  1. I'm sorry but i am amazed by the nice reponses you have got.

    Its stupid, end of. A top cap is like £1, a bike shop would probably give you an old one for nothing. Not only does it preload the headset but its an added emasure in keeping your forks connected you your bike. I have to ask why the f**k you would risk not using one? Are you that hard up you cant part with a quid?

    Yeah it ''might'' be fine and all that shit, but just why? I'd rather try and hold on to my teeth for now. I'm sorry i just dont get the purpose of this what so ever.

    Take it easy m8, I can't get my brake hose through the steerer of my echo fork because its too narrow, so im considering all possible solutions including this one (geting rid of the bolt so i can get the hose through).

    I must say that despite all this positive comments im still sceptical, but I'll try. Thank you all for your comments

  2. Hey m8s,

    I ride a echo urban fork with a bb7 front brake on my inspired.

    I have problem with my brake tube when i do tailspins.

    Because i can't get my brake tube through the steerer (cause my echo fork has thicker edges and a small „star“(the thing in which you screw your bolt in from the top of the stem, sry for my vocabulary)) I have to use a long front brake tube so that it can go around one circle when i do a tailspin.

    But the problem is that my brake tube cant handle it no matter how long it is, and the metal cap on the top of the tube gets drilled by the metal part of the tube and the brake becomes useless.

    Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there a way to get the brake tube through the steerer no matter the narrow steerer hole?

    I would be very grateful for any advice, cheers

  3. Then get a inspired, its great for spins and bunnyhops, and it allows you to ride trials. If you could get some trials moves in your style, you would be one bad ass mother f**ker..

    However, if you plan to ride only street, the bike you're riding at the moment is pointless, its holding you down.. Imagine what you could do if you had the right bike for street riding. Think about it, it may seem hard to adjust to a new geometry, but it will be well worth it.

  4. It can't be compared with real tgs bikes no matter what changes i make, I'm aware of that.. I had a 12cm stem a few months ago, but everyone told me to get rid of it.. What size do you recommend? And should i put spacers underneath the stem or not? Thanks allot for the answers ! You've helped allot really!

  5. I need your opinion on the following..

    How much harder is it to ride tgs with a inspired fourplay (90mm stem) then with a stock tgs bike, and why?

    And if someone could please explain me this difference in bike geometry.

    Also if you could please recommend me the changes in order to make my inspired as much tgs as possible :)
