BIKERS: recommend me a crankset

[bemmis]

i just destroyed my race face prodigy dh today while riding urban.

so i need a new crank. i cant spend more than $125.

my only priority is durability. nothing else matters as long as it wont break.

 

[FUUUCK]

haha, i wrecked my cranks today too man. i dont really know what to recomend though, i'll probably get some profile racing cranks

 

[bemmis]

yeah, i would but i have a 4-bolt setup and they all come in 5.

 

[freeskier824]

bmx cranks if you want strength. you can get primo powerbites with euro bb for about 125 at danscomp.com. mountain bike cranks don't come close, especially if you're riding urban. bmx cranks were designed for that stuff.

 

[rudager]

buy a saint

 

[bemmis]

to pricey.

 

[bemmis]

what about this? im a bit hesitant since a guy on mtbr bent his hitting a rock. but its such a good deal.

Profile

xtr, save the weight, lol.

and on a more seriously note, fsa is a good choice

 

[chronic_rider]

Dont buy the FSAs, my coach has gone through like 3 pairs. If you just want durability, Raceface diabolus DH

 

[bemmis]

thanks^

and does anyone know of a place where i can get the profile's cheap?

i run an isis setup now but my bb needs replacing anyway so i could go 48-spline.

i wand the dj cranks with a 4/104 bcd spider and a 68/73 bb.

 

[tBatt]

what about truvativ hussefelt or howitzer?

 

[mtsteeze406]

listen to thi guy, i have crazy bmx friends who do grinds on thier cranks, and they still hold up

 

[nigel12]

if you can find some used holzefellers there the best cranks made imo

but those fsa are a good deal id probably go with them

 

[eyes.a.fire]

truvativ is the only way to go. or saint.

if you try to save money buy buying cheaper cranks they are going to break still. just remember, you get what you pay for.

 

[bemmis]

so th worse deal i get, the better the product will be. awesome.

thats dumb. on %90 of the sites that fsa is $190. i found it for $75, therefor, its worse than truvativ. honestly, i dont think truvativ is any better than other companies.

i think ill get the profile dh crank if i can find it for $125. if not, ill keep looking. I AM NOT GETTING HOLZFELLER CRANKS. i believe it is not worth the extra money.

 

[dave44]

Shimano.

 

[eyes.a.fire]

oh but they are.

 

[bemmis]

does anyone know where i can get a european style 42t splined BB for under $50?

 

[603skier]

i this said BIKERS: reommend me crack.

 

[Potatoes]

truvativ, it's the shit for sure.
