  1. Trials stems are wierd... I see what you are saying with the HT angle... i think the 20" bikes would suit a taller steerer and a short bmx style bar.  Having your steerer(bars) be a 4" radius from stem or so away from the stem does compromise certain moves and more so handling in general.  A steeper steerer and shorter stem will defiantly give you what you are looking for.  Ive always seen inspired bikes as 24'' bmx bikes with disc brake mounts so maybe try a bmx geo(with slightly higher bb) with postmount tabs from marino and see how it feels.  I feel like the stem / bar is really what needs to be figured out.

  2. My tensioners are all the way out and my new KMC Z610 HX, 3/32" is 3-4 mm to short and if I add two more links its too long... Right now Im using my friends old chain and the only reason I think it fits is because its been stretched already... Will I have to use a half link? or should I try a different chain?

  3. My 2nd Marino video.

    I am beginning a second year with Marino. Getting a new frame ready as we speak!

    Enjoy!

    Nice!! A trials specific marino frame... geo looks similar to a 2011 echo? What is it and what are you going to with your next frame?

  4. Yea, Im gunna order a boosted soon.. there is quite a bit of flex. Possibly a new tire soon.. I may just ride the DMR untill something trial specific comes out. Im sure in 2012 koxx will make a 24" then possibly 24" tryall wheels as well.

    Also if anyone is wondering the heatsink blues have excellent bite and hold on a smooth rim.. However if its wet the pads are useless.

  5. After getting the frame in July, Ive had several unexpected financial setbacks since and finally got together all the parts together earlier this month. And coming from a Tank which I rode for about a year this is A great change.
