Muel Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Hey, I've changed a lot of stuff recently on my Kot and given it a really good clean, so I thought I'd take some snaps and get them up!Frame: Kot MS2 LongForks: Echo ControlsFront Wheel: Viz Hub on an Atomz RimRear Wheel: TartyBikes Pro 2 Hub on an Atomz RimFront Tyre: Try-All.Rear Tyre: Continental Rubber Queen.Cranks: Middleburn RS7 Super Pro.Front Brake: 07 Hope Mono TrialRear Brake: 08 Maggy.Handle Bar: TrialTechStem: TMSPedals: TrialTech MagsHeadset: FSATensioner: Surley/4 Jeri. Not certain.I've just bought the maggy in bits, I got two M8/M6 slaves with a Monty splitter, so each line has a shroud and an olive so I can't kick it off. I've done a few other little mods aswell.If you're wondering about the copper washer on the bleed bolts, thats because they leaked when i first did them up, I didn't find out why, I just stuck the washers in which have appeared to seal them after todays ride, but I'll be keeping a close eye on it.It'l have the new PhatPads when they arrive, I've heard amazing things!Mini Update - 8th FebI was getting some pictures of my Echo today because I'm selling it, and this was really clean after riding in the snow yesterday so I got some pics of this aswell. The only changes are it now has a Hope front rotor which I find gives a bit more bite and hold than the Gusset and it's got CNC PhatPads in, which so far I'm pretty impressed with! The wear rates really good, they took ages to wear into the camber of the rim. I also changed the Carbon lever blade to an original Mini lever blade as I much prefer them, they're squarer and quite a lot stiffer.

Muel Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) The rims appear to make it into a chav magnet after todays ride haha.I'm loving the maggy, it suits this bike so much better than the disc. I still love discs on mods, and I think if the frame and wheel were stiffer it would have worked a lot better, I've just fancied one for a while!For anyone wondering I weighed it today, 9.9kg.It wasn't that hard to bleed when I got into it, it's still trickier than a normal one but it makes the hose routing so much neater. The hardest bit was building the hose up with it in. Edited January 17, 2009 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very lush hose splitter neatly tucked away I'm really pleased with how it's come out, i got the hoses cut to the right legnth first time.Fit as Muel. What’s your address and do you keep it in the shed or your house.and what time are you normally out of the house.Thanks BruceHey Bruce, I'll take a pic of my ground anchor/oxford lock combo tommorrow maybe? the lock is so big it's an effort to get through my Echos frame, so feel free to come and have a go. Looks so nice mate, them Monty splitter hose things are the best!I didn't think it would make much of a difference besides tidying up the hose routing, but I'm sure it makes it more responsive.

Muel Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 That's probably because it is. TrialTech bars, TMS 130x30 stem (I think) + 25mm of stackage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanners Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 hey, nice bikeI was just wondering how have you mounted your tensioner. Is it just a simple bolt straight through into the hub?? If so did you just use the bolt that came with the hub?? Looks good.CheersRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Hey,The bolts are TI ones, and yes the right hand one goes straight through the tensioner. I'm not entirely certain what the tensioner is, I think it's a 4-Jeri though.They are M10 and the tensioner has a 10mm hole straight through it, as to how to remove the original bolt or where to get one of the tensioners, I don't actually know, it was on the bike when I bought it from Tarty Adam.EDIT: Any more comments? Good or bad I'd like to hear them so I can get ideas. I'm thinking black forks if these die on me. Edited January 19, 2009 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
