Sponge Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Really like this. I don't throw that around for the majority of things. Looking over the spec, I'd say the Arcade is the first trials complete build that I wouldn't feel any need to change any of the spec'd parts. Great work by Inspired. If I wasn't on a Leeson, and had money then I'd like one. What geometry stem is being specced on this build?... and are those some new models of Inspired rim I spy? Ever since the Tioga rims ran out of stock at Tarty I've been looking to get some rims of similar shape/quality/reliability in 24" rims. Something of at least 35mm wide, undrilled, modest in appearance, but dependable. I hope they'll be available as aftermarket parts. Do these new cranks use ISIS splines, 48 splines, or something lto what Truvativ have for their external BB spindles and cranks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Good question - not too sure about the BB, sorry! From what I can remember, the axle setup is compatible with other 15mm through-axle hubs too. Oh right 15mm through axle is a thing, shows how out of the loop I am with mtb stuff!

Re: Tioga rims - TartyBikes have plenty of them in stock. Cranks are 19mm/48 spline. Oh right 15mm through axle is a thing, shows how out of the loop I am with mtb stuff! Yeah, it was new to me before I got mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp1405 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 So will i be able to use my truvariv crankset from my fourplay on it? And if i use a quick release front hope hub, can i convert it into a 15mm trough axle? Other than that is there any thing else i'll need to change in order to use my old fourplay's parts on the frame kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK92 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Has anyone had any issues hitting there feet on the front tire due to the steep head angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) The bb axle to front wheel axle measurement affects that, not the head angle, the head angle could be 90 deg, but if the wheelbase is still 1000mm it'll make no difference to your feet, the wheel will be in the same place.

dk2 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 No issues...theres lots of room for barspins and x-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK92 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanx! How about the stem that comes with it 90x35 is that the optimal size or or those who currently ride it dropping it back down to a 90x25 or smaller? Ive seen a few rider pics and video and it seems like they dropped the rise a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK92 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Can someone let me know what the effective top tube length is, Center of the seat tube to center of the head tube or at least the top tube length from the seat tube to head tube? Im trying to dial in my stem length for a future Arcade build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp1405 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 70/35 or 90/35 is the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filo Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm using a110x35 stem I found the standard 90x35 to low. Because the complete bike steer tube it's cut down I couldn't get the height I wanted. I really like how the 110mm stem feels on it, I don't think I'd want to go any shorter.

nicolasp1405 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 You have a 110mm stem on an arcade? It seems almost dangerous regarding the head angle steepness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think Allan is a pretty tall dude, nearly 2m IIRC, which may explain it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk2 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 550mm between seattube and headtube, measured alomg toptube. (582mm center to center headtube/seattube) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) As Adam said I'm a tall dude and have long arms. Not 2m tall, 188-190cm(from memory) The longer stem doesn't really make it dangerous. It's just what I need. Have a look at the stem comparison charthttp://yojimg.net/bike/web_tools/stem.php When using the 90x35 vs the 110x35 I gain 13mm reach and 16mm height. Because of my build I find I need a bit more reach then most. Edited January 31, 2014 by Filo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK92 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 What is the fork offset of the Arcade? Tarty has 25mm offset and I believe everyone else has it at 30mm offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Think I measured mine at 30mm before. The prototype ones definitely were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK92 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 that makes sense.....25mm is a pretty shallow when you already have a steep head angle. How about those Arcade Rims...are the a good quality and durable for street??? Im having a hell of a time finding a good 24" 32 hole street rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Quality seems pretty good - Ali mentioned they were really good to lace up which is typically a pretty good sign. Haven't heard any complaints from the people who've got the Arcade full builds too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I highly rate my complete arcade wheels set. Normally complete wheels loosen up quickly and need a few rides for the spokes to settle in a d need a few adjustment. I must say Ali build these right, mine haven even started to come loose, or even look like needing a little nip up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
