New Cane Creek eeWings crank set option now available to special order. Extensively tested by Inspired team riders, the eeWings cranks have proven to be a super light, and strong crank option for trials use with a 10 year warranty! Supplied with a custom, individually numbered, integrated bash ring designed to fit perfectly with an integral axle spacer. Cane Creek's own Hellbender 70, sealed bottom bracket finishes off this ultimate drive train set up. Total weight for the cranks, BB and custom bash rings is only 576g!
Please note The Cane Creek eeWings cranks are
ONLY supplied on complete bikes and cannot be purchased separately.
- New head tube design now features fully integrated headset bearings for a cleaner front end whilst saving weight.
- A slightly longer front triangle than the Flow 22" gives more room for taller riders to take advantage of this wheel size.
- 2-peice BB yoke, Post Mount brake mounts and through axles front and rear are all borrowed from the Fourplay to make sure the Link is strong enough for whatever you can throw at it.
- The new Trialtech Team chain tensioner has been completely redesigned and now uses an integrated bracket, smaller spring with an additional thumb rest making removing the chain much easier. The more minimal design saves weight and tucks the tensioner further up into the chain stay. Chain wrap has been massively improved, with the new tensioner offering the most chain wrap we've seen from a sprung tensioner!
- Top cap design screws into the threaded steerer tube and allows the hose to be routed through the steerer if required. We can send the bikes with the hose through the steerer if you like, please also purchase the correct brake model option of this
Workshop Item if you would like the hose to be routed through the steerer.
If you do not add this item, the bike will be sent with the hose NOT routed through the steerer as shown in the pictures.
- High quality 6066 aluminium tube set includes double butted top and down tubes to save weight.
- Featuring a 12mm x135mm rear through axle, as well as 180mm position Post Mount disc mount.
- 15mm x 100mm through axle fork retains exceptional stiffness for a smaller wheel.
- Revised toptube and seatstay joints for improved strength.
- Hope Pro 4 hubs offer rock solid, silky smooth, dependable rolling and drive, and the rear is the latest generation Trials/SS model, offering 88 engagements per revolution! (This works out at 121 engagements per crank revolution with the featured 22:16 gear ratio.)
- Tapered fork steerer tube is made from 7075 aluminium and is both lighter and stronger than previous models.
-Available in Satin Silver only!

This bike is supplied with a 6 month warranty covering manufacturing and materials defects. The warranty does not cover mistreatment or poor maintenance. Please ensure all the details on the warranty sheet supplied with the bike are adhered to. Certain circumstances (such as stripped threads or rounded crank arm tapers) only occur due to a lack of correct maintenance and all manufacturers are aware of these situations, so any claims due to incorrect maintenance procedures are much less likely to be successful.
We build this bike to a 100% complete state in our workshop before dispatch to ensure all items are manufactured correctly and nothing is missing, but we do have to remove some parts to ensure there is no damage during transit. You will need some basic tools (usually 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm allen keys and a 15mm spanner) for final assembly upon arrival. We have a video guide here to help, but please don't hesitate to contact us if you require any further assistance.
Please note that the specification on the bike may occasionally vary slightly from the photos and description. If this happens then the overall effect will be an upgrade and it will not affect the cosmetic appearance of the bike drastically.
