Soon as you get your titanium knees dialed in.

Just watch that chainring overlap or strike on the corners.

And it's got knobbies! I know, I know, it's the first every downhill-specific bike!

I'm seriously considering making up a chainring from some of these templates and running something like 64t/23t, assuming I can fit it with the chainstay (though its an old frame, I wouldn't mind 'modifying' the chainstay if necessary.

If I could find track cogs bigger than 23t, I'll do even more. Supposedly cassette cogs come in up to 34, but I haven't seen them yet... a 92t/34t would look crazy. ;)

peace,
