Akira_Shock! Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 There's no need to worry, it will fit, remember the Echo booster has oval holes so you can move the booster left and right along the bolts when attaching to the frame.. so it is certain to fit. A few tips when fitting:1. Grease each bolt with copper grease preferably, this like all other greases, break down after time, but copper grease forms a slight paste and so is boosting chances of not mangling your frame's mounts.2. Screw in the bolts with your fingers lightly to start off with, once they're definitely in straight you can start screwing them in with an allen key. Quite a few silly billys have stripped their frame threads because of this... 3. Don't be too ham-fisted when screwing in, the bolts don't need to be super tight! tighten the bolts with an allen key when the tool is vertical rather than horizontal so you don't screw it in too hard, which causes thread strip and seizing.Same sorta principle counts for installing the Bottom Bracket into a frame too..Joe.

Akira_Shock! Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 About tyre clearance, it should fit. Don't make the chain too short, as this brings the wheel in closer to the BB of the frame, and therefore could rub. Just have the chain long enough so the axle is somewhere in the middle of the dropouts. A buckled wheel/unstraight wheel won't help tyre clearance issues, but it almost certainly will fit fine.

poopipe Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 if that's the black'n'silver CNC one that costs £20 you'll be fine for tyre clearance - ive got one on my t-poo with a 2.5 creepy crawler, there's not a lot of space but there's enough.
