Cranked Cycles

Each to their own. You either need it / want it based on the type of riding you do and can afford it or not. Regrettably with our exchange rate new product lines from overseas are getting pricy. As to me my Enduro / trail bike will remain 1 X 11 XO and my fully ridged carbon 29er will stay 2 X 10 because I need not only the range but the smaller jumps as I use this bike as a road bike. I do have plans on getting a short travel dual sys for riding such as the Dirtopia 100 miler on I recon that bike will warrant Eagle. Remember to enjoy the ride.

That should be a direct mount crank being XX1 so you will need: 1) left hand 2 X shifter 2) front derailer 2 X 3) direct mount spider with I assume 26/39 blades 4) I'd revert your cluster back to 11/36 as that will improve the 19-15 zone Pm me if you want to buy the parts

There are so many facets of this story to comment on, Firstly all bravery aside JP & co (and yes we're friends) you guys took a risk. Life over bike mmmmmm but honestly I would have done the same. As to leaving the bike "unattended" sadly that should not be an issue....... More disturbing is the lack of support and conviction by our officers of the law. The punishment does not fit the crime so crime continues. Glad you got you own back. Heal up JP and see you on the trails ...
