yeah i get the point:S any body got any idea if lowering dj2s is easy for the ns or if it would be better to go for a different frame based around a 100mm fork?

personally, I'd go for the frame and leave the fork at 100mm... might give it .5 degree more rake... not a big deal to most people.

Is that all it would do? raise the bb a tiny bit. I suppose it wouldn't be noticeable at all really. Its more about warranty though i think. I suppose id have to check.

gayest setup award

here in the UK we have predominantly BMX trails, that guys on 26" and 24" also ride

having wasted alot of time and money on 4 different 24" bikes, I ended up going back to BMX for riding trails, skatepark, street and 26" for proper off-road dirt mountain biking action

if you are going to ride a 24" on bmx style trails, may as well get a nice bmx??

Have you looked at a 24seven V24. I've got one set up exactly the way u mention and I love it to bits Fab

Other than that theres the NS subbie, Identiti P60 and the new DMR transition thats my 2 cents
