I am new to dirt jumping/urban riding and a looking to build up a soul cycles loki frame that i got off of a friend. i dont really know where to start with the components or fork. any reccomendations
Good starter bike
- Thread starter cultzombieflik
- Start date
how much money are you willing to spend...single speed or gears....suspension or rigid
im 6'2" 195. im trying to keep the price as low as possible and still have a decent ride. i want front suspension and single speed
Sounds like a good start. I mentioned lots of forks in the other thread but it sounds like a Marzocchi Dirt Jumper or Z1 would be good for you.
As far as components go, I would look for used stuff that'll fit your bike.
Some cheap yet decent parts that stick out are:
-Truvativ Hussefelt cranks. You can get 'em for like $20. Not great but they work.
-Truvativ BB, ISIS. Cheap, works.
-Any pedals, really. Wellgo and such are decently priced and decent.
-Stem/bars/seatpost/seat/etc. aren't important. Buy what fits and what you like.
-Buy a strong set of wheels that'll fit your frame and fork that's meant for DJing. There's a lot out there. Everything has it's plusses and minusses. Just get what's in your budget.
