Bigman Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 After selling my Echo trial 24 back at the end of summer I decided to get another bike, and after seeing a real bargin in the forsale section I thought I would give it a try, so this is the streetiest bike I have had in probably 8-9 years!! It is going to take alot of getting used to and I am suffering from my first ride out on it yesterday, aching like hell right now! Spec: Inspired Hex Frame Tryall forks BBB 110mm x 35deg stem Trialtech High Rise bars Rear 05 Magura with TNN LGM pads Front Hope Mono Trial 190mm Rear CK Singlespeed on Echo TR rim with Holyroller tyre Front Trialtech disc hub on Mavic rim with mostly slick try-all tyre Trialtech cranks, unsure what bash and sprocket. Inspired Pivotal Saddle and Post Welgo MG1 pedals. My Current Bike Stable: Adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob did say he was swapping with you, I wouldn't be worried too much, I expect I will ride this mostly TGS style, it is just a much more chilled out style of bike to ride, I don't feel the need to push for higher and higher stuff now, I just want to have fun!! I am still aching like a bitch after riding on monday!! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like cunning stunts Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Went out on it last night and loved it, only thing the king on the rear isnt giving me much confidence might switch to a ffw set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Give the king a chance, I ran kings for years and never had issues, I then went to a FFW for 2-3 years but am now back on a king, it feels strange, but I doubt I will change it!

p_ruskin Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Presume you are at home for Christmas mate? I've got 3 weeks off so send me a message when you are back and we will sort out a ride! Bike looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Went out on it last night and loved it, only thing the king on the rear isnt giving me much confidence might switch to a ffw set up. Give the King a chance! My mate have owned his for 8 (yes 8 years of trials abuse) and I love it every time I try his bike. He says it's the best hub/freewheel mechanism ever! Trust me you'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
