Hi dude.
Just run one spacer on the drive side just to clear the frame and no spacers on the non drive side and she will be good too go.

No, i need to run 3 spacers so the BB is spaced correctly.
If i have 2 spacers or less on the drive side the sprocket will hit the frame.
Nah the arms clear the frame no worries, it's just the sprocket.
Also, rawed and polished my bars today, turned out pretty neat....

profiles are good. some of the cheaper cranks you can get here and theyre very strong. they also now use a standard 6mm allen key and not a 7mm which means no more extra tools to carry around. theyre easy to install and with a spline drive sprocket theres very little that can come loose when riding.
you might need a longer spindle than the standard one, id also recommend a deity external euro bb because the bearings will last longer than an internal bb cup.

i have a mid bb, so i have to run bmx cranks.
profiles are cheaper than most cranks and are easy to install. the weight isnt bad and theyre strong, theres plenty of setups possible on profile cranks ( spindle length, arm length, lhd, rhd, spline drive only etc.) the crank bolt is also fairly far in so i dont tend to hit my ankle on it like i do on my animal cranks or any mtb crank that ive used.
profile and deity make longer spindles, either will work. eci imports has some so any shop that deals with profile, fit, kink should be able to get them.
demolition medials are also good, if youre a hack the animal cranks are some of the stiffest ive ever used.

Amps are so Rad!Well it's not quite finished, but i am pretty keen to give this a ride. Two6player has sold with its forks, bought a banshee amp with 831's, fresh wheels too
Just needs a chain and it'll be right to go, rawing and polishing the bars this weekend.

hey guys with my morewood frame it has vertical dropouts, if i run a half link chain do i still have to use a chain tensioner?

It really depends on your gearing, I had an STP 0 with a half link but it was still slack, I tried putting a bigger rear sprocket, (cos I already had a 36 on the front), on it and it seemed to fix my problem...

yer well im going for a 32 to 14 on the frame well ill see how it goes and make changes if it needs it.
Every chain you buy is going to stretch, not just half link chains.

funnily enough out of the chains ive used, my shadow interlock was one of the best in terms of stretch (the only chain that was better was the kmc 510 which is really strong) normally its the other way around.
buy a good quality half link and youll notice the difference. the cheap ybn ones are shit.
anyway, R.I.P. fox 831. its now cracked and bent after one too many 360 drop attempts (footjams didnt help either, the crack is mostly behind the arch near the seal). replaced it with a 36 float rc2 which feels way more solid. if i crack this ill be very surprised and will resort to finding some second hand totems haha.

it was a rhetorical question 
just saying its a great stem. but yeah, going to a 22.2mm bar clamp is more so you can use a higher rise bar, it wont make a huge difference.

Ive only used flat bars before so im a newbie when it comes to 22.2 stems... the only one i know of is the elementary stem which is what Ive got...
