Curious is to how people are getting along with sram carbon cranks these days? Got a new bike coming with XX1 cranks, and I'm not particular soft on parts. I've been on alloy cranks for the past few seasons and they end up looking like someone tied them to back of a truck and dragged them down the highway.

Am I going to die?

Who has the best method for removing shock hardware without destroying it? My DB Inline Coil came early and I need to swap it into the Top Fuel, so I need the hardware from the Fox shock. Cane Creek guy said their eyelets are roughly the same width so it should be a straight swap.

The next video that auto-played after that was a Berm Peak one where he fits a set of similar forks to a hardtail. lol

Buy press pieces or pay for a shop to swap hardware? With the right tools it’s a 10 minute job.

Sockets and vice are the cheap and dirty although it can be a pain to hold everything straight. I have even done it with a C-clamp but that was a real pain if you don't have someone to assist.

I used wd40 before freezer and put it in freezer for 30 mins, after that i used a 8 mm allen and a mallet and tap it out for changing my monarch hardware to dbair

Also get a roll of the PU "heli tape" and wrap the arms to protect them from chipping.

There are no stock options for complete coverage of the arms (the all just really protect the cranks from shoe rub, not the edges that face down) but if you get the tape wide enough you can wrap the edges and even the complex curves where it meets the spindle. I use a combo of a heat gun (or hair drier) to get the material to stretch around the curves then throw it in the freezer to quickly set the shape so you're not just leaving it up to the adhesive to hold the shape in position while the PU material cools. Then you just cut of the excess on the backside since it's a "b-side" that doesn't have to look as pretty.
