I've never seen white walls on a downhill bike before. I love it! The BMX cranks aren't bad either.

I painted them up myself, they didn't last that long.

The deity cranks have been spectacular though, and plenty light with a titanium spindle. The only issue is to mess with the chain guide, you have to remove a crank arm, which is a bit of a task.

Oh, I know. Installing and removing three piece steel cranks are a real bitch and a half.

dude the awesomeness of your bike is outstanding. What tires and fork are you running?

NorCalWannabe (Oct 24, 2011 at 21:57)

Continental Baron 2.3, and 2011 Manitou Dorado Pro w/ MRD crowns.

how are the 2.3 barons treating you compared to 2.5's?

NorCalWannabe (Oct 25, 2011 at 17:54)

The Barons are a very true 2.3 and have a relatively round profile on these rims (24mm). I am running them tubeless- it took a few scoops of Stan's and three or four days of inflating/riding to get them airtight. I started at about 45 psi and have let out a bit at a time to see where I like them best...probably around 35 now. They hook up very consistantly and the harder I push into corners, the deeper the tread digs in. Having used other black chili tires, I can say that these are fast, fast, fast. At the moment I am trail-riding the bike, as there isn't much true DH where I am in Maine. Can't think of anything else now, but I will update this when the bike has had some more abuse.
