  1. Not that I know of, we've been searching for around the last year since they stopped making the Collapse. The Tank chain is completely OTT really. See my post above for recommendations. The 710 is a good chain, but in our opinion/experience/customer's experiences the Z610/Z510 are better, but ONLY in HX model.
  2. Z610HX, or Z510HX if you aren't very good at joining chains.
  3. They are discontinued unfortunately. And half link chains are dodgy on trials bikes.
  4. My guess is that your bike shop hasn't bled them correctly. The Goodridge stuff is very tricky to bleed. If you can move the lever blade before the pads start to move, then take them back and get them to do it again
  5. I think it would be possible with some modification.
  6. I've used the same set of aluminium Pro-Bolts since we started stocking them in June 2008 and they are still like new. The amount of time a bolt lasts is 100% down to the user - selecting the right bolt for the application, then using the correct tools and procedures to install/maintain them. The bolts in the Echo booster are titanium, using the incorrect allen key will damage them instantly.
  7. Ideally you would lathe down the piston until it fits... but sandpaper/filel would do the job if you are careful. Take the seals off first though!
  8. Thanks for picking up on that
  9. Yeah, the Rockman forks have less offset so that makes the wheelbase shorter... But it's only really a number.
  10. That's the 'problem' with making stuff... People for years have been moaning that Echo haven't made a Disc AND 4-Bolt frame, then when they do you get an opposite comment, haha.
  11. Track pump? We once had to get one up to 140psi before it started to move...
  12. Exactly, such as: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/bash_rings/neon_bow_halfring/c1p11484.html http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/bash_rings/trialtech_titanium_halfring/c1p10557.html Etc.
  13. Unless it's gonna be steel, that will deform pretty quickly... you need some sort of 'bracing' in the big hole.
  14. As above! In video form: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/guides/maintenance_hydraulic_rim_brake_setup/m3.html
  15. Yep, #3 caliper: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_spares/hope_mono_trial_caliper/c110p10955.html?tab=additional_information#box
  16. Pretty sure you will need a 'proper' tool to make crank bolts, as you'll be torquing them down quite hard... with the fork insert, there is no resistance at all.
  17. No need, just give the end of the allen key a tap with a mallet and it'll do the job easily Hehe, no worries. It looks like you've made it M18 though from the proportions...?
  18. Nice one Have done a few similar top cap adaptors to that in the past, usually just tap an M6 thread up the centre then hammer a 5mm allen key into it - it broaches a short (few mm) allen key fitting into the thread so you can fit the adaptor, then screw the top cap as normal into that thread. Looks like you have done M18 x 1.0 (which is the correct thread size), just thought I'd pop that in for search-friendlyness...
  19. You *can* do it but it pretty much destroys the cylinder - you need a lot of force to remove and it usually mangles the pad clip or scores the piston surface itself. The piston is press-fitted onto a 'reverse' spring assembly (hard to explain)...
  20. Yeah Phil is still running Selectbikes, but as said he's got a 'proper' shop as well now. Safe to order from
  21. The advantage of using the phone instead of emailing...
  22. Yes - however we decided against it for various reasons. We will be doing something for mobile users in the near future though. Of course Echo were out of stock on our last order, your best bet would be a custom build. Good stuff, glad Royal Mail were nice and fast
  23. Aah no worries, I did wonder that I think the main thing will be ensuring the disc mounts are faced. Also forgot to mention make sure the pads are nice and flat (as it, not worn on a funny angle). Unfortunately though the Mini brake is pretty underpowered for trials so it won't ever be as good as a Mono Trial
