Any chance of a set Pete? After all, you have used my gluing info and material! Would be good to see how you've improved the gluing from mine too, even with only 2mm of recess. Adam

I was seriously impressed with the overall quality of the DVD! I would say the filming is similar to Manifesto (its the same guy after all) and the content is really interesting for the more experienced rider. Theres not LOADS of riding in it, but the interviews are excellent and the riding shown is awesome too. Personally I would say the filming and editing is waayy above Trial Noir and at least on a par with GET (although I have only seen GET once). Desmond's a really cool guy and has been extremely helpful (he's even let us link to the trailer on his site, using his bandwidth!) so I second what Dave says Adam Edit: Just watched the extras... Benito is a monster and Adam Burns' drop...

Time to go home then Cheers Joe the Hoe!

I think Geothane's a brand name Ali. The Plaz pads are PU yes, other pads are made from Neoprene, not heard of Polybutemane personally. There's millions of different compounds though, its pretty much impossible to find the exact same one that Plaz use...

The picture shows the singlespeed version, however the text describes a mixture of this and the standard cross country version. Check before you buy

They will fit the Echo External BB, yes. I see what you mean yeah... although the axle size options could be labelled as a positive - gives you the option of a really tough axle or a lighter one. Either way, all the different threads are a little off-putting for some, would be nice to stick to a standard like square, but I don't reckon it'll happen.

Its a standard M15 crank bolt thread though, which I would have said was pretty logical!

Got a couple of new bits to fit and play with

Be careful, there are a few versions of the Pro2 hub and some are not suitable for trials!

I much prefer them to the older version, the sweep on those give me wrist pain. Really good so far, still getting used to it, but its really nimble and flicky, finding it more fun than 26" for now... The latest batches of Try-All rims don't have the sidewalls brushed since the Koxx bikes are soon to be available with rear disc mounts (as far as we have been told) - and obviously un-brushed sidewalls look a lot better! The bike was built around a pretty tight budget and I went for the best value parts I could find for myself - can't really fault the Lite forks (light, stiff, strong) and my wrists don't agree with the sweep/rise on Monty bars... therefore I needed a higher stem too. The Monty rear disc hubs are 36h only, and the Monty rims are 32h... also the front Monty rims are 28h and the Echo Disc hubs are only in 32h! I also prefer the rims to be a little wider. Freewheel's been great, I love the quick engagement and its not even clunked so far, very impressed! Cheers for the comments guys, *might* try some Monty bars at some point, but I would like a bit more width and I'm not sure how my wrists will cope Will try and shoot some video soon too! Adam

Well, I've been wanting to try a mod for a little while now... but it just HAD to be dual disc... Then a few of these little beauties arrived and I couldn't resist! The brakes and pedals were nicked from my Simtra (don't worry, that will go back together soon!) and there's a few other parts from Dave's GU on there too... Geometry is: 995mm wheelbase, +50mm BB rise and 362mm chainstays... first proper ride tonight Spec for anyone interested: - Monty 221 Pr 2007 Frame - Echo Lite 2007 Forks - Echo Team Stem - ZOO Bar, Black - Echo Front Disc Hub - Try-All Front Rim - Monty 221 Ti Rear Disc Hub - Try-All Rear Rim - Hope Mono Trial Brakes, 180mm front and 160mm rear - Echo CNC Cranks - Echo Internal Bottom Bracket, 2007 model - Try-All Freewheel (which feels awesome so far!) - Creepy Crawler Tyres - Onza Hognesium Pedals I think that's all! Cheers Adam

Sorry that you didn't get a reply to your email - when did you send it? I spent most of yesterday afternoon replying to all our unread (almost 100) emails... maybe it didn't get through to us? Anyway, as others have said, the bars will definitely fit but it may take a bit of wiggling to get the bends through, and you will probably have to open the clamp up a little. Hope that helps, Cheers Adam

Be with you tomorrow Dave :wink2: I spoke to the importers again this morning - to clarify, the 221 Ti is not in the UK yet, but should be in around two weeks. Adam

The 2007 221Ti bikes are not in the country yet, they should be here in approx 2 weeks.

*Is currently building the wheels for that beast* Tasty!

Theres a bolt THROUGH and a bolt UP version - the through axle is for DH biks etc, whereas us trials boys are best with the bolt up option

They're COMPLETELY different bikes! Full spec will be up when I have time, but the geo is 1075mm, +5mm BB, 72 degree head angle and made from 7005 alloy. Good gusseting too

'06/'07 then Same brake, they're unchanged since the latest model Edit: Pictures! Obviously available with 4-Bolt mounts too.

Until the '05 ones are out that is! Which we have on order and should be arriving soon...

It won't unfortunately, and there isn't one that exists... yet :wink2:

Top stuff Annihilator1, catch you again soon for some beasty rockage! Ads

68mm shell, and anything 122.5mm or longer should do the trick!

It is £70 cheaper though, and you do get better forks and cranks...

Its the same as the T-Pro except those upgrades. The T-Pro frame and fork has 4 bolt mounts (fork also has a disc mount) and comes with Onza 4-Bolt/V-Brake Adaptors as seen below:
