ill second the reba for sure, but those new fox step casts are crazy light and they have some entry level ones that are pretty reasonable.  Have heard anything on maintenance intervals yet though.
What are the new ones from Fox called - I get kind of confused with all the names, letter and numbers on them. Does not really tell me much - except looking at the price give me some kind of clue of what is going on...  ;D

Here is my build. I've done a few changes since the pictures were taken. I.e. I've changed the flat Syntace pedals with Bebops, and I've cut the front brake hose. It's around 6.6-6.7kg right now, but I'm going to get it down to 6.2-6.3kg (with pedals!) when all the upgrades are done;)



Fet sykkel!

Does anyone have like clear/obvious choice of fork that does not cost an leg and arm? And which serves me well with minor to medium maintenance?

Cheers

Yup, I got it.  ;D
I do have a new SRAM crank arm set that I was thinking of getting rid of as I found some different ones for the last build. You would still need to get a GXP Bottom bracket and the chain ring of your choice though. Also, I'm not sure if shipping it to Norway would make it impractical but let me know if you're interested and we can work out the financial side of it.
sent you a pm  :)

I would probably go for aluminum, og if it does not turn out as a bad opptil.
Cheers! :-)

No problem! Just know you'll be best off buying the GXP installation tool which can be about $20-$25. It makes installation a breeze and is well worth it.
Just to be sure - So if I telle Peter that i would like it to be BSA style, I can just buy a GXP bb and it will fit straight in without any hassle?

Most of us would suggest a BSA style BB. This of course drives what cranks you use, but if you look for GXP compatibility you'll find a very wide variety of SRAM cranks and components. SRAM's BSA BB is called the GXP.

Hi all :)
I´ve decided for a 057 from Pete, and i will go for this sram as i find them more smooth than shimano. What kind of bb would you guys suggest? In advance, cheers :D
