Just get some thing that has DH at the end of it dude - the platinum is designed with a pussified lightweight axle. Try and get a platinum pro DH or a gigapipe (my bearings are pretty dead, but the axle is strong). But you do need a gay tool for tha giga (or maybe a hammer and screwdriver) <<< my mechanics is as harsh as my riding the party was awesome, didn't get take away though as there was food at the party!!!!
