Cheap ebay crank surprise
« on: July 04, 2012, 06:26 PM »
needed a mid BB for one bike and a tidier set of arms for another bike, so settled for a cheap set of new RADIO BIKES cranks off ebay for a mere £29.99

1st off I bought them sunday, they arrived via fedex 24hr on tuesday, quick service or what, and this is what they arrived in and looked like




for £30 Im stoked, not sure the case is actually original to the cranks, but a nice packaging touch nonetheless and usefull to keep my bike tools in the car, the crank arms are a nice finish and the BB bearings are the same as I bought previously for another build they were £7 on their on there own. Shame there's no more on the bay now

the welding has moments of neatness and moments of   'I'm bored lets just get it gone'


from the listing

Left and Right tubular Cro-Mo crank arms. 175mm.

8 x spline heat treated cro-mo 19mm axle.

2 x Mid size precision sealed bearings.

2 x bearing covers.

7 x 19mm spacers.

1 x tube spacer.

2 x crank bolts

2 x arm pinch bolts.

1 x set of fitting instructions.

as for weight, they arent the lightest crnanks ever most of the weight is the spindle, the arms are pretty light

Nice one brother. Didnt think it was OG with radio bikes parts, kinda recognised the logo, but no being into mtb wasnt sure what it was. What normally comes in it then?
