cant decide >.<
 

So as i stated before in some other thread i cannot find, my bikes to small, being new and loving it im just going to get a new frame and fork for it. Just cannot decide which one to buy, budget is around 300 for each. Now as you may know i do dirt jumping. But im also starting freeride and some trails so im not too sure what to get. Ive been looking at the ns b itc h and the ns surge 2 . What do you guys think will work better. Im still sane so i dont plan on going of 40 foot drops. Sure ill go for some 10 footers but these frames will hold fine. Just what one do you guys think is better for me, also if you have any other frames that would suit me well feel free to mention it. That being written, i have no idea on what forks are good, i can stretch to 350 if the frame is 300, if lower then the difference. So guys thanks for the help.

I'm no expert, but Jenson has the RS Domain on sale for $350. Has the Maxle, so you'd have to change your hub if you want to use it.

just might be me but those forks seem pretty heavy, 6 pounds, the tora is around 4 if im not mistaken, was looking at that fork.

Tora's got a lot less travel than the Domain. Domain's freeride, while the Tora is either all-mountain or XC, depending on which version you're looking at. You're also going to have to decide if you want a freeride or a DJ fork. Freeride forks have more travel than DJ's, which are usually between 80-100mm. I know next to nothing about freeride forks, but the DJ forks to look at are the Rock Shox Argyle, Marzocchi 4x, and Marzocchi Dirt Jumper series (DJ1 and one version of DJ2 is TA, while the other version of DJ2 and DJ3 are QR).

I think all the free ride forks are going to be heavy. The Tora is a low travel trail fork, which is not really what you'd need.

I think ive come down to these forks
the domian listed above ( it is too much travel for the bi tch frame, from what their recommendation says) so it looks good for the surge.

but this fork does seem to fit the bi tch frame

as for dirt jumping, cant i just adjust the travel on the fork, not sure about the 55r though......

a little bit out of my budget but if i go with the surge frame for this i can fit it in.



Now im also loking at my bike online at norco and i find this

What the heck is this, i got the new norco 09, this "havoc" doesnt even have marzocchi dj forks like mine. Im freaking confused here. What happened to the original 09?

This is the one i bought
