CroTrials Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I need your opinion on the following..How much harder is it to ride tgs with a inspired fourplay (90mm stem) then with a stock tgs bike, and why?And if someone could please explain me this difference in bike geometry. Also if you could please recommend me the changes in order to make my inspired as much tgs as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 If you want to make your fourplay into a TGS bike, start by buying one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CroTrials Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I see what you mean.. What about a marino frame? Is the one damon rode a tgs 24' frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why do you need a tiny frame for drop gaps? You may be different but when I do a drop gap I don't go anywhere near the seat.Pop a longer stem on the inspired and that will make it more TGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CroTrials Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 It can't be compared with real tgs bikes no matter what changes i make, I'm aware of that.. I had a 12cm stem a few months ago, but everyone told me to get rid of it.. What size do you recommend? And should i put spacers underneath the stem or not? Thanks allot for the answers ! You've helped allot really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
