Those muddy mary's are heavy. He needs small block eights or micro knobbies or something...
carbon cranks for DH? I know carbon is much stronger now, but smashing it against rocks can't be a good thing, right?
I was a show off build on Eurobike on Canfield booth.

It had Schmolke full carbon saddle and seatpost, foam grips and Schwalbe Freeride (1,5ply) tires.

No thankyou
It's all super light but I don't see anything un-raceable for most riders. OK, maybe those grips, yikes.
I've been rocking foam easy grips for ages now, never had one come off(yet).
But white is faster
Sam Hill used carbon cranks at the worlds, MBA called them Descender carbon, i betcha they're XO arms with a longer spindle. The XO arms aren't stupid light, and probably really strong. They are all mountain afterall
I've been really geeking out on lightweight cranks for my trail bike.. I ended up with the new XTR Trail. According to the Internetz Race Face Sixc is "lighter than XTR and 30% stronger" I picked XTR (20g heavier) just because i like the spindle interface, but it looks like carbon cranks are making big leaps foreward.
Carbon cranks are expensive, and may look like crap after a few seasons but for elite level racers (or builds).... I wonder if Race Face or Sram will offer them in 83 anytime soon.

Whyever did they stop making them?race face had a set of carbon cranks in the urly 2000's.
I knew someone with a set.
these next lp carbon

carbon cranks have been around longer then most of you think thats all.
I have a set in blue laying around if you want emWhyever did they stop making them?
A bike came in with those the other day and one of the pieces of carbon was falling out. I was guessing for years they were just carbon stickers but it took 10 yrs for one to fall off. The sticker was real, 2mm thick carbon fiber though!
If anyone wants to buy the bike it is now on German Ebay

Damn thats a hell of a bike... Not a fan of carbon cranks and post or foam grips but thats personal opinion... Whats the conversion for the buy it now... Im too lazy to google and think...
crazy thing is they could make it even lighter. Raw frame and links, carbon bars, Vivid Air, lighter stem.
replacing every standard bolt with a ti one would drop it to sub 30 me thinks
Today 5500 euro = $6781,51 USD according to todays currency,keep in mind the starting price to bid is 5500 so it can go up if people place their bids on this bike
Yes with those upgrades it will deffinitly drop under 30lbs
Talk about going on a diet!
From 61 to 31

But it was cool in person it had twin top tubes.
But his breaks sucked a$$.
VM
I did, Judy red with isis.
I don't miss those days.
I just noticed it has the Kit carbonio saddle, I have one of those on my new 29er, I would how long it is going to last.

Did this bike win the WC yet? Its light, so....thats it right? 
Definitely interesting that in making an ultralight build they didn't spec a vivid air.
Slap some gustavs on bender's bike and it completes the old school freehuck beast package.
