    Let's talk bashrings.

    I understand that it does slide, but the massive strength factor seems like it would be a big plus for me for the following reasons: -strong so when i hit stuff hard in my beginner-ish manner, i don't have to worry about it -good for urban (??) since that's where i'd probably be riding most...

    Has anyone weighed their Azonic 454 cranks&BB?

    Wow! That's a pretty heavy HT. I think my DJ hardtail weighs less than that, with just about the heaviest parts I can find (2.5lbs for the rear rim alone, for example)

    Has anyone weighed their Azonic 454 cranks&BB?

    So true. I weighed my BigHit the other day, and it was 42lbs or so. No excuses for that weight with a single crown fork! But yes, those cranks will never fail while I'm still strong enough to hold onto the bars...

    Has anyone weighed their Azonic 454 cranks&BB?

    Just wondering about the weight on these puppies. They seem rather heavy. If not, I'll weigh my setup sometime next week. Just trying to get an idea of whether or not it's worth going to a Hussefelt/Sealex combo to drop some weight.

    So, continuing the bashguard discussion... What about an Evil 36t-max supercharger? Pros/cons?

    Chains

    Now you've got me pondering the Dura-Ace 8spd cassette, RX600 short-cage 8spd rear mech, and XT 8spd shifter we have sitting at the shop... hmm... :) I think we have a PC-58 in stock, as well.

    New tires

    IRC BackCountry 26x2.25 WTB MotoRaptor 26x2.4 WTB VelociRaptor 26x2.1 Michelin Hot S 26x2.2 All of the ^^above^^ are good "agressive" XC tires... a bit wider than the norm, and non-paper-thin casing... basically good for dropping the pressure a bit and railing some trails... :)

    Let's talk bashrings.

    This is so not a trials thread. My apologies. Actual trials question: has anyone tried the Alex DX-32 (AKA Planet X BMF) as a rear rim? It's uber-wide (37mm or something), cheap, machined braking surface, and kinda cool lookin. Also fairly heavy...

    Let's talk bashrings.

    yeah, the long and the short of it is... 1) buy two bashrings, 34t-max is probably the biggest you can go without spacing them WAY out 2) get some chainring spacers 3) set up your single ring in the outer-ring position of your crankarm 4) put one bashguard in the middle-ring position...
