- 26'' isn't dead! With the increasing emergence of bike parks and pump tracks across the country, dirt jump bikes are becoming more and more popular. Many riders are starting to see the benefit of owning a dirt jumper, whether for building skills, spending more time with friends and family members, or just finding a new avenue to have some fun on two wheels, dirt jumpers are proving their usefulness and versatility.
Many of us, including myself, are hopping onboard and picking up a DJ to add to our stable of bikes for a brand new way to have fun. There are many aspects of DJ riding that can be confusing to new riders so we figured that it would be a good idea to drop some tips here.

Oh man. The raw sound of post-crash agony.
Almost enough to bring a tear to your eye...
That was horrible and funny at the same time!! Been there!
it's the worst when your pedal goes full circle into your shin and you get sent off your bike. it's almost enough to make you pass out.@@DanosGarage
It’s such a horrible avoidable sound. Been there two many times 😂
Agree 100% on first upgrade for ANY bike. Contact points and handle bars!
Love from the UK.. this video deserves more love ❤
great video I'm new to Dj and I'm in love. I've Rhode bmx my whole life. I'm hooked!
Can't speak to that model Manitou, but my Manitou Mastodon don't need no sashimi !!!
You think a Menifee bikepark is good for business, try having one in Corona right near the the Jenson shop!
Right.
Want super strong wheels for Dirt Jump? Have 'Stoic Wheels' out of Portland build you a set, if you don't have someone in your area that can..
Wheels? Looking to upgrade the wheels on my bike, but hard to find anything DJ specific. Any recommendations? One thing I'm still not sure on is what size rear hub (spacing). I have a 2022 Commencal Absolut.
Looks like your Absolut is 20x110mm front and 9x135mm rear, which seems to be somewhat hidden for some reason. The Spank Spoon 32s seem to be a go-to for a lot of DJs so you might want to take a look in that direction. All of our 26'' products usually fly off the shelf so we don't have any readily available, but keep your eyes on the site because we've been getting a lot of new 26'' products in lately.

Hello from Brazil! Is this handlebar is 50mm or 80mm?
They're both using 80mm Deity Highside bars
Good afternoon, how are you?
I have a problem and I need your help. Here in Brazil, some things in terms of bicycles are very difficult to find. I have two Mountain bikes, on one of them I intend to remove the suspension and put a rigid fork. Here in Brazil I have a lot of difficulty finding the right fork for sale. I wanted this fork to be tapered, boost, and thru-axle. I wanted a fork at the same height as the suspension so as not to change the geometry of the bike.
The suspension on this bike is the Manitou Machete Comp 29 with a 110 x 15 mm axle (BOOST). I can't find the right specs for this suspension online. I already searched a lot.
Do you sell the correct rigid fork for this bike? It can be aluminum or another material, whichever is cheaper. I think a carbon fork would be too expensive to import to Brazil, but if you have it in carbon, you can tell me the price too. If you have the right fork for this bike, with features to maintain good geometry/height, could you give me the link to those forks?
Do you ship to Brazil?
Thank you very much for your help, even if I can't buy from you guys. I apologize for so many questions, but I can't buy the wrong fork, an exchange would be complicated.
If you guys don't have this type of fork and can recommend other stores in the US, I'll get in touch with them.
My best regards,
Achilles L Moreaux
I can´t find an email on your website. I would like to send pictures of my bike and fork😊
How's it going? I went through the site and found some options that look like they might work, but they are pricey and shipping will tack onto that cost. www.jensonusa.com/search?is=true&q=rigid+fork
If you also visit this page and click on any one of the Gear Advisor photos, you will see a box on the right hand side of the screen that will allow you to leave an e-mail with all of your information attached to it where one of our GA's will be able to reach out to you directly and help you sort out the information you're trying to find. They're extremely knowledgeable and will get back to you ASAP! www.jensonusa.com/gear-advisors
@@jensonusabicycles Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help.
@@jensonusabicycles I had looked at these options, but I don't know exactly what to buy, so I need guidance and really, these forks will probably get me here for more than 3 times the price. I'm afraid to risk it and end up paying the price of a bicycle on a fork...lol
Your store isn’t working for me. When I go to order and click place order it just spite me back out to the home page and the items still in my cart. Got an email saying thanks for your recent purchase, but never a confirmation email. Using a gift card.
I'll pass this along to the right party today and see if they can figure out what is going on. Thank you
Do you have an e-mail that we can contact you at or an order number? This has gone up the chain and we're looking to get this solved. You can also contact a Gear Advisor directly who can get your order handled and we can figure out root issue that way. www.jensonusa.com/gear-advisors
26" isnt dead, what does that mean? 26" wheels? Frame? Getting back into it after 12 years
26'' wheels, not very common anymore outside of dedicated dirt jumpers.
Ya most people like a lot bigger wheels like 29” my dj has 27.5” and I think it’s a great size for tall riders like me
6:06 Fox 36 831 Discontinued, Fox no longer make 26" forks
We're fully aware... sad, but its close relative, the Marzocchi Bomber DJ is always available. We sold through the rest of our stock pretty quickly, but every once in a while you can still come across a private party selling a new-in-box 831 that they had tucked away for a rainy day.
i wanna buy a Dmr Sect should i for 500 euro
Your call, it's your money to be spending so if it's worth it to you, do it. I will say, I absolutely think owning a DJ is worth it... some of the most enjoyable riding you can do!
I pump hard
DTH not made for pumptrack?????? Literally won BMX Olympic and World titles
please get a full face for dj, trust me getting bucked and landing on your face is not fun
Wth Is this an ad for brain injuries??🙃🙃
26" wheels blow chunks, BTW enter me into the Christmas giveaway things please.
