I went outside today determined to hop that 5 set Iv'e had my eye on for some time. I was too scared (lol) to jump it while roling yet so I just did it sideways. after about 5 times, I quit because my ankles were hurting. I've read about denubbing cranks before and I wondered which is cheaper: Denubbing my cranks or buying the 661 ankle biters ($20 from JensonUSA.com)? Does the denubbing procces simply involve taking the cranks off, grinding the nub off, and putting them back on? Or do I have to have the axle ground down too?

I had this problem for a bit. U just have to keep on doing big drops every rides, and you get more resistant. Just keep at it. I badly twisted my ankle off a three set (lol), and now I can do a 10 set without probs.

You have to get a special kind of crank bolt from Bedford so that the crank bolt doesnt stick out too. Just get ankle bitters. If you try to denub your cranks and screw up then you would have to buy new cranks. Only cranks that I know of that fit the DX hub are Redline cranks which come in 170mm and longer which is fine if you are on a 24" but terrible is youre DX is the trials version.

On some cranks, mainly the older 2003-04 KH cranks, at the part where the crank slid onto the hub, there was a little nub that stuck out a little bit.
A lot of people would rip their ankles apart with the little nubs, but a lot of people also never had a problem with them getting hit.
Denubbing is when you get that little nub grinded off your crank. There is a thread be loosegoose who is selling a summit with denubbed KH cranks. You can see the pictures there. Or do a search.
