Maladie Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Lovely looking bike mate. Can i ask how it rides though, like does it feel more orientated towards the streety side of riding, or the natural side. And how is the freewheel, i'm getting an echo sl soon and i want to know if they work well new aswell as when they've been used a bit. And how does it sound new?

3dd Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Very nice. If I were you I would grind the heck out that rear wheel and get some decent pads and not the woman ones! You should come ride Gravesend sometime with us! Give me a shout sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is the freewheel, i'm getting an echo sl soon and i want to know if they work well new aswell as when they've been used a bit. And how does it sound new? Its definately a more comp/Natural frame, its really good on the back wheel. The freewheel is excellent, never skips, but it is really loud. does have some stiff spots but nothing major! Very nice. If I were you I would grind the heck out that rear wheel and get some decent pads and not the woman ones! You should come ride Gravesend sometime with us! Give me a shout sometime! My ploan is to grind the rear wheel, but not this one, the wheel on it is for sale. i had got some ok pads on there bt i think im gonna go for some TNN's. it definatly needs a booster though. I may come up there but im on days a lot in the next few weeks, and you said its all street which im not a big fan of lol. yeah thats what i ment , when i rode manus mine hit on the frame when i hopped. Thats quite worrying, that means there is some major flex somewhere! i might get my self a longer bb as i dont want to scratch my frame up!

Sam Styles Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thats quite worrying, that means there is some major flex somewhere! i might get my self a longer bb as i dont want to scratch my frame up! bb wont make any difference... cranks with a bigger offset will solve the problem. i had 26mm offset cranks once, and when i got a new frame, i couldnt turn the cranks cause they wouldnt go past the frame or brake. bought 36mm offset zoo cranks, problem solved, with room to spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a longer bb your chainline will be crap , but i took my sprocket of and put a spacer inbetween the hub itself and the sproket , my chain line was normal and it didnt cathc the frame either.

Andrew C Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 That is tasty Im planning on getting one of them myself in a few weeks but i would like to know how flexy the rear brake is without a booster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 That looks ace, even better in the flesh. And you ride it like a beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite flexy with out the booster im afraid, not sure if its because im running an sl lever which is suposed to be more powerful than the standard maggie one. That looks ace, even better in the flesh. And you ride it like a beast Thank you mate, dunno about riding it like a beast though lol. You boys rode big, good to spectate! It was a good day all in all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
