I have moved from 175mm to 158mm then back to 175mm. At first, yes, it feels different, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. Personally, I prefer the longer 175mm cranks. Ive had the X-lite cranks... they're good... but I snapped 2 arms. The first because Im a fat b*****d and the second because I filed a notch out the back of one to clear my frame with a short bottom bracket. They seem fine for the majority of people. Good luck!

SALLY TWINKS!!!! Go there Joe, smells like piss though.

Dan-le-wadding naaaaa mate. EDIT- Haha, funny crash. Good vid, liked it. Especially loved Danny... "yalrite joe... yalrite joe..... yalrite joe.... yalrite joe" :-

Put the sprocket in the vice, nice n tight with 2 teeth making contact with the vice on each side. Get a peice of bar... box section is best, slide it down the full lenght of your crank and gently (and i mean gently or ull end up the other side of the garage bleeding and swearing!) push the bar anti clockwise (crank should be facing upwards) keep applying more and more force until it unscrews. Never failed on me and never screwed up a sprocket or freewheel.

Monty ones will not work. They are the same design/principle but they are smaller. The Echo ones will work.

The best way to compare them in my opinion is to simply... Use the search... There much of been 100 topics on each... :ermm:

Use a fine file to gently take the sharp edges off the stem where the bars go in... Be careful... I had the same problem and this resolved it. Bitta grease as well.. Makes them less prone to snapping so soon....

Just nip it up tight mate, dont go too mad. Just check it every so often... I.E when you get a puncture or when your cleaning and fetteling.

That makes absolutely no sence to me mate. Unless you have a steel frame, then these won't work for you.... What frame do you have?

Go steady though, burn em too much and they fall apart.

Totally agree... Once you can do it on one bike, it doesn't take long to do it on any other bike.

Dissapointed to be honest. All very inovative though... Be good to see what happens if they release some of them though..

Pull the driver off, use a clean rag and some degreaser to clean everything out then use some light lube on the rachets and a few blobs on the pawls and springs... I do this every 2-3 months to keep check everythings ok. Hope this helps.

Or you could fill the freewheel in with some good ol' tig weld....

Yeah, Now I think about it 375m seems to be better. Not sure on the top tube now though... Maybe 570mm (22.5 inch) ? BB rise... what do you think? Cheers

Playing with idea's... Does everyone think to these numbers? Comment if you know what your talking bout only, thanks. Mod frame by the way. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....cmd=si&img=5588 Sorry about the crap quality... had to save it as .jpeg ;) Cheers, Jack

I thought advertising other forums on here wasn't aloud? Or is it me?

2 Monty x-lite frames Monty x-lite forks 7-8 maggie levers, Ive lost count Monty riser stem 2 bottom brackets Several onza vp pedals (crap casting!) Monty x lite guard 2 monty x lite crank arms Koxx 47mm rim, cracked Ripped a few pads apart. Not too bad!

I know I am going to ger bummed for doing this but.. Could someone kindly give me the link to Bongo's backflip on his Monty, because for some facking reason I cant find it anywhere and reeeeally want to see it. If someone would do so, I will reply with a thankyou, then this can be deleted. Sorry, and Thankyou!

I agree with what Ali said there. My Monty riseres are 27" I think... Wouldn't mind an extra inch (Y) Wouldn't we all!!

Well this has got to be the sillyest and stupiest and childish topic ever.
