Echo Frame Size Difference

[PUnK KiD]

Hi, Im new here, i currently have a EchoEM2R but ive stripped the threads out of the rear brake mount, done everything i can to fix it including helicoiling but nothing worked.

So im loking for a new frame and fast. i havent been riding for long like about 2 weeks and i can get up stuff about 3 to 4 foot high with a bit of ease, would i nothince the difference in the two echo team frames.

My EM2R feels quite short, but not having any experience i dont really have a clue .

Im looking at the Echo Team Frames but which one to get, the long or short, im in engineering but i still dont know how much difference 30mm would make to the feel of the frame.

How do you think i would get on with a long Echo, im 5foot 8 and quite stocky, any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Tom

Hay mate you should go for the short my mate has one and it rides well nice you will find it harder to get up stuff but in the long run you will feel a lot better with the short frame. And when you learn to side hop you will be able to get a lot more hight on your attempt

Good luck mate, rickyb

Have a look and see if you can ride someone elses, doesn't necesarily have to be an Echo, but just see how the length feels. Remember you can change it a bit with bar/stem combo's.

Have as long a ride as possible, just hopping on the backwheel will do nothing. Try gaps, ups, sidehops, wheelswaps, hoo-ha's, whatever else.
