cai Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Echo Sl's (or TR's if your on a budget) front and back. Unless you want a freehub on the rear in which case the Hope Pro II is what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want a freehub on the rear in which case the Hope Pro II is what you want Thanks fella Im not really on a budget, but dont want to chuck money away! That said im not the lightest chap in the world at 13.4 stone so strength has to be a factor. Cheers Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I wouldn't worry about that matey, I vary between 13 ½ and 14 ½ stone and I use an echo TR on my stock. Definately a hope on the front though if there's no probs with the budget, plus when you generally buy a hope hub you never have to buy one again as their guarantees are unbelievable! And if your just getting into cycle trials (even coming from moto) I'd advise something that will take a few bashes in terms of rims, maybe an echo urban rear as I've heard they're quite strong.

I'd personally take the Zoo, Rockman frames are made of cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson on here had a rockman maladie and it cracked within days, literally Stan and Ali are both really awesome riders and really really smooth, so really lightweight frames work for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can think of another frame? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
