This thread made me realize how much money i waste on pants..Guess i could get two-three Kings for the amount of money i have used on pants I'm getting a king on my next bike

Haha, Loved it!

No, not really.. i had Trialtech 38mm rims on before, so the 37mm front rim does not feel any different! When it comes to strenght i guess the front rim is strong enough aswell. Since im only fooling about brakeless

I have just bought pretty light parts all over.Cutting off wire tabs, brake mounts and blasting the frame and fork saved alot. aand i have a Echo TR frontrim at the rear! Dont need a heavy , wide doublewalled rim The Tyres are Schwalbe Tabletop 2.25 Wire..They are okey, abit to light to use for trials, exept as a front tyre.. Works fine for chilling around brakeless

http://www.trials-uk.co.uk/product.aspx?productid=2507 Would be fun to try soo many EP's at the rear

System Ex. 30deg * 90mm

Strip it!

Its a Odyssey Senior2 plastic! All the Bmx'ers hate it, too small I have a pretty wide Ultegra 11t cog..But afraid that it won't have enough grip in its teeth and slip

yeah, i'm going to order a 12t cog..might try to find a 11t aswell Took it for a testride in the rain..Feels soo god compared to when it weighed 10.7kg

16:13 Feels nice for trials though.. Ordered wrong from tarty, was going to order 12 and 13, but i ordered 13 and 14 instead and i have bought two used 74kingz that is on its way.

Same here..the atmosphere is so relaxed and that everyone is smooth

The seat is at its highest now! tiiiny wedge seatpost The handlebars are to high for trials, but its really fun for spins and manuals! Going to change to a Onza 85mm*20deg stem and take of 5mm of stackers

Hey Got some new parts from tarty today. While waiting for those parts i cut all unnesasary things of the frame and fork and got them blasted Waiting for a used 74kingz tensioner..but other than that its perfect!

Perfect!

The born does not feel long at all, because of the really slack headangle. The wheelbase tricks you to think its a long bike, its the reach you really should look at Altough, had a go on a Slate 1 and a Slate 2, and they feel nicer. Lower bb suits me better.

Spec: Frame: Born Ultimatum Fork: Neon Curved blade, i have cutted off the disc brake mount. Frontwheel: Echo TR hub/w Ti screws, Sapim spokes, Stans ZTR 355 rim Rearwheel: Because screw on hub, Sapim spokes, Trialtech SL Crank: Rocman 175mm Bottombracket: Reset Ti with Echo Alu bolts Bashring: Trialtech Halfring Alu Freewheel: Echo Ti Pedals: Echo SL Ti Frontbrake: Avid SD SL with ti bolts, Nokon Alu wire, Some Tnn v-pads Rearbrake: Magura Hs33, Echo TR brakeclamps, Echo SL lever, Tnn Coust Pads Reartyre: Continental mountainking Supersonic Frontyre: Schwalbe Furious Fred Tubes: Continental supersonic Stem: Trialtech Forged High Rise Handlebar: Born Carbonfibre Headset: Neon with alloy screw, carbon spacers Grips: Trialtech Foam Chain: Trialtech light Would guess this spec as listed would weigh close too 7500g...Might build it up with the light tyres just to weigh it again. Its not really usable with the light tyres and tubeless at front..( Mountain king supersonic and furious fred) Good for sidehops..thats all So at it is now, the updated version at 8070g is the lightest the bike can be, and still be rideable! Could save some small grams on hubs, rear rim, rear brake, stem, tryall crankarms .. without the bike getting any worse.. Probably 100g or so there. I have found out that a bike that weigh 8.4-8.8 is perfect, when thinking about riding the thing Everyone that have tried my bike says " Oh, fook, is this thing really rideable?" at first..then "Hate the frontbrake..."

i have finaly realized that my first tyres was shite..So i have mounted some beefier ones..The bike weigh 8070g now. Washed my bike today, going to put it in my room. Because its minus degrees now outside in the nights now.. Going to use my Inspired from now on when i get my parts from tarty! Ti cog rear Ti freewheel...(allready started to skip ) Echo SL lever.. Echo Sl ti pedals..Really lovely size and grip..Let's see how long they last! A little picture of my Inspired as it stands now..Cant wait to get it built up again!

I felt big difference from 170mm arms and 175mm on my (brakeless)Inspired.. the 175mm arms gave much more power, and was really nice when i was riding trials. The 170mm arms was alot easier to pedal fast with, felt like i could pedal at a lot higher rpm.. This was nice when riding park and street Would choose 175mm arms though

Does the gigapipe tool fit the Middleburn lockring?

The inspired.. Looks better, is alot lighter, the gearing is better suited for streettrials, and you have the oppurtunity to put on a long stem and ride "real" trials.

Trialtechs are the best. Tryall and Viz are thinner and the foam are harder. Montys are even thinner, but as soft as the Trialtech..This means very low lifetime, lasted me 3-4 rides.

2 finger, and they are absolute shit...Give you blister after 5min ride...Go for some of the normal levers!

Really fun to watch! Very impressed at the nose manuals!

Hello! Does anyone know anything about this Born 24" frame? Geo? Weight? The Born homepage ? Thanks!

Heh, jea..Making my Inspired 1500g lighter Going to make a bike check later when i get the parts..Think im going for black or stripped frame Have had my Inspired for two months now, But had a Urban fork on with cut steerer, which was waay too low..So when you guys sent me a wrong fork for my Born, i ordered a new one, and mounted "the wrong" fork on the inspired. And now the bike is awsome!
