So I want to build up a Black Market Riot and I'm having difficulty choosing between the Float 32 RL and the Float 36 RL. Do you think I would really need the 20mm axle for DJ/Street? Money is also a small issue, I could save about $200 if I purchase the 32 over the 36, but I don't know how strong it will be compared to the 36. I think it should be fine, but just wondering about what all of your thoughts are.

How much do you weigh, how rough are you on parts, and how much flex can you tolerate?

I weigh about 145lbs, I'm not real rough on parts, I don't do super big tricks; and I think flex won't be too much of a problem..... as long as its not ridiculously noticeable... I'm running a Pike 454 on my current DJ bike.

Youll be saving $$ by getting the 36 then, as you wont need a new wheel.

For your weight Id usually suggest a 32, but WHY would you get rid of the pike to get a Fox?

cuz fox's are amazing
well if you get a 32 youll need a new hub/wheel so id say go for the 36 it looks better too Big Grin
not to say 32's are bad theyre amazing too but you really wont save much if you get the 32 so get 36's

1) USE SEARCH

2) dont thread-jack. This is about 32 vs 36, not lowering vans.

Yea, I'm trying to make my build around 26lbs so the 32 should save a few pounds over the 36
