Mr DH, puleeze, just show up to ride some day and I won't rag you so hard

So who's your buddy? He looks old, has a beard right, so can he ride trail or just fall off high stuff?

You guys gonna make it to Raccoon Mountain? Get there early so you can scout out the area, I was there a few weeks ago, you'll need to be creative, but there are plenty of places to go big with good landings. Bring a shovel and a broom.

I just bought nimbus 26" muni and it comes with 165mm venture cranks .that seems so long of a crank. I'm used to 150 and 125....so udc has KH moments 137mm for 50 bucks..the close up seems to show maybe a helicoil steel thread fitting where you screw in the pedals...this seems like it would be stronger than just pedals into alum..but I don't no for sure..

The Moments are very strong, the inserts are very strong, the biggest diffeence betwen the two cranks is Q factor offset. For a 26", 165's are long, 135's are short, but I have riden them both on a 26 and found that they both have their advantages. I run 150 Moments on my 26 now and I can do more on that set up than I can on my 29 with 165's.

Though I once rode the 26 with 165's, I wouldn't consider doing that now, it's just not necessary and it ruins the ride quality by increasing the choppiness. I recently went back to running 165/135 on my 29er and it has been okay, though the big wheel flow has gone away, but I do have the 135 position if I want a different feel.

The bigger Q on the moments is going to make a difference in terms of increasing your base of support, it really just depends on what you like to ride, how steep you go, if you have a brake, your experience with riding. Short cranks spin much better and really reduce the jerkiness of the ride, so flow is improved. But if you're riding super tech stuff with big ups and downs, I'd err on the side of longer.
