If you replace the crank arms with anything but the shimano ones, it will void warranty and non std crank arms have been known to crack the crank spline they are bolted to.
What hub are you running? I have heard that certain hubs i think XDR need a spacer behind the cassette to convert to XD. This can throw off the alignment if not set up correctly. Just a thought
Tough one. I told one of my mates to ride mine and do a couple of laps he was hesitant at first and took the bait. He has been wanting one ever since. I ride all the time with "acoustic bikers"😄 and still ride mine at the uplift parks. Have always hated riding up hills and my mates know that...
I have been running the Maxxis Assegai WT 3C on my bike tubeless. Did bikepark wales last weekend and I ride pretty hard which usually ends with punctures. None with these this time round.

Best cheapest option is a pair of latex gloves underneath your normal riding gloves. Used to do this when I was younger Downhill racing. Used to spend a fair bit of time at the top of a mountian waiting for my number to go. Gotta keep warm to enjoy the ride.

Just reading this makes me think what would happen with mine. 😅😅 I run a seasucker bike mount for mine. Tested it out for the first time with my ebike. Worked great for my old Speciaised Demo 9 DH bike although that was a few kg's lighter... 😎
Bought an eMTB recently too never went for a nukeproof megwatt. ALways thought I would never get one then saw how many laps people were getting in at my local bikepark and said sod it im getting older and have always hated pushing or trying to ride up hill to the ride down. haha
Been a Downhill...
Was looking at buying a cube... but then saw what they believe is level of biking you can ride the bike at.. 😒
