f*ck truvativ

Say that all you want, but they will warranty just about anything. Truvativ is one of the only companies that have proven to me that they want their customers happy. I will say the low end forks from Rock Shox are the worst things I've ever dealt with bike related and they are dangerous.
so will race face

Just saying that there is no reason to say that without anything to back it up. SRAM makes alot of great parts, however everyone has an opinion. Some close minded, some are not.

sram does make great parts. But Truvativs DH cranks just cant keep up with the competition. Saints are amazing and so are the raceface cranks. Gravity cranks are amazing aswell. Truvativ has to step up their game. A 2pc crank would be a good start

All of those companies do make great parts, however unlike you, I have had two DH race seasons on one pair of Holzfeller cranks.......why 2pc?

well i have ridden holzfellers and they just arent stiff enought for my liking. 2pc cranks add stiffness, strength and take off weight

WOW what a discussion!
I am an idiot because i missed saints for 138 us dolars in ebay auction,because i fell asleep!
Now I am looking in Race Face eveolve DH X-type and they cost arround $140 which means that they are arround $40-50 cheaper than the saint(usually saints are sold for arround $180-190)
What do you think will evolve cranks be so good as the saints?
Just remainding you to help me with the rimsSmile !
Thanks

NO OUTLAWS, sooo heavy and not that strong. Get the mavic ex721. The dt rims you showed are more for all mountain and enduro riding. NOT for freeriding or Downhiling. Same goes for the 2 other mavic rims. those are for all mountain. If your looking at mavic only look at their EX line and not their EN line. The EX721's are light and supper strong. amazing rims get them.

For their price, you can't get anything better than outlaws. Their only downside is heavy hubs but the rims are pretty freaking nice. Since these are going on your SX-Trail, I'd recommend 729's. I used outlaw's on my sx-t for over a year with no problems.

Does anybody have experience with MACH1 rims?
