Run it with the Ruktions you said you had on there should work fine

[MTB0007]

This is what you need if you want to go the Truvative route.

 

Truvative cranks:

Ruktion' date=' hussefelt, holtzfeller   (howitzer interface)   +-R900  (new)

 

Truvative Howitzer BB (howitzer interface)   +-R550   (new)

 

Truvative Shift guide   (doube ring) +-R500     (new)

[/quote']

Ok I have Ruktion Cranks - on the bike..

I have Howitzer BB - on the bike..

 

I need to do the shift Guide ... then - derailer and shifter -....right?

[DownhillingKing]

Ja and I would recommend that you run a bash ring with it

Does anyone have a pic of a BigHit with this setup on? I would be really keen to convert to double chainring on my BigHit too.

Which LBS is best one for Freeride/DH in Gp ?-

I am in Edenvale /Kempton - here BMX Road are more the LBS story

[nolipoli]

Hey Newby

 

 

 

Nice ride!!! That was a sweet deal.

 

I just got a BIG HIT 3 for R11K.

 

 

 

Are you going to ride in the DH series next year? I did one event (my first) in October and there seems to be a really nice bunch of guys. The 30+ class could do with some more peeps.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, I must still come and collect that EVA Jersey from you. Are you at work with it or is it at the house?

[MTB0007]

Hi Noli

 

I am on the road - riding one handed.. need to keep $ coming in

The jersey is in my boot..

Tom I will be in KYA Sands, at the office..

 

I will consider doing DH next year.. XC is not for me... bikes too light

and Ive fallen more in XC than I ever did doing DH or road in Cape..

So if my wrist - hand heals ok - then maybe by Feb will try a ride or two-

Wher you guys riding - OH is ther an over 40 CLASS - Im a VET - 42 -

nice shots their Jason. Did u case those landings though?

[jrussell]

I cleared them, over shot the bottom one. you get more speed if you dont lift up I find. and i try to really push my back wheel down to land perfectly on the down rap to go as fast as possible

[Capricorn]

?

errm.. casing IS when u land ass first as opposed to front first or both wheels together.?

each to their own i guess ?still, nice pics. who was your dedicated photographer?
