What rim would you suggest for a 24" street build? the Atomlabs Trail pimp (28mm wide) or the Inspired Pro rim (36mm wide) its getting hard to find 24" 32 hole rims but those 2 seem to be pretty available

Do you know any of the specs on the rim, like how wide and the weight?

So whats the difference between the Arcade rims and the Inspired pro rims? Are there plans to release just the rims?

that makes sense.....25mm is a pretty shallow when you already have a steep head angle. How about those Arcade Rims...are the a good quality and durable for street??? Im having a hell of a time finding a good 24" 32 hole street rim

What is the fork offset of the Arcade? Tarty has 25mm offset and I believe everyone else has it at 30mm offset

Can someone let me know what the effective top tube length is, Center of the seat tube to center of the head tube or at least the top tube length from the seat tube to head tube? Im trying to dial in my stem length for a future Arcade build.

Thanx! How about the stem that comes with it 90x35 is that the optimal size or or those who currently ride it dropping it back down to a 90x25 or smaller? Ive seen a few rider pics and video and it seems like they dropped the rise a bit.

Has anyone had any issues hitting there feet on the front tire due to the steep head angle?

depends what your using them for for street they work great, pretty much the sale as the Atom labs rims featured on the Skye, for trials I would agree they would be too thin...

Spank Subrosa 24" rims are AMAZING If U can find them, they quit making 24" stuff about 2 yrs ago. I run them now and also have a few pairs on stand by.

I have never had a single issue with Hope's

Exactly! Everything else in inspired's line up comes w 180mm disc tabs, everyone seems to be moving to post mounts so why not go that route????

THX for the advice!!

For those of you who have the Arcade what gear ratios work with it? I currently run an 18 x 14 on my fourplay that would be close to 22 x 17. Also would running a 160 rotor provide enough braking power for a 200lb rider? Im not a fan of running adaptors and if I'm paying that much for a frameset I'd like it to come ready for 180 mm rotors and not have to run an adaptor, every other Inspired bike comes ready for 180 rotors....

The Head tube angle is Waaaaaaaay slacker on the NS bikes at 70 degrees

after test fitting both the 68-73 and the 83 its definitely the 83mm DH that fits better, the spindle has the proper depth into each crank arm where on the 68mm version it does not and this is with the same amount of spacers 2 on the drive and 1 on the non drive. On my Triton the chain stays are about 10mm wider than the inspired fourplay.

Ali"s advice sounds good but my question is does it make sense or not to get the wider axle bb (83mm)

so does it make sense to use the longer 83mm axle BB width or stick with the standard 68-73mm, Im trying to fit some Saint cranks on a triton street and Im worried about the chain stay clearance

what BB length did you go with for your saint cranks?? 68-73 or 83MM

Ive had several frames over the last 10 years and the inspired foreplays geometry is AWESOME, waaaay more flickable than the stock 26" frames (mostly because of the steeper head angle) Also the new echo 24" frames have basically the same geometry and ride exactly the same (especially the Czar)
