Looks like you had a fun ride on the tms silex! Almost as much fun as you were having building it! Stoked to see that new torque wrench getting a workout.
Thanks JBank! So stoked to finally see this bike in person - and to have a new bike to test. I couldn't be more excited for this Steel Bike Showdown...this will be fun!
Still looking forward to the full riding review on this. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive so I can get back into trials after about 15 years away from it, fingers crossed it'll be here this week, if not, next week. Please take it to a pile of rocks as I'd like to try a comp at some point on mine as not really in a position to own multiple bikes. Keep it up, thanks.
Just found your channel watched this video last night and bought THIS bike just now from your review and the Trials Super Store. Totally Stoked!! Thanks for your great content and tech. Subbed from this video as well!
@@deostryker8383 Strange - I'll look in the warehouse. They should still be on the axle bolts (they are pretty small) - but I'll look again to see if they dropped out somehow.
@@SuperRiderTV keep up your awesome content. Not only do you make good videos and important informative videos they are also fun, interesting and engaging to watch
This is also a great explanation for beginners for how a lot of parts on the bike work. I’m very interested in seeing a long term review of these steel bikes, especially how strong the components are. Any chance you’d bring them to Bentonville?
Wait until you see the color on the next bike I'm unboxing...it is plenty bright! :) Anxious to truly ride this bike and get a better feel for it - so far, so good!
It would be cool to see a longer term review. I had one as my first bike and the paint started flaking really quick. Id like to know whether this is a normal issue or just me. Other than that it served me well for 2 years.
For sure - anxious to properly ride this bike and get comfortable on it. I'll keep an eye on the paint, although this bike is just clear coated, so it may not happen at all. Will keep you posted!
I’m tempted to get the 26” Silex or the Hex for trials and some mtb technique stuff. Thoughts? The Silex looks sooo good and as an old (OLD) skool freestyle bmx guy the crmo frame gives me a fuzzy feeling 😊
True - but when your name is on it, you're extra responsible for how well it works. I think it's a bold move, it means that you trust the quality of that part more than just spec. What do you think?
@@SuperRiderTV quite often the spec you want isn’t available or in the configuration appropriate for the complete build (from talking to a friend with an mtb co.). The logos are a bit distracting when the backbone of the industry is reliable manufacturers overseas. I prefer matching components but that gave me reservations about something as practical as swapping a carbon bar for lowering my stem and substituting a different alloy riser.
Honestly, someone bought this bike two weeks after I posted this video. I only got to ride it for a little while. It's hard to have a trials bike company, anywhere in the world, so I have a lot of respect for the effort.
@@SuperRiderTV by chance do you remember having the same feeling as the arcade? I'm looking for a steel street and the silex is much cheaper than the arcade so I wonder if I should buy the silex. If you remember the feeling between those 2 steel bike or if you hear anything I'd be happy. Thx a lot
@@jeanguy977 Very similar. The spec on the TMS was slightly different, and I think it felt a little bit shorter and steeper. I still had a great time on the bike, though. I don't think it was too noticeable of a difference.
Inspired makes a great bike, but I agree that they are overhyped and overpriced. They spend a lot of $$ on marketing. This TMS is a bit heavier than the Aluminum 4play. I love the TMS he just got.
I'm pumped on this bike, for sure. I think Inspired deserves the credit for blazing a trail for other trials manufacturers to follow - especially for street trials. That said, I'm happy to see other brands coming in to the space, with legit offerings that are on the same level as Inspired. The more, the merrier!
Ah, that was my dream bike for years! They were expensive and hard to get in the USA at the time...I wanted one so bad. Eddie Tongue was one of my favorite riders at the time, I would've been so psyched to have had that bike.
@@SuperRiderTV this steel bike will open a lot of opportunities because you can just weld on to them I have a pashley 26 MHz and the guy who had it before me has made a lot of welds onto it this will be beneficial for you if you can weld.
Thanks so much! I did roll around on it for a while before the pedal kicks began - but didn't want to push it too hard on the first ride. After rolling on it, I don't know how many pedal kicks I'll do - it seems like rolling moves will be the best way to utilize this bike/geometry.
Amazing to see the difference between these two 24" trials bikes - I didn't think it would be such a variation. Will be curious to see where the Arcade lands, though - that's next!
good job Super Rider
Thank you!!
Looks like you had a fun ride on the tms silex!
Almost as much fun as you were having building it!
Stoked to see that new torque wrench getting a workout.
That was a fun (and easy!) one to build, for sure! Glad to finally have my hands on a proper torque wrench - no bar slips on the first ride!
Your excitement and enthusiasm in this video is just so great. You can really feel how much fun you are having.

Thanks! Just waiting on some better weather so I can test it at a bunch of spots...hopefully sooner than later!
Wow!!¡! That's a dream!!!!! What an amazing bike..... Waiting to see videos of you riding it more and more..... Ride Safe!!!!!!
Thanks so much! Excited to spend some more time with this bike - off to a great start!

Stoked!! Thanks for watching and enjoy this bike! It's a good one!
The pull bolts for the chain tensioners weren't in the box. I can't lock the rear wheel in place.

That was a great video, Aaron. Good to see that you are really enjoying yourself. I can't wait to see how the TMS stacks up in the comparison test.
Thanks Martin! So much fun putting these bikes together - can't wait to get some time on this one!
The best trial content creator ever!!! 👌 ❣️😜
Thank you! That means a lot! 🙏

Very good job ! thank for all you are amazing !
Thank you!! :)

Thanks! Not sure I'd bring this one to Bentonville...but it's possible? Ideally I'll have a TMS comp bike for that trip...fingers crossed!
Love the clear black finish. Looks short like a bmx, I'd need a 200mm stem :)
Spot on - it feels like a BMX in many ways, but somehow slightly more stable. Anxious to get some more time riding it!
Wow this is cool. Last time it was carbon and this time steel. The color could be a little bit louder, though. Can't wait to hear the impression.
Wait until you see the color on the next bike I'm unboxing...it is plenty bright! :)
Anxious to truly ride this bike and get a better feel for it - so far, so good!
Awesome bike and a great video. We must be neighbors...Bridgeport. To funny.
Thank you! Yeah, you're in Oregon? Let me know if you ever want to ride!

Great call for sure! Especially with that BMX background, I think you’ll feel surprisingly comfortable on the Silex!
As a brand you can pretty much spec your components from the supplier with logo or decals and it’s all made in the same factory in Taiwan

Do you think you’ll ever get a jitsie hybrid?
Definitely on my list of bikes to test out - it sounds like a good mix between both riding styles, anxious to see how it rides!
One year later what are your thoughts? I'm curious bcz in France there are a lot of criticism about TMS bike... thanks a lot

Great choice, TMS bikes are way better than overrated Inspired.

Bit harsh?

why didn't you get a pashly 26mhz?
Why ?

Soyo grips! So much pain those things caused.
Right?! Haha
🔥 Awesome new bike! Great vid.
Did you break in freewheel before pedal kicks?
Thanks so much! I did roll around on it for a while before the pedal kicks began - but didn't want to push it too hard on the first ride. After rolling on it, I don't know how many pedal kicks I'll do - it seems like rolling moves will be the best way to utilize this bike/geometry.
Tell me what your opinion about Titan racing Is it a professional bike
I haven't heard about Titan Racing before - but I googled it and they look cool!
is the frame full chromoly??
Yes
that face..... looks younger with lots of excitement...
So excited for this bike!!
Fourplay every day.
Amazing to see the difference between these two 24" trials bikes - I didn't think it would be such a variation. Will be curious to see where the Arcade lands, though - that's next!
@@SuperRiderTV I can’t wait to listen to your thoughts! Always waiting for new videos from you to come out.
