Hi!

This is my first build and I would love if members could share their knowledge and wisdom about Mountain Biking with me.

Hope you guys don't mind this post here, because technically it is buying parts for a bike.. I guess it would fall in this category.

I have set up a blog to document my build. In the process to get comments and suggestions from cyclists all around the world. Your comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Here is the link : http://www.mydiymtb.blogspot.com

I need help in choosing parts such as brakes. My frame only works with disc brakes, however I can't seem to find the right disc brakes even though I was recommended Avid Juicy's, I was told not to go for a second hand set. It seems they jam up frequently, does anyone else seem to be having the same problem ? Currently considering to get a set of Avid Juicy's 7 for AUD150-AUD250. Don't know if this is worth investing in a second hand set and would really love to hear from you guys.


Hope to hear from you guys soon.





Cheers!
