ooo Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 will this be more easily nose manualable then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Mark- Can you tell me are the cranks 48spline or Isis style? Is the pivotal post welded in the frame? So the seat tube is one piece with the pivotal bit welded on? I was thinking about the new Skye, I think I can wait for this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) will this be more easily nose manualable then ? Yes. The forks are way straighter than anything else out there, less offset = lower balance point = easier front wheel fun.

alanczik Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 the Arcade graphics, and the Inspired 3-piece cranks (matte black w/gloss black Inspired logos) and one-piece CNC-machined bashring/sprocket combo. The bike also has custom matte black w/gloss black graphic Inspired Team pedals. The bike also features a brand new Inspired BB setup. The V2 model featured a BMX-style, press-fit Mid BB setup, but to make things as accessible as possible for people buying the frame kit the production model features a traditional MTB-style BB. However, Inspired have made a new BB with external bearings that use the same Spanish BB bearings as BMXs, so they'll be super tough but also pretty light! i wanted to use bmx cranks years ago but could never find a 22 sprocket with a bash ring.. so thats a totally new thing! and a great news (so whats next?... a cromo 26 hex? ! :$ ? !)

CurtisRider Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 You didn't look hard enough, DMR made a bash that accepted 5 bolt rings, and you could buy spiders for 3 piece cranks too! I have one of each on my 2 bikes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yep, ran one of those for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Doodar Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 So now that the Arcade is out. Dannys new Skye is done. Matty Turners mini me bike is nearly out. Whats the next step for Inspired? I hope its concentrating on the man, the legend... Love the arcade. May have to get saving my pennies. The main thing I'm interested in though is the Marty turner mini street bike. My 5 year old lad has started to gain an interest in bike tricks and stunts now, if I ever find a good edit ill show him and he thinks its so cool doing stunts on a bike. Is the Marty turner bike going ahead then? I'd be interested in price on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Doodar Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Jumping Jesus Christ I've never seen anybody go so big on a trials bike!! Is he still alive and riding or has he jumped to his death by now? That's some impressive riding!! Will be getting the boy a full face helmet after watching those 2 crashes!!

isitafox Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Also in with the 3 piece DMR malarky! Mark do you know what the frame kit will come with? Purely frame and forks or will the headset be in with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicolasp1405 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 No its only frame and fork, nothing else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 will this be more easily nose manualable then ? From experience, very much so compared to any other 24 I've ridden. Yes. The forks are way straighter than anything else out there, less offset = lower balance point = easier front wheel fun. The offset is actually the same as the newer gen Team forks as far as I can remember - those with the steep head angle do the trick. Also in with the 3 piece DMR malarky! Mark do you know what the frame kit will come with? Purely frame and forks or will the headset be in with it? Like Nicolas said, I believe it's just frame and fork. Things might change though!

LEON Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) The offset is actually the same as the newer gen Team forks as far as I can remember - those with the steep head angle do the trick. Well played, but there is no way they are 30mm offset. Edited August 30, 2013 by LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm pretty sure they are, or at least 30mm was what had been talked about originally (which is what led to the change in the Team forks). The pair I've got have got a greater taper in the fork leg so they look like they're about -5mm... EDIT: Yeah, mine are 30mm and I don't think they've been changed for production.

clerictgm Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Why buy Arcade, when you can order same frameset from Marino twice (or maybe three times cheaper) with the same reliability, with the same cool look (better than alu FAT frames) and also with some options + you may change geo + if you ordering 2-3+ frames it will cost pretty cheaper?

isitafox Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Because when I ring Tarty to order my frame, depending on what time I call them, I can pretty much guarantee it'll be on my doorstep the next day and should there be any problems with it (though I doubt it) it'd be a piece of piss to get rectified. Come on Arcade, daddys got a set of wheels and drivetrain waiting for you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't. You're paying for quality and reliability (both in frame and customer service). I don't want this to turn into a sales pitch but the Arcade has been in testing for over a year to make sure it's worthy to sell. I'm sure Marino is making lovely frames these days but they still won't be at the same quality. You get what you pay for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I chose a Marino knowing that I'd want one of these as soon as they came out. I wasn't wrong. It's all in the details. You cannot buy this frame from Marino. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
