Redline Twinpinch Cranks - whats the score?
punkdSICO:
Thanks for the info, guys..
This is where my appreciation for 'old school' gets confused.. These cranks are almost identical but, depending on how many bolts they have, decides if we pay £80 for £250+..
Maybe I will get more anal about this as I get more into it, but in the meantime I am happy with a £80 redline crank that looks like the crank I loved as a kid.. Its going to look HOT on my Aero Reflex build..
Interesting stuff..
thanks,
Paul

Twin pincher's are better as well they don't come lose :daumenhoch:

asside from the twin bolts , new ones have a more square profile so you can spot em straight away , but for what they cost you can't go wrong ,great for a rider, and a lot easier on the wallet, still one of the better cranks out there, light and strong :daumenhoch: at least you don't have to worry about the half wrap or full wrap dilemma :LolLolLolLol: :uglystupid2:

Nothing wrong with twin pinch Redline cranks at all. They are really good cranks and look good on old and new school bmx's.
The only time they are wrong is when they are on bikes that enter show and shine competitions. Then you seem to get people moaning that they didn't get any recognition or get prizes but they are running twin pinch Redlines.
However it is 100% your bike, so do exactly as you want with it.
