Stan Shaw's Inspired

Recommended Posts

Stan decided to go down the win path and opted for some Halfords Satin Black, an Inspired 23t bash and a Trialtech 23t sprocket. I heartily approve. Photos of Stan's bike as it was earlier on today, just before filming a bunch of clips at Liverpool...

If any other bike company happen to make a 24" frame that's anywhere close to being as good as an Inspired then I'm sure more people will start buying other frames, but at the moment no-one does so an Inspired is usually a safe bet. Stan's also been riding that frame for about 4 months or so now so it's not a case of him just getting one...

Sorry forgot to mention i have never had a go of an inspired so i cannot judge how nice they are too ride.

Other thing why ruin a bike by taking the brakes off? I know brakeless is fun but just keep the brake on and not touch it? Sorry if this is stupid, im retarded lol ( not really obvioisly).

And yeah i know stan has been using the bike before, what tarty staff dont have inspireds? :P

50% do, 50% don't.

Being brakeless and having brakes but not using them are 2 totally different things.

Speaking personally, I've been riding/involved in trials for almost as long as you've been alive, and it's something fun and different to try. After a while, just trying to do things a little higher/further/longer gets pretty boring, whereas there's so much more you can do brakeless to make things interesting. You learn new things all the time, it's so good!

Kind of the same as skateboarders skating switch. It seems pointless to a lot of people, but is VERY rewarding?
