Pure trials moves are so much easier (gapping, wheel swaps, ups) The streety moves are getting there a week more and Ill have got the thing to its balance point easily.

Mr Motivator Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Black forks on it look real nice! If you get echos, then spray them black (Y) Id say keep the rim tape black. It makes the rims look 'not drilled' which is quite nice for a change. If I ever get a mod thats how id like mine to look (Y) Very nice Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I would prob get the echo teams and keep them silver just looks nice imo. but id like a little extra wheelbase which the rake on the echos should provide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Probably one of the best specced mods out there, r.b's, xtr booster, kings. :D Top job looks mint. (Y) And i know everyone said this about your old frame aswell, but some new forks really would finish it off. Seems like you've got top everything else. (Y) Mike.

Hobnobs Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I would prob get the echo teams and keep them silver just looks nice imo. but id like a little extra wheelbase which the rake on the echos should provide ← Very nice indeed, i really want an echo team myself. As for the forks, today me and my friend measured our wheelbases (we both have t-pro's, he has t-pro forks, i have echo teams) and my wheelbase was nearly 1cm shorter than his, so unless his forks are bent a lot forwards, i dont think they give much more length.

Michael Hardman Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 strange as mine are straight blade now and eechos are raked for more wheelbase. Its a marketting scam and weve caught them (Y) I paid £380 for frame bash plate and echo stem from tartybikes as i didnt need the echo booster or mounts. That was very nice of dave hense why I will keep buying from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Can thew t-mag forks actually handle the RB lever?! (Y) . Woulda thought theyd snap in half after pulling the brake once (Y) . Mint bike though, love it. I wouldnt mind an echo team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 yeh, but looking at your forks, compaired with echo teams, i really think the straight blades have pused the wheel out further, your forks, although straight, seem to go out at quite a shallow angle. get the teams anyeway, they are by far the nicest mods forks, light and just feel great.

Michael Hardman Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Not forgetting a bargin at £75 including p and p. The forks are fine theres some flex but my crapy mission forks lasted a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
