Bobo_Grimmer Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Wow! That thing looks brand new! Nice bike.Thank you It almost is! The guy had it built for his missis. She's more into her BMX's so didn't really ride it. The rear break need's a tweak and pos a grind on the rim but other than that it's spanking. Tell you what i've been tweaking the rear break and hopping about in the garden and i'm bloody nackerd! I can remember how to do stuff but man i'm un fit lol oh well can't wait for my first ride on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Brodie Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 that bike looks really smart! amazing condition!definitely get a grind whacked on there and you might need to invest in some new pads depending on what they are already.not a massive problem but i would spin your back tyre round too as its on the wrong way at the moment.As or forks you cant really go wrong i just wouldn't go near the Echo SL's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of going for the V!Z HS33 Pads. but open to ideas. for the forks get the echo team ones. mine are 5years old and are still fineHum Echo team fork's the'd go well. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo_Grimmer Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well i've turned the rear tyre around. and had another hop around in the garden today. (not going out till i get a helmet). I have a couple of annoying problems though.1- My pedals keep coming loose. 2- The grip's move. What could i do about these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
