That crank will be fine.. More than fine!

I had an M1 which I used for pretty much the same sort of thing. I built it with an XT short cage rear mech, Atomlab wheelset (amazing value, and totally indestructible!), MRP chain guide, Maxxis High Roller 2.5 tyres, thomson seatpost, flite saddle, and raceface diablous bars and stem..

Hope this gives you a little help in deciding.

i have just bought a xt rear sc mech, but im thinking ov going for the sram x.0 gear
which is the better?
and i want to run a 2 chain ring set up on the front with a bash guard, pity that this frame needs an etype mech.
im a little usure of the things out there and the quality as im just gettin back into my biking.
Cheers
Matt

The X0 stuff is good, there's no doubt about that... But it's bloody pricey and IMO not worth the extra money, especially on something like the bike you're building up...There's a good chance that you might bend/snap the mech at some point, and I'd rather break a £40 than a £150 one...!!!

The atomlab wheels will break after the frame goes I reckon! Sooooo strong! I'm heavy and have done some uber cases that contributed to bollocksing bushings in a ride and the wheels - nothing.

Reet bo!

Mike, the atomlab wheelset came with their own hubs, which have done 6 months so far and are perfect still.
