Scott Gibbs Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Anybody know where the hell i can get some chrome rims for when i get the inspired. I have looked everywhere for em. Quite a few riders on here have them on the inspireds, ashton et's. ect. So i thought some one could shed some light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think Rhinolites come in chrome, if i remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think Rhinolites come in chrome, if i remember correctly.Yeah they do, although they cost something silly like £60 each and no one stocks them. To be honest, they really aren't needed for trials and are far more likely to get damaged and messed up due to rimming out/denting etc. They do look kinda swish though! They other option is tracking down some old Araya rims on eBay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want good solid cranks which you won't mind scratching and bashing into things, go for something like TrialTechs- I've been using some for the past year or so and have no complaints at all.

Thats a good point i dont wanna spend shit loads on cranks and batter the hell out of them. Was Gunna go with trialtech cranks, trialtech twin ring bashring and screw on sprocket. Seems good value too. Either that or the meta crank/bashring combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I've picked up several sets of Middleburn cranks with bashguards, each time in great condition from the second hand section of this site. I've not payed over £35 for a set, well worth keeping an eye out Chrome rims provide sweet braking if kept cleeeeeean and in the dry, but in the wet you'll be riding like Rowan...

Ill have a look see whats in there, the problem im having with chrome rims is i cant bloody find any! No one seems to stock em right now, i mean i can live without them i just would of been nice to have a set!

Luke Rainbird Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I wanted a set of Single Walls but they didn't have them cheap and black! If I were you, I wouldn't get hung up on the chrome rim thing. Throw on a pair of Rhyno Lites and get out on the thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 they are Azonic bars, you can get them from chainreactioncool ill have a look in a minute see if they got any in stock.

If I were you, I wouldn't get hung up on the chrome rim thing. Throw on a pair of Rhyno Lites and get out on the thing like i said i would like a pair but there not essential! I will just quick with what i got. Black halo rear with white spokes and white hub and white halo front with black hub and black spokes. They seem to be more unusual that majority of wheels ive seen on the 24" bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Sorry to go back to the 24tour discussion, but as co-founder i'll speak up Basically, east to west roadtrip, alllll about fun. No pressure, no abuse, no inch pinching, just nice chilled jam sessions, chilled evenings, few drinks (probably wont stay as 'few' for very long), good mates, and a week of pure unadulterated awesome. As for the "no zoots" forget that, MAM and anyone else for that matter, i'd love to have you on the tour for at least one of the legs We've got a few honourary non-24 riders coming too, but they're a secret If you know how to have a good time you're welcome along, we've just got a couple of rules to go by...As for the choice, it seems your minds made up! I love my Leeson sooooooo much, geo's pretty much identical to an inspired, just slightly lower and 5mm shorter. As for rims, whack some rhyno lites on, they're cheap, light and more than up to the job. Edited May 9, 2009 by Marvin the Martian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
