Yes, I recommend this product.
Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight, Looks great
I recently bought these forks to replace some old ones. they are really sturdy and they just feel so right. You have massive tyre clearance for a 2.3 if you ever need to go that wide. And for the price, there's not no other forks that I would reccommend. They 're just a good all round pair of bmx forks.

Picture show Shimano XT chainset, but the product spec. says SRAM XX. What is correct ?
The Product detail states
Chainset:SRAM XX GXP /
Carbon crankarm / QF 156Chainrings:42A x 28A T
The Picture shows something else.

Hi there, I can clarify that that is not a shimano XT chainset, they are just shimano custom hollowtechs. In terms of weight, it is going to be margainal.
Hope this helps.

Could I use this cassette (13-29) to replace current 105 12-25?
With a trip to the Alps coming up, I'm wanting to replace my current cassette to get a lower gear than the current 25. Would this do the job or would the chain also need replacing?
Additionally, would I be better off with the Shimano 105 11-28, for the higher gear (downhill!) and keeping the 105 consistency? Imagine 28-29 isn't a huge difference either? Thanks

Hello there, I think you would be perfectly fine with the 13-29.
Ultimately, you would have a bigger ring for climbing. A colleague that that I work with, he's also going to the Alps this month. And he's also going to be running a 13-29t. If you've got fairly big rings on the front, like for example, 53-39t, you will find a really cool easy going ratio that will pick up quickly, but, yet, will still hold top speed.
As for the smallest ring on the rear cassette, the 13t, you will feel a slight difference from the 12-25t you're used to running, but you will feel more nimble, you will accelarate quicker, so in saying that, you will have a higher cadence, so you should be able to churn up the same sort of top speed output in less spin revolutions as you would if you was running a 12-25t.
The 13-29t would be perfectly fine. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

when will your black federal 20/20 4 piece bars be back in stock?
when is the sale for your bmx parts ending ?
Hi there, the sale will on untill most of the 2010 products are gone. Can I give you a little word of advice, DON'T get these bars, my mate snapped these same bars the other day. Plus, I had a set of lacey bars and I snapped too. I really wouldn't invest any of my money in to ANY federal products.
Go for a set of S&M bars instead., THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER.
Hope this helps
