My New Dirt Jump MTB

[nicko451]

Heres my rig! Completely stock. Going to change the bars and stem, maybe cranks see how we go!
Just don my shoulder so cant even ride it properly yet!! :cursing:

 

[zwebx]

sweet, what length cranks are going to go on?

 

[nicko451]

not sure man similar to whats on them just something stronger! im pretty new to the hole mtb dj thing

 

[zwebx]

i would prolly upgrade the pedals before you do your cranks..

im into mtb i have a malvern star i sometimes do some softcore downhill and fast... i am on my 2nd set of forks and these ones are nearing the end of there life also

 

[nicko451]

yeah def getting new pedals! feet slipping off just riding around!

Can highly recommend the Welgo Platforms.. I run them on my 26". Have one side with studs removed.. Other side as a 'flat pedal' or you just add studs as required.

Ride on

 

[nicko451]

Cheers man. they look tops.

 

[foolsp33d]

depending what you want out of bars.. the DMR Wingbar braced are wicked sweet... I like mine WIDE.. so didnt cut them but is an option.

i have 4 dots to remind me that bear grip pedals without toe clips SUCK SHiiZZ and dont feel good when your in your highest gear and your foot falls off at 30 kph and the bike lifts off the ground and is stuck in your leg and the seat is pushing into you

 

[zwebx]

be sure to get a double walled rim for the back if you have the $$$ or just wait till you hit a bump hard

 

[nicko451]

yeah already has double walls! Only a single speed here but yeah the pedals arent much chop

 

[nicko451]

Yeah has those. No top gear for me but am getting some dmr pedals

 

[Snaptrax]

Personally i would recommend these

These are awesome, I use them on my downhill bike and my feet have never come off.

There on this.

[coolmodee01]

[nicko451]

cheers man! it looks better when it sits there opposed to me riding it lol

I bet you jump it like a boss man.

Seeing you smash that table top at Traralgon like it was nothing was impressive.

 

[nicko451]
