Maladie Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hey there, This is my first ever trials bike, as you can tell because there are only a couple of new things on it I was just wondering, what do you guys think needs upgrading on it?I was thinking of maybe getting some ZOO! bars, Echo Lite forks, wheel to match the rear one.And I don't know what else?James.

Duncy H Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Looking good at the moment, if I were you I would invest in a nice set of vee pads, and like you say change the stem, bars and forks as these onza bits aren't so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Bar, stem and rear brake maintenance if it's not too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Morton Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Rear Maggie , Then if you're frame start's to flex a brake booster.StemBar'sCrank + freewheel So you can go FFW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladie Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Okay guys, cheers for the help I think I will save up for a stem, bars and forks and front wheel possibly.I've been told not to get a hydraulic rear brake, that my one is fine atm,just that maybe I should get some Avid brake arms. And Jack, I'm not going to go FFW because I already bought a freehub for it as you can see in the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam 94 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah a new front wheel to match the rear, bars and stem and maybe some echo lite forks or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladie Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Didn't we recommend you to buy those things in the last topic you posted about what to buy instead of that silly echo freehub...Yes you did.And I only really want the Echo bars because I think they were the only ones on tarty which came in the pinky/red colour i wanted.

Maladie Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Keep a eye on the cranks, they like to round there self off quiet quickly!Ah yes, that was another thing, Should I upgrade cranks, get an 18t sprocket and 12t freewheel?

weirdoku Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ah yes, that was another thing, Should I upgrade cranks, get an 18t sprocket and 12t freewheel?oh my god, was that not what many of us told you before?! It's 18t freewheel and 12t sprocket by the way.Since you got that freehub, there's no point changing again so soon. So sometime in the future when your freehub dies. Just get the riser bar, stem, fork and grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yes you did.And I only really want the Echo bars because I think they were the only ones on tarty which came in the pinky/red colour i wanted.They suck though, get some high rise bars. Like Monty's or Tryall's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladie Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 They suck though, get some high rise bars. Like Monty's or Tryall's.Well they shouldn't suck for £40? And I would get high rise bars, i'm just concerned they would be hard to get use to from flat bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would get high rise bars, i'm just concerned they would be hard to get use to from flat bars?No, I went straight from flat bars to high rise and they are fine. In the end you'll like it more. I defo wouldn't spend 40 pounds on Echo bars of any type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
