TokyoTrials Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Finally treated myself by building a custom Inspired Hex after 2 years with no decent bike. Spec includes: Inspired Hex Frame. Inspired Element forks (Tartybikes were out of stock of the team forks for months!) More or less the same fork anyway. Chris King Rasta Voce headset. Carbon Fiber headset spacers. Thomson Elite X4 stem - 90mm 10 degree rise Trial Tech High Riser bars. Hope Tech M4 Special Edition front disc brake with 203mm floating rotor. Magura HS33 Trials Edition rear rim brake with Trial Tech booster. Hope Pro 2 hubs(Trials rear) on Mavic X721 Rims(DT Swiss Spokes). I've sanded and polished the rear rim as the black coating wore off within days. Looked awful half black half half silver. Mavic really need to improve the wear of their rim paint if they want them to stay black. Nice and shiny silver now though:) Shimano Saint Cranks with 22 tooth chainring. Trial Tech 16 tooth rear cog - perfect street riding gear ratio - 22-16 Echo Platform Pedals. Kenda K-Rad 2.3 Tyres. Rohloff Chain Device. KMC Kool 1/8 Chain. BMX seat and post. Axo seat clamp. Hope front skewer. Nice long, thin grips. Cost around £1900 to build up. Edited August 27, 2012 by TokyoTrials 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 that's quite a nice steed you have there sir. like the front brake, although a floating disk wouldn't be my first choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoTrials Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 that's quite a nice steed you have there sir. like the front brake, although a floating disk wouldn't be my first choice Thanks mate. Yeah, the front disc I got cheap as a job lot offer off an ex-display bike. I'm not too fond of the floating rotor either - bit overkill. I'll be getting a standard one later on.

Endohopper Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 That looks glorious, a new pristine bike is always so full of promise . Love the Dreadset and your choice to avoid absurdly wide trials rims . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm not too fond of the floating rotor either - bit overkill. I'll be getting a standard one later on. I dont think its "overkill", its just that it wobbles a bit, so for trials its not too great - more so on a rear wheel. Great looking bike and well taken pictures.
