 That looks so awkward. The parts are good but it just looks shitty. Smaller rotors, cut down the heatube, tighten the chain and lower the fork and saddle. Will make it a hell of a lot better ;D

 How misleading. You bought the wrong frame for DH... would have been better of with something like a 26player of a flow moe.
  • 2 4
 yeh well i like this frame mate .

and buy the looks of things you only had one bike so cant really tell me what right and rong as ive had about 15 dh/jump/park bikes

 *by *wrong ..... And I can tell you that a steel hardtail with super short chainstays and a high BB is not suitable for DH.

 1) take the pics with the fork lowered then
2) why not? slamming saves you nuts and gives you room to move around the bike
3) fair
4) vented rotors are to stopm the rotors getting really hot under continuous hard braking. They would be very good for long downhill races, but on a DJ bike whats the point?
4) fair.

 If you are comfortable on the bike it doesnt matter what parts and how you "are suppose to have it set up", its personal thats what makes biking so great, you can be a badass on a bike that others think is shit, good build

 exactly, i had a bike setup exactly like this and i would go to the dirt jumps with my friends and they would give me shit for not lowering my forks and having dj tires and cranks ect but i hit everything way bigger than they did.. its all personal preference Big Grin

 i think its a fine dh/dj rig. the only thing i think it could use is gears but thats my opinion. good job dude. i lik ethe wheels enough that i'm going to buy a pair and put them on my bigfoot.
  • 1 0
 hello mate

yes i have been thinking about gears.

but im going to change the rear cog to ether 15or16 as its really hard to pedal.
i know the wheels are awsome Smile got the wheelset of ebay
