you think scott yz15 is a good bike for this kind of use???

[oldskoolbmx]

@javaleira well, to start riding yes, more the 15 than the 35. but to handle bigger jumps and drops: no. because of the components (forks, rims, stems, bars, brakes, if you need them ; ) .... take 1000€ and there are a lot of quite good dirtbikes with good components in the market that can handle a little abuse ; )

@oldskoolbmx wich bikes with 1000 euro would you suggest?? im wondering if the scott voltage yz15 is worth 540 euros.... the shifting is acera and altus....

its the worst shimano stuff lol.....

scott yz15 vs gt chucker 3.0.... wich one would u get for an all mountain/dirt bike??

[oldskoolbmx]

@javaleira all mountain- ? dirt bike? now you're mixing up sth. an all mountain bike is a full-suspension (120-140mm rear-travel) tour-bike and rather not suitable for freeriding. a dirt bike is a very rugged hardtail or 100mm fullsuspension "jump-bike". for my kind of riding i would suggest a 160-200mm freeride-bike. that i'm doing that with a dirtbike is just a "spleen" of me.

[javaleira]

is it single speed?

[oldskoolbmx]

@javaleira  no, sram x-9

Nice! I would've crashed my butt during those big roots -_- in the ground, i like the jumps tho, not too high (for me :P)

@javaleira the 15 is a great starter, the frame is fairly tough but the standard wheels and forks and bars are terrible. I started with that bike and the only thing i have remaining is the saddle, the breaks and the gear shifters, everything including the frame has been swapped out. I now have a YZ0 Ltd frame, society forks, shimano Saint cranks, DMR DV wheels, and truviative bars.

I broke the forks, the cranks, the bottom bracket and the wheels by pushing it hard.
