So im in the market for a new 4x/ds/dj bike and am looking for a nice flickable hardtail.
Im thinking about a 22 in mob.
It would be setup with a pike, knobbies, gears, so not the typical psedu bmx you see them setup as usually.
I'm just wondering if anyone has experince on one of these setup this way.
The only thing that really worries me is that the chainstays might be to short, and that it would give it a unbalanced conering feel. I feel like i will already have to run a pretty low front end to have it feel balanced, i would be building it up with parts i already have so it will probably be a pike at 90mm, a flat 50mm thomson, and some lower rise bars.
The other thing im worried about is sizing, i thought i would go with a 22 in even though i'm 5 8. I'm not looking for a super tight bmxie cockpit. I actually have a terrible one bmx too. is the 22 truly a 22, or will it be to big?
Anyway anyone have a mob setup for speed rather than pure street/park. and how have your experinces been.
