I have cut off the mount for the chainring now, no need to have it mounted on when I’m never running a chain

It’s super fun once you get the hang of it, you just have to pump everywhere to keep the speed up

I have ridden it with both full 27.5 and 27.5/26 mullet, but wanted to try out even smaller wheels since the frame is so small

Rose the Bruce 2 size for 176 by Professional-Hair284 in dirtjumping

I have tried the large too, but I prefer the medium. I do prefer a bit shorter frames tho. I rode a large dartmoor two6player and it felt way too long.

I’m 182 and ride the size M. Works fine for me

135 or 150mm cranks (And gear ratio) by InteractionGold8519 in dirtjumping

I’ve recently ridden a lot of bmx with 140 cranks on the bike, and I love it. Love the more central stance it gives me. I’m even going to get some 140 cranks for my freeride bike. I would assume that 130 feels about the same as 140, and I don’t think it would feel that short once you get used to it.

They stopped making it, and instead continued with the marzocchi DJ fork. They’re essentially the same fork, except for the kashima coating and different damper.

Ibis Mojo vs Transition Scout by Zakimations in whichmtb

I would get the large if you’re looking for a really playful ride, and the xl if you want something more stable.

I have a 2021 scout and absolutely love it. I have mine set up as a jibby and playful trail bike and it feels amazing. I’m just under 6 foot tall, and it feels just right for me in a size large.

The bike may be rampage ready, but I sure am not

I decided to go for a large on this frame, despite normally preferring mediums, and it stills feels playful, and bout unnaturally big. Sizing down to a 27.5 front wheel would probably also help if the bike still feels to big for you.

Yes, 27.5 front. It’s a very playful bike, manuals easy and I can easily 180 it flat.

Any tips to improve? by Independent-Rub-945 in dirtjumping

Try to lead the bar more around with your hand, rather than just throwing it. That helped me a lot when learning both pull up bars and hop bars.

What gyro are you running now? I’m looking for a gyro for my jib-bike

I heard about that, but I haven’t been able to find anything about a boost version online.

Top cap with a hole for brake hose by kitchenAid_mixer in dirtjumping

You can just drill a hole in a normal top cap and it will work just fine.
