Sorry, I mean 2016... The leverbody is still carbotecture but the brakelever is Alu. Magura offers a 5 year warranty if i'm not mistaken, so no worries there. You can get a set for well under £300 w/o rotors. I've paid around £270 for mine.

2017 mt7's have Alu levers! Padrock is a bit worse than the saints though...

Me at my local skatepark

Me and my buddy went on a little roadtrip to Cologne. He made a little edit, so here it is. I`m on the green Console.

I also thought I would prefer the blue over green. But the green finish is awesome in real life! So are the tweaks Inspired made to the 2015 frame. The 15 axle up front is a nice upgrade as well.

Thnx Ross! My buddy had a 2mm spacer that is working perfect so far. The race face ones seem much wider than that though. Still like to know more crank options that fit without modification.

Any tips on where to get spacers for the axle? I've tried a bike shop and hardware store without succes. A 2mm spacer should do the job I think. Thnx!

Thanks for the photo! I'll see if I can make this work on my console. It has plenty of space on my marino but the console has much wider chainstays.

So your running 3 spacers on the drive side and none on the none drive side? There isn't much thread to go in the frame this way, is there? And then you still have to mod the crank it self. Just looking at my options for a crank that fits with the right amount of spacers on each side and without modification.

I've seen some topics regarding problems fitting a (shimano) mtb crankset to one of the steel Inspireds. Including my slx m665 crankset not fitting my console (granny ring hitting the frame). The Truvativ Hozfeller/howitzer combo works fine but is also quite heavy... So which of the mtb cranksets out there will fit without problems using a 22t/bashring setup? Thnx!

IXS trail rs, not the lightest but very comfy and good protection.

Yes it is.... thanks for bringing this to my attention

Bought a m665 crank to fit on my console but it doesn't fit.. Even with all the spacers on one side the 22t hits the frame. Any suggesties? Or is this setup just a no go?

Thnx! Will try to do some more filming over summer.

Clips from this evening

Brakes are great. Good power en hold. I use to have m810 but prefer the guides. Had a set of guides that were leaking at the pistons after a couple of rides. So fingers crossed these will last. Only looking for a crankset thats a little lighter for the future.

New wheels and sram guides

You have to replace the endcaps on the front hub with some qr ones. Looking forward for the finished product!

I wish my console had a 15mm axle option... New frameset looks good! Like the blue better though.

Ben, what front hub set up are you running? Pro 2 by the looks of it, but no qr? Some custom job? Thnx!

Well worth the money imo! Beste 24" tyre I used.

Mine are leaking at the pistons... Back for warrenty next week. Hope the next set has no issues as I do like them a lot.

After waiting nearly four weeks for my sintered pads to arrive. I've finally fitted the guides on my console. Quite a difference to the m810 I was running. Not as on/off as the saints but the power is definitely there! Lever feel is nice and the hold is as good as the saint. The're also nice and quiet in therms of pad wobble, which is a plus. So far so good!

Looks cool! Wheels are very sexy. Notice the weight difference compared to your old spanks? And back on saints and da bomb bars I see, prefer them over the guides and arcade bar? Not a fan of the seat, good for barspins though.
