But yes I brought this 'cosI've wanted one for ages and the tibo rode nice, but this is a dream :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Nummy nums, just wondering, did you have to do any kind of pad bodge with the 521 or did it all work nicely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Yes it has a god awful pad bodge on the koxx bloxx. I am gonna get a wider rim very soon, but am still deciding between an Echo or a Ronnie.... Also I have to send my hub off as part of my flange fell apart, so it won't be being built until thats all sorted.

Luke Drewery Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Very smart, the controls are gorgeous. You can tell that the bashring hasnt been used! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I just noticed, those strange stickers before the main ECHO sticker, they are not on anyone else's, and arn't on the Echo on tartybikes or echobike.com..... Chris, did you put them on, cos they are just as hard to get off as the main one's are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisatactiv05 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 mate, dont take those stickers off, they matched so good and took me ages to find at work, there the like surfing and skate boarding brand, NIXON stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
