i'm the most pissed off guy in canada right now after that hockey game lol. i've just decided that i can only afford to buy either a new frame, or a pike fork. for a new dj build. Only because I need a new roadie bike for the summer =) so it is either a ns frame (majesty or suburban) or a fork. I was thinking just the frame. Cause i have parts to put on it. only problem is a fork. Would my fox 36 talas be "too much" for it do you think? i'd run it at 130mm though, not 160mm. plus i'll be throwing on the rims you were telling me about in the spring. suggestions before i start spending money.

This should have been POD. I'm moving from Canada to Sweeden. I love blonds with a sexy body like that.

transition. a dirt jumper can run whatever amount of travel you prefer. I ride a dh bike sometimes to the jumps (i know its stupid but sometimes I feel like riding it) and it has 8 (point something travel) front and rear and its fine. I also run a talas 36 on my flow for dirt jumping specific, and I throw whatever at that fork and it OWNS. downhiller-dirtjumper has a prefect set up for djing.

it should be soild enough for dj, considering some tracks lopes races on have massives jumps and gaps.plus he isn't going to ride something that cannot handle a race.

yeah your 36 is like perfect lol, i wish i could afford one haha, and i recently found out that you can get the xt wheelset for $600... so if u can get your hands on the wheelset that would be sick, i think i may try and just get the wheelset aswell in the spring

cuz front wheel doesnt need as much strength as the rear, so keep the front end lite

and yo i suggest going for atomlab pimplite rims actually, im getting one for my back wheel bit heavier but its worth not having to true your wheel after 2 years of hard thrashing Razz

they are so strong the hubs usually blow before the rim wobbles haha, ill be getting that laced up soon, and running a shimano XT front wheel which will keep the weight down

they are 26'' by 33mm wide rim, and only weigh 550grams, which is lighter the mavic ex721 rims and wider set so wobbles are really hard to have happen
