ilikeriding Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Could someone explain the benefits of the difference in bb rise, chainstay length ect...I enjoy gapping and front wheel moves, which would be best for the job?, bearing in mind im not the lightest of riders..PUREhttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10173ADAMANThttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2029Would the difference in metals, make one prone to cracks?

FoxRacer Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Lighter often means weakier, so I'd expect pure to crack faster than a1. It got better geo imo, A1 (long) should be more stable on back wheel though. Pure is made from weakier material (that's why it has 6 months warranty, not 1 year as rest of U6 deng's frames).BUT... Geometry is only personal preference raised by trends which gonna change anyway. Just take what you fancy more. Noone will actually help you.

Billy Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I just spotted the new Pure aswell. Will it be a lot weaker than the other deng frames? I really need a new frame and I'm pretty skint. I was looking at getting the new CZAR, it has exactly the same geo. But if I can get the same geo for £70 less, thats a new pair of forks paid for aswell.

AdamR28 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Pop down and have a chat Billy, I reckon you'll be sorted with the Pure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 i have a echo pure and i think there absoloutely brilliant , i have had no problems what so ever . The pure can take huge rims as my magura bearly reached my echo rim when i had it on . im now using a v brake on it and i dont fear the frame snapping like people say .i think people have the wrong idea about pures there beautiful frames with strong dropouts and i love mine its nimble and strong wich means i can throw it about and still ride natural . The only thing wich caused concern was the tyre clearance i only had about 5 mill each side with a 2.5 maxxis minion dual ply . if u would like any pics just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoust Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) i have had both the pure and the adamant and i would say go for the echo. it is lighter and rides like a dream on natural and street. the adamant is a bit too heavy for my liking. and about weakness youll not break the echo only 1 06 was broken and the 07 is stronger than that.echo pure = top piece of kit steve Edited July 9, 2007 by stevecoust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be stronger meaning perhaps the threads would last longer and also I didnt want to go too disimalar to the feel of my old pitbull.thanks for the comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
