Nigel Kilgar Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) OK so this is my inspired pro 2012 bike things i have changed are: powder coated frame gloss white dmr moto 2.4 tyres as the maxis ones are rats trialstech cranks and bb because bash and echo sl ffw 18-12 gearing no tension is perfect bonz high rise bars and odi long necks with flanges i also upgraded the brakes from avid elixir 5's to shimano saints but due to the rear one having a leaky lever im riding brake less till its back from shimano on warranty I know im going to get slated about the front free wheel but i ride skate parks and street and natural and its perfect for all don't really notice it when doing manuals or flowing hips and bowls Edited November 15, 2012 by Nigel Kilgar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nice paint job! Cut the flaps off the grips. Maxxis...rats..... what don't you like about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Kilgar Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 ive ridden flanges on bmx for 4+ years best things since sliced bread when doing turn downs lookbacks and such just feel more in control and dmr motos just feel stiffer and have more surface area contacting the floor miles better for park and street holy rollers seem more dirt jump and street when i rode bmx people ran holy rollers never could feel confident with them ran odyssey dirt paths instead mile better contact area bit like the moto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I prefer Motos to the maxxis too. Better for puncture protection imo. It's "Trial Tech", not "Trials Tech"....Sorry but when I see it like that it annoys me, every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big flat blocks on the Holy Rollers seem to make it more like a slick, whereas the smaller blocks on the Moto RTs make them more like a 'normal' tyre. If I was riding more natural stuff I think I'd probably go for the DMRs, but yeah, for street I much prefer the Holy Rollers just because they seem to roll a lot better. EDIT: Forgot to mention, but the bike looks sweet. Like the flanges too - if I could find grips I liked with flanges, I'd be all over them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Forgive me for being stupid, but what's the twist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Forgive me for being stupid, but what's the twist? The front freewheel, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Didn't notice that front freewheel at first glance. Rare thing to see that on an street trials bike. Edited November 14, 2012 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 So, Mr. Hopps' Inspired is one with "a twist" for running a front freewheel? And cocky? I thought it was another normal alternate option..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 He was a member years ago. OK, I'll rephrase: I don't remember everyone ever loving sensationalised, false claims on here Misleading title to get views got views. Can't then be pissed off that people got a bit perplexed by the misleading title. I think it'd have got just as many views by just saying 'Powdercoated White Brakeless Fourplay' or something, and then people would have just been talking about that instead of bickering... But I digress... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he joined a year ago or 10, he's talking about the 'good old days' as if people wouldn't have asked what the 'twist' was back then. They would have, I remember because I was here too - except I've kept the same account so it's easily proved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 It's kind of a silly thing to prove really. This debate kind of proves his point. I agree though that having a ffw isn't really a twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I just didnt see the twist. I wasn't trying to be clever, I just said my peice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
