Single pinch or Twin pinch?
« on: January 18, 2008, 10:15 AM »
Hunting around for proper flights for sometime and they just keep going well out of my budget but recently looking through the museum I see a lot of you do go for these new twin pinch cranks on your old school bikes. I know a lot of you prefer the look of the single pinch but I just haven't got those readies at the moment and the twins do look good I think... what do you prefer?  ;)

more durable than twin pinch flights too. pro lines are single pich, and you can still get the older type redline stckers to replace the proline ones.

Sounds very good and thanks for the piccy. I've see the prolines on US Ebay yesterday for about £65+shipping, not too bad at all!  :D

Matt let me know what you're after for those prolines mate before I order some abroad...  :daumenhoch:

i suppose it all boil downs to what your using your ride for?
if its to use then id go for the cheaper option no one will care :daumenhoch:
if you are showing i think it does make a difference. ive shown my ripper a few
times with dual pinch and ive had comments about them :-\ :-\

i'm using a set on my quad..cos its a minter and i'm using new parts for it whereever i can.

250 for a set of nice second hand cranks with single pincj, vs 100  max for the same cranks but with a dual pinch and that are new....???

if we did everything authentic to everything, prices would go even higher, cos the demand would increase...

i like em, so i use em, thats my rationale...each to there own though...

i dont subscribe to 'it has to be a certain way' type thoughts....

You know I think you're right lads, its personal preference and I'm sure you can put bikes in shows with twin-pinch or proline cranks, I think they all look good. Yeah my GT may not win the prize this year (if I get it done that is) at MK but I intend to make it as minty as possible and I think the prolines will do that. Made an enquiry abroad today regarding shipping prices so we'll see. Thanks for all your comments  :daumenhoch:
