mairomaster Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I am going to buy an echo lite mod and I have 2 questions:1. Could I use my old 170mm echo cranks? I know that it's better to use 160mm cranks on a mod, but right now I haven't enough money to buy them. I will use 18/12.2. Could I put my echo control 4 bolts booster to the lite? I can buy echo team booster but I think echo control is better because it holds the frame on 4 points and the team hold it only on 2.Sorry for my bad english. 10x for replayes.

Dave Anscombe Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 170 are fine on mod....as are 160( what i use) so dont worry about that. smaller cranks just make it slightly harder to peddal ..hardly noticeable reallyand the control booster will be finedave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mairomaster Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I am worried about the booster because of this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=12 "Not recommended for mod/20" wheel bikes, since the booster is not tall enough to clear your tyre in most cases. The Echo Team booster is designed for this purpose." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 stand corrected thanks for that dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 With your English you'll be validated in no time. Your English is better than most British new members any day. When your validated, post in the classified area asking for a Deng booster. Any Deng booster will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I actually prefer 170mm cranks than 160. Yeah the booster probably won't fit, however, hasn't the echo lite got an in built booster anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need changing to 160mm.Good choice of bike! All the pro's ride them, is it an 06? They were the best.Here's mine: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....=106880&hl=All the pics are all over the first page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mairomaster Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 No it's 07 But why do you think it's worse than 06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Kearns Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 The cranks will be perfectly fine. I've ran 160mm, 165mm, 170mm and 175mm on my mod. They were all fine. I preferred 170mm out of them all.The booster WILL NOT fit. My control one didn't . Waste of money that was back then.Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 The cranks will be fine but its luck if the booster will fit, as it fits some frame and tyre combinations but not others and the tyre rubs. i believe you can get a echo team in 4 bolt if not just get a different one theres plenty of 4bolt boosters around.

mairomaster Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I can get only some of Deng boosters because I am from Bulgaria and the trial shop here offers only deng parts... Does Echo team 4 bolt booster exists? I thought there are only 2 bolt team. Is there someone here who sometimes have tried to put echo control booster to echo lite frame with echo tyre?
