I heard they are a bit crap for trials, the pins break really easy.

I would get some black DMR v8s, oh wait, I just have. For my jump bike. I got fed up of swapping pedals from bike to bike all the time.

Don't change anything else, the rims and bashring give just enough colour to make it stand out, but not too much.

EDIT: I thought it looked a bit strange, the rear hose is just daft, but it has no grind! That is what looks strange to me. Grind the back rim. Mint.

EDIT 2: Also, get the proper rotor. If you changed the pedals and the disc rotor, it would look sooo nice. I grind the blue off the back rim. Or if you want a smooth rim, sand it off.

O, ok then i think i'll give the pedals a miss. Has Deng released any of his new pedals to any of his sponsors yet and if so what are they like.

Well i am running zoo pads at the moment and didn't really feel the need to grind my rim but I'm going to get some of them green rock pads and then grind it.

I heard them Revel pedals are rather good so i might consider them at some stage( in black).

And as with the rotor I'm running on the front, this is the story-when i built the bike up i was using a magura Louise, the brake itself wasn't the best and i got my hope for £20 of a mate. I bled it and did the dousing with water thingy you do with them so make them work better. I got it good and decided to leave that rotor on. When i bought the brake he gave me an a-z spikey rotor with it aswell but I'm going to have to get it straight and remove the oil from it. Which i may well do.

Anyways thanks for the advice...

Tom.....

Edit: and i know the rear hose is pathetically long, going to get shortened.

Looks nice but too many different shades of blue, if you ask me :ermm: .

By the way, is that the new style Echo Team ('07). If, so how are you finding it for different moves?

Cheers,

Joe.

Yea it is the 07, i think its the pedals that don't do this bike justice, crap blue. Well i used to ride a mission before this and as you can imagine i find it a great deal better. Great for sidehops, gaps and the usual things. My mate has a python and i find mine much more flicky but still great on the back wheel. It is a tiny bit shorter than the python but to be honest i don't think it makes much difference in terms of being to short or being to long. (Y)
