So Jozz, what size bottom bracket do I need to buy now?

and for front derailleur, it says "The Moto Lite requires a 27.2mm seatpost and a 31.8mm top-swing, dual-pull front derailleur."

will this fit? http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?SKU=20019&subcategory_ID=5110

What does DUAL PULL front mean?

You need a 73mm shell BB, as far as spindle lenght, I'm running a 118mm and Karine a 113mm, the chainline and front shifting seems better on Karine's bike.

You need a top pull front D, and don't worry about size diameter, noadays Shimano XT front D is universal with all sorts of shims that come with it (people correct me if I'm wrong)

MtnBikerChk,

I would suggest using Go-Ride.com for your outfitting of the new bike. They are strong supporters of the DH race scene, they are an actual brick-and-mortar shop, their staff are quite knowledgeable and very friendly, and their pricing is very competitive.

Disclaimer: I am not one of their employees, and I am not related to or friends with any of their employees. I am simply someone who has bought frames and parts from them over the past 2 years, and have been very satisfied with them.

Thanks. I really only need the bottom bracket and front derailleur

They told me on the phone 73x118 and they are sending spacers just in case.

I want a sram D. Will the xgen fit?

SRAM is just a fad!

Me not know anything about the X-Gen...

LMAO!

On this bike, the only shimano part will be the crankset. And that will be phased out!

I think she should buy all of her parts from Benidorm bikes in Canton, CT. She LOVES that store!
