what do you meen go single speed?!? for DH you need gears Razz

the drive train could be a bit better but i havent got the money to change it about at the moment, also the brakes are great dont really need to change them.

thanks
I didnt phrase that right. THe front rings, you dont need dual rings. You can go single chainring, that would drop the E13 DRS, the left shifter, front derailleur, and have one less cable in the front.

Also, i noticed someone posted it has ISCG posts, true, but it shoud be ISCG 05. If he got the older one he'd be screw'd.

The Glory is ISCG-OLD. Also be aware of the dropped chainstay...it will only allow the older style WIDE angle backplate to work, or the new SRS+/LG1+ will work fine as they are angle adjustable.

Cheers,
philip @ e*thirteen
