Any opinions on the Hammerschmidt? Referred to as the Hammer, Ham, or TH. I am an All Mountain rider and would like to know if the cost is worth the benefit on this? and If anyone else makes anything comparable?

The ham is an awsome crank set up. i have one on my wifes bike. cost is around 5-600 depending on where you go. Only down fall is when running in the "36" gear set u will noticed a fair bit of drag as the tolerances are very tight. Ground clearance is amazing cause it's slightly bigger than a stock 22 tooth ring, Heavier than most DH cranks, but who cares cause u can shift whenever, Standing still, back pedaling, or under power. Check with Sram first to c if it will work with your current frame. hope this helps ya out.

Bike Radar just did a review and did not give it much love, although I still really want to try it as well. If I ever build up a DH bike I will throw one on for sure, here is the review.

SO is it too heavy for an All Mountain rider? I run a Specialized Enduro 2007
