Is this a good bottom bracket to run in the dartmoor I posted above? Or what are your guys suggestions

for the most part, most BB bearings are the same (some have different colour seals). you're just paying for the name and the fancy BB cone spacers (whatever colour you want)

EDIT: if you're going for a euro BB (threads into the frame) go with an external bearing instead of the internal style BB like the one you posted a link to. External euro BB's run bigger bearings spaced further apart. as long as you have a long enough spindle. Deity and profile make one (probably some others too)

Thanks for the help... I run bmx cranks on my mtb so I'll go with the internal

The external i just posted is for a 19mm bmx spindle....
Its up to you tho
Bigger bearings spaced further apart last longer and you wont have to run as many spacers to push your crank-arms arms out

What's everybody's thoughts/opinions on handlebar and clamp size and material for street riding with a suspension fork? Looking for some feedback on 25.4 vs 31.8 and aluminum vs chromo.

I run suspension and prefer aluminium bars. You don't need the 'give' that steel bars have if you already have squish up front, and aluminium bars are usually considerably lighter. As for clamp diameter I really don't mind, it would depend more on the availability of bars that come in the right width/rise. There isn't much choice of high rise 31.8 bars for starters.

I've been running 25.4mm bars in a 31.8mm stem with a shim without any issues for over half a year now, so that's an option if you're planning on using an existing stem. If you decide on steel there are also quite a few 22.2mm bars in a variety of rises for BMX stems, or a 25.4mm stem with a shim.

A lot less worst than I expected. I mean, its still a 150mm fork at 70mm with Air setting and rebound setting.

Air as in using the air preload as an air spring, with the coil removed?

Nop, I didnt remove the coil, I had to cut the spring tho, but i mean the air preload.
