LEON Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 What was wrong with normal cranks and a normal bash guard? Never saw the point of the integrated stuff, you're just getting rid of 95% of your options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good, light, cool as shit cos it's back street trials stuff integrated with mainstream mountain bike stuff? I'm all for it... if it works.

LEON Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 All bash guards are light lol. If that whole hollow machined out breaky bit was solid...it would still be light, and it wouldn't break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i bought it at first I didnt expect such problems and after thinking about options I realised these cranks wont work with anything else actually :D. I dont want to buy new cranks just because of it but seems I have to. Also, I saw Ross on his bike is using spider for gxp cranks if I am right. So maybe I should try that.

roozor Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Nice man! How did you get the chain perfectly tight with no tensioner? I'm just about to change my rear hub to a hope pro 4 trials. Quite want to ditch my tensioner if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not an old chain and I used half link, also added some plastic in dropouts because there was 1 or 2 mm free space. For now Im using trialtech tensioner because chain stretched a bit.

Petras Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 UPDATE. Any suggestions for a new frame? Yes, it cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Which part of the frame is that? Do you do lots of moves where the brake calliper is pulled away from the frame? As in, landing fakie with the brake on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petras Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Fakies with brake on didn't happen only tiretaps or front ups. Its downtube. Now sending for inspired guys to test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are really scared of them but you want hex anyways just upgrade those cranks or buy a x3 sram spider with sprocket and bashring and replace inspired integrated bashring.

Al_Fel Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm struggling to see the crack in that frame! How the hell did you spot it? Have you got xray vision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got xray vision? :DD, paint cracked somehow in the beginning. Removed and there was a micro crack as I saw. Sent it to Inspired for a test. Frame was fine, they said sometimes paint can crack. Holding strong since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the old one but it had 1 gen inspired riser bars. Fourplay with arcade bars feels much better thats what I can say ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
