All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

team pup n suds jersey coming soon?

 

Holy crap yes

 

a dj bike is typically a single speed 26" bike. shorter wheel base to do spins and whips. slammed seat for better center of gravity control. short stem.

 

So just smaller? Nothing geometry specific about it?

 

well theyre like a bigger bmx bike but also a smaller trail bike.

not sure on spec for geo like headtube angles or reach or anything

 

Just wondering if I could pick up some cheapo small bike, make it single speed and be good to go lol

 

yea totally. since youre pretty much standing the whole time and not pedaling the frame doesnt need to be your size. a friend has some old throwaway frame he built up for a dj. all scrap parts. not the prettiest, but it does the small jumps fine. not sure if i would send a booter on it, but pump tracks and jump parks around the city are fine.

 

You can usually find BMX and DJ bikes for cheap. They're meant to be wrecked and beat on repeated, so they don't hold the same value as for example a carbon enduro bike.

 

I’ll have to look into it more when it gets built. Concrete scares me lol.

still waiting on the single track course to be done

 

Oh yeah, Skate parks will serve you a dish of cold hard feedback and not feel bad about it. Concrete and steel.

 

Came in yesterday

 

Skate parks are super fun on bikes though i feel like between skate parks and pump tracks my bike handling got so much better

 

Bike shaped object!

 

Vittoria!!!!!

 

Color matched my tires to my trail dog. #NextLevel

 

I'm more of an Airborne fan for the blades and Gleaming the Cube for boarding..... man I'm getting old.

 

Nice saddle.

 

Any bike with a small frame that can be jumped. In the old days dual slalom guys would just take small frames with sloping top tubes
and boom dual slalom aka dirt jumper. Used dirt jumpers are the way to go. A lot of guys think they want them and when they crash on
a big double they usually sell them the next day for cheap.

 

I don’t recall airborne. Looking at the photos it looks familiar but don’t remember watching that..

 

This thread moves so fast I have a feeling I’m missing some pages. Anybody seen the pages I haven’t read?
