Going rigid?

[inkdwheels]

IM seriously considering getting a dmr trailblade 2. I know the whole "just get a bmx" argument, but I don't want one.I've done the bmx thing and the rigid single speed xc thing. I like the feeling of control I get from riding rigid. Right now I have a z1 lowered to 80mm and it feels good when I hop off of something, but I get sketched out when I hop onto something, especially something narrow.

Anyone ever ridden it?
DOes anyone have the weight for the dmr fork? OR know where I can order one in the US?

Hmmm, I know that www.go-ride.com sells dmr frames, they can probably get you the fork. www.unrealcycles.com used to sell them, but he is going out of business, and selling his inventory. You may want to call him and see if he still has any.....otherwise BTI is the US distributor for dmr, so most shops should be able to order you one.

Go to your LBS. They can order it from an assortment of catalogs.

Try universalcycles.com, bikeparts.com or your lbs. I am thinking about getting the same fork for my bike. I cant find the weight anywhere.

I cant find the weight anywhere."Fairly Light" Actually I happen to have the pertinent issue of Dirt to hand - They weigh 1665g - 3.67lbs with the clamp-thru axleand IS disk mount. Dirt called them "the strongest possible forks that could ever grace the front end of a bike".

looks like almost any local bike shop should be able to order one up for you, since BTI-USA carries DMR.

At the moment it looks like they have both the Trailblad 2 rigid 20mm fork (http://www.bti-usa.com/list.asp?cat=FK&sec=FKRM&mfr=DM&page=&reuse=1&showSec=1&filter=&searchtype=&showGrp=DM3841#DM) and the Trailblade rigid QR fork (http://www.bti-usa.com/list.asp?cat=FK&sec=FKRM&mfr=DM&page=&reuse=1&showSec=1&filter=&searchtype=&showGrp=DM3851#open) in stock

support your LBS!

Sweet, Looks like i won't have to buy them online. I heard the same weight around 1.7kg. Lighter than my Z1 by far. Thanks for the help.
