How much would a second hand set go for though? £60 - £80 For another £20 i'd rather have a new set of Vocals or a set of WTP Royals
yup second hand profiles always a bargain , ask the question "have they got the wobble? " though , chances are the seller will say no but ive had a few sets second hand that have the wobble. the splines get a little play in em ,the cranks will rock forwards and backwards when you ride , this will get worse the more you use em , if its the spindle then you can get a cro-mo replacement for around £20 ish , if its the boss on the crank arms then you've got a bit of a problem , there is a way to sort it out though and stop it completely , also make sure you get the removal tool, cuts out the headache of trying to get them off , if you "fix" the crank boss you'll defo need the tool the other pain with profiles is the 7/32nd allen key, in the flush bolts, bin them and get a set of the bolt (set screw) ones just a heads up that's all jack, you'll probs drop on a nice set certainly if you get a set from a member on here having said that the vocal valetines that pickle mentioned are real nice for just under £100 got a set myself as are the royals , new parts are the best no headache and it'll all fit together better
my cranks arrived today will i need this:http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/profile-installation-removal-tool/rp-prod106013I am going to get the cranks powdercoated a high gloss black
top stuff young Jack as Rody the Riguez said good price on the tool , DOUBLE CHECK IT'S THE RIGHT ONE! its only showing the solid spindle option on the selection panel , for the 3/8 24tpi thread spindle , the gun drilled is a 10mm 1.25 thread the cranks were listed as gun drilled if you got the set in this thread off ebay
