scotty007 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi all well was just wondering if anybody knew if tartybikes did the echo cnc complete brake lever on its own without the slaves. Or if not does anybody know of a shop that does sell them thanks people and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty007 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Get a TR, much betterYer was looking at buying them levers but iv heard that they need regular bleeding so i was put off by this . Has anybody else heard of theses brakes need regular bleeding or was this just bad advice or judgement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 The main problem with them is if the levers still have swarf or gunk inside the cylinder, it shits the seals up and causes leaks. If, when you get a new lever, you strip it down and clean out the cylinder and make sure it's all tickety boo you should have no problems.

Just one thing they look as if there quite big and bulky for a brake or is the picture on tartys site exploded or zoomed . Just tryin to get a better picture of what they look like on the bike thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Which lever are you looking at in particular? None of them are particularly big - the SL looks like two twigs bound to your bars, and the TR looks broadly similar to an old RB lever or an old style HS33 lever (but nicer...).

Hearing the posts regarding these i might stick with them just cant be dealing with fresh bleeds every week . Guess il get on to tarty and see if they do the echo cnc on its own first. Anybody got the TR fitted and working with good reviews might sway me though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic84echo Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I use TR's. I've heard people say that they've needed regular bleeding as well, but I haven't had that problem with mine.Not to say that I would recommend them though. The lever looks lovely, and feels very nice in use, but there are little things that are very annoying. For example, I really dont like having to use gloves all the time, but the tpa (which yes, is very well positioned for not being damaged itself) is very well positioned, and sharp enough, to do plenty of damage to you instead. I can't think how many times I've cut myself on it. The cylinders aren't as adjustable as maggies either. Actually I think maggies are just better in general.

Ullapool Trials Rider Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Get the Echo SL lever. Its similar. If the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty007 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Similar to what?I have to say, everything you post is either complete bullshit, or completely useless.Some good replys there to get me thinking about the sl but at nearly 80 quid a pop (and i need two) might be out of range. Especialy when i have to explain to the missus why she cant go out news years, you know how it is fellas. I think its going to be the echo TR levers if tary dont th echo cnc that is, was thinking of the echo cnc only cause they look more compact and reliable and more PIMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
