ben_travis Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) ...ok its the full build with no major changes, but now you are here you might as well look.... I've added a set of Shimano brakes over the hopes, and since this picture I have made a few massive changes; Aligned the maxxis logo with the inner tube valve Put some pins back in my pedals Lowered my stem a little and tilted the bars further back Rotated my grips Crashed and Scratched the beast a fair bit Either way its easily the nicest set-up I've ridden, feels totally solid and I don't ever have any worries about it breaking. I'd highly recommend it to even more 'trialsy' riders if they are looking to get a streety bike. A massive thanks to the guys at Inspired for the support. I apologise for the pictures taking this long to get online. I didn't manage to get to the spot I wanted to take some pictures at so thought I'd get one up ASAP.

Shark Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've added a set of Shimano brakes over the hopes Is there some special reason why you prefer Shimano brakes to the Hope ones? I'm just curious. The bike looks stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 As Jeremy Clarkson would say....POWWWWWWWWWEEERRRRRRRR. oh and hold... and mainly because hopes have ripped my legs to shreds in the past with sharp edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 What flavour Shimano brakes are they? My eyes are failing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 SLX levers, Saint calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Of course they are, silly me. Part of me was hoping they were something cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 You could try the Zee M640's Sam....if you don't mind the newer style lever...they are 4-pot as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah I might give them a go, my Hopes have upset me far too much, I just can't take it anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
