I saw Inspired chart about this but i just want to know if any(for example) 160 cm tall rider here in this forum got a Hex and how is like or this bike is just for tall riders only? Thank you anyway.

This should answer your question hopefully: https://www.inspiredbicycles.com/upload/site/www/main/doc/2022-height-chart.jpg

I would really like to take my two boys to see the Drop N Roll guys, I know they where at the world cup last weekend We have seen The Clan which is great to see, especially with you @Ross McArthur😉

Dub is the axle standard. The axle has a diameter of 28.99 as pointed out by Daan. But they are several bottom bracket shells: BSA, pf30, etc. For your inspired you need a dub BSA bottom bracket.

ok gotcha!! since this it's not a topic that I know much I wasn't sure... all good then!

Dude, you're getting things mixed up. You have a crank (the thing with the big axle and arms where you attach the chainring and pedals to) and a bottom bracket (the cups with bearings that go into the frame). Shimano cranks use a 24 mm axle, DUB a 28.99 mm one, so the bottom brackets are different. So just replace the Shimano bottom bracket on your bike with the DUB bottom bracket that came with the crank (at least the one in your link came with a bottom bracket) and you're good to go.

Have a swatch at The Clan Cycle Stunt Team Facebook page (old school). Our Iain usually puts up where we will be a few weeks in advance but its generally the events "job" to do the advertising. If events organisers specifically ask, the team will do advertising for them through our own social media pages. It also helps if events do their own poster, which is an easy share. But you're right, demos teams should do more in terms of marketing. I remember seeing the Animal Tour dates in MBUK and having my life evolve around when Ashton was coming to the local Halfords😅

But I think it's true that the truvaliv crankset isn't compatible, because when I look at the page of the inspired flow crankset says that uses the 'Shimano style' (image attached) also when I look at the truvaliv crankset says that is compatible with inspired hex and fourplay, but doesn't mention inspired flow

like, apparently the inspired flow uses a shimano bottom crankset (hollow tech) and the truvaliv crankset uses a DUB BB (or something like that I get a bit lost here) so I should replace the bottom crankset before installing that crankset I was told this in a workshop near my apartment, and they told me something like "trust me, I've been in the bikes world for 20 years and this crankset isn't compatible", so not sure if he is right, or was something like "trust me bro this doesn't fit" but he is wrong xdd

Agreed. Still going strong.

It's compatible with almost any bike in the world. I don't know where you read that it doesn't fit Flow?

Just thought I'd have a sneak peek at Eurovision Song Contest 2024 nonsense, and had to do a double take on artist Bambie Thug/Doomsday Blue for Ireland. Holy sh*t on one hell of a performance literally. Was expecting some pop nonsense, but was totally the complete opposite, surprised the censorship would allowed such a performance for a global audience. Wouldn't expect it to make the finals, but definitely a unique standout performance.

Hi there! I wanted to lighten my bike so I bought this crankset: https://www.trial-bikes.com/kit-de-bielas-truvativ-descendant-7k-dub-p-538874.html I thought it was compatible with my bike but it turns out that it is compatible with the inspired Fourplay and Hex, but not with the Flow model so this makes me think... any crankset for the inspired flow that is worth it? or maybe it makes sense to change the bottom crankset to make it compatible with the cranks I bought (like the hex and fourplay bikes, I listen to you!) Regards and thanks!

I follow a number of display teams on social media but never seem to hear about the shows they're attending until afterwards! Apparently some have been right on my doorstep at some unspecified point in the past but I never heard a whisper about it. Please display teams make it easier to find out about upcoming shows you're attending!

WTF is this country coming to And what's all the hate on GB News covering the protest march.

Hi there.Inspired Hex recommendation shows that lowest rider highs should be 160 cm.I just wondering if someone here is same hight and ride Hex? Sorry if that is a bit silly question.

You are right,that is what i experienced swapping bars.With low bar you have lowering your chest and put a lot of hands and upper body energy to overcome this "heavy front end" filing and have a shorter time(compered to high rise bar)to get to the balance point and tuck your knees.With the high rise set up you have a little more time. You explained it better and detailed,thank you.I will keep riding with that high rise bar because give more time to react if got things incorrectly (like missing to tuck my knees on time).I have practice more in order to get backhop rightly. Thank you.

Bonkers contraption Drift skills

It is a compromise. The more weight you have on the front, the more straight you are relative to the bottom bracket on the rear wheel. This means your center of gravity is closer to the balance point, so less effort is required to stay in this position. On the other side, with more weight on the front, you need a bigger displacement from center of gravity to be able to rise the front wheel. You can compensate a lower bar by lowering your chest more during the first phase of a bunny hop. But it costs more energy and it is more difficult to execute correctly. Bikes like these Giant were short and with a long and low front end. Do not forget that using a high rise bar reduces the distance between your hands and foot, like riding a frame with a shorter reach (and also shifts the weight distribution to your feet). Having a wide bar may also lower your upper body and puts more weight on the front.

For other guys possibly doing this, it is Chris King Threadfit 30 fitting 3 to be used with Eewings. And Inspired will be releasing Canecreek Eewings bashring soon. The existing Truvative Inspired bash is NOT compatible with Eewings cranks.

Cranks: Look through your local classifieds/FB Marketplace for used Sram/Truvative DUB cranks. There should be some MTBers selling them usually. Tube: This one you CAN go to Aliexpress from. Aliexpress "Ridenow" TPU tubes are excellent and lighter and cheaper than Tubolito tubes. Rims: If you could stretch your budget a little more, Carbon rims from Light Bicycle would be the best. They are light, strong, and tubeless compatible to be run with an insert in the back. If you are doing another wheel build, use alloy nipples and bladed spokes for extra weight savings.

I find this story more interesting ahead of Miami GP more than the departure of Newey. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/us-congress-members-demand-answers-from-liberty-over-andretti-f1-block/10605495/ Well done Lando, even though you inherented the win and Max had issues towards the end.

Ok.I did put my Inspired bar back on the bike and did tilt it a little bit back from vertical so that i could do bunnyhop easier.With this Pro bar was somehow easier to get balance point for backhop(i am still learning) but had to put a lot of energy for bunnyhoping.I have to try some compromise about and learn to backhop with high rise handlebar. Old dogs here were right,low and long fot pure trials and high and short for street ride. Be well people.
