Ok here's some points on the INEXA.Here is their Geometry Chart From their website.
Facts
- These geometries provided are at the very least VAGUE! They provided no head angle, seat angle, front centre, rear centre, fork rake and certainly no trail.
- They are also Untrue, the top tube measurements stated are incorrect. What the hell is B & C? They appear to be the same? But the measurements are different. 1 can only assume that one is Actual Top Tube Length and that the other is Virtual Top Tube Length, if this is the case the longer of the two measurements should be the Virtual Top Tube Length because it deviates from the true line of the top tube, this deviation of course makes the length longer. The REAL Virtual Top Tube Measurement of the XL is only 58cm a far cry from the 60cm they state. The M's REAL Virtual Top Tube Length is only 53.5cm.
- Monster rides a L for argument sake.
- Ricky Peoples Fell on the last corner in A Grade @ Glenvale crescent last December, after the fall it was found that his fork had snapped of with a clean break @ the top of the Alloy shim. Did the fork break first or because of the fall?
- A friend of the WA Sales representative was out on a ride with his buddy, the Rep, and his Fork Snapped off clean whilst riding along a flat road. It was found to have snapped CLEAN off @ the top of the fork crowns Alloy Shim,
- Hence INEXA put out a voluntary recall of all their forks on the C1 Bikes.
- This secret recall was so well advertised that they only informed you if you first asked about it.
- Then a customer who hadn't heard about the SECRET RECALL was riding in the 'Great Tasmanian Bike Ride' and when crossing some train tracks in Launceston when her forks suddenly snapped, funnily enough, clean break, on the steerer @ top of the alloy crown shim.
- So you tell me, did Ricky Peoples fork break as a result of the accident or did it break and cause the accident? You decide.

For forks sake, what a forking forked bike! You would be forked in the head to forking buy one of those forked up bikes that has no forking angles...... Fork.
I was right behind Ricky Peoples in that A grade Glenvale Crit (final corner). I saw what happened and his forks were still in tact when he fell. There was a massive collision while riders were still upright. It happened right in the middle of the corner. I had to go straight to miss the carnage and jumped the gutter and slammed on the brakes before hitting a building (several riders couldn't take the corner and did what I did). I'm pretty sure one bike (maybe Ricky's?) slid on the road (at around 40km/h+) into the gutter and hit it full force with the front wheel (which could easily break a fork I'd reckon). Glenvale doesn't have train lines, potholes, or anything, so I reckon his forks either broke when:
A. Impact with another rider
B. Impact with the road
C. Impact with the gutter
That being said, they were the crappest forks I've ever used. Even worse than the straight forks I had on the 99 Team Corsa. They felt so soft. They got speed wobbles. It was almost impossible to ride no hands at speed.
