Chris had some longer, higher stems sent to him by mistake and I got one. I'm probably gonna paint the fork white. I've always had white forks. I'm gonna switch to a Hope Trials brake one day and put the Magura disks on another bike.Other than that I gotta figure out some brake clearance issues. I was planning on using the Echo front rim on the back when I still used a small 2.2 rear tire. Now that I'm using this giant tire I don't know how long that will last. The good part is I have decent crank arm clearance, but as the pad wears its gonna be tough to get the brakes pushed in far enough. On the flip side with the wide rim and new pads the cranks rub the brakes under pressure. So I'm looking at my options with that for now.

Echo-Scott Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 That looks really nice. Perfect balance between white and red, I want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swervin Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 very nice bike. I'm having the same issues with clearance for the rims. I am ordering 2 Echo Urban Fronts and should have them by Tue. I really hope they fit without issue but I guess I will know in a few days.I may be forced to using a 2.25 tire on the rims. ill let you know if I figure out anything in regards to the clearance issues on my end but in the mean time I guess you can just sit and drool all over that sick bike.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettM Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 tensile 4 bolt mounts?I hoped so, but they won't work. Even though you could flip them around to help push your brake in farther in theory the brakes are tall enough they will hit where the bolt goes through the mounts and into the frame. There is just no way around that no matter what your mount looked like. I could file the mounts down some and come up with an extra few mm's. Maybe use the tpa to push the pads in as well. I'll probably just switch back to the wider rim though. I only really wanted to use the narrower rim when I had the narrower tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
