I like the helmet also. So, did you try it on or are those photos from somebody else?

For others putting their crank together, I put the axle in the freezer and tried using a hair dryer on the bb area. Not sure the hair dryer helped (didn't use it very long).
I have the bb30 bb. If you messed with bmx bikes cranks, then it is nearly the same.
I used a diy bolt set up. I tried doing both bearings at same time. They went in cockeyed.
I ended up banging onthem with a hammer to get them in. I figured there would be a problem and I would be doing it again....but no so fa4 so good. I suspect they will quicker but Enduro has the 6806 bearings (hybrid ceramic) for less than 20 each.
Ultimately, don't be afraid to be physical with it.

Nice. If that is going on a bike, the small print will be really small and unreadable....esp. from a distance.
If it is a general sticker...understandable.

Andy,
Were you wearing any armor?
Been debating on getting some.
I just don't want to have one of those freak accidents and be laid? up in hospital and can't work.
I know those can happen with armor but obviously less chance with armor.
Andy, do you think the g-force type armor would have helped or would a compression suit for your wreck?

I would put a 'chinertown' sticker on my bike. I would defer to Sitar for an official before just making one. Let us know if you have a preference, and if so, what they are so we can have one made to your specs.

If you are going with one bike as an all-arounder, I would lean toward a FS --- I went with 057...happy with it....but, not going to have a stable of bikes a FS with lockouts would do overall.
If one knows what their goal in riding is: XC riding for example get the 057(or similar) and build as nice a bike as budget allows.
I know I went in thinking I could build a nicer bike, with nicer parts, for cheaper. Well, I got into it and went over budget.
