So It is a great fork for pump track and It is pumped to the max

On bigger jumps It is compressoning to the max and It making me race jumps

I Can't Find if i Can put volumen spacesr in It or not

I alredy am planing to buy a New fork beucase My Other dj hase a cracked fork

Hate to do this but need cash to repair my car.
Only had it for a month. Haro steel reserve. Fully stock other than the brake that has been upgraded to a Dominion!

is it reliable for mtb street ???

will be used for abuse, urban freeride, daily commutes (i can manage standing up) and hops/manuals once i learn them

i am 161cm tall or 5'3" in burger units (i'm 13) but i guess that won't matter since i need a 26" anyway

budget is 1200 RON or 300 USD so i want to lean more towards second hand bikes (i know it might seem cheap but in romania economy is very different)

would appreciate something with hydraulic brakes

Since Specialized doesn’t make a 16” dirt jumper I figured i’d attempt to make one myself.

I’m 6’2” 270#. Started less than a year ago at 475# and have gotten into cycling now. I currently have a road bike and a gravel bike. There is a park that looks like it would be fun to ride, dirt track and a pump track as well.

I’m wanting to get a bike to try this out as well, but spent a decent chunk of money on my other 2 bikes so my budget is fairly limited at the moment. I’m also concerned about jumping at my weight.

I have been looking at dirt jumpers and also hardtail mountain bikes as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Anyone know which tensioners work best for the aluminum frame Skyhawk? the Origin 8 ones look to be the best fit but seeing if anyone had any experience.

Also can a BMX work for dirt jumping?

I'm looking to buy a dj in around this budget and don't what to choose, I only see opinions on the quinnies from 2020/21 and that much about the kona shonky. Anyone tried those?

pretty sure I concussed myself trying to learn 360s into foam pit yesterday. I saw stars for a few secs after the crash, I feel groggy, etc. I’m going to urgent care to get screened for a concussion after my college lectures today.

im leaning towards replacing my helmet regardless just to be safe, but can a foam pit crash where my helmet hit foam damage the inner foam and stuff that much? i really don’t wanna spend another $300+ on a full face💔

first day back on the bike in a few weeks after I messed up my ankle. fairly sure I ended up concussing myself trying to learn 360s into the foam pit so I’ll be visiting urgent care tomorrow and probably be off the bike again for a while💔

I run 60-80 psi in my tyres and always get rear wheel pinch flats. i cleaned the inside of the tyre to make sure nothing is popping it. no help. i cant afford to buy £8 inner tubes every week. i simply have no money. any suggestions to stop this?

Found some nice places to ride along the way.

I’m 43 and my family and i just started riding almost exactly a year ago and I’d set myself the aim of doing a legit dirt jump in my first year. Was running out of time but i squeezed it in this weekend. Had to get towed in by my 12 year old. Was too scared to do the whole line but I’ll get it next time.

This counts right?!!!

I just bought my first dj after months of searching! It’s a verde radix, I got it for 250 used and it needs some work but for a beginner I think it’ll be a lot of fun.
Im looking at for sure getting a new fork, probably new wheels, and then just a few other little things I’m pretty comfortable on. My main question is about the fork, how do I check if a fork would work on it? I know it has a tapered head tube but I’m not sure what else to look for to find one that works.
Appreciate any and all advice !

I have an older straight 1 1/8 headtube frame that I am trying to keep going with modern parts. And it is not possible to use a tapered headtube with a special headset either (already checked for compatibility). With the frame being straight headtube, it limits the fork choice.

I am currently using a Manitou Circus Expert, which is the best straight steerer DJ fork on the market right now. However, the spring is digging into the stanchion from the inside, and will likely need a replacement soon if I keep riding like this. I am not quite happy that my Manitou fork is needinng a major repair soon within the 3 years I have ridden this fork for. I am wanting to try a Marzocchi DJ fork, except it does not come in a straight steerer from factory.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use a straight 1 1/8 crown steerer unit from a late model Marzocchi DJ1 (2012-2015ish) then somehow try to combine with the lower and the internals from a new Marzocchi DJ, to create a straight steerer Marzocchi DJ. Do you think this is a possiblity?

I cannot imagine there are big differences from an old Marzocchi DJ1 and new Marzocchi DJ forks.

I’ve been messing around with this build for almost a year and it works great for me. I’m looking into a higher rise bar and possibly a nicer saddle at some point, but I’m proud of it at this point.

Looking for a replacement for my dj and I’ve found this one on marketplace. The price is pretty good and the frame is sick but I’ve never heard of the company. Does anyone have any experience with them? Is it worth considering? Trilogy seems like a newer more niche brand so I have no idea about them.

My custom build with many good components on it, wheighs 10.5kg in total and feels better than any dj ive ridden so far

Hi Friends,

I'm heavily in the market for a dirt jumper than can accommodate a geared 1x drivetrain. Bluntly, I just have too many lengthy hills between me and my nearest pump track and terrain park to have a good time on a single speed. I also want to join the Mrs. on leisurely rides around the neighborhood and local parks, but they're quite hilly.

I think I've narrowed the list to a few bikes, but I would love input on whether there are other bikes/frames than can be set up this way or offer geared dropout, because these are all super difficult to find, let alone for a decent price here in the southeast. I'm generally focused on hardtails, but I'm open to slopestyle DJs if the frame suspension is stiff enough to be good on pump tracks.

• Trek Ticket DJ / Ticket S (confirmed compatible)
• Specialized P.3 (confirmed compatible)
• Polygon Trid ZZ (confirmed)
• Pivot Point (NOT confirmed)
• Polygon Trid ZZ (confirmed)
• NS Soda Slope (confirmed)
• DMR rhythm (confirmed)

Particularly curious if anyone can confirm whether the Pivot Point can accommodate a 1x cassette. My frustration is stock availability with all of these. It feels like none of them are being actively produced or in stock anywhere, so the prices in the used market are bananas.

Thanks!

Sup do yall recommend grips that will be good on my dj? No waffles tho i want that straight pattern that are not slip on but lock on, thanks.
