  1. so many of these showing up lately,i should post up pics of mine.
  2. it looks good with the alignment pin cut down(silver rod to get chain alignment),it sticks out heaps far. make did you ever hit it on the 24? with your ankles etc.
  3. i think the new change in geo was for the best. the higher bb is a must. it make bunny hops so much easyier. i must say it would be awsome with 380 stays, i think the 385 is good for brakeless it just give a bit more stability and stops loop outs. All that aside,the frames are fantastic and ride so good,handle some abuse. Good work Ali just need to get onto making inspired forks that dont bend. Maybe the same as the current ones out of 4130? mine bennt in the legs just where they are curve for tire clearence. edit- i know the tires are heavy,they work good at the park and street,when i got trials riding i swap to a set of knobbly tires. best part with the tires is they have good pinch resistance. i dont care about the weight to much its still around 10.5kg.
  4. song is Tool-Sober Ali can you tell us the proto geo? Do you still have the proto? Alanczik-sorry man never ridenan ashton. give me time for the video,gotta get out and travel around for sick spots.
  5. you could compare to the old pure,the one i used to ride has similar reach and chainstays just the lower bb. the hex is really nice to ride.
  6. thanks for the comments guys. glad you like my video. hard to compare the inspired to other frames. for street riding i think the frame is perfect,the reach is fantastic for bunny hops,the bike spins really good,super easy. yes the white frame is an old pure,id been riding that for a while before the hex,got similar chainstays but the inspired reach is shorter and hops and feels better for this style of riding. I think alis imput on the geo was fantastic, i feel the geo is spot on for what the bikes designed for.props to inspired. the Hex feels very similar to a fourplay,i know because i had a fourplay for a year or so,i had to sell it because i found it hard swapping between the 24 and 26. mainly due to the 26 being a long frame and a complete differnet riding style. thats why i got the pure and now the hex.it feels fine swapping betwwen bikes. my trials bike has similar bb,and cs as the hex its just the reach and bar position. build quality of the hex is amazing,just the little things like not painting were rear hub bolts up is a nice touch,the bb isnt full of paint and the head tube with no paint. i highly recomend the hex for people who want a streety trials set up. my kitten wasnt taking a dumb,he just likes to sit on the grass and watch things,hes a little strange but cool.
  7. Made a quick little video,this was film in 30mins just after i built it up. ill be working on better video asap.

    looks good man,i just took my green rims off my stinger,its looks the same.
  13. what i said is true,you need to learn how tight to do things.im a fitter and play with big equipment, like 75mm spanners etc when using htem you gotta do it tight,but a M5 brake mount only need to be firm. Ive seen to many people not know how to use tools correctly and it suck when you gotta fix there bike(i feel sorry for all bike mechanics.) its not hard to use tools correctly at all.
  14. if you use your tools correctly you wont round out the heaps,then never be in this situation.
  15. the belaeys are excellent in the wet,you can trust your brakes
  16. mark- is the 1035 a confirmed wheel base? im a little disapointed.i think it need to be a little longer. At least for me anyways.
  17. sic riding,you stole the music for my next video.
  18. get the older model bb7,find em cheap on ebay from hongkong
  19. how cheap.got em on my trail bike.there not that good,but if there the right price.
  20. nicebike mate, ive got the same frame hanging in the shed,and now have the same colour rims aswell.we can play bike snap.
  21. depends on riding conditions. the bealey work excellent while wet and in dusty areas. not really that much difference in preformance until you take the above into account
  22. you guys have forgotten to mention that damon uses a pallet as a take off point,so his height is what ever the wall is minus the height of the pallet. damon and gillies suck at street,there not riding street, they are riding urban trials get i right. akrigg,macaskill lensosky etc are street riders,not pussies that ride urban trials and have every one think its street.
  23. the new rims are stronger,and hold a grid well,but the brake preformance is average.the brakes just dont seem to hold aswell,i put my old wheel in and the brakes works as they used to.
