Nope im really really sure he switched to disk a month or so ago... could be wrong though, just pm him and ask him I just bought some echo 6061 170 mm cranks like an hour ago, they are old pics though... heres some new ones On 8/28/2010 at 8:51 PM, trials owns said: abit of topic, what is your gold lever? is it a echo sl but looks different to the one on tarty as thinking about buying a longer lever. Nah man its an adamant, it was on special deal for a tenner on tarty then it was discontinued i guess, you can still buy them on select bikes though.

onzatrip Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Im sorry but my old bb7 was the best brake Ive had, and most people would agree, As for a hope ive only rode one mono trial that has held me. I will never use hope brakes they are nowhere near as good as bb7's just people think there amazing due to there hope and most comp riders use them.

Revolver Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I've seen a NEW bb7 perform with my own eyes, the whole calliper flexed. If you can get hold of an older one, that's the most epic one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it flexes away from the other side, but one side does stay still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny--Trials Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 If i were you, id keep the £160 and put it in a bank account so you get interest. Then if something does break, you have the money to put it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modifiedridah2k9 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've decided i shall buy a carbon downtube protector, as i fail gap ups alot And a BB7. And a new chainstay protector. And i dont know what else, probably fallout new vegas (pre-order) for the winter, and the new family guy season. Is the downtube protector any good?

dann2707 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 It protects and it's light. So yeah! Your bike looks awesome btw mate. Just seen that high res pic of it I wouldn't bother spending the £160 just because you have it. You'll regret it if you do, however tempting it seems when you have birthday money.
