Old school flights were single pinchNew school flights are twin pinch
asside from the twin bolts , new ones have a more square profile so you can spot em straight away , but for what they cost you can't go wrong ,great for a rider, and a lot easier on the wallet, still one of the better cranks out there, light and strong at least you don't have to worry about the half wrap or full wrap dilemma

you can get a brand new set including whatever bottom bracket set you need from the states for about £75 including postage and he will send as gift AND if you ask him he will knock the value down so it slips through customs http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Redline-Flight-Cranks-Chrome-180mm-w-Bearings-/190495750075?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item7216fc4861

Im paying 80squid for mine but, hey ho..btw: what is with all the bottom bracket choices?? Mine is coming with a US bottom bracket. Does this mean it is not going to fit either my Aero Reflex (likely choice) or DP Firebird Freestyler (unlikely choice)??Fingers crossed Paul
they will fit
2 of the mid school show n shine winners at MK10 had twin pinch flights on... Incorrect even on a mid build... 2002 onwards for the current twin pinch flightsOne of my pet hates is seeing em described as NOS on the parts breakdown of a bike.... they're not old!.... Rant over...

american for most old school framesmid is basically the bearings out of the american bottom bracket cupseuro the bearing cups are threadedspanish is basically mid with the bearing size reduced to make it a bit lighter
