cassette on a single speed setup? careful. i did that. until my chain jumped, skipped to upshift, then ripped and threw me over the bars. ouch.
His works just fine actually. I have never even heard his skip before, ever!
It's still a peace of crap though.
i liek to be able to have a gear choice with just a 4mm allen.
There are a lot of nice bikes out there .
Keep posting all the great bikes you guys have .
Nothing to brag about, but it is still in the beginning stages.
I keep seeing tall manitou forks in the bmx/dj forum...
You just need some shorties to balance it out.
Complete with a Jumper lowered to 65mm.
These are the best!

i want to do that to my sherman jumper... do you have instructions handy?
PS sick bike the green and white is fantasticular.
definitely rather have mine.
that porter is sick, i like the seat/grips. get some cable management going on there though...zip the derailluer and r. brake together for a cleaner look
I thought I already said that all my bikes own all

Yessir, I gots instructions - where you want them?
Post em right here. My homie wants to do it to his jumper as well.
Here we go.
Step By Step.
1. Flip bike upsidedown/take off front wheel
2. remove lowers by:
-Undoing the bolt at the bottom of one of the legs.
-On the other leg with the rebound knob, remove the knob and stick in an 8mm allen key.
-Tighten this until it unthreads into the fork.
-Now just pull the lowers off. No oil will come out, dont worry.
3. Undo bolt at the bottom of spring side stanction leg
4. Remove compression rod assembly (this is a shiny thin metal tube). It wil have a variety of spacers, a short spring on it and such
5. you will see a black plastic spacer right near the top out spring. Add more spacers there. Add the the length of spacers you want to lower it by. Find something that fits snugly around the compression rod. I used rubber garden hose washers that come around 20 for $1
*OPTIONAL STEP*
6. Cut spring down by the length you added in spacers, leaving a little more for you to preload the spring as you tighten the bolt at the bottom of the stanction leg. I didn't do this, instead I just shoved the spring back in there, essentially adding extra preload in the amount of however many spacers I put in there. Makes it hella stiff.
*OPTIONAL STEP*
7. Bolt all that **** back together.
If you are mechanically inclined, this will take about 10 minutes and should make perfect sense to you. Give it a whirl! I love my jumper in 65mm mode.

Did the actual ride height become any lower?
thanks for posting the instructions!

my PImperial:
What the hell's going on with the shiver in your first picture?
ps its forsale.
And no problem with the instructions - since you're dropping the travel by essentially preloading the fork more - there's less stanchion exposed and it does reduce the ride height of an already short fork - giving my BlkMrkt all the more BMX'er feel
^*pimp*^
dont know how if eel about the tires...they go well with teh bike, i just think the seat/grip combo would be enough.
i havnt seen one of those in a looong time.my PImperial:
looks good-nice subtle reds
lowering your jumper that way will cause it to break over time if you ride hard. i had two done like these in the past and both had catostrophic endings, you have to cut the spring or it will be bad new bears. what chain is that on the p3? me want
