Luke Dunstan Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Was thinking of getting the Because Trials frame, Currently riding a 1085 Marino, what would be the pros and cons of going for a shorter frame? Any input would be good, and if you own one let us know how it rides. Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Pros: Opens up some new moves like bunnyhops Easier to do static hooks More fun Better on two wheels Cons: Harder to tap large up to fronts are a tad trickier slightly worse on the rear wheel (though this is very dependant on the rest of the geo and what components you are running) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I went from a BT raven 8.0 to the because. Found it abit cramped at first but now loving it. Highly recomend this frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Literally just unpacked a 24" Echo frame from our new Deng delivery - they look really, really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yeah, I emailed you guys earlier, Adam said they'd be on the web in the next couple of days. Definitely going for the Echo. Cheers for the help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Literally just unpacked a 24" Echo frame from our new Deng delivery - they look really, really nice It says that the Echo frame has an integrated tensioner, so just to make absolute certain, I won't need cams? Silly question, but I don't want my frame coming through and then figure out I can't use it. And what time you reckon they'll be put on the site?

JT! Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 The integrated tensioners are just screws in the dropouts so you don't need cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) The integrated tensioners are just screws in the dropouts so you don't need cams. Awesome, cheers mate.

i like cunning stunts Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I know this is probably a bit random, but check this. 24" frame with stoopid name Wow really like the look of that, how did you come across it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Spotted that the other day when someone popped a link up in another thread - I'm still not sure whether 1040 is long enough for the +70 BB or not, though people seem to get on well with the Because trials 24" frames well enough. The 1060 option sounds like it could be a really sweet option though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
