Rob Thomson Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Buy a Zero or a Curtis, but some short travel forks, hit the skatepark for a week or so and you're sorted The stuff you pick up in the skatepark can easily be taken to the streets!Places like descentworld touch on the street/jump bits and pieces and you could probably pick up a few things there!Enjoy it!

Phil H Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I do know it's a load of bollocks compared to trials if that's any use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Any half decent 4x or dirt jump frame that can accomodate 100mm forks will be perfect for what you want. For the front end you can not beat aryles though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the front end you can not beat aryles though.I ride a rocky mountain flow 3.0. Excellent bike, check their site out man.It's kinda an all around bike. It does well on trails, street, park and I'm liking it with trials as well. The only thing I'd say is that the stem is very very short. Like almost non-existant short. Make sure you get an extender. I have one at a buddy's place that is about 3-4 inches long, maybe longer. I'm gunna slap that bad boy on... Maybe get your second ring removed as well. I've been thinking about that. Its not a lot of weight to lose, but its some. And you can always ditch your seat for an extra pound off maybe. There are lots of things you can ditch to lose some weight.I guess I should've asked if you're looking for a mod like bike or a stock like bike. Mine is definately more like a stock. 26" wheel.Hope that helps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we all have a laugh doing what we enjoy.Rant over, I'm hungover and wound up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_malcolm Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 if your looking for adivece on bikes i would recomend the the giant stp 2 its the bottom of the range stp but the frame is exactly the same as the stp 0 apparet from colour it just has more budget componants on it so therefore cheaper.forum wise i find the mbuk forums are allright a bit slow compaired to this, you may have to wait a few days for a reply but its allright though.www.bikeradar.co.uk the its under mountain bike then theres the street forum link in there.hope any of that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit Southerndownhill.comSign up to the forum, you can buy stuff there, and talk about it more in detail.Me and a few friends rode jump for a while. DMR frames are specialy good for jump, the old rhythm especialy. 24seven frames are also good.I've got some small forks for sale, and wheels and brakes. Basicaly the start to any good jump bike.http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=120119Want anymore info add me on msn, or email omgdz_joshua.rawr@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
