Hey everyone, been lurking for a while and been finding lots of good info, awesome vids and pics! very inspiring stuff!!!
although ive been finding great info, i still have some questions.....
Im looking to set up a dj mtb completely rigid. It seems a lot of frames geo are built with suspension fork in mind, so do you think a rigid fork would be weird?
also, any recommendations on frame? ive been looking around a lot and researching..... black market, dmr, dobermann, NS etc....
my background is BMX, dj trails are my passion. Ive also enjoyed singletrack MTBing though too and have gotten more into that because of sciatica/back issues. Ive gotten really comfortable with my 26 kona xc. soooo... though i loved my 20in i cant go back, mostly due to my back issues which are non exsistant on my 26.
so looking for a rigid 26 with bmx feel to get back into dj trails again. so i keep coming back to the black market riot.
thoughts on fork and frame choices would be much appreciated!!!
and one more thing..... why does it seem mtb is so much more expensive!?!? ive been thinking about at least going back to 24, maybe better on my back (though probably not as good as 26 is) and cheaper and close to bmx. i could get a really reliable 24 complete for less than $500. but mtb dj complete is like 1000.
anyway, sorry for the long winded first post. thoughts, opinions, etc all welcomed!
