I am going to be making a dirt jumping bike, I will use as many Corsair components as I can, What else should I use?

P.S. Cost is Important

I don't know if Corsair makes rims/hubs, but I would recommend Atomlab Pimplite Wheelsets. I have never had to true mine since I got them and rode them for a whole Michigan biking season (April-October) and then at some indoor parks this winter. They are reasonably priced and are VERY strong. Highly recommended

Kenda K Rad tires are pretty sweet, inexpensive and last a really long time. I like my Azonic Outlaw wheelset (got em in red). The Outlaws are fairly inexpensive as well, and like homeboy's Trail Pimp's I have never had to true mine yet. Try to get a used Marzocchi DJ1 (less expensive). High rise bars. Mechanical disc brake (unless you plan on DH'ing this thing you wont need hydraulics and it will cost less. You dont really need a front brake.)

+1 ... I agree with everything you are saying. The Azonics are pretty b/a and the rest of your tips are great.... of course, you are 10 years older than me Smile

Rather then pimplite rims you could use Mavic EX721's. There lighter and apparently stronger then atomlabs. I have yet to hear/read one bad thing about them.

So OK i have a DMR 24" dirt/street bike setup going on ill tell you my components and you might get the general idea , all my parts are second hand and the whole bike cost me just under 200 GPB


FRAME: 2007 DMR Rhythm
FORK: Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3
WHEEL FRONT: DV 24'S
HUB FRONT: Revolver
WHEEL REAR: DV 24'S + Single speed 12t kit
HUB REAR: Revolver
BRAKE FRONT: N/A
BRAKE REAR: HS33 Magura

My bike is a smooth ride light and very comfy , search gumtree and ebay for parts thats all i did it took me 1 year and 7 months to build as i had to wait for the right part to become avalible.

I would recommend DMR wingbars and a DMR swarm stem. Both very good products, light strong and dont bust the bank - sorted.
