Felt- chasm 08

[fowkesy511]

hey fellow farkers, i am going to be getting into a bit of BMX mainly dirt trails with the odd skatepark. I was wondering what you all think about the Felt Chasm http://feltbmx.com/08/product.asp?catid=1477,1481&pid=8621
i want to spend 400-600 ish recommendations

the eastern range looks quite nice and good value for money

There are so many of these 'what do u think of this......I am going to be doing this and this and maybe some of this...I want the best bike ever but only want tospend peanuts...blah blah blah' threads

i agree ^

either use the fecking search button, or dance down to your local bike shop and ask them you lazy bastards!

All looks pretty standard issue low-mid spec stuff to me; though I'll say now those Felt cranksets are a rather specially shitful item. Bearings they use are rubbish and they'd be suited to anchoring large cargo vessels in heavy storms at their weight, not to mention I'm yet to see a set that doesn't need facing on a machine to get the chainwheel to sit flat and flush. Fail.. Rest looks ok.

^^^^^^^^^ I second that about the cranksets.
I had a felt mystic and the bike seemed to work alright but the cranks are quite the shit.
