      I'm glad you made youre choice! I was also abit lost at first, the arcade is really a good bike, well I hope.. ;)

      ah, if Ali c recomended it to me and compared it better than the skye, then thats gonna mean something ;)

  2. how often do aluminium bars get snapped? im builing up a skye and i suppose ill get either the arcade high risers or the skye riser bars, but when would i need to change them? i dont wanna smash my teeth out after a drop thats all....

      I've not snapped any Inspired bars but I did swap a pair I had after a years abuse just for peace of mind. They had been used in demos with 10ft drops every day over summer though. But in all honesty you will be fine, I have 100% trust in the Arcade bars

    3. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      ahh ok cheers for this, the weight makes me think they'll snap quicker than normal bars, but i guess theyre made well. arcade it is! and yeah ill make a "progress post" soon. cheers guys, means a lot :)

      alloy for the win - strong and light is always a good combo

  3. are trialtech highrisers identical to the inspired skye risers? and is the strength effected in any way or are they just completely identical besides logos?

      The tt hight rise are actually about 10mm wider i think...

    3. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      thats good for me then, i love the feel of the tt highrisers so much! :D

      nicolasp1405

      Maybe you should consider the dmr Rims as tarty has them... In green ;)

    3. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      yeah but i want something thats gonna be strong as well, and i dont really like dmr stuff.... not being fussy, i just dont like them much. also there cheaper rims and gonna be cheap for a reason... i can spend as much as i want if its gonna be the best kit. also the green ones on there are discontinued anyway, thanks though :P

    4. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      im gonna have to try find an alternative i guess, i could get some black atomlab pimps because i think my dad knows a place where they can anodise stuff so rims would probably be no problem, who knows..... and im ordering my skye frame kit today so thats something to look forward too! :D

  6. best ways to run in a BB beofre trials use and for how long? and no idiots please, truthfully :)

      When you reply to a post or make a new post, you click on more reply option then chose files and you'll access to your folder on your computer. You go to the folder where there is the photo you want and click attach or something like it(i'm on ipad so its abit different) after that the folder will close and you'll see your photo under the attach button(in the more reply option menu), click it then you'll have your photo uploaded to the furom! :)

      Check the video called nogames on eightypsi.com, the guy on the blue inspired has them

      They are dark green but if its sunny bright metallic green, beauties

    3. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      yeah Ian Johnstone i think is his name, and thats the shade and shine im after anyway so i think i might go for them. price is cheap too which is a bonus, thanks for the help bro :)

    4. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      and i like the look of omen's, bit of a mix between the skye and element i'd say, hope your "omen project" goes well ;)

      Julesfoxx

      ask how much they want and call dibs then never reply when they reply back on items for sale.

      I believe you need a certain amount of posts before you can change that.

    4. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      that's what I was thinking

  20. why does having a rotor bigger than 185mm on an inspired void the warranty?

    1. Show previous comments  3 more
    2. AdamR28

      AdamR28

      Yep, it will cope with it, but it's to stop stupid people using massive rotors with no mechanical sympathy then whinging when the frame breaks...

    3. AdamR28

      AdamR28

      By no mechanical sympathy, I mean landing backwards off stuff with the brake locked on fully.

    4. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      ahh ok thanks :)

      What else do you need for it?

    4. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      not a great deal. cranks, bb, bashring chain tensioner and thats it me thinks :)

  22. MONEY WAITING - Anyone got a pair of Atomlab 24" Pimp or Pimplite anodised green rims? Or know anywhere or one to get a pair from? Even if they're a bit scratched up, pm me or let me know somehow :) cheers

      do you know what are the differences between them?

      the DMR still exist on store shelves

    3. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      true, but if i wanted them i would buy them.

    4. HippY

      HippY

      that was like the reason why I mentioned it to you, you can wait for an atomlab to appear for a gooood while, or get some decent green rims now. they are anodised, and no they are not atomlabs, but they are strong

  23. where is the best place to get tar? (rim hs33)
