xt cranks with a 28t ring and a SMT chain guide on the way
12x27 dura ace cassette (with the 28t ring its perfect for street)

nah, just to keep everything together and looking cleaner. its actually alot worse then cable rub haha, but i got like 6 frame saver patches there now so yeah should be fine.XSL_WiLL said:
as far as the MTX's go i love them. i havent really touched them at all since i built them. but i dont really weigh anything and the highest these guys have fallen from is like 5 or 6 feet. they get lots of lateral abuse though and have held up perfectly.

That cable wrap is actually a good idea! I got a crapload of cables in the front of my bike, I might look into that idea....zerossix said:

i got it straight from SIC. im assuming the guy your talking about is peter. hes an awesome guy and should hook you up if you tlak to him at all. they're awesome to deal with in general and their parts are amazing too. especially for us here in VA i ordered my stuff and it was here the next day. the pike i got at cost cause i work at a shop here in arlington, which i wont tell you what is, but you can pm if you really wanna know or need a hand with anything.OneBlueJoker said:
as far as single speed goes, ive thought about it some and decided its more hassle then its worth. i ride a fair amount of trials and stuff on this thing too and like to have the versitility of gears.
the XT cranks are awesome, ive never felt them flex at all. as ive stated before i dont weigh a whole lot (145 usually) but yeah i love them i may put em on my DH bike for next season too. external bb systems are the way to go definitely.
