Themistoklidis Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Here's another brakeless 4play(sorry for hugeness,couldn't find out how to resize the pictures!):I'm running 17/13 on some 170mm echo cranks at the moment,which is feels nice but the crank arms flex waaaay too much!I'm thinking of getting an mtb crankset with an external bb,something like shimano XT,any recomendations on other cranksets?Anyway,spec:Inspired Fourplay '11 frame with Inspired Element ForksTrialtech bars/stem/front wheel with maxxis holly roller tyreHope pro2evoT(gusset 13t sprocket) laced to an old onza zoot rear rim with DMR motoRT tyreEcho TR crankset with trialtech 17t cogRohloff sprung tensionerFederal bmx saddle and some nukeproof electron(plastic) pedals Edited December 5, 2013 by BikeTrialsInGreece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 truvativ holzfeller trials,serve me well since 3 years and no signs of giving up.comes completely in 22t with bash. youll need an howitzer bb with 148mm axle nice bike btw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yeah try and blag the truvativ cranks and bb off a full build Inspired, that's what I did. Then if you file a tiny bit out the dropout (literally 1-2mm) you can run 22-15 without needing a tensioner! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themistoklidis Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks for your replys!The truvativ trials seems very good,(though i cant find it anywhere online for purchase)but other truvativ models combined with a bb match the price to the XT,which seems better due to the through axel like setup rather than isis like on the truvativs.Although grabbing it second hand from a complete build would be awesome!22/15 sounds too hard too,i was thinking more like 22/16-17!*isitafox im still switching up stems to find which one feels better(yours or the 90x35 on the pic) hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themistoklidis Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Woah,bargain indeed!I think i will pull the triger on the truvativs when i get the money together!They look quite beefy.Thanks for the info man!Last question,should i switch to 175mm due to the harder ratio or the difference will be marginal?Thanks again for your replys!
