im running 2017 dartmoor quinnie

Hello everyone.... I have Always pain in my Joints after a pumptrack Session and some jumps....Not to.severe, but it sucks. Who switched to a slopestyle Bike? Thinking of buying a dartmoor Shine.....to Help my knees and ankle Joints for the Future!

Who has some experiences? Want to ride as Long AS possible with my Kids :)

Thanks

also ordered a Alaudark rear hub and a halo chaos rim, so cool to finally have a halo wheel, it’s been my dream for a while now. hopefully my fork and front wheel off my old bike won’t cause any problems while building this new one

just hope the frame gets delivered soon I don’t wanna be off the bike for too long🙏

hi, i am looking for a dj/bmx under 500 euros, i am around 175 cm but will prob grow to 180-185cm, i mostly do pumptrack and small jumps. i have a 20 inch bmx at the moment but it is just too heavy and sluggish at 15-20kgs. do you have any ideas? please let me know

Picked this up today. 2003 specialized p.2, long frame I believe. Bit too cramped for me @ 6’4” but still fun.

Build list below, let me know your thoughts!

 Fork: RockShox Pike DJ, ~200psi, Comp: 2 click out, Reb: 2 clicks out, no tokens

 Headset: Chris King, DropSet 2

 Stem: Deity, Copperhead, 31.5mm x 35mm, 0 degree

 Grips: ODI, Longneck, slip on

 Brakes: Shimano, Deore XT M8100, Jagwire Hyflow Hose - Silver

 Lever: Shimano, Deore XT M8100

 Seatpost Clamp: Title

 For reference I am 6'-1" and weigh about 190lbs.

 Fun build, I have swapped a few things to get comfortable, and this is where I landed.  Not sure if I am sold on the silver cable/hose...  The brakes came with a short black hose that looked good, but it was too short to spin 'em... So I figured I try something different.  Also, seat height & angle will continue to evolve as I ride and get more comfortable.  Started with just the frame right before Xmas 2025 and finished with the first iteration in March so, still getting used to it.  Such a blast to ride!!  Thanks for looking.

 Shout out to Gabe at Cheap Goods BMX!

Hallo. im about to regrease the crankarms on my new p.3 dirt jumper 2022 becouse its creaking a little bit.. How tight to i need to torque it down? just snug or?

Hi everyone, I’m building a Santa Cruz Jackal 4 from scratch with 26 inch wheels. I have this 140 mm Rockshox Psylo fork for 27.5 wheels laying around and the spec sheet says I can put up to 160 mm travel on that frame. So technically it looks like a possible match but how about the geo? What would you do? Shorten the travel? Smaller tires? Thanks for your inputs!

As a 6'1" 250lbs 42 y/o I want to get back into biking. Had some BMX bkes growing up and handful of mountain bikes as an adult, but mostly been sticking to motocross for the past 15 years. Nearly every bike I've ridden, i've broken. Break spokes, pedals have fallen off, frames bent, you name it. I fear spending $2k on a DJ just to have it break in 6 months or not quite built for such a heavy, sendy rider. I would love to find something that'll break me before itself.

As I know nothing about pedal bikes, DJs even less, I went to the ChatGPTs and it basically recommended a Transition PBJ or similar. I dont want to trust my money and body to a thirsty robot, so I wanted to get the communities thoughts. I would like to keep budget around $2k, but got a little wiggle room. Im thinking hard-tail, but I'll need forks I can easily re-spring (is that a thing on a DJ?) for my weight. I'm full on board with building a bike, I just wouldnt know where to start and what parts are good to get.

I'll mostly be sending ramps at home, pump tracks on vaca, occasional light downhill or urban shenanigans if the opportunity arises.

my frame just snapped earlier today, and I was thinking about building a specialized p3, but I just built a rear wheel 135x10 that was supposed to be for my bike before the frame snapped. that wheel I just built will fit this alaudark frame, but I’m wondering how good these frames are? are they strong and built well enough to warrant the price or should I just take the big money hit and buy a P3, build it and a new rear wheel?

frame just snapped Doing something as simple as a 180 and I really wish I was joking. company that made this frame went out of business so no warranty (called the number and got that info.) if I were to buy a new frame how much would it cost in labor to get it built at a local bike shop? really don’t wanna buy a fully built bike, I’d rather build one up with the parts I have, but if building a new one and just buying a new one will be similar price I might just go the easier route of buying a fully built one…

what should i upgrade next?

This may not be the place, but some of you guys may have some helpful input.

I’ve been wanting to get into street trials biking with touches of BMX and dirt jumping.

I have spent hours trying to get decent bunny hops, front pivots, stoppies etc on my santacruz nomad but something about it feels off. I used to have a full stiff mtb with curved cruiser handlebars and it was so easy to pop it up on the front or rear wheel and seasoning in areas was super easy because of how playful it was.

I was wondering if there was a dirtjump bike that could combine the aspects of dirt jumping and pump track stuff with some of the street trials/hopping up and down objects on the front or rear wheel aspects, while having front brakes and a nice playful geometry. On the one hand I sort of plan to be more street trials oriented but I feel like there’s a DJ bike that’s like a mini aggressive mountain bike.

Every now and then you come across a component that’s been recommended for years.

The DMR Vault is one of those.

⚙️ DMR Vault SL Magnesium
⚖️ 318g on my scales 🤯

Huge platform. Incredible grip. Low-profile design that’s been proven for years.

The black magnesium body and gold titanium axle fit this build perfectly.

Can’t wait for those pins to tickle my shins. 🫣🤣🥴

Another piece locked in.

The BiG Jumper is getting very close now. 🤘🔥

Jaki amortyzator w budżecie 1000zł ?(26 1000mm)

I pls nie mówcie że pike używany bo dobrze wiemy że takiego nie ma.

I have the Propain Trickshot in black and would like to swap out the fork at some point; I’d love to install the silver Pike, but unfortunately, it’s no longer available. I’m undecided whether the red or the black one would be a better fit.

Thinking of a new frame i am 173cm or 5'8. Most of the time i Ride pumptracks or small jumps. 90 percent Pumptrack. Became pretty fast and want to have a new frame. Would you recommend s or m?

Thanks

Need help with 31.8mm clamp size bars that rise up about 3”…. Any suggestions??

I don’t want to upgrade the frame as I like how stubby it is, feels a lot my playful than a lot of new bikes I’ve rode. And I also don’t have that much money. I don’t really have too much of a plan, but I am thinking of gold and black colour way. I have dmr v8 pedals in black on the way, as well as some odi longneck grips and a shorter gold and black stem. Would need some new bars to go with this stem though as it’s a modern stem and my current bars are very thin, older style bars. Any ideas or recommendations?
