Hey Guys,
Hate to Hijack the thread but I have a few questions about Jump Bikes, I'm looking at building my own (2nd hand frame maybe some new parts) Yeti DJ Short, I'm going to be using it on the street and for a bit of free ride and jumps. Anyways I'm doing it to help with some of my techniques when I race/ride XC/Trails with my lines and hitting the jumps on the trails.
Is it worth going geared or single speed (I'm thinking single)
Also what travel fork should I be looking for?
And what sort of tires would you run tubeless or tubed?
Any tips on Brake setups etc.
I'm not going to be doing crazy stuff I just want a fun bike to beat around on.
