Raceface Evolve FR bottom bracket:
got mine off of PricePoint in early 2002. Good deal, but the driveside bearings seized after 6 months of weekend riding. I really didn't feel like shipping it off to Canada so I just replaced it.

SRAM PC-99 chain....
Many say it is super strong and they have never had any problems with it but mine snapped after about 3 or 4 days use with a straight chainline :lame:

Wellgo B-38 pedals....
GREAT! Highly reccomend them.
Sealed bearings that have been perfect so far. Great grip and kind of big platform for your foot. They are also pretty light for all you weight weenies :006:
It's nice to put these on and remove them because on the end of the bolt where you normally use a pedal wrench, there is a 6mm allen hole so they are simple to deal with.
Only downside is all of my pins are falling out, so locktite them in before you get any dirt stuck in the allen holes.

WTB SpeedV saddle. ****ing awesome, felt great, flexed just enough, my fat ass liked it, my friends skinny ass liked it. just a good feelin light aerodynamic saddle. Until i fell, then the rail popped out. Must have been a fluke, it was a minor fall. anyways, WTB warranty repair sucks, but that saddle was soo money

Cannondale Gemini frame. :01:
Very versitile bike. Can adjust travel between 140mm, 150mm and 170mm. This makes it a very versitile bike. Swap out forks and you can have a DS bike or a DH bike. Very Active travel for both large and small bumps. Has 1.5" headtube, and comes with reducers to fit 1 1/8" steerer tubes. Also has a not straight top tube for more crotch clearance. Only complaint are the cable bosses. You are sapposed to put little plastic sleeves around the cable and then slide them into the bosses but the sleeves slip out all the time. Make note that the 2002 Gemini was recalled but will be replaced for free.

I got these pedals on jensonusa for $25 and they are the best pedals I have ever ridden for $25. I have had them forever and have no complaints yet, and no lost pins.

The best platform pedals i have ever ridden are either Sun Ringle Octane Mag, Azonic A Frame, or Atomic Aircorp. They are all awsome but all of them are really expensive except the a frame which is just expensive.

These rims are invincible! I have done stuff to these rims that would have beaten the **** out of almost any other rim on the market, and they are still straight and true. I give this product a 5/5 rating.

They are really strong but if you have them for more then a year and ride really hard a lot they will crack. I have a front mag 30 on my bike, i bought it used from a go ride racer and he told me the front wheel was cracked. I bought it anyways thinking MAg 30s can hold up but i have a bunch of spokes jiggling around now so new rims might come soon.

This fork is amazing. So plush, so adjustable, so nice. Adjustable from 4-5 inches, rebound, compression. 4.5 pounds. It soaks up everything. It's one of the nicest, if not the nicest, single crown forks I've ever felt.

:offtopic:
Let's keep this to reviews. I'm sure you guys could have debated that in PMs or IMs without ruining this thread which has great potential.

These are the best cranks I have ever had. The previous owner of my bike had them for ever and they still work great. I also know many other people and pro's who ride these cranks.
