Ok guys. I am building a 20" dirt jumping bike and need some expert advice. I'm a mt. biker, so I don't really know much about the 20". Here is what I know I am already getting.

Frame = Planet-X 20" Bare Metal
Cranks = Planet-X Cranks, BB, and Ring
Stem = on=one

I know I want Maxxis Tires. I'm thinking Holy Roller in the rear and Max Daddy in the front. My question is, 1 is this a good combo, and 2 what sizes should I get? I am thinking 1.95 Holy Roller Rear, and 2.25 Max Daddy up front.

I have a hook up with Primo. I was thinking of getting the Mustache Bar, ROD seat post, and maybe a wheel set. Do they make good stuff?

What fork should I get?
What brake?
Other wheel set?

Any other added info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, Primo makes good stuff so splash some Primo parts on that biek of yers. I use the Rod seatpost and it's held up fine but only a few ball rides. They also make wheels, so might as well get a pair of those too. I agree with S&M pitch forks. And finally, diatech hombres for stopping. Then ride that sumabich and break some of that stuff and fix and break and fix and break and fix and...

Primo parts should suit you quite well, If you're going to be using primo hubs I suggest getting the pros over the sobs, the pros will last longer. For a fork check out the odyessy race or dirt for, both come with a lifetime warrenty, you break and they give you a new one no questions asked. The odyessy forks are quite a bit lighter than the standards and the pitch too.
