TriаlsRider Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) So I bought today some freeride?dirt?4x? bike GT Ruckus SX 2009 with custom fork and pedals. Here's the specs: -Frame GT Riskus SX, S size -Fork Marzocchi 55rc3 2009 160mm (brand new) -Tyres: Kenda Nevegal, 26x2.35 (shitty ones lol, absolutely no grip at -6 on snow) -Rims: Alex FR32 -Brakes: Avid Juicy 3 S, 160mm (pretty awesome bite, don't know about the hold, but it seems that hold are great too even with 160 rotors) -9 speeds cassete SRAM PG-950 Power Glide II, 11-28T/SRAM X.5 Medium Cage/SRAM X5 Overall condition like new. Costs me 425 GBP for whole bike(dunno maybe it's a bit expensive for this bike?). GEO is: Frame: 1090 WB 410 chainstay ~668 Reach 0mm BB rise with this fork: Fork: 160mm (530mm/30mm rake) Pretty close to street-trials. With standard stem and shitty bars It really hard to bunnnyhop, so the first things I changed...

TriаlsRider Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) So the first things I changed was stem and bars. Will ride tomorrow and tell how it feels. What I wanted is to get a bike that can stand some jumps/trials and that is comfy for ride to longer distances and on which I can sit normally. It seems that I have an addiction to street-trials stems and bars, hate anything except of wide high rise bars and stems like 70-90mm/25-35deg, don't know why but.. they feels so niiiice.
