Don't get new cranks man. Stylo's are sick (they are stylos right?). They're intended for XC/AM but I bought mine FOR dj/street haha. they're holding up fine. but micro gear would be sick. which you can do with those cranks. 22-10, 24-12, 26-12, 26-13. just mount it on the granny ring, check mine out.

msk84life101 (Sep 30, 2009 at 23:37)

yea they r mine r just bending, and scraping the frame at times, its not a problem yet. i am seriously thinking about getting the new velvets...3.35lbs cuz my pikes are really soft and kinda hevey

t-limbert (Sep 30, 2009 at 23:42)

Ahh, I gotcha. Mine were super soft, then I upgraded to the X-Firm spring. Only like $40 i think, and really easy to install yourself. but they are a little soft still, i do weigh 180lbs though. i was thinking about velvets but i think they might just have too much flex in them. keep in mind they have a 15mm version now so that may have fixed the problem. and yes pikes are heavy. 426's weigh in at about 5.6 lbs

msk84life101 (Sep 30, 2009 at 23:45)

yea well im not sure what pikes i have all i know is that i got the money and to drop like 2 pounds sounds nice for me. and im really light like 120 ish so im not about to break velvets pus i dont ride too hard

t-limbert (Sep 30, 2009 at 23:46)

yeah man, go for the velvets, definatly. what front hub are you running? if it's a pro2 get the 15mm velvet

msk84life101 (Sep 30, 2009 at 23:51)

im not really sure. there atomlab pimplights i know i can get 9mm spacerthing but idk if i can get a 15mm

perkz (Oct 1, 2009 at 2:53)

evilrydr, we have the 09 sylos which are much stiffer than pervious models

because before i bought mine i read review adn everyone who owned 07s and below complain of to flexy

t-limbert (Oct 1, 2009 at 7:42)

ahh, i see. i have '08 stylos though. same design though.

perkz (Oct 1, 2009 at 11:39)

yeah but i have no idea how the hell you got that small chain ring on yours

t-limbert (Oct 1, 2009 at 14:48)

Okay, so you have the holes for your 32t chain ring or w/e right? even closer together on the inside of the crank there are 4 more holes, but only one sided. It's called a granny ring mount.

msk84life101 (Oct 1, 2009 at 15:47)

i dont really see the point in a tinny chain ring unless your doing a bunch of disaters

t-limbert (Oct 1, 2009 at 21:51)

cause it looks sick... haha and loses a tad bit of weight.

perkz (Oct 1, 2009 at 23:04)

those bit are filled in on the 09s

t-limbert (Oct 1, 2009 at 23:16)

Oh,

that sucks. I guess you're stuck with the 32t.

msk84life101 (Oct 9, 2009 at 16:49)

i like my 32t

but idk how well its gunna ride if i get 24s and shorter cranks

t-limbert (Oct 9, 2009 at 16:55)

you'll need to get a harder gearing. such as 32-14 or even 32-12 depending how hard you want it. could even get away with 32-15 if you wanted to.

msk84life101 (Oct 9, 2009 at 16:57)

well idk what im at now 32 somthing...

t-limbert (Oct 9, 2009 at 17:02)

probably 32-15 or 32-16

msk84life101 (Oct 9, 2009 at 19:16)
