After lookin at your bike your better off with new brakes and wheelset rather than cranks nevegals are normaly heavy as sin and same with codes.

Do you already have the frame because I'd look at a differant frame V-10 are strict race horrid for everything else, I just got a glory and its destroys my V-10 in every area.

Man the bb has no weight and the cranks are fairly light...n honestly its better to have a little bit more strength over weight on your cranks...thats one of the major areas that takes pressure...if your doin dh that is

better have some extra weight on those wheels 'just in case', dont forgot that stem just in case eh
