tom 20 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi there everybody, I'm just wondering if anyone of you out there know where you can purchase the try-all hope disk brakes.I am aware they are just a modded version of the mono trial but i think they look sweet.Any help appreciatedQuestion no2: i have recently built up an echo team. I have echo forged cranks, tensile ffw, echo bash and the echo Isis BB.I have been out on a few rides and all i experienced was the crank bolt coming loose which to be honest is what i was expectingbut now there is sort of a clunking noise (not a creaking noise) when I'm peddling along . Its weird because everything is tight and the general set-up has no play in it.A mate told me it could just be the bearings wearing in as the bikes only a week or so old. Any light shed on this problem would be very much appreciated. Thanks tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben.richardson Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 It could be the freewheel.How old is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mairomaster Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I hear the same noise and I think it's from my cranks/BB (1 week olds - Try-all BB, Echo forged cranks, Try-all FW) but I don't know what is it. I am sure it's not from the FW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 i wouldn't get a hope disk the red would clash with the blue etc. you want me to bring you some loctite on saturday so you can keep your bolts tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 ive been having the same clunking noise, but i did buy a cheap ACS welded freewheel and its still ridnning now But hopfully when i get a eno or the new tensile or even the tryall freewheel it will stop the clunking!

powerz Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Well i have the same sort of problem with my echo isis bb, (the one for £45 on tarty)it will run fine then the cup tightens itself so my bb starts creeking, and sometimes loosens itself then it feels bent and lumpy.so now ive just niped the cup up on the bb not over tight and put some locktite on it so hopefuly it shouldn't tighten/loosen iteself.maybe if you loosend your bb cup non drive side it may run a lil smoother as i know on my old v!z bb i did the cup up a lil to tight and the noises was because it was crushing the bearings.

Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Good Idea Batman! i will try that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo_897 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 could it be the pedals? maybe in need of some grease?.make sure your bb is clean from any shards of metal dirt etc that could be the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat-trials Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) If I were you I'd check the lockring holding the free wheel together, with an ACS, because of the way it freewheels its easy for them to come undone. I know you have a tensile ffw but just make sure its done up tight (not the freewheel onto the cranks thread but the ring that holds the two halves of the freewheels together). Happened once with my eno even though it threads the opposite way it still managed to come loose.Tom Edited April 24, 2007 by strat-trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I don't think its anything to do with my freewheel or the cranks really it must be the BB. Both sides are really tight and yes it is the echo BB sold on tarty at £45. I comes with the anti-creek substance found on the threads so i wouldn't of thought anything should be up with that .Anyways guys thanks for all your replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 About question 1 i heard Fred Savage (koxx uk importer, for those that dont know) speaking about the new disks last year i think it was at a British round and even he said they are not worth getting as they are silly price, i cant remember the exact number now but was like £150-£180 so may be hard 1 to get although is waste of money but, agreed it does look the mutts nutts.

The pedles were DMR v8s and were pretty much brand new so strange really..Many thanks still though to people that posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
