nicklouse

why not they are strong enough for most things. makes sure the bb shell faces are faced.

if you are getting hone cranks don't bother getting the triple as like nick said they are the same as lx,
the hones to get would be the double as they have steel pedal inserts and a stronger axle. the only problem is that the 22/32 and a bash doesn't make sence as most people are buying 36 or 38 outers with the suitably sized bash which means you have to shell out more. i would however reccomend the xt 26/36/48 and buy a bash then you've got a deal.

Sorry mate, but i dont understand that. Arent the LX's more expensive than the hones?

I was just planning to remove the smallest ring from the Hones...
