Thanks Guys, had a feeling this would be a work up! I’m definitely not risking some numpty blasting through the frame. Believe me, last year I had a local “pro” bike painter burn through the seat tube of a Reynolds frame With. fu#%ing blow torch?!? Roadie Tw#t.. I really like the Raw industrial look. Something I don’t need to be too precious about. Definitely want to preserve those lovely fat welds!! I’m leaving the fork as is.. don’t mess with forks!?! I’ve heard good things about that Starchem.. looks like I’m going to have to roll my sleeves up..
cheers

I’d really appreciate some tips on getting this off!
I’ve never even considered Raw before, but this is a bit of an emergency!!
Would you DIY it or get the professionals in?looked into blasting but... seems wrong to me?
cheers

Sorry I’m away from a laptop and I can’t get the video up! Basically the free hub driver binds up when I tighten up the wheel? It doesn’t bind completely, and would seem to operate as usual but I just can’t work out what’s causing it!?

iPhone video? Help!?

I’ve never noticed this before...? had it from new, low mileage, tried on multiple frames, fixed and adjustable dropouts. And now I’ve opened up the drive side and cleaned, greased checked everything is there, including the 1mm washer!? Everythings in order! I always pinch the drive side first when fitting the wheel, and then alternate to tighten her up! Not what’s shown the video, that’s just to make it clear
Any ideas? Cheers

Sorry, didn’t intend to abandon the thread! Thanks for comments guys but I’ve got something sorted... who knew?! 135mm and 150mm off the bloody shelf!

@JoshLeech or @euanbeaden, both on Instagram/Facebook and great engineers.
Nice one mate!

Does anyone know who or where this is kind of work could be done in the UK? Cheers!

Wow......! they really have nailed it this time! Satin pewter blue.... very very nice! and the old black forks trick with the Arcade! I Love it..

That's interesting as they are two vs. one pot.

the MT7 and MT6 use the same lever just with a different coloured sticker
Thankyou Ali, having just opened the box I can confirm that you are indeed correct!.. and that I am indeed a fool

I know someone's tried it, It's an expensive mash up, but will it be worth it?

Flipp's been using Trialtech Sport and Sport Lite forks with his while he's been testing it
Cheers Mark, this frame is starting to distract me from getting my Arcade back on the road. Do you think it would be to big a leap for someone rapidly approaching 40

What 'normal' trials fork would you suggest for such a beast!?
11 minutes ago, Mark W said:Worth noting that's £349 with a sealed bearing headset to go with it too. No idea about forks, sorry. Haven't heard anything about them so I assume not. Flipp's been using 'normal' trials forks for a while so it's a different setup to the Arcade in terms of needing some more specific forks to match.
-
Any news? or have I just missed it?
-
Thanks Mark, sounds like fun! I'll give it a go.

Hi, I'd really appreciate some advice on making a bb mounted bash for these cranks (Ali) if it does the job, then it will do for me!
Cheers

Been running the regular Storm rotor for a while now with MT7's, Anyone tried the SL? They look a bit like the Hope Trial Zone, with less surface area, and they had some serious bite!

They won't fit unfortunately - there is just enough clearance 'static', but when you load the cranks up they will clip the stays...
Cheers Adam,
I suspected as much!!

They are just cranks they'll work on any bike. any cranks other than the inspired ones will feel totally different, in my oppinion a lot better!
Sorry what I should have said, Has anyone fitted them to the 2015 Arcade without encountering any clearance issues. I've had various issues in the past on the original Arcade with Saints and BB spacers all on one side.. Any tips appreciated.
Cheers

Just wondering if anyone has tried this yet? With the new Inspired chainring bash they looks great! And now they are appearing on the aluminium bikes you've got to ask....?
-
It just doesn't make any bloody sense to me at all. Don't they say that there's a very fine line between genius and madness? I'd say very fine indeed!!!

Does anyone know how or if Inspired are dealing with these failures. I've got the original first batch Arcade and a crack has just begun to show in the same place as the others I've seen. I really can't fault the bike at all, but I couldn't put the bike through anything like what it was intended for, and I've never run a 203mm brake. Gutted!
-
Cheers Mark, The bike looks sweet by the way, I'm just about to embark on the silver switch myself, going to strip and polish the spikes and trolley dash the hope Isle!
