let me know what you think :-)
Shorten the stem, put on a chain device.. Wide, flat pedals.. That's all I can say.. Oh, a shortcage DR and clean up the cables.. Everything else looks okay to me.. Smile

I used to use 750s but I tried some 710 and they felt nice and that's what I run now

Mine is only a play bike for when I go to my holiday home in Lincolnshire... There's a couple of bmx tracks there and it does the job fine

Nice ride lovefist, what travel have you got on the pikes ? I have an Xs1 and more travel would be great but can the frame take it ?

i have 140mm travel, u-turn adjustable with lockout. i've done some checking up and chucker frame is rated for 140mm max. with 140 i got a nice slack head angle but it still handles great.

Great, thanks for that, i've got some Marz 140 travel forks that came off a Kona Dawg. I replaced them with some rock shox revelations which are much better. The Marz forks had a problem which was sorted by the importers so they may be good for the Chucker. The GT is a fun ride and deserves some upgrades.

2/1 is popular so you'd need a 11t rear sprocket. Yes your can put bmx cranks on as lOng as they are for 68/73mm frame, but you might need a new bottom bracket
