Trails frames are made to be light, they will fatigue fracture much faster and more easily than a normal bike. I still say you buy my bike. Echo Urban, baby. Hadleys 108 point engagement hubs, ultegra derailer….

i agree that trials bikes do break more then others…but…there are many kinds of trials frame out ther..and some last LONGER then the others for example an echo!..echo sucks in my opinon…i've seen echo frames starts to crack in 4 months…..and other frames starts to crack about a year…most trials frames…if u ride it offen would last a year or a year and a bit…they dun't last long….but it also depends on who rides it and his ridding style.

but i am trying to say that …echos are weaker then others out there.
consider a planet x frame, cuz they are build nice..niec paint job, and 5 year warrenty, and about the same price as echos,

but ya..that's just what i think…do what eva u like dude!

yes….the hub needs to wear in the first 60hs of ridding, but u see after that…..it's prime time man!…..u were prob using a alum drive shell, alum drive shell isn't for trials u gota get a steel shell…other wise the slum shell would strip right away..
but ya in the first 60h it's non-stop skipping…ithouhgt when i just got mine i was like wow…this is so bad…y didn't i spend on much money on this peice of shit..but after..it's like…omg!
