Buying that first 36er
If you ask UDC they might let you swap out the cranks for a pair of dual
hole moments. They are very convenient and popular, and will also save
you the cost of buying 125's later.

A warning on pipe-cutters
It is not important to get my brand of saws all. Just get one. You don't
need a guide. I use a vise to hold the post, but a foot holding it to a
log would do as well, 20 seconds with a saws all and...

Holes save a little weight, and have that nice smooth radius to spread

Do Moments strip easily?
The grease in pedal threads is there to lube the threads during
installation, and to fill the space to exclude water. Don't remove your
pedal unless you need to. Every time you tighten and loosen...

Which one to buy
Just make sure you get the Torker Lx, and not the much crappier cx
model.
A 20 is easier to free mount, idle, or ride backwards, when you first
learn. Yet the 24 is smoother and much more pleasant...

Kh frame differences
The 05 KH-Onza hub is a fine set up, and 42 mm, so you could put a late

there is no good reason to just replace it. It also uses...
