Why not a macneil stump post instead. And i would go for badabings and underboss stem to save even more weight...

you can use bmx hubs up front but the frame is 135mm so you can only use mtb hubs

I thought so. Are the ns RNS forks any good? btw i am going to be using the bike for a lot of dirt jumping as well.

Okay scrap the light bmx hub on the back idea...
And iv been thinking you could save weight by getting a federal slammed post and use a shim to make it fit.
Not only is it lighter than the DMR one by being a bmx one but they have cut it as short as they can so it saves even more weight.

Yeah i was looking at the federal slamed and i think you can get shims off chain reaction cycles. does the suburban have a euro bottom bracket?
cheers
