Re: torker dx

i have a torker dx 24". I think it is a great uni. Make sure you get the
2005 model. Bicyclesource.us has them for $170 but they take 2 months to
ship. If you get a dx you should buy a gazz or a kenda kollosal(thats
what i have). The dx is a good muni.

As for padding get SixSixOne's

I am really happy with my DX, I have given it quite a bit of abuse and
it is still doing great, I wrote a full review of it in the reviews
section. but I think it is the best your going to find unless your
going to spend quite a bit more money. definitely upgrade the tire for
muni. I also have a kollossal on it, got it for 5 bucks, if Kenda still
has any try and get one of those. If you do lots of muni you might look
at gloves, last week I crashed and peeled the skin off my thumb. not
sure what kind would be good though.

so all you wear are 661's? but are those the ones with the knee pads
too?
what if i just took soccer shin guards and put some padding on the back
then wore reguler knee pads?

shingaurds seem to work sort of. sixsixones are high quality, tohugh,
and are really durable. if you want to sew padding on the back of
shingaurds, go ahead, but I don't know how well it would work.

Also, I like wrist gaurds, especially my harbinger wrist wraps. they're
nice. Kris Holm makes wrist gaurds too, and people seem to think that
they're really nice.

oh yeah, a helmet, too. those are always nice.

I wear the cheap knee/elbow pads for $15 at walmart, and the ankle
braces for $11.88 each at walmart. Every time I break/lose my wrist
guards, the shop has discontinued them, so I just cycle (no pun
intended) through whatever brand they're carrying at the time.
(Currently Pro-Tec, but I liked the Savage gloves better, since they
covered a little bit of my fingers, just enough to offer protection
against getting sore from the handle on my saddle when hopping a lot.)

That's what I do.... it's waaaaaaaaaaaay too hot down here in texas to
be wearing bulky pads, and I just hate the way they feel and how sweaty
and gross they get. So I just wear long pants now; my pedal pins still
scratch me occasionally but it's not a huge deal.

Apearently you didnt search good enough, or the right way, there has
been tons of threads on the DX, MILLIONS in fact.

The DX is great for muni, I would suggest getting a widder DHish tire
somtime, but the K-rad works great, worked for me for a year(before that
I used a schwinn 1 3/4" wide tire, THAT sucked)

Love my DX24. e-bay; $150 new. I wear a helmet and wrist guards.
Should wear shin guards too but I don't. Sometimes I loose a little
blood.
