    Ah cheers for the info, and having the front rim on the rear sounds like a pretty good idea for saving weight, but does it not feel really unstable on the rear?

    No, not really.. i had Trialtech 38mm rims on before, so the 37mm front rim does not feel any different! When it comes to strenght i guess the front rim is strong enough aswell.

    Since im only fooling about brakeless :)

    This is HOT!!!!!!

    How the hell did you get it to weigh that little, i thought 24" were near impossable to get under 9 kg?

    Also what tires are they, they look pritty rockin

    I have just bought pretty light parts all over.Cutting off wire tabs, brake mounts and blasting the frame and fork saved alot. aand i have a Echo TR frontrim at the rear! Dont need a heavy , wide doublewalled rim

    The Tyres are Schwalbe Tabletop 2.25 Wire..They are okey, abit to light to use for trials, exept as a front tyre.. Works fine for chilling around brakeless :)

    Good luck finding an 11t :P

    What seat is that, out of interest? Gusset or something? Looks sweet anyway (the whole bike, plus the seat :P)!

    Its a Odyssey Senior2 plastic!

    All the Bmx'ers hate it, too small ^_^(Y)

    I have a pretty wide Ultegra 11t cog..But afraid that it won't have enough grip in its teeth and slip :P

    Wow, whats your gearing? 16: something? Is there not a bit of annoying slapping action going on from the chain?

    16:13 :P

    Feels nice for trials though..

    Ordered wrong from tarty, was going to order 12 and 13, but i ordered 13 and 14 instead >_<

    and i have bought two used 74kingz that is on its way.

    Tidy stuff dude!

    I'd rock the seat a little higher and drop the bars a smidge but otherwise it's gorgeous. Great weight too!

    :D

    The seat is at its highest now! tiiiny wedge seatpost :lol:

    The handlebars are to high for trials, but its really fun for spins and manuals! Going to change to a Onza 85mm*20deg stem and take of 5mm of stackers :)

    Hey

    Waiting for a used 74kingz tensioner..but other than that its perfect!

    I'm the same, want either a Born, Slate II or FANS.

    Worried that the Borns a bit long though?!

    This looks very nice though!!

    The born does not feel long at all, because of the really slack headangle.

    The wheelbase tricks you to think its a long bike, its the reach you really should look at :)

    Altough, had a go on a Slate 1 and a Slate 2, and they feel nicer. Lower bb suits me better.

    Spec:

    Frame: Born Ultimatum

    Fork: Neon Curved blade, i have cutted off the disc brake mount.

    Frontwheel: Echo TR hub/w Ti screws, Sapim spokes, Stans ZTR 355 rim

    Rearwheel: Because screw on hub, Sapim spokes, Trialtech SL

    Crank: Rocman 175mm

    Bottombracket: Reset Ti with Echo Alu bolts

    Bashring: Trialtech Halfring Alu

    Freewheel: Echo Ti

    Pedals: Echo SL Ti

    Frontbrake: Avid SD SL with ti bolts, Nokon Alu wire, Some Tnn v-pads

    Rearbrake: Magura Hs33, Echo TR brakeclamps, Echo SL lever, Tnn Coust Pads

    Reartyre: Continental mountainking Supersonic

    Frontyre: Schwalbe Furious Fred

    Tubes: Continental supersonic

    Stem: Trialtech Forged High Rise

    Handlebar: Born Carbonfibre

    Headset: Neon with alloy screw, carbon spacers

    Grips: Trialtech Foam

    Chain: Trialtech light

    Would guess this spec as listed would weigh close too 7500g...Might build it up with the light tyres just to weigh it again.

    Its not really usable with the light tyres and tubeless at front..( Mountain king supersonic and furious fred)

    Good for sidehops..thats all :)

    So at it is now, the updated version at 8070g is the lightest the bike can be, and still be rideable!

    Could save some small grams on hubs, rear rim, rear brake, stem, tryall crankarms .. without the bike getting any worse.. Probably 100g or so there.

    I have found out that a bike that weigh 8.4-8.8 is perfect, when thinking about riding the thing :rolleyes:

    Everyone that have tried my bike says " Oh, fook, is this thing really rideable?" at first..then "Hate the frontbrake..."

  18. 160Mm Cranks On 24"?

    I felt big difference from 170mm arms and 175mm on my (brakeless)Inspired..

    the 175mm arms gave much more power, and was really nice when i was riding trials.

    The 170mm arms was alot easier to pedal fast with, felt like i could pedal at a lot higher rpm.. This was nice when riding park and street :)

    Would choose 175mm arms though ;)

    thet aren't all that different, but for the sake of argument, say you have the same geometry and same brake mounts, bb standards etc on two frame+ fork sets (whatever you think is good for street-trials), the only difference is that one takes the front end height in the handlebar and the other divides it between handlebar and bars/stackers. which would you choose and why, this is what i am trying to find out..

    The inspired.. Looks better, is alot lighter, the gearing is better suited for streettrials, and you have the oppurtunity to put on a long stem and ride "real" trials.

  25. What Made You Go 24"?

    Haha, thanks :) I thought I saw an order with your name on for some 24" bits earlier - that'd certainly explain it. You won't regret it (Y)

    Heh, jea..Making my Inspired 1500g lighter :giggle:

    Going to make a bike check later when i get the parts..Think im going for black or stripped frame :)

    Have had my Inspired for two months now, But had a Urban fork on with cut steerer, which was waay too low..So when you guys sent me a wrong fork for my Born, i ordered a new one, and mounted "the wrong" fork on the inspired. And now the bike is awsome!
