Depending on how long you've been away, you may not know about the Falicon Cranks that are now available.

And the Billet Decomp. Mech.

And other stuff I cant think of

A couplenew things......heres a list of whats kinda new

1) big winkies modded crank plates with crankrebuilds fail soon after start up..this is due to the crank half bearings being too wide

2)we are using z400 rod bearings....cause there ismore roller bearing..which equals longer lasting life of the bearing

3)Black Widow is making a 100hp 2 stroke engine(not really for dales...but itscool)

4)theres gonna be a group ride late spring/early summer....someonepost a link forhim please

5)brian (bombsquad55) is a pro and switchedfrom a yfz to a dale, got a enw house..and has cats...ohh and got a neat little pickup truck..(lmao)

6)Derno loves beer...wait thats old news

7)a 400ex axle fitsin our cannondales...jsut some rotating of the brake/sprocket hubs etc and it gits nicely

8)atk is outright selling a fullline of quads andikes....had a test in a magazine recently...and are pretty much doing a great job at things.

9)ifyou wanta motor rebuilt...go to happyboy....wistech....haydug....NOT BIG WINKY!!>>EVER!!!!!.........and someothers(please add)

OHHH THIS IS A BIG ONE!!!
Falicon...a major indy car....and race motor crank buuilders....produced a batch of cannondale cranks...and turned out awesome......they cut down the motor vibration a ton...and they mod our stock cranks...or sell a whole new redesigned one....they also offer a stroker 450 crank.
