    HOPE integrated stem crown Fox 40

    I have had the light weight dm stems and they kinda scare me. Maybe its just my history with them but, the overall design from Hope is top notch! Its stiff, light, lil'adjust with the height, sexy, less bolts, ti bolts X6. If it fits you and your ride its a great option.

    Two-piece bottoms brackets: Shimano vs. Race Face X-Type

    I had the same problem in the shop today. The raceface completely locked up on the non-drive side. Also i find the bolt that hlds the raceface together is a bit crappy. Havent had a problem at all with the shimano outboard bbs yet!

    I read that the new bb-crank interface will require 2 new tools for tightening. They saved the weight from getting rid of the pinch bolts. Xtr cranks for dh is kinda scary...

    What do you think of the 2007 GT DHi?

    The derailuer hanger looks a wimpy, but im excited to see if it rides like the ol'idrve which i loved. The carbon seat mass might make it hard to adjust the shock.
