Odin, are you sure you want saint cranks? - they weigh half a tonne, and your Wilson will turn the mountain into a magic carpet ride, you could run something a lot lighter...

they aren't that heavy, i will save nearly half a pound switching. i don't care about weight anyway too much. i want a good solid crank that i can mount and not worry about and Saints fit that perfectly. I was going maybe go Atlas but my friend has had nothing but problems with his so far so i'm kind of skeptical.

Due to injuries I am regretting buying a 8" travel frame... although at the same time I can probly flip the frame for almost enough to get a shorter travel one.

mag30 was a bit of a regret... stupidly heavy POS.

The reason I'm going with the pimplites is A) Stiff bearings for those scary moments when you're trying to find the pedal and it's spinning like a top and B) My friend had a pair and they're super grippy and built like a rock at only 520 grams.

I regret most of the DMR parts. The handlebar is overloaded with logos and the chain tensioner looks like fisher price.

most of my bike, weighs a tonne, it has triple clamps on a hardtail, it feels like its gonna snap when i jusp 4 sets, the back wheel cant stay true, the tyres are cracked like hell, the forks are stiff and have hardly any travel, the mechs are crap, most of the time it takes half hour to change into gear 1 on the front. my shifters, grips and bars are the only thing i like. and the fac t that its indestructable.
