Jake. Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Rockman pictures are all the way at the bottom. I got the Echo Lite 2011 today, was an 8 hour train journey there and back with a 4 hour ride in-between. I went with a friend who rode an Echo trial 2011, made for a pretty awesome trip. Fat-Albert punctures too easy... One puncture a ride so far. Mid-Ride lunch Train home Last Station This scared the crap out me, I was gapping with the chain like this In my bedroom at last, two happy peas in a pod (three if you count me ). Hey guys, I saw this for sale and couldn't resist. Always wanted a dual-disc mod, but the cheap ones put me off, so I splashed a lil' cash and I'm very happy with the result.

Jake. Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Lush as fook! need to update your sig and sell me those bars though Thanks dude! Haha yeah, I'll do that sometime when I can be bothered to go through all the settings. I don't think I'll be selling/changing anything on this I'm afraid, however I may change the cranks some rockman lite's and put a bashring on. Not sure how silver cranks will look with the whole orange/black build though. Edited October 17, 2012 by JMCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 So you bought it then, sweeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Really like it! Looks good and has a strong spec too. How are you finding rear disc compared to maggy? And don't put silver cranks on, wouldn't look good with the orange and black IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to even have modulation, but I'll post in this thread what I think when I use it properly. Yeah that's what I thought, shame really, I don't want to screw up the colour scheme but at the same time I want to put a bashring on. Adam@Tarty says not to use bashrings on 160&165mm cranks, yet I have been doing so for nearly half a year with no issues. I always have problems setting up a half bash with my left-forward riding, it moves as soon as I turn the cranks. May just get a full black bashring to save the hassle.

Trialtech 160s and 165s are fine with a bashring, it's the rockman/try all cranks (160s and 165s) that can't fit them due to them having less threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it applied to all 160/165 cranks, weird. Thanks mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i like cunning stunts Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Was sooo close to buying this then last minute went for a double maggy build instead, good to see it actually got here safe and sound, the build is just about spot on only thing I would of done is put a set of tryall tyres on it.

Jake. Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks for all your kind comments and tips guys I've rolled the bars forward a bit, swapped the levers over from 'euro' style (right hand was rear brake) to 'UK' style.
