Dude,

Get yourself a Truvativ Howitzer.. It so much stiffer and it surely last you longer...

erkkk, i would prefer to use those DH/FR cranks for jumping. hollowtech bearings don't know can tahan or not.

don't get stylo. stylo is for XC. lightweight XC crank. unless you have a lot of money to change BB everytime u bust it.

oh btw, i sudah terbalik lah the pricing. rm250 for BB5 and rm350 for BB7. haha. sorry dude.

[quote=Nightstalker1993,Nov 26 2007, 08:13 PM]
googled...

shows that short cage better for my usage

[qoute]
Benefits of a shorter cage length?
- snappier shifts
- better chain tension
- less chain slap / greatly decreased drivetrain noise (!)
- better obstruction clearance / improved spoke clearance.
- slight weight loss -- but you gotta be a real weight weenie to appreciate this one[/quote]

i'll use my current crank till it totally kong lol...

once that happens,gonna get the Stylo lol...
