Sure you can re-use the existing headset but my point is that the Arcade comes with one, and with some nice tensioners. Not some cheap ebay units.
I think 599 is a fair price compaired to the premium Arcade. But I think it should come with a headset for that price.
599 it is. But you still need chain tensioners and a headset which are included with the arcade frameset. So that takes the price up to 650 ish with a cheap headset.
And if you would like to use the parts of another Inspired (like me) you also have to buy a seatpost. Due to the different diameter. So much for being cheaper than the arcade...
810 calipers have the same problem. I tried different solutions to fix this problem (tape, sanding back of the pads, different pads) but nothing really helps. I guess I'll have the live with it. The power they deliver is amazing though!
How much heavier are they compared to holyrollers. only 30gr or more like 100gr as tarty suggest?
Would love to try a pair when my holy rollers are worn out.
And with two Danny mac tyres beeing just as expensive as one tyre for my car I can give them a try
Any other fix for knocking pads? I've sand them with no result, tried different pads with no result. Could there be a difference in the backing of organics or matallics?
This is what I'm talking about:

As with anything, keep practicing. You will not learn them over a day.
When you got the feel for them you can try bunny to manual on a curb and work your way up from there.
Bent your knee`s and don`t stand up to much. That way you can kick out yout legs when you tend to drop the front wheel and bent them a little more when you fall backwards.
A decent rear brake will help you aswell while learning them.
Good luck
That's true. Geo is a bit different though. Arcade bars have more backsweep and less upsweep than the tactic bars. Anyway I feel like high bars give me much more control than the inspired bar I had before.
Adapters are +20. It looks to me the rotor doesn't go all the way in the caliper and it could drop an extra 1 or 2mm to sit perfect. Strangely the front is much beter. Also the rear pads rock in the caliper which annoys me. Ordered some new pads which hopefully fix the problem.
Doesn`t seem to fit perfect. Caliper should drop a mm or two for the disk to have full contact with the pads. Of course I've removed all the avid washers, so that`s not the problem. Can I fix this using shimano adapters? I use avid 180mm rotors but I guess that`s fine?
