make sure you post in the sub 28 thread after. If you have the money, go ti spokes. What are you doing for the fork?. Sus or rigid? If you going rigid black market tech 9 or for sus, go x fusion velvet r. They are like 3.85 pounds and pure sickness. oh and if your riding dj's and maybe street run u brakes. You don't need disks. As for tires run these

I agree. It would be a shame to put that much work in then top it all off with a plastic seat.

Eclat Complex bmx one piece seat and post are pretty light. 180grams or something and fairly cheap too

Trials riders do 3s on them, and a lot more, why not? Just be decently smooth.

true, but trials is much lower speed, messing up a three on a dj is a lot differnt then a slow drop to flat, plus most trials riders tank through rims

I'll agree with you except for the tanking through rims part... Of everyone I've ridden with (including elite level riders), no one goes through rims...
