I'll weigh in for rigid forks. At the price range you are at, a suspension fork will essentially be a pogo stick on the front of your bike. Save some money and get a rigid fork. If you want a...

Matte black. Matte black is the coolest color. It makes you look like a stealthy ninja. I guess that could be bad, if that's not the look you're going for.

There's a bunch of other ones on Bikeman. Unfortunately none of them are going to be as great a deal as that P2 one. I would suggest ordering it and waiting or you could order that 29er P2 from...

I haven't tried them, but I would avoid a bike coming from a department store and not a bike store. I would assume they are cheaper for a reason. Just my thoughts.

I also have an 8.3 I really like it. I didn't like the front suspension at all though and swapped it for a rigid fork. The tires do most of the absorbing of the bumps anyway. It's a great bike. ...

Yep. I'm also thinking of going a little lower by moving one of my spacers over my stem. The more I ride, the more I'm thinking of adding a road bike to my 8.3. It's a really fun bike, but...

It's about 3 pounds lighter. It feels much better too. Even with the old fork locked out, the old fork had a little bit of movement and sort made a clicking noise when going over a bump. The rigid...

I want 700c for the thinner tires I'm trying to put on. Any good recommendations on some light 700c wheels that are disc compatible and won't break the bank?

I was in your exact same situation with my DS 8.3. With your suspension fork, you'll need a long fork so you don't mess up your geometry. A 29er will probably be the best fit and easier to find...

wheel for disc brakes

I'm interested in getting lighter wheels and tires for my Trek DS 8.3. It has disc brakes and I'm curious as to if I have to get special wheels or if any wheels can be used with disc brakes.
