I'm thinking of changing my trail bike and the bike I'm looking have 157 spacing same as my dh single speed which could be good for wheel swapnif needed. Question is I know I can put a sunrace pn my shimano hg for my trail bike but I wonder if I can put my reverse components single speed on a shimano microspline

Not on microspline

Reverse makes a microspline singlespeed conversion kit now

I was doing research on bmx cranks before buying profiles and there simply aren't any other brands that make the crank shaft long enough to fit a modern MTB bottom bracket. That might be the reason why only profiles are used on DH bikes.

I wish Deity still made cranks. They were awesome for the money.

That’s my buddy’s old bike, he actually inspired my build and that’s where I got the idea for the profile cranks, and 27.5/26
