  1. thanks ali for clearing it up bud not so easy as that joe as ali just pointed out
  2. its currently in a box being posted out tomoz and dont know were to measure from and to
  3. im looking into getting a dirt jump/ street frame and after the top tube length similar to my inspired could anyone help
  4. inspired forks are like odyssey director forks echos are more like normal bmx forks which i prefer riding skate parks and dirt jumps on the inspired forks scare me to death with the amount of flex that they produce also after putting that i have found black market tech 9 forks which have a 414mm a to c only 4mm more than the inspired so going to run them
  5. i can see these going on my bike when there out since inspired take the mick to bring the cro-mo forks out
  6. it was just a way to make people look at the thread god sake everyone on this forum is so anal at the littlest of things i remember when this forum was fun and not full of teenagers being mr know it alls bring back the good old days of trials forum
  7. i guess it personal preference ,im glad some one likes flanges to must be a bmxer thing ;-) hopefully getting a video together in the next week or two ) watch this space
  8. ive ridden flanges on bmx for 4+ years best things since sliced bread when doing turn downs lookbacks and such just feel more in control and dmr motos just feel stiffer and have more surface area contacting the floor miles better for park and street holy rollers seem more dirt jump and street when i rode bmx people ran holy rollers never could feel confident with them ran odyssey dirt paths instead mile better contact area bit like the moto
  9. OK so this is my inspired pro 2012 bike things i have changed are: powder coated frame gloss white dmr moto 2.4 tyres as the maxis ones are rats trialstech cranks and bb because bash and echo sl ffw 18-12 gearing no tension is perfect bonz high rise bars and odi long necks with flanges i also upgraded the brakes from avid elixir 5's to shimano saints but due to the rear one having a leaky lever im riding brake less till its back from shimano on warranty I know im going to get slated about the front free wheel but i ride skate parks and street and natural and its perfect for all don't really notice it when doing manuals or flowing hips and bowls
  10. either wire wheel on a drill or go to a auto paint suppliers and get industry standard paint stripper that they use in car body shops its 50x more powerful than the stuff you get in bnq
  11. inspired hex is a better option over the fourplay

    No Frills

    that was class had such a great vibe to the riding well done to you sir
  13. you could do what i have done to my trials tech tensioner take the back plate off and only run the one jockey wheel works a treat and im running a gusset tank chain
  14. found this floating between some bmxers i ride with on facebook
  15. when looking through this forum i've noticed theres not many disc brake reviews like there are maggy and pad reviews so i thought id start one main things are: make: model: bike used on: pads used: rotor used rotor size: front rear or both: good points: bad points: ill start make:avid model:elixir 5 bike used on: 2012 inspired fourplay pads used:avid organic rotor used: avid clean sweep 3 rotor size:203 front rear or both:both good points: the only good point i can find with them is there cheap and good for beginners bad points: i got my brakes brand new on my 2012 inspired fourplay and all seemed good till they just have no bite or hold even with 203 rotors i ended up on my arse a few times when they slipped and then the rear lever popped and i sent it back to avid received it back and it still feels spongey and does not hold or bite conclusion: will not be buying a set again or running them on a trials bike as i value my life make:magura model:mt2 bike used on: 2012 inspired fourplay pads used:oem rotor used shimano xtr ice tech rotor size:180 front rear or both:both good points: cheap, light, easy to shorten hose and bleed front brake is great doesn't rub and bites and holds ok for now still bedding in bad points: rear brake rubs constantly on the rotor and seems to knock when gapping tried re setting the caliper everything no luck and everythings tight and no bite adjustment conclusion: going to give them a week if they don't improve i shall be selling them and buying echo tr discs as i know they work post your situations below
  16. received them yeasterday will bed them in and give a reveiw on them
  17. hi i have owned my inspred fourplay pro for 3 weeks now after popping my rear elixir 5 and sending it back to avid im looking into getting something better what would be better front and rear echo tr 180/180 or magura mt2 180/180 both with shimano xt rotors ? p.s i dont want hopes, avids, formula and cant afford saints all help welcome
  18. nice video of you both can see the progression what discs are you booth runnung ?
  19. love watching seans vids so creative and people moaning about its bmx on a trials bike but bmx started as racing not street riding its just people pushing the sport to new heights i will admit the last month of me owning an inspired has been the most fun riding in the 4/5 years or riding trials period instead or riding to inch pinch and brag about it on here and facebook its just about riding with your friends and enjoying yourself
  20. what gearing are you running and is the chain pritty tight ?
