norco 250 is not that good as a start the frame is light thats good rims are garbage my friend has had his for like 3 weeks rims have need to be trued twice ontop of already tensioning and stretching period. the forks are alright no adjustment really other than rebound so it has some upgrades needed but thats with all bike really



lol the wheels are fine now bren. just watch when theyre breaking in they need to be kept tight then there good. not the greatest wheel but coming from a mag 30 they seem to be doing pretty good. im pleased Smile

dude no offense, but never get either one of those. its better to spend more money and get a good bike than to spend less money for something thats gonna break easier. the vagrant is a ood bike but not really for DJ. i would recommend the trail or park if you want a transition. i would go for a devinci district ss. your welcome

Go chucker if u want to choose from those but make it single speed and get a better fork eventualy but if u was to spend more money u will get a much more realyable bike but get the chucker over the fireball or for a bit cheaper get a shogun gate crasher 200 there gd starter dj with a decent fork much better than the RST Launch forks but single speed any dj bike u get it makes them much cheaper to maintain but get it done proper not the DIY shit u see some doin it f*cks the bike up ive had it on my bike for 3 week while i was waitin for money to get my gears i ended up spendin bout £50 more!Geek
