TTidders Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Looks good apart from the rst forks. The suspension desent feel very progresive and there isnt much adjustment on them. But you cant go rong with the Elixir they are wonderfull brakes Edited January 8, 2010 by TTidders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshlyd1 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Personally i dont like how they ride to be honest but they are really nice and controlled in the air , its just when i rode it round tight bends at the track which let it down but that might be because the stem was long . Those forks though urrghh get rid of those if you get it I bought a 2009 specialized p1 and i love that bike so much its perfect geo and just needs some good tyres and pedals , i wouldn't swap my specialized for anything it was deffo the best bike i have had . hope iv helped a little EDIT- that mong has a short stem so it should ride really well and be good if your a begginer Edited January 9, 2010 by joshlyd1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyres are a very personal choice, especially downhill ones, if you are going for a tyre just for dj then get something like the moto (i personally prefer the kenda k-rad as they are lighter and can be run at higher pressures) but if you are after something for a bit of dh or just all round riding then I personally have found that nothing gives better grip and all round performance than spiked tyres such as the continental vertical or the maxxis ignitor fr.

davidlongy Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 My problem with the kenda k-rads were they pinched easily, but they have lasted ages, must be four or five years now I have some maxxis minions 20x2.5 and they are honestly some of the best tyres ever, you can run them at dead low pressures for dh sometimes and the grip is quality, however my friend has som high rollers, which are also great. Its hard to choose, but most of maxxis' tyres are decent, as are kenda, continental etcetc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddin Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 For dj it has to be the Dmr moto Rt, But the ultimate downhill tyre has to be the Maxxis Minion So wrong! Only kidding minions are alright but my personal dh favourite is michelin comp 16's but you probably don't want a dh tyre for dirt jumpings as it will be too slow rolling. Safe options is a hard compound high roller 2.35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
