sounds like a good plan. so are you usng it for freeride?
if it was me, i wouldn't get juicy brakes - i have juicy 3's and haven't had a good experience with them, and most other people don't like them. if i were you i'd get avid elixirs with 203/185 rotors front and rear. a set of elixir 5's is £135, elixir's are pretty much the same but more adjusment- they are £160

The avids are the only brakes im really keen on tbh, dont like the look of any others lol.
Well wanting to do abit of downhill, etc but mainly using for a runabout and going out on it with the mrs. I did have a nice jump setup sidekick but it got robbed and thats what made me go for another dmr but wanting something abit more hardcore, i may look at building a full sus after this too but most of my money gets spent on my car.

ok, fair enough. elixirs are avids too - and look good

Im building it along thses sort of line as this is a awesome bike.

Do you think the spec i am wanting would be a good setup? What do you think to the forks i have?

jay12

you forks will be fine. as james said get yourself some avid elixir 5s. they are bloody good. i am very impressed with mine

jsdvtr03

Im going to run it on single speed for abit at first unless get gearing setup with everything else at same time as hoping to get it finished next month as ordering seat, headset, rear brake, front tire, grips, chain and maybe a few other bits this week

Thinking of building a stab deluxe, supreme too or 222,223 or maybe just a stinky.
