Thanx math! in answer to your q, No im not really tbh. The inner ring is too soft i have bent 2 now for no apparent reason. I think when this one goes i will go back to xt battom bracket and chainrings.

You guys are complaning about your bikes. My bike barely switches gears anymore and it creaks like hell. My front fork only has 63mm of travel and I max it out going off curbs.

That bike looks like Christmas!



pro9 Whining about your lack of mechanical acumen is irrelevant when we have a complete Barnetts manual available for download so you could show your curb-dropping machine some TLC and give it a tuneup.
