How about a double wall Echo front rim? Fair few ERDs listed here: http://tartybikes.co.uk/image.php?image=spokes.gif Edit: Altho I have a feeling thats where you got yours from, hehe.

There seems to be a bit of confusion here... The first part (numbers) is the bearing size - The second part is the sealing. 6802-RS = 6802 sized bearing with Rubber Seal. (standard Profile driver bearing) 6802-2RS = 6802 sized bearing with Double Rubber Seals.

Available in 1066 and 1099 wheelbase, black and silver.

ID don't sell to the public unfortunately, and they are out of stock. They should be getting some in relatively soon though - we ordered some! Edit: Ah yeah, estimated arrival 30th August.

They do stretch, like any skewers. However, titanium is more ductile (stretchy) than steel, so Ti skewers don't clamp your wheels into your frame/forks as tightly. When subjected to loads, they just stretch a little, allowing your wheel to slip/move.

I think the reason Phil might be a little upset, is that the official retailers work hard to maintain a level of service, knowledge, and professionalism that will do the Echo, ZOO and GU brands proud. There are only 3 official Echo/ZOO/GU importers for the UK. One is BikeDock, one is X-Street, and the other is very obvious. It is permitted for other retailers to sell Echo/ZOO/GU if they buy off one of the official importers, after gaining permission to do so. An example of such a retailer is Triton Cycles, or Tarty Bikes. Hopefully that makes the situation a little clearer. Phil, Gary... feel free to correct anything, but that's what I have been led to believe :( Adam

Haha, oh I see now, my bad! Stanley knife is how I used to do it... Fresh blade, bit of water for lubrication, and WATCH YOUR FINGERS!

The ones shown in that link? Stick with your Plazzies, for now...

Erm, thats the clip, you'll be needing that! Clues on how to do it are here: http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/?p=hs33

+20mm should work :( 6mm plate won't work - you need the offset.

Sounds long for an ES2!

:(

Which video?

But it will be soon :)

They're also TINY - avoid!

They should do the trick. Just squeeze (Y)

Pair of needle-nosed pliers. Pic in a sec...

Indeed, and Koxx, plus others. Theres a theory, as Steve hinted, that thicker pads may wear MORE quickly than thinner ones, due to the 'float' while using an HS33 brake. This allows them to wear at an angle, which is bad for wear life. It may be, therefore, that the other 'expensive' pads are thin for such reason, rather than the company being stingy! We shall see (Y)

Got one on the way to me Mink, catch you on MSN (Y)

Going to find myself a nice fresh chunk of tar now to give these pads a good testing! (Y)

Haha, Joe you muppet :o Speak to Austin :lol:

Can he make custom 160mm long BBs as well? :lol:

1.37" x 24 tpi As wide as the threads on the freewheel.

The reds work great, its the wear life that was discovered to be a problem on HS33 brakes. Should be a couple more pairs of pads with me tomorrow for testing... with more following shortly.

I'll wait for finished pictures to appear before passing judgement!
