paolo Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 But that's a cruiser bmx (24" bmx) and not a 24" mountain bike, so everything is bmx on it, 48 spoke wheels, the gear ratio is totaly bmx, 14mm axles... Not that it's bad in itself, considering you're on a trials forum, if you want to slowly modify it to be a bit more trialsy. It will be very hard to upgrade stuff with mtb/trials parts as they won't fit with the bmx parts. But if you want to put HS 33s and a smaller gear ratio, that shouldn't be much of a problem, but if you want to make it lighter and run disk brakes, you're going to have some problems...

Fishy Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 They are f**king heavy. Feel like tanks, but you'd get used to it pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 The 247 Slacker is a sexy bike, they are £600 though so out of your budget - saving up for it would be wise if you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well first of, what kind of riding do you want to do? Riders who you like their riding and would inspire yours ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
