For All Inspired Riders, What Do You Want To See.

[Matthew62]

I'd love it to have the opertunity to run the mech hanger on the left. So perhaps two of the same dropout with one blank and one hanger supplied with each frame. I'd give anything to run a left-hand drive side. Then trialtech could make some reverse thread cranks then there would be no problem.

It's a lot to ask, but i'd love it. Honestly though, i love my Inspired and enjoy riding it so much i wouldn't change the geo - i wouldn;;t know where to begin improving it!

Gives you a problem with freehubs and BB's though?

a 26" version clearly! possibly in steel too!

Where do you get a left hand mech/tensioner?

i can flip my cassette pawls to work on the left so its possible, the bottom bracket could/would work loose but id keep an eye on that problem

only problem could be the chainline could be slightly out

Where do you get a left hand mech/tensioner?

hence the horizontal dropouts to pull the chain back

Very much so

26" version! The market is currently missing a modern 26" street trials bike.

I find the current geometry very good actually. Just have to get used to it.

As for brake mounts, I honestly think it would be very ugly having all 3 brake mounts in one. The round tubings on the Inspired makes it look clean all round, having the just the maggy mount makes it look right. Disc tabs would surely be a welcomed change of pace, but i'm neutral on that.

As for dropouts, I'm aware you guys know it's slightly angled?

I run 18:14 and I'm not using a tensioner. I know this sounds quite silly, but my hub isn't bolted at the end of the dropouts, but about 1mm off it. I'm treating the angled dropout like a "horizontal dropout". According to my friend, who's one of the most experienced bike mechanic and also one of the oldest trials rider at my side, there wouldn't be much of a compromise to the integrity of the dropout/frame. So it's perfectly alright, just as long as you don't over-exceed the limit and cause the wheel to dislodge from the dropout while riding, that'll be nasty.

So, this angled dropout is actually very good, compared to a straight-on vertical one. Reduces the chances of the wheel dislodging too. (Haven't heard of such cases, but it's still a good design.)

But having a Lesson 360 style dropout will be awesome.

There is the yaabaa 1299. Haha.

Haven't seen anyone riding it yet though.

I wanted to get it because it looked so cool and put my 26" wheels in, but don't want duel disc...

In for the 26" version of this. Would like a more modern trials bike that isnt alien and can run a seat.
