Too heavy?? 15kg is allright.. my bike was 17.1kg with the boat anchor DJ3s on it.
Its down to about 15.5 now and when I put the 26" wheel on the back, which is really light, it should go under 15.

Far out man that looks painfull. Is that a bmx bottom bracket or mtb.
If bmx I have good kranks & cromo shaft that won't brake Im not using.

My season ended this week. Alfter prcticing for DH race last weekend I must have tweeked my good knee (didn't realize ar time) but the day after I was getting strong shooting stabing pains through my knee as I walled.
Dosn't look good as this pain is caused buy over extending the knee joint which mean a ligament tear of somekind will be seeing specialist soon.
dam knees

hmm.. euro bb shell too.
maybe some DMR Cheiftains.
tubular crmo is probably more suited to your needs than forged alloy.

They are square section CrMO BMX cranks, with a BMX spindle in euro BB with press fit bearings.

He was landing with barely a noise from his bike, was smooth as.
He ended up doing it 6-7 times.

this thread looks like more fun than i can possibly imagine...

i got a cheap mtb for daily commuting (about 15kms a day) and i love it!
but i cant even jump it up to the kerb! i find this strange, seeing as how when i was much younger on my old mtb i could do some crazy shit (for a girl) and used to ride some decent trails.
it could just be the 10 or so kilos in the rear basket, or...

i cant do stuff like than anymore because im puny 🙁

my best friend is currently trawling ebay to put together a downhill bike... all on my credit card.
he had better let me ride it when its finished 😀
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Nice one.
I hate jumps where i can't see the landing from take off.

I munched my foot 2 weekends ago on a 6 foot drop so decided to upgrade my bike for next race. (if I can't ride it I like to play in the shed)

Got new FSA cranks, E thirting chain device, X9 trigger & der, pro tapper bars and SIC stem (bolts to top of boxxer crown).
Im not doing this cause I just have shit loads of cash but everything is just flogged out so bad on my bike as it hasent been replaced for a few years.

Didn't now how i was going to perform this year so I put off upgrading untill I new it was worth it. Last race I was in the top 3 of my grade again (vets) and just missed the top 20 by a few seconds. So with more time on the bike and luck I may make it.

Also Im having problems posting pics of cranks shall I just email them ?

Cheers Nige

Another to give some perspective
Its a road gap over that 4wd track.
