Rumplestiltskin Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thats really nice - particularly like what you've done with the stickers at the front end. A pivotal seat and post'll finish that off really well. You might want to get rid of that rear tyre and replace it with something more pinch resistant though. The sidewalls are the flimsiest in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumplestiltskin Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 i ment the fork tube.On a serious note, really don't do that. Inspired's need extremely high front ends. I take it your running the steerer tube at the length it came in the box? Leave it at that height. If you're already running it lower than that, DON'T cut it any further. If you do, it'll handle like a tank and be terrible for manuals - me and Ross McArthur on here both run at least 3.5cm of stackers on ours, and I even run 2.5 azonics on top of that. Danny Mac runs a complete tonne as well (he advised us to in the first place) and it does make the difference between a flickable amazing bike and a bit of an average one.

Luke Rainbird Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Nice dude , would change the rear tyre ripped mine on 1st ride Conversely, I've run those front and rear on all my 24" bikes, totalling about 2/3 years solid running them to death and never had any issuesSweet ride, needs more colour though What gear ratio are you running?Also, to the guy who said it needs a pivotal setup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Rumbleforskin has hit it right on the button man.Slam the seat, get a maxxis tyre, man it up with a 2.7 if you have to, run a high front end and well done with what you have done with the sticker!I dont run a high a front end as Rumbleforskin, his is stupid high! It makes the front end feel really heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I actually don't think the colours are that bad, seen as theres tiny bits of lots of colours it looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Anyone who has problems with DMR moto tyres is running them too soft. They're really good, but need atleast 35-40psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Bars need to be brought way back...Are they Montys? I started with Montys on mine but got rid of them for a set of Deity's which feel great.I'd advise against that tyre on the rear, i have one on the front and puncture it all the time, and i always run high pressures so i wouldn't really imagine they're too great on the rear.Looks good though, sticker idea is nice, shame about the hubs, but the INspired seat will look nice...black or white seat?
