Speacialized Hard rock is a very good stunt bike.


my mongoose DXR is VERY stuntable.

I've heard that a coil EX is a good bike too.

most good mtn bikes have V-brakes that are way stronger than what you need/are used to.

same thing, linear pul and V brakes.


a mountain bike with linear pull brakes is more than enough.

most mtnbikes have linear pull brakes, mine does, and they work damn good.

Re: Crank broke

BMX bikes are not good for stunting.




Get a mountain bike or get left behind.

My front disc brake isn't anything like V-brakes. My back isn't predictable like my front is. It doesn't ever feel out of control and it's easy to handle power. No matter how fast you're going you can always count on my disc to give me the power I need and there is no slipping feeling. It's hard to explain really... You have to see it for yourself... Usually you have to pulse V/U brakes but with my disc all I really had to do is find the balance point and hold the brake down and it would do alot of it for me.

I would recommend disc brakes to anyone.

That's the reason I'm trying to find out if there is a way to put my front disc on the back, because everyone knows I'm not too big into endos... Especially after it bent my brand new back rim.

Re: Crank broke

*EDIT* disc brakes will get VERY hot and they take a few seconds to get them warmed up before you ride them. They will be squeaky and won't give you much power before they heat up. Also if they over heat you may feel a slight slipping feeling in the brake power.
