Reinis. Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I like to do trials stuff, like sidehops, gaps and others, but recently I have understood, that I like to do 180's and 360's, too, and other streety moves. Yeah, I know that there isn't a bike on which you can do all, but I want to know, that if I get the inspired, would I still be able to do sidehops and gaps? I want to do the trials stuff and streety stuff, too. Would it be a lot harder to ride trials on inspired? And how much easier would it be, to ride street on inspired, than my long Zoo pitbull (with 120mm low rise stem and flat bars)? I need you to tell me, the difference between my zoo and inspired.Hope you get what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Feedback from our customers indicates that the Inspired is still really good for 'real' trials, especially with a slightly longer stem. You can see Ali riding here and he still makes 1.35m hook really easily:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rm-HcE54k4kYou can see some pretty huge trials moves from Dave Marshall here too:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=92rMlZfmkJE&...feature=relatedHope that helps!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleageman Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) My goodness! I've never seen the like.As a complete novice, i've been debating the purchase of a 20" mod, 26" stock or the rarely discussed 24" recently. Upon watching the extraordinary feats of the riders in the the 'youtube videos', am i witnessing the birth of a new style of Trials? Hence 24" Trials?I may quickly have to revise my letter to Santa!By the way. Where can I purchase some of those anti-gravity wheels? Or are they simply, helium filled innertubes?middleageman.

Whizza Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Dude, I ended up riding "trials" better on it than my 20". It's just a super comfortable bike for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 ive got an onza zoot....pretty similar geo to the inspired and i quite like it, i mean i prefer my zenith for "pure" trials....mainly for the length and backwheel stability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I think it turns out that it IS possible, but because helium is really small for a particle (the second smallest), it has a habit of escaping where air can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 There ws that BMXer who had helium filled inner tubes to save weightI want an inspired, one day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) I think your sarcasm detector's broken, Luke Well, I'm gullible so there. But would it actually work with helium in the tyres? It must reduce a little bit?I want an inspired, one day...Agreed. I just like the look.

middleageman Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Regarding the helium debate, sorry, I was just kidding! But hey, you never know!Was the BMXer Elliot, from the film ET?But seriously, what about other lighter than air gases?Hydrogen maybe......?..... oh no, wait.... i've just remembered what happened to the Hindenburg Zeppelin!!!

It'll limit you a little.thought about having 2 bikes? Zoo! and Inspired... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinis. Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I really would like to have two bikes but then I would get my inspired only in summer or so, because I don't have money now. I my language there are more commas than I wrote in my text. I know that in english there are less, but I don't know where to put them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll limit you a little.thought about having 2 bikes? Zoo! and Inspired...Thats exactly what I have. I've had an inspired for about a year and am nearly finished building up an old zoo. The inspired will be my main bike as i mostly ride street and the zoo will be for natural. I do find the inspired a bit harder to sidehop and gap than a longer bike but then I am 6'5" If you have the opportunity, try one before you buy one. The Inspired really does feel awesome to ride; It feels really maneuverable and flicky without being twitchy like a mod. If you watch how people ride them in videos, they are all about flow rather than static moves and hopping.

Jitters Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Haha, Helium in tyres?Don't think it will work with the usual suspects for valves and innertubes, but here's everyone's chance at an instant retirement plan with zillions of pounds to burn. I'd look into inventing, but I have a beer to finish first.OK,321GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yes, well, it goes like this:Make a valve for the tube that can hold helium in.I win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd look into inventing, but I have a beer to finish first.I really don't think you're the first person to think of that! It's been done, you don't need anything special (except the helium, obviously). But apparently it leaks out much faster than air so you need to refill the tyre every day or so. For the 0.5g (guess) it saves I'm sure it's not worth the hassle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the 3 of them but some times I wish I didnt have the choice. lolWell, only reason I'm planning on building a 24 is cause I would like something easier to get around town( gears and seat) can ride trials and BMX on, and have something I can ride all the time, but I honestly can't see my riding the 24 in comps so I'd like to keep my mod.
