i can get away with them because i'm light, and don't do drops to flat. i find them a bit flexy but they should hold up fine... i haven't really put in any long term testing so we'll see.

oh, you'll definitely feel the flex compared to other cranks.. just stay away from drops to flat exceeding 6 feet!

land light, use your legs and arms as suspension.

i have never seen or heard of stylos snapping so thats good, even if they are am cranks

but do you have the OCT version?
  • + 1
flag perkz (Nov 12, 2009 at 13:52)
nope the normal version the oct are for xc
go onto my profile there is pics of them

flag creamsoda (Nov 12, 2009 at 14:03)
oct aren't for xc dude. they're stiffer, lighter and stronger than the stylos... also made for the same purposes.

if they existed when i was building this bike, i would've gotten them already.

i think you need to find a new bike shop that won't overcharge you for parts! you have the one that sells in north america for 70-75 GBP.
