What´s your bike?
-
Did you actually count those bikes in bike pics tread chris?I would say it´s pretty accurate sample of what people ride here.Yes,those cranks might be popular outside trials,why post pics of them on trials-forum?I might put pic of 1000 mtb components and 1000road components here that would fit without any modification,what does it prove?nothing,noone would use it even when they can,why?becase they weren´t designed for this sport,just like those cranks.Does that say anything about them not being popular outside of trials market?If I did have 4x or DH bike I would prolly buy them,I don´t,so I will buy parts that actually can be used on my TRIAL bike.
-
I agree with all of that.I used to ride 4cross bike for trials and I was just as happy as I´m now on my trials specific bike. My posts weren´t about what´s better and worse and I can guarantee you won´t find one single post where I say one negative word about street trials or brakeless.All I´m saying and I always was saying is,that those damn cranks won´t fit on trial frame.I also said that they look nice and it´s actually sad that many riders won´t be able to use them because of that simple fact.What´s negative about that Sam?

How long do you ride trials?I´m waiting here for you to actually prove any of my claims in this argument wrong.Or any of those very experienced senior members to ´shot me down´.My advice to you is to not take your personal prejudges into debates,it clearly isn´t helping you to think. Since when is brakeless riding called pure trials? this is pure trials this is brakeless and this is street trials http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=danny+macaskill&oq=danny+mac&aq=0&aqi=g4&aql=&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=66347l69404l0l84627l17l11l0l1l1l1l264l1502l0.5.3l10l0 there are simmilarities,but it´s not the same thing and inspireds weren´t designed for pure trials,were they?does that mean you can´t ride trials on them?no,you can ride trials on road bike.Does that mean road bike is the best bike for it?I don´t think so,but you might have someting smart to say about it.and to support my statement about what the most of people ride here http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/32-bike-pictures/ count bikes which could use those cranks and then which couldn´t.I got 3:26 score,but I might miss something.

He might,but does he ride pure trials because of that one comp?I´ve seen many vids of him riding street trials,doing spins and backflips...Again, does one guy out of thousand prove anything?As far as I know he did it to show people that he can ride pure trials on whatever bike he wants and to promote hex.How many of inspired owners here ride natural?You know,that kind of riding that actually would be affected badly by lowered clearance of bigger chainring and bashguard?Sure,you can ride only BIU comps,in that case you might even benefit from having 24t bash
-
Maybe because I haven´t seen anyone ride pure trials on inspired in my life?I´m not hatin,but danny mac or Ali doesn´t ride trials anymore.Does that make their riding less impressive?No and I never said that I don´t like their style or anything negative about street trials.You can ride whatever style you want on whatever bike you like...Because this is not about what people want to use,it´s about what is actually compatible with other trial components used on trial bike,and those cranks won´t fit 90% of trial frames,end of debate.If you want to prove me wrong,go ahead,show me how would those cranks with 22t(or 32 as displayed on that photo) chainring fit on any of those frames here(besides inspireds and maybe beacause street) http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_frames/c14.html without using 140mm BB and copletely fecked up chainline.And yes,I´m awkward by proving you wrong in your argument about lifting,I´m sorry I hurt your feelings chris,I´m really sorry,can we be friends?
-
Yes it is,but this is trials-forum and most people here ride trial bikes.Yes inspireds and simmilar frames are popular,but not as popular here as classic trial frames.But this argument is going nowhere obviously...

My Last "help On Buying Disc Brake Topic" I Promise
ghostrider88 replied to Laurence--Trials's topic in Trials Chat
yeah,35kgs is not very light for sure -
Try to clean the chain/sprocket,if it doesn´t help,your chain or sprocket is probably worn out.
-
I´m not saying they aren´t high quality parts.But they wouldn´t fit on most of the recent trials frames because of chainring clearence issues,on my ozonys even 18t freewheel rubbed when used with 127mm BB and it´s very tight setup on my 06 pitbull too.So for inspireds they might be good,but that´s all I´m afraid.
-
Yes I did,they use different system,not 4arms spider...If they came in screw on version,they might be popular.
-
I remember when 25pound bike was considered superlight...
-
If you don´t use standard 18:15 gear ratio,than you might be able to use them.But most of "pure" trials riders do use this ratio.For street trials they might be ok for sure,if you don´t mind running bigger bashguard than most.
-
In some cases they aren´t,in most cases they are.Those cranks deffinately weren´t intended to be used for trials that´s allI´m saying,wake the fxxk up!
-
there is million trials specific cranks,rims and bb...Yes hope does produce few parts that are popular in trials,but those cranks...I don´t think so.they look nice though.
-
No,they are not.
-
yep,most likely it is.
-
not only heavy,also expensive. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=46499 might be good enough.
-
Gotta love your style...so smooth and effortless.
-
I want that damn fork!stop testing it,start selling it,it´s obviously better than other V forks on the market.
-
you´re welcome.
-
In that case,tt is your best bet.
-
trialtech...But if you put it on the hub,it might be prone to unscrewing the lockring though.

650mm or less.
