Matt Vandart Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 My current chain is whack.It's snapped a few times, mostly from just coming apart. Recently, I painted the floor pink with my elbow, when it snapped in a gap. I've got a picture of it, if you want to see Yes pictures of gore.

Ben John-Hynes Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) CNC backings. However I trim/cut the pads, they NEVER seem to fit and ALWAYS come out of the backing.Maxxis flyweight tyre tube, had numerous punctures, which I then found out are IMPOSSIBLE to repair on that tube. Waste of a fiver if you ask me!EDIT: I R SPAZ Edited March 30, 2009 by Ben John-Hynes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 ENO freewheel, it cost a fortune and never worked wellRB brake lever, it cost a fortune and started leaking after a few ridesEcho brake, it cost a lot and started leaking after a few ridesWhite stripe Echo tyres, they looked cool but had less grip than it's humanly possible to imagineThere must have been loads more, these are the biggest let downs though.

nek0 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Really, ENO fw is a golden fw IMO. Never had any issue.Echo brake has and always a leaky little son of a gun.Echo disc hubs...soft aluminum, disc bolts always stripped, ended up with longer bolts on most of them. What a garbage.

Adrian Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Really, ENO fw is a golden fw IMO. Never had any issue.your not as heavy as us then, i had to replace everything in my eno and it still f**ked up zoo python 2007 long... you pull the wheel back with snail cams so that the chains not slack and then you cant set your brake up as the mounts are too high... what a sh*t design! im curently having to runa tensioner on mod or i could have a super slack chain and good brakenice and tight chain and no/sh*t brakeand if you take a link out the chains way too short! or change my gear ratio to something stupid and hope it works!cant believe how stupidly thick you must be to bring out a frame with such a major design fault!try-all rims, never had one last more then a month, mod or stock. no matter how amazing the build is or w/eany tensioner out atm sucks, fact. (74 kings got close appart from the p*ssy springs which snap, and it moves so easily as where the bolt goes through it its really smoot! dumb!)deng headsets! cheap crap material, they jus snap or become lose or bearings go all crap (mine have all been crushed and dont exist anymore )heatsink cnc backings = broken piston pinspro2 bolts = round if you dare take your wheel out more then twice or tighten it properlyhope mono trial (the new one)... was spongy, and pretty poor anyway, and then the lever snapped after like 2 months if that. and the tpa adjuster thing cracked when i tried to turn it using the allen key to get the rest of the broken lever off... i gave up on it, now in a box somewhere. (piece of sh*t)echo urban forks.. last like a month if that.echo forged cranks, the threads for the sprocket stripped after a few months (just by pedal kicking, the same sprocket was on since new from tarty)try-all or w/e they were magnesium pedals, pins get ripped out too easily, and then the whole body ripped off the the axel when i failed a sidehop (pile of w*nk)try-all rage bars, mirror finish... the mirror finshed jus fell off (talk about crap quality)kmc chains = snap, quickly. wasted a few bob on thesewelgo v8 pedals, all the pins came out so fast it wasnt funny, was rather gashed off lolhonestly i could go on forever... i need sleep now though x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 DMR loc'd grips, amazingly grippy but the lockring strips so easily, only ever bolt i've cross threaded ever.Halo spin doctors with horizontal dropouts, was a bad move from me to be honest but no number of tentioners held the damn things...Snail cams. in general. got wheel nice and tight one side slips have to start over again. get one dent in the cams they no longer go past that point. ARGH!!!Theres more but it can wait till i'm alive again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm with you on the Brisa. When they first came out, I wanted one badly for about two years. Then I actually rode one and it was pretty shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 To be fair though, you probably destroy more parts than anyone else in the trials world. How do you go through try-All rims that quick? Mine have all been mega strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 KMC black and silver chains. Last one i bought snapped 4 times in 30 minutes of riding (not counting fixing time between) and got thrown away. Tensile bubblegum brake pads. Also lasted about 30 minutes.

JT's obviously had a bad experience with it, and as such found it to be shite, everyone has a different opinion...Well its not the brakes fault hes had a bad experience its normally the riders fault 99% of the time due to not maintaining it properly or not setting it up properlyand as you said everyone has a different opinion and mine is that they are the nuts and i rekon that a lot of other peoples opinions are as well....Also btw i didnt mean for that question at the end to be soo patronising (davey) i meant for it to be asking his what his problem is with BB7s, probably a bit vague with the questionOh and half link chain. Just awful.I agree Edited April 9, 2009 by jim-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
