    Everyone know's you have to build your bc.

    The SAS's are the strongest they make, the others are still strong, but
    not as much, however they are lighter.

    If you want a Quality bc, you buy Quality parts and pay a pretty penny
    on them too. If you want a weak, fragile bc, then buy bad, weak parts
    for very cheap. Your choice.

  9. Miles,

    If your planning to hop over stuff, the SAS's arent for you.

    Shur there sexy and sleek with the 48 spokes and the
    powdercalk;av*drool*
    but with a BC, weight is a factor!

    bottom line is, get a MTX

    20"s feel tiny between your feet, they tend to be squirly and not the
    best for learning. 24s have a more rolling rythm and just feel better
    between your legs.

    SAS's are GREAT rims, they are heavy, but you dont want to flatspot a
    rim because you got some light rim. I did this 2 times, I flatspoted a
    Alex dx-32 and a tryall 26".

    don't worry about it.
    evan's got his pants in a knot because he's got to have the best out
    there and spend the most money 'cause he hasn't learned the value of
    the hard-earned dollar.

    don't buy the cheapest parts, but you don't have to go with the most
    expensive,newest,"best" out there. ask around your LBS's and such for a
    good idea as to what is strong and what is not. Just because those guys
    ride two wheels doesn't mean they're stupid, they're a good resource,
    and you may end up getting one interested while you're at it.

    Matt wishes he knew what he was talking about.

    LBS's Know nothing whenit comes to this stuff.

    You want the strongest parts you can afford, Bent stuff is worthless.

    I took the route this young chap is about to take....

    Buy cheap, Bend.

    Buy moderatly strong, Bend.

    Buy strong, It holds.

    It pays off in the long run to save your money and get top of the line
    parts.

  18. 20's arent that bad, evan's just single-minded.
    i learned quick on a 20, never even having tryed a bc, so much having
    seen one before.

    they work just fine for learning.

  19. 20"s aren't hard to learn on, everyone I know has learned on a 20" (even
    Evan). It just feels small and squirley after you have been riding the
    24" for a long time, its like getting used to riding a muni then riding
    a trials uni, it feels tiny and squirly but that doesn't mean noone
    should ever get a trials uni.
    Just pick one size and go with it, if you get used to it then it will
    work fine for you no matter the size.
