I'm just starting out doing street and dj's so I bought a devinci district 2 at my shop this summer. Anyone have any suggestions for upgrades, I'm making it a single speed and I put some white diety bars on it, anything else people can suggest would be sick.

So far I have got some sick deity bars (white) Dangerboy ak 47 stem in pink, DMR V8 pedals (white), Demolition grips (grey) and the DMR single speed spacer kit and tensenor, I was thinking of getting a Rock Shock arygle 318 in white, some transition wheels in black, and the new deity cranks with a 32 tooth ring, and a macneil seat and post, maybe the fat capital. Anyone have any suggestions? There are pics of it in my profile

dude, its a stem... its not like stems break anyways...

don't waste your money on a new stem. my suggestions are brakes, crankset, single speed, and maybe eventually fork.

If you have ever seen the bike, you probably know what i'm talking about! At the end, the bottom line is to get a homogenous bike. So, the stem is everything but nice on this bike! It's a standard cross-country stem, everything but pretty and unimpresive! It,s not just about looking good while riding, but the guy ask what should he change so I just give him the best answer I can.

Here's my opinion.

Decide by yourself if front breaks are needed. Slam your seat. White pedals will match. And white E-13 bashguard will complete the concept. BTW if you ride DJ's you might want new tire treads.

i dunno, from what i see it looks like a standard dirt jump stem... as long as its not abnormally long then imo it doesn't need changing.

Thanks guys, keeps the helpful tips coming, oh and one of those pictures is before I put my Dangerboy AK 47 on, its a pretty sick stem, and I don't plan on changing it anytime soon. I was thinking of getting a Macneil post and the FAT capital seat, any thing to say good or bad about it? I was also thinking the new Deity Cranks and chainring, a Rock Shock Arygle 318 fork, and I don't have a clue what type of wheels I should get, I was thinking MTX's, Transition Revolutions, or Syncros, I just want something thats pretty light, but that can take a beating, thanks

Has any one acutally ridden them? I'm just looking for something thats relatively light and strong, but is cheap enough for my university budget. thanks
