BMX - Which one?

Should i buy the Hoffman Momentum EL-1 or the DK Signal?

Either bike is excellent... Really.

The EL-1 upgrades the wheelset pretty significantly, but doesn't really offer much else in improvements.

So, it comes down to which frame you like more and if the nicer wheelset is something you want to pay an extra $100.00 for now.

The wheelset that comes with the Momentum is VERY good for flatland and the Nankai freecoaster is pro standard. But, everything else, frame included, is pretty generic.

I would probably get the DK just to have something less expensive to try out and save the hundred bucks for upgrades later on. I am working on getting DK to send me one for testing so I can fully evaluate the bike out of the box. But, no word back from them yet.

You want them to give u one for free, wat would u do after u used it, keep it?

I think that i will go with the DK Signal. if i order it form flatlandfuel.com do they put together all the hard or would i have a hard time finishing the bike up?

no when u buy a complete bike usually all u have to do is put the handlebars, the front wheel, and i think thats it, thats all i had to put together on the last bike i ordered before my mirra flair, they dont make it hard, otherwise they get bad feedback

when i e-mailed him he said that I will have to install the front wheel, pegs, pedals, seat, handlebars and brake cables. im not sure if any of that is hard to do.

no thats not hard, if your ok with tools, all you really need is a socket wrench, some allen wrenches, a 9/16 wrench, a small wrench for tightening the chain tensioners, and a wrench for whatever size the axle nuts are (srry i forgot wat size wrench u need for the axle nuts) id say thats it, socket wrench for installin the pegs and tightening up the back wheel, a 9/16 wrench for the pedals, allen wrenches for tigtening the seat post clamp and maybe even the seat, thats it

thanks. are brake cables hard to install?

Typically the brake cables are already run, you just have to hook them up to the levers, or just install the levers. Not actually run the cables from scratch.

I am not sure whether DK would let me keep the bike after testing. I am also not exactly sure what I would do with it after I was done. If I was to keep it, then I would do a raffle or something to give it away on the site probably.

ya but how would they think u were a pro or someone testing the bike, how would they think u were anyone diff than me, and where would u post your results at?

thanks for the help

ya but how would they think u were a pro or someone testing the bike, how would they think u were anyone diff than me, and where would u post your results at?
Because everyone in the flatland industry... mostly... knows who I am.

and if I gave the bike away in a raffle it would be hosted at www.bmxtrix.com and the results would be at www.bmxtrix.com... Duh! ;)

so whats ur name and what did you do to get known, ride in tournaments or what?

Read the History section on www.bmxtrix.com

You were not necessarily going to know which is why I posted with the links. It is also why after saying 'DUH!' I put a ;) winking smiley face so nobody who didn't know the site would take it seriously.

So seriously... chill! :D
