sorry to butt in, but da bomb rims are heavier than DX32's yup i agree. with your weight at 120lbs., DX32s are already fine with you...  even the singletracks are also a good choice...  just my 2 cents.... |

[glow=yellow,10,300]Well, I think you guys are goin' for the issue of lighter rims. I bought da bomb coz' I've bent most of my rims. I was leaning towards double track but I know I'll destroy it. My 2nd option was Mavic 321 (which I think is the best and lighter, but more expensive). I end up buying Da Bomb which cost P1,500 each and still holds true. I always compensate on additional grams for wheelsets, forks, cranks, B.B.s and frames for my riding style and 200lbs body coz I don't want accidents caused by equipment failures. So it's up to you guys to evaluate your preferences... Im just suggesting tough parts for value. [/glow] |

hi guys!!! I'm trying to build an all-purpose bike, one that i can use for a bit of travelling and heavy urban punishing with dirt jumping. here are the parts line-up i've thought of so far.... Frame: SC Chameleon or DaBomb XLR8R Fork: Marzo z1 DO or Fox Vanilla (depends on budget, really) Hubs: XT or hybrid (DaBomb rear and XT front) Rims: Sun Single Track Pwede na kaya yan? Can it stand abuse? I want it to be as light as possible sana....I weigh 120lbs or so. Your thoughts and suggestions will be highly appreciated!!! This is a very good setup..actuall hi-end na sya esp on the frame and fork side..for dirt jumping platform that is For a 120lbs rider you will never be ablte to destroy this bike unless you hit more than 40ft of air ;D comment ko lang, dont like the choice of rims though..go with ALEX, mura na matibay pa! ;D |

alex DX32 user here ;D i weigh 170 lbs and use my bike as hard as i can and it holds up very well.
about the weight between the da bomb da rim -vs- alex, the latter is lighter, i was about to buy the darim but i noticed that the DX32 was lighter, cheaper, and is really tough ;D although the da bomb is as equally tough, it depends on weight and price preference for the consumer
besides, Alexrims won't get Norco's endorsement as their recommended rims for nothing ;D

that's a hi-end setup indeed, i swear by your choice of fork, the Z1 drop off, will definitely hold it's own, but i second Bullit, get the alexrims instead of the single track (my apologies to those who pay homage to single tracks ;D)
i once got info of a santa cruz chameleon (one of my dream HT's) and it's a shade under 20k, expensive for a HT, the xlr8r is just way half the price of the chameleon, even less when there's a good second hand (i think raven's selling one for 6k, a steal in it's price) and is also a diecast HT frame hehehe
anyway yoyee, it's your call which do you prefer, at any rate that setup's gonna kick a** ;D

Alien and tenacious, do you think the Imperial is worth the price? Why say so?  I mean it looks great with the semi-monocoque design, strudy plus good geometry! but HELLoo alost Php40K for a hardtail?  kasi sa US market normal lang and price nya compared to SC chameloen/Jackal, Specialized P3, Banshee Morphine, Orange DJ, Kona Kowan, Yeti DJ etc..kasi all of them are at the $500 US markup.. pero for the prices we get HT frames here its too much!!! Isn't it?  |

i think DX32 are lighter than da bomb!!!!! i second the DX32!!! Lighter than dabomb rims! so what's the point of getting dabomb rims while they are more expensive!!! Believe it or not i have 4 pairs of DX32's kasi nagkaroon ng shortage sa stock b4, kaya nag stock up ako..hehe! ;D They are the last rims i will ever go for |

Malate DJ comming from Quirino Ave is after SOGO and in front of Ambasador hotel (is that name correct). Its covered in some roofing material like asbestos. There is a gate in the left (facing it).
I believe people come there every afternoon and mornings on weekends.

even the singletracks are also a good choice...
