Haha, I've got a mate who I ride with a lot. I reckon he'd be up for it, just give us a time and date. We're doing a lewes ride next Thursday 4pm til we're tired About those echo brakes... They're really really bad, I've never tried a pair that had hold or bite to my liking. And those tyres have bad bounce, but if you like it I'm not stopping you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 No they're not Jake! I've played on a blade with one up front and it was incredible. Just got to spend time setting them up and bed them in right it seems, until they start leaking but that's here nor there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.tattoo Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 haha these bite and hold nice, apart from a weepy front caliper but to be expected on a brand new bike after five min ride hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 The brakes are good when set up well and bedded in, BUT they leak, but that will take a while:) The tyres have no bounce but they last forever haha. But anyhow sick bike man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd watch the caliper and the lever where the bleed bolt is if I were you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
