monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 It's coming up towards a year old so I thought I'd take some pics while the sun was out. Only changes from stock are the Rohloff tensioner, Eclat Gonzo seat and Hope barends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Is this the same as the camo one or did you swap out for the new model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the white/blue/camo one was swapped for the 2011 model late last year... couldn't resist when the dual disc bikes came out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I truly suck at getting videos out! Meant to do something over the Summer but that never happened for various reasons... Apart from some little clips that Dan Jones has captured I haven't managed to get any footage together on the 2011 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 "Still going strong"?! Pah, it's quite clearly falling apart from the state of it in those pictures, Dave. Send it down and I'll save you the horror of having to be on it when it finally gives way (which will be very soon of course...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send it down and I'll save you the horror of having to be on it when it finally gives way (which will be very soon of course...) Haha, I know I know! I guess a more appropriate title would be along the lines of 'just checking in'... The old Mk1 was 'still going strong' after about 3 years of abuse- I think this bike will probably outlive my ability to physically ride to be honest!

stuie Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Joys of being so good and so smooth Dave, you have never fallen off or hit anything hard enuff to brake your bike in all the times I have riden with you. The frames are so strong like BMX frames being as smooth as you are, if you keep that set up I do believe it would out live you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Looks lovely. I'd love to run a rear disc on my Inspired but unfortunately I have the MK I. Is there a functional reason that you run your rotors the opposite way then advised? How does the Hope perform as a rear brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Is there a functional reason that you run your rotors the opposite way then advised? How does the Hope perform as a rear brake? Aha... yeah... I'd never even noticed!! :$ Good point, well made! The Hope (even with the rotor the wrong way round) works really well on the back. With the 180mm rotors the front is almost too powerful sometimes compared to what I used to run but the rear is spot on- plenty of modulation for manuals but full on bite when you need it. *scurries off to the garage to switch the rotors round* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Yeah i've got a 180 on the front of my Inspired and just love dual disc. I appreciate why Maguras are good for trials but i ride all sorts of bikes and just like the set-up of dual discs and think one on the back of my Inspired would compliment my riding much more than a HS33. If anything is it actually worth having the back disc on the wrong way to help prevent the rear wheel slipping from backward forces? Or is that just a ridiculous idea?
