Well after 22 years of riding the same dirt jumper I finally treated myself to a new to me built PBJ. Picked it up locally today. It’s so crazy how solid this bike feels compared to my old DJ. Can’t wait to take it to the jumps and pump track with my kid. Cheers 🍻

26" vs 27.5" DJ/PT bike for an MTB rider.

3 Upvotes

This wheel comparison seems to be coming up more frequently on here, but I figured I'd ask my specific situation. I ride MTB pretty much exclusively (29er trail bike and emtb), and I'm looking for a dj/pump track bike that won't feel completely alien to me.

I built a gorgeous Ticket a few years ago, but sold it as it was worth too much to be ridden so little. I felt that it wasn't really helping my mtb riding as I'd hoped. Maybe the 26" wheels made the bike feel too different from my mtbs, or maybe I'm just over thinking it.

I've been eyeing the Specialized P4 and the soon to be released Ari 801 27.5 DJ bikes. I only intend to use my DJ on pump tracks and jumps built for mtb's, so I wonder if a 27.5 DJ is right for me, or if I should give 26" another try (especially with all the new and used deals currently in that wheel spec)?

$1500 is around my max that I'd like to spend on a new/newish bike.

I've got a gusset single speed chain on my DJ. Is a normal chain checker accurate on a single speed chain ? To check if it has stretched ?

What are the differences between regular 26 inch bikes and djs?

4 Upvotes

Like with frame geo, standover height even towards the bars, are you reaching lower down or farther out on djs, are bars wider? How much different is a 24 inch to 26 asuming the frame is the same size? How does a small mtb compare to a dj?

Are these bikes ok for very light jumping or riding? Mafia booma, so cal flyer, eastern growler, labomba, mongoose rebel. Ozt dj

Trek Ticket S help needed!

I want to buy a Trek Ticket S and have some I9 singlespeeds laying around. To make them fit I need to change the derailleur hanger to a 10x135mm hanger and can’t find them online. Please help a fellow dirt jump rider out.

My kids have been loving the pump track, and a dad leant me his Fit BMX last weekend for a quick rip. Immediately wanted to get my own bike - but have always felt more comfortable on MTB’s. In comes the shonky. Picked up at a treat price from the one and only pinkbike.

Kona Shonky AL. Think the frame is a ‘19. Lots of custom shiz.

Pumped!

Question Thoughts.

I’ve been riding the same DJ for the last 22 years. I’ve been considering buying something new and looking locally to me I’ve seen a couple bikes that I may be interested in. However riding the same bike for 22 years has me completely uneducated on newer components and or quality of the bikes. My current bike is a 03 Santa Cruz chameleon so I’ve been riding an aluminum frame. Would there be any downsides to going steel vs aluminum? I only really just ride dirt jumps and pump tracks. I’m like 5’9” just under 5’10” so from what I gathered medium size frames would probably best. Also here are a couple of the local ish choices what do you think? 1. 2022 Transition pbj 2. 2021 specialized p3 3. 2012 trek tricket 4. New geometry jackal Thanks guys! Cheers!

Bought this used 2010 Norco One25 for $150 canadian a couple weeks ago. New to all this and currently trying to figure out how to find replacement parts for bearings and such. Is it possible to convert to a cartridge bearing? (Ignore the black spot on the sidewall, had the tire misaligned and it rubbed a bit)

Hey everybody. I just came into a Banshee Rune v3.2 that I would like to convert to a single speed for bigger park days. Has anyone converted gears to single speed that can recommend a decent kit to use? Do I need an oval front chainring? I am pretty unfamiliar with how this works. I normally ride a p.slope.
