coust pads off Micheal, but he sent me the "fake" stuff that heatsink uses, its nowhere near as good as the real thing (although TNN pads are still better )

more pics here

narr I flew, Pat works in Germany and took his car over with him.

very good Mr Aasen
