Light and Strong 3pc?
« on: April 20, 2008, 05:29 PM »
I'd like to get some new cranks for my Fly micromachine - something a bit lighter than the stock ones that came with it - but I have no idea what to buy. Budget isn't an issue, something around 170mm would be great. Anyone have any ideas?

odyssey wombolts are good,

you cant go wrong with profiles too if you want an odd size :daumenhoch:
they even make a flatland specific crank,

Everything breaks I reckon.  I'd still only reccommend Profiles, but my Odyssey 41thermals have been faultless. Not sure you'll find a set now though, and especially in a small size...

So, Profile with a cheeky Ti axle   :daumenhoch:

Definetly leaning towards a set of Profiles, 170mm with Ti axle - £164 from Alans. Chrome.

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Be VERY careful buying from these, they have ripped me off on a set of Odyssey cranks and a Sun cruiser rim  :2gunsfiring_v1:

AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Profiles all the way Gary and with a Titanium spindle/axle if you can get them.

There's no better crank if you ask me, I've had Flights and all sorts but I always come back to Profiles. Flights look cool and there's no doubt they're good cranks and there's many other new school ones that are excellent too but Profiles really can't be beat in my opinion..

Macneil conjoined cranks...  light as hell!!


Anyone got any feedback on using these. I'm planning on a set for my FBM in the next month or so.

I've not had a chance to ride conjoined cranks myself yet... but i've heard nothing but Good things...

Diamond back/ Nike 6.0 rider Leon Perkins rides them and he goes BIGGG!!!...  he's had no problems!!

They're 'apparently' stronger & lighter than Profile's... even with the Ti crank axle!!

So Macneil conjoined cranks ( which go on Profile Titanium crank axles ) are most definatley the lightest out there!!

I'm using Profile's now but i'm deffo gonna swap for Macneils!!!

I just wish they came in Chrome!! ( Black or White only! )  :(
