  1. Becuase I'm a frame whore, and this inspired is the longest I've owned a frame in about 3 years and i need a change.
  2. Bet Danny mac could bunnyhop a Long GU higher than me, doesn't mean its got the perfect geo for it.
  3. Basically what would you really like to see on the new Inspired, which apparently Isn't even in testing yet but i am BUSTING to get my hands on one in a limited edition Simpson Orange spray job I would like to see shorter stays on the inspired, I think the one at the moment has slightly long stays for ultimate bunnyhop and street moves, but I wouldn't like to see derastic changes in the geo as i love it, but some teaks on chainstay lenth would be good and in my opinion improve the ride. I would always chose strength over weight, but I would like them to try and make it a bit lighter because mine does feel like a bit of a tank (although this probaly isn't aided by my set up) I'm undecided on dro pout deisgn, I'm fairly open to what they want to do, I love the thought of horizontal drop outs as i eat tensioners for breakfast but I will get fustrated by chain tension and wheel alignment so I'm undeicded on that front so far. I couldn't care less wether it has a disk brake on it, but for a street rider I can picture people running Avid Juicys 9's and stuff on them which I think would be pretty sweet and stealthy, but I would never run rear disk on a 24" And I think Vee bosses are a good idea, just to make it feel a bit more old school. But still undecided as i love my maggie!!! lol Whats your guys oppinions?
  4. Dammm Tartybikes said it would be a while... I want one. I'll pay to test one TARTY READ THISS!!!!
  5. Not being funny but if its not out in the few months I doubt there will be an Ashon Effect band waggon craze, I don't know about anyone else but over the last month I have been spending to get my 2 bikes ready for summer and have no plans to change any parts, bar an inspired 2 being released.
  6. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Avid_Bal...tor/5360036818/ ??? 160 but if you already have the adaptor it will be fine? You snapped your im guessing? Says something about road, but looks'ish like the old one.
  7. You do nothing just bitch about it
  8. Really hoping that the Inspired 2 is released in time for this
  9. Says a lot man... think you need to step back an be honest with yourself.
  10. Once you have changed 500 gear cables Fixed 10,000 punctures Set up 800 sets of shitty gears Make sure the bells work on every bike you sell When its rainy and nobody wants a bike When you get your pay packet. You will realise that its a crummy job, I lasted 3 weeks working in a bike shop and never went back.
  11. LOL it won't feel ANY different, its a headset not something that affects how your bike ride. I've always just used shitty crappy ones, for £10 a pop if it seizes or goes rough you can buy a new 1, not really a big issue.

    New Frame

    Whats funny about that suggestion in the slightest? IMO its the perfect frame for pure TGS riding.
  13. Eno, had one for 2 years and it was faultless, easly replacable internals means if it breaks it dead simple to fix and not too pricey, ran mine with 2 or 3 pawls for a while and it was fine still. Ultimate freewheel.

    CHIT CHAT not TRIALS CHAT and photography thread is the place to put this. and according to 1 google search £15-£45
  15. Yabbaa if you planning on buying soon, tryed and tested by a lot of the top riders in the UK and no-one seems to have had a problem with them. If it was me i would get a Yabbaa then strip it down and spray it.
  16. Nooo don't do it Luke! The only thing I was going to say I didn't like about the bike was the stem. Whats the geo on that badboy? looks too long and high
  17. yeaaaaaa, same company im guessing then lol
  18. I didn't think Atomz was a company big enough to benifit from any economys of scale... like before this how many frames have they sold in total? Sub 1k?
