Looks like there’s a problem with the Ibis site. I’ve just tried to look directly there and I’m getting the same message.
this is relivant to my interests
roll on the big fork version!
No steel pedal inserts though, which I would like to see. I’ve stripped a few threads in my time.
Respond cranks are made from 7000 series aluminium, which is relativley hard & therefore pedal inserts are not necessary.
Stripping threads is only a problem on cheaper/softer 6000 series cranks.

i’m not sure they like external linking to them – worked fine going through the site for me though…. hmmmmmmmmm
J0Claw – Ed’s “speciality” is stripping cranks threads
Benji – you’re my hero!
1×9 is the new black but will fade to grey as 1×10 shoulders in on the game
the respond sounds great but £150 -3 times the price of deore is a lot for a cheapskate like me even if it does have all the features id like in a dh /am crank
Kimbers; put a deore crank on that frame and we will need to have a chat
these are still heavy duty builds your putting on this frame. Planning any lighter builds or is it all going to be hoone-y trail builds? Will give the frame a good work out I guess!
Depends if we can ever wrestle the bike back off Ed!
Having said that, he’s doing what I’d be doing with it so…
Depends how you look at things, I like light frames and certain components ‘cos it means I can “beef up” areas where I like my beef (wheels, forks, cranks).
What Ben says
fair enough. mine’s built SS with SIDs, Easton XCOnes and Middleburn Unos. Not beefy but light as a feather.
it’s just a shame I could never bring my self to ride a ‘tranny’ …:-(
