Mirra Co. Signature

[payo809]

I know it's geared towards dirt, but how do you think it would work in street? I tried it today and just really like the way it felt, weight, dimensions, etc. Please gimme some feedback, thanks a lot

[wethepeople]

Mirra Co. is a pretty shady company, and they forget to weld things.

[FitRider 921]

Word to WTP.

[payo809]

yeah ive heard stuff about the forks, but my store only carries mirra co and gt right now and im low on cash. any feelings on trail bikes for street anyway?

[FitRider 921]

order online. how much money ya got? how tall are you? how much do you weigh?

[payo809]

Just south of $300 now, I'm like 5'6, just under 140 lbs.

[FitRider 921]

If you bump it up to a little bit more, about $300, the DK Six Pack is your best bet.

[tmowery18]

why does everyone recomend that? for the same price you can get an '07 stolen wrap and those in my opinion are just as good if not better than the 6-pack and cooler looking.

[FitRider 921]

Newsflash: I've recommended the stolen wrap before because I think it is a good bike, but it is just a tad bit more expensive. Just because they are cooler looking does not make it better... and what in your mind makes the stolen wrap as good or better than the six pack? Please provide proof and examples.

[tmowery18]

6-pack=

Full 100% 4130 chromoly, DK chromoly fork, DK chromoly 2-pc bars, 175mm 3-pc with Spanish BB, DK Trail stem, platform pedals, 36T DK CNC'd Iron Cross chainwheel, Sun 48H rims, sealed rear DK Macho hub, 14mm axles, 13TOdyssey freewheel, street/dirt tires, Tektro lever, Tektro 904 U-brake, DK Jump seat, DK Vise grips, 2 DK Bundy pegs. 20.5" Toptube. (32 lbs)

Wrap=

100% chromoly frame with "S" gussets and micro dropouts, 1-1/8" chromoly fork, Stolen chromoly 2-pc bars, forged alloy stem, integrated headset, 175mm tubular 3-pc cranks with sealed Euro BB, CNC 6061 33Tchainwheel, DX style platform pedals, 36H front/48H rear Alex MX-22 rims, sealed alloy hubs with 14mm axles, 12T cassette cog, KMC Z-510 chain, Tektro U-brake, Stolen embossed logo seat with Kevlar edges,
Maxxis Holly Roller front tire & Maxxis M-Tread rear tire, 2 steel pegs. 20.75" Toptube (29.7 lbs)

I think that says it all. I dont know maybe its just my opinion. I like the fact that the wrap is 3 pounds lighter. you get 33/12t ratio instead of 36/13t. I also like the dirt tire in front so you can trail ride nicely but still have the street control to. I don't know much I guess, as I am still new. But to me for only $20 more, I think its worth it.

Looks like the wrap's got a sealed front hub and a cassette instead of a freewheel, which is good. And an integrated headset, but regular ones last pretty long anyway...

whats the difference between a cassette and a freewheel? Also sealed front hub as oppose to what? sorry for the stupid questions, just trying to learn. Thanks

[gnr rocker]

**** cassette hubs, im strictly freewheel

[wethepeople]

Hello poserzack.

[tmowery18]

**** cassette hubs, im strictly freewheel

yea what is the difference?

[gnr rocker]

i dont want to, or ever plan to, ride micro gearing. so there is no reason to pay a bundle of money for cassette hub

[MadMan2k]

He was registered before prozakk was.

[wethepeople]

I was just joking because poserzack said he would never run a cassette.

1. you didn't explain anything, you just posted the specs on the bikes
2. you don't even know anything about the specs on the bikes as proven by the above question
3. what do you actually know about bikes besides that they have two wheels and are capable of motion when someone pedals?

[tmowery18]

ummm i said in the post: I don't know much I guess, as I am still new. but im sure you were never new at anything and it just comes natural. ;)

[gnr rocker]

stolen>dk

[FitRider 921]

but im sure you were never new at anything and it just comes natural.
Actually, yes, most of everything does come naturally to me because I am a natural athlete. The matter being debated on the other hand is just knowledge, which you obviously don't have in this area. It also shows that you haven't learned much in school. Don't they teach you when to use "knew" and "new" anymore? You still never answered how old you are...

[tmowery18]

It was a typo. Wait let me guess...That never happens to you does it? Your just a natural at typing to arent you? I've already introduced myself and said my age in it. Use the search button :). You are probably a natural at that to, so it wont take long to find it.

[gnr rocker]

go. away. now. don't argue with og's

[FitRider 921]

1. Being a smartass here isn't a way to make yourself very popular.
2. I look over my spelling and grammar and make sure most of everything is proper English everytime I make a post.
3. Why would I make such an effort to look for your age when all you have to do is type out a combination of (hopefully) two numbers, and atleast one of them (hopefully) being a one? It would take a bunch of sifting through your very random posts to find your age, and is not something you would really search for.
4. I like to use numbers.

EDIT: 5. I'm adding you to my ignore list. Be honored, you are the first one to make it to the infamous list. I warned you too- both online, and here.

Actually, that's worked for a few people, including you.

realy

What happened to checking over all of your stuff? Did you naturally forget? I'm 15

[FitRider 921]

I didn't start out as a smartass. I was kind and respectful when I got here and valued other people's opinions and didn't pretend to know everything. Now I drop the hammer (no pun intended) on anything said that I find to be completely ridiculous.

[Fed3ral]

Such as any post made by tmowery18? Can't say I blame you.

[FitRider 921]

I forgot a letter, but chances are, you gave the wrong word and didn't know until it was pointed out. I have a bad keyboard that doesn't always register my keystrokes and there was a letter that was not registered. You don't act like any 15 year old I know.

[gnr rocker]

did you go to the doc today?

[Fed3ral]

If any of that was to me, I totally missed your point.

[FitRider 921]

I went to the doc yesterday, and was planning on taking a picture (and still most likely will, eventually). I am now officially off crutches, and am brace-free. He almost cleared me for sports as well, but said that if I got hit by anything hard in that area, it could possibly break- so he is being cautious.

Tmowery, you have been ignored for being a pain in the ass and I will no longer read your posts.

EDIT: Fed3al: The synapsis is I have a cheap keyboard that doesn't work properly that didn't register a letter (which I have taken the time to go back and edit to fix it), while he most likely just gave the wrong word. The main point is that he acts younger than a 15 year-old.

EDIT 2: Fed3ral: The post was not directed at you.

[gnr rocker]

so he didnt eat your leg?

[MadMan2k]

I disagree, I acted at least as dumb as that when I was 15...

[tmowery18]

I don't want to keep this going but I forgot a letter to, it was the k. However, in all seriousness, I'm sorry that you are a natural athlete and you knew a whole lot about BMX when you first started. I am not a natural at BMX and i dont know a whole lot about it, but I do learn fairly fast. I wasn't intending to ask supid or smartass questions, I was simply trying to learn. If i was asking stupid questions or "being a smartass" you could have messaged me explaining that instead of flaming someone that is new and obviously knows less than you, which would only provoke something like this.

[FitRider 921]

gnr: Nope, he actually gave me some good news for the first time in a long time which didn't involve any pain such as that of rebreaking my leg with his bare hands.

madman: I feel bad for your parents.

word.

[tmowery18]

You told me what I was doing and then kept flaming me on the forums, what am I supposed to do? Sit here and not say anything back to you?. Your mind was already made up. You think I don't act like any 15 year old you know but your being just as immature in the matter as I am. It's going back and forth, we both keep saying things to piss each other off. How am I acting any younger than yourself?

[MadMan2k]

tmowery, I would suggest returning the favor on the ignore list, he seems to have a rash or something with his leg that's making him grumpy and he's taking it out on you...

And that's enough of the flaming, closing this thread.
