Ben Davies Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) I think this breed of 24'' trials bikes absolutly rule! i really like the look of the inspired frame, and the ashton et24, (does anybody know any shops where i could get an ashton?) i mainly ride streety type trials and reckon one of these little beasts would be the nuts......also if i was to splash out and spend the banks money on one, i would definatly not want a disc.....so what forks would be compatable for a front maggie? i know the ashton forks have 24'' mounts but they are so rare i would have to wait ages for a second hand set to pop up on ebay! all comments and pictures of your 24'' bikes welcome Edited January 27, 2008 by fatboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 To be honest I'd stay clear of the ET. They were ground breaking in their day but were prone to snapping. Any second hand frame you pick up now (or even a new one) will snap sooner rather than later. There are also better options available now, the Inspired being, in my opinion (biased since I own one) is the cream of crop... Forks wise, pass. Just get over your fear and run a disc!!

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 You can run any 26in fork on them so one that has a maggie mount, I have the echo urbans and they rule. Get the inspired they are great at everything from skate park to proper trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shrewsbury Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Clive leeson at leesonbikes.co.uk, i belive they have 1 set of pashley steel forks left. You can get him to put normal mounts on or magura mounts. He would do u a set around £50. just give him a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
