question- might be kinda vauge but what size spindle do mt bikes use? or are there a few different sizes… i have a set of profile cranks that id like to use maybe with a single gear up front. the profiles are 19mm 48spline spindle- think i could use them? im assuming id need to find a bb that would fit the frame and hold the berrings thatll fit the cranks… idk ---

not gonna find much around here for drops and other bike-specific stunts, at least that I know of. Sprague brook county park, hunters creek and ellicottville are the only real places for good singletrack trail in wny. There is also letchworth and a few other spots near rochester. ellicottvile has some decent downhils but you also have to climb them. ---

Hunter’s has the best “tech” riding in Erie County. Sprague has better flow to the trail loop though. Ellicottville is the best overall though in WNY. There are some areas that as a newcomer will keep you busy and walking sections.
