NINJА

Hello, folks! Got some used rusty (WTF?) Tech 2 EVO Trialzones. Cleaned it, lubricated pistons, aligned (with old pads). Set it up with some used RT86 rotors and at the end got a nice hold and bite but lever feels spongy and non informative. What else can I do to get this nice feel, when you can play some tune with your pads (last time I got that nice feeling on some cheap shimanos, deore or SLX). Done all that by this guides:

Hello, guys! I heard that Arcade 2014 was not the best frame (high probability of cracking near seat tube). Is it truth? Is it worth - buying used one now or it's better to save for a new one? And how do you think, is it a nice price ( 700 pounds ) for this bike?

If we are talking about cheap shimano setup, what's better ZEE(used) or SLX/XT/XTR (used)? Because I see them for same price from time to time.

Obviously yes. Seems like the copy of 4play 2011-2013 with some changes.

Wow, didn't know that. It seems then that MT5>MT7 .

Thanks a lot! What can you say about braided hoses? Overkill or necessity in trials? I never broke any kind of hoses, but at the same time I don't care about weight, so I can't decide.. And should I change pads in trialzones right after buying it? Also is there any difference between V2 and TRIALZONE? And what difference between TRIALZONE and Tech3 levers?

It would be nice to have some info about budget and expensive brakes, suitable for trials/street-trials. Avid? Magura? Hope? Shimano? I need a pair of brakes I can rely on. And as far as I know - I would be forced to change pads for trialsy use? Form my experience I love Hopes for build quality and bombproof design, but I was never able to achieve saint 810-like braking power with them...

About this bike Everything is perfect in this bike, except of few things: 1) Bars. Inspired Arcade are really much better. Already ordered. 2) Brakes absolutely doesn't brake. Is it OK for this hayes? They are almost brand new. I cleaned rotors and pads with isopropanol and still braking power is worse than some cheap alivio/mechanic disc brakes. I cant even block my front wheel. What can I buy to replace them? Or maybe I should try another pads/rotors, because it's the most important part of brakes. 3) Octane One hub has too few engagement points. So, I guess there are nothing better than new HOPE hub? 4) What pedals would be better (safe/reliable) EXUSTAR PB525 or it's OK to use that noname Chinese nylon ones (afraid of axle snap)? 5) Front HUB. It's that old CZAR one, with strange axle, is it OK to use it? Any cons of that hub? 6) RIMS: fireeye excelerant. Is it something Chinese? Anyone know something about them? 7) Hussfelt cranks are OK, not too heavy? 8) Any sense of changing headset to HOPE? 9) Don't know what to do with that ZEE rear derailleur, I 100% do not want extra cable from rear to bars and don't need fast switching of gears. Maybe it would be a good idea to leave 2 sprockets? 16 for trialsy moves and 12 for streety ones and moving between spots? 2 sprockets + no shifter and no cables, just manual adjust between 2?

So, I've got that for 380 pounds, I'm not an expert, but it seems like it was almost unused. What year frameset is, 2011? Also give me some advice, please, what should I change?

Does they have FULL ARMOR SET (with helmet) for trials? I need one!

WHY they keep producing and selling THIS? I'm using some nylon pedals and my shins are very grateful to me. It's so sad that I didn't know about nylon pedals before.

Oh, it's that Spanish sociologist Santyago de Aener! ¡Bellísimo! Printed that post and put it into frame.

Hello, folks! I hope I'm mistaken, but it seems like trials/street-trials scene is fading. Even few years ago it was OK to ride on your own, but now it seems like there are even fewer riders and even activity on the forums (especially WTS/WTB) are going down. It's not a whining, I already accepted that years ago and will keep riding anyway because I love it, but.. what do you think about it?

Hello, guys! I'm looking for a new bars after TT HR. What would be better, considering the price: Inspired = £86, DaBomb = £32. Inspired Arcade: - 7050-T6 - Upsweep: 4° - Backsweep: 9° - Total rise : 102mm - Width: 730mm - Weight: 368g DaBomb Tactic: - AL6061 - Upsweep: 9° - Backsweep: 5° - Bar rise: 76.2mm - Width: 730mm - Weight: 393g

Looks sweet. Does it feels different from old (2011-2013) 4play geo?

Why buy leaking fame echos, while you can buy some magura/shimano/hope/avid brakes?

Well.. if you want to save some money, ok. But Inspired are totally worth the price in terms of comfort and reliability. It can stand out up to 3 years of bashing/highlvl riding.

oh my god, so smooth like it's not a human. Almost no correction hops, great balance.

Want to ride brakeless? Watch flipp's videos and practice alot. That's all. (Maybe you should try other bars (higher) + other bars angle, because you need to keep your front end a bit lower on rear wheel to gain balance.)

Hello, TF. What do you think about the idea? Does it make any sense? I've got an AM hardtail (dartmoor hornet) and want to try some more trialsy stem and bars (for example 70x35+trialtech riser/high rise). And also I've got a 27.5 wheelset, thinking about changing it to 26 for some trialsy/fun moves. I bought this bike with 27.5 wheels, 45mm/0deg stem, some DH 780mm bars and want to build some all-purpose bike to just roll the city/natural with trialsy bits. Kind regards Ninja.

Hello, TF. I'm riding street-trials on my Inspired Fourplay 2011 with non-cut inspired element forks, 90x30 stem and Inspired Arcade bars. Stem is set on the highest point of the steerer tube and I have 40mm of spacers now. With this setup everything bunnyhop-related are extremely easy to do, but I think my bike feels a bit weird.. Today I've tried to set my bars lower by 10mm (30mm of spacers) and I feel like I'm getting more control over a bike, but my bunnyhops turned harder to do and I can't hit my previous highs (95cm). How to choose a right bars height? What I should consider to do the right choice? And how to notice that your bars are too high? Kind regards Ninja.

This insert is pressed into a crank. There are only one thread - for pedal axle. So.. maybe I need to hammer(press) it a bit.
