Captain Scarlet Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I've wanted to rid myself of the tank of a frame that was my Echo Lite, I got on with it sometimes and not at all at other times.It felt too long, I could never get chain tension, I wanted to run rear disc, so I've killed all those birds with this lovely stone.Big thanks to Joe at Onza for getting it out so quick.I just need to re-route the hose, and then tempted to regrind the rim, or whack a disc on the rear.

JonMack Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Go rear disc, take the bashplate off, and that will be lots nicer!(And get rid of all the Echo parts ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Go rear disc, take the bashplate off, and that will be lots nicer!(And get rid of all the Echo parts )Bashplate is staying, I'll wreck the frame without it.I'll order a disc the second my Magura plays me up (its very close to it).And the Echo parts are slowly being replenished with alternative makes (note the Trial Tech stem) =D.I've only had a little ride and it definately feels less tank-like than my Echo, more springier to gap, and easier to switch the rear.All my parts fitted perfectly (When I got my Echo Lite frame that was somehow a bitch with all Echo components ).

Captain Scarlet Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Cheers for the comments guys.Jumped on the train and had a little ride in Chelmsford on it (video up soon), just feels a lot nippier and better than my Echo at pretty much everything.I don't know if its the shorter chain stays, or the length, but just seems a lot easier to get onto the back wheel (for pidgeons, wheel swaps, or just lifting up the front as though to do a manual).I haven't tried bunny hopping it yet, but I'm sure as hell it will easily be learnable on this.I'm not a massive rider but this has made the stuff that I can do, a lot easier.My magura was screwing me over a bit on the ride, so I think its an excuse to try out the beefy disc mount.Give it a month or so it'll probably be so.=D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
