Jamowie Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Was wondering if any Hex owners can barspin them ? Looking at getting either a hex or arcade, I know it's doable on the arcade but I'd prefer something with the saddle a little higher to pinch with my legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've seen people barspin Ali's Hex, maaaay have seen James Barton barspin his? If you wear big shoes and have your feet far forwards on the pedals I guess you may run into problems, but realistically that'll be the same on most street trials bikes. If it ever ended up being a big problem you could go for some shorter cranks, or just learn to be a bit more on the balls of your feet on your pedals.

jamesb Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Both are possible to bar, but they are both more difficult to bar than dirt-jumpers or BMX bikes. Not because of the saddle, more so the bar position. I'd say between the 2, the arcade was easier, but it may just be because I spent more time on it.

dk2 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) +1 for the arcade for learning, but the hex will still work. i run my seat slightly higher when doing barspins. For me its the front brake lever that takes the most time to adjust to. Good luck with it...ill upload one here for you to look at.

Jamowie Posted December 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Awesome, thanks for the advice and the video! Still torn between the two! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
