Mark W Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Update 14/3/11: New video of Stan (with carbon tube in place!): ********************************************* Just a quick little video to show off Stan's shiny new Echo Pure 2011, as well as a couple of clips from Birchwood. Getting used to a very different frame is pretty hard, so riding wet, slippery rocks in the rain isn't really ideal. Stan dominated though, although my filming skills on my new camera didn't Threw the clips in Premiere, no real editing, just watch it already... Spec: Frame: Echo Pure 2011 Forks: Trialtech Sport Disc Only Headset: Echo SL Stem: Try-All NUC Forged Bars: Try-All Carbon Grips: Trialtech Foam BB: Echo Ti Cranks: Trialtech Sport 175mm Pedals: Trialtech MG-1/Ti Bashring: Trialtech Ti Halfring Freewheel: Echo SL 108 Chain: Trialtech Lite/Z610HX Rear sprocket: Trialtech Sport 15t Hubs: Trialtech samples Rims: Trialtech SL front and rear Rear brake: Echo SL Lever body with Magura 4-finger lever, custom splitter, Magura slaves, water+antifreeze bleed Front brake: Magura Marta SL Tyres - Front: Continental proto. Rear: Continental Der Kaiser Tubes - Front: Maxxis Ultralight. Rear: Maxxis Welterweight Think that's about everything, although I just rattled that off the top of my head so may be totally wrong.

Stan Shaw Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Nice one Mark. Frame is awesome, as is the spec. I'm very happy with this bike. I've not rode much "normal trials" recently, but this bike has got me going again. Starting to get used to it now and will try and sort a proper video out.

max-t Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sup, standard stuff for Stan. Just wondering about this frame and its stiffness. Does it flex much without a booster and how is the overall stiffness compared to other frames Stan has used. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Smoooooth. No HD? Don't see any real reason to 'edit' a video like that, especially with a decent tune like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Primarily because I wanted to go out riding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it flex much without a booster and how is the overall stiffness compared to other frames Stan has used. Thanks guys. Frame is suprisingley stiff. The tubing is thicker than my last two frames (Sky/Hydroxx2) so that helps, but the brake feels just as stiff too. The design of the Echo is very neat and simple and the rear end is compact so there isn't a lot of room for any give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-t Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 So the frame doesn't require 18:15 with a half link like the zoo! or am I mistaken? Can 18:16 be used if thats your preferance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've noticed Stan's riding is more rolly/flowy now. We had a ride in Blackburn the other night and we were talking about this exact same thing - riding brakeless helps out your normal riding loads. There was a rock I was struggling to get up because I kept trying to use my brakes for it, then I forced myself to try it brakeless and it went first go. But yeah, how you approach objects, how you go over/round/down them and the way you ride in general changes quite a lot. In a good way, obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Pretty much everyone would benefit from it. Good training for comps, nobody mention it to Benito Ros though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Tea Why Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Riding was mental. Nice job on that Stan. What camera did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
