This is an XC/All Mountain crank but is it strong enough for FR/DH?
This crank is for XC/All Mountain use only. The Hive is hard at work to fill in products to suit your needs so there will probably be a DH crank next year.

I noticed there is a wave washer included with my cranks. Why do I need to use that?
Bearings work best with a certain amount of preload. Frames also have tolerances associated with their manufacture. Facing/chasing the BB area can affect the overall width of the BB shell, so the wave washer serves double duty to take up this tolerance and at the same time apply preload. See your Fifteen.G Crankset Manual for the proper use and placement of the wave washer.

Why the pedal washer? Won't I reduce my q-factor if I remove it?
All bolt type fastener connections need a washer under the surface of the moving end. This prevents the material at the interface from becoming damaged due to the movement of two different materials against each other during the tightening process. Also, connections between fasteners stay tighter, more dependably, when a washer or spacer is used to provide a gap between the threaded connection and the end face. Remove the washer? Don't do it.
