Im going to sell my current urban bike and build one up to be light and more street oriented. im new to all of the bmx parts so im going to post up what i want to get and you guys should make suggestions if i should get something that would be lighter or better in anyway
so here we go

Frame 2008 NS capital frame red
Fork 2006 fox van 32 lowered to 70ish (450 A/C height)
Hubs demolition bolemia rear and mary kate front
Rims alienation black sheep 24" rims
tires schwalbe table tops
brakes avid speed dial ti lever, linear cable, xtr v brake
Cranks we the people royale cranks with ti spindle
Pedals wellgo mg-1
bars ns district high 3.4" rise
stem atomlab pimplite, rather do a light bmx
chain kmc 710sl
seat very light pivotal seat, which one is the lightest
post pivotal
grips BMX, not sure which ones
spindle profile 23t

so there it is, the stuff in red is the stuff that i am willing to take advise on and change, like i said up above i want a light build. it will be mostly for streets but no gaps or drops to flat. mainly just messing around.

dont use the blacksheep rims, get the runaways. welded and machined is much much better

shy away from the demo rear hub. get a shadow v2, or a profile. or a ratchet if it comes out.

^ I agree with the staying away from the demo rear. Primo or Shadow will do you very well! Ive witnessed countless Demo's die.

I actually prefer the the LX brakes with XTR lever over the XTR. However I like a little more on/off. The XTR's have more progressive feel.

WTP cranks are nice. I got the Demos 7 months ago and love them too! Very light.

Good luck with the build! Sounds rad either way you go.

Any particular reason why?
I'm in the market too.

Federal slim SL seat w/ cut poverty post is light and cheap.

thanks guys, ill look into the other hubs you mentioned.

withe the runaway rims, are they as strong? they are only 500 grams. im still learning spins so i need a strong rim, especially in the rear.

demo hubs just suck. there's a reason they're so cheap.
