  2. Inspired Element 26" Build Thread

    in Bike Pictures

    Posted

    Evening,

    So despite doing more MTB these days, I couldn't resist the idea of a street trials 26". Also going to try and fun a few gears using an MTB rear mech with a clutch. Will post pics as I go along but here's the frame of choice!

    Big thanks to 'Cyder Man' for quick delivery.

    Cheers for all the comments guys.

    Definitely rides how I want it to! :)

    In regards to the forks. . I may look to change them at a later date as they came straight of the GU, but for now seem to ride ok.

    Also stem height is limited by my steerer length at the moment which I thought might be a bit low but again, rides spot on so not sure if I would want to change it.

  18. Stripping Paint On Rims

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Evening,

    Tomorrow I have a day off so Im going to get on and strip the paint off my rims/retape. What is the best way to do it? I've been told to use Nitromorse but is there a laquer or something you should use after?

    And what other rim tape substitutes do people use?

    Cheers,

    Ben
