I'm building up an urban/dirt jumping bike and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? My plans are as follows:
Frame: Da bomb CR8 (deffinate)
Fork: Marzocchi DJ3 (deffinate)
Drive train: sram x.7 with raceface evolve dh cranks
Disc Brakes: Hayes hfx-9 or maguras?
Wheels: alex extreme fr/ jumping rims, xt IS disc hubs, 14g 3 cross spokes, brass nipples
Tires: 2.35 or 2.5's? I dont know on this one, and which ones? I was thinking kenda tomac nevegal dh?
Tubes: any difference between dh tubes other than thickness?
Others: for the seatpost, stem, bar, seat, grips, etc anything I can afford
These are my thoughts as of now, but Im just breaking into the sport so Id like to know if I have a good set up. Thanks!
Keep the rubber side down
