Cheap ebay crank surprise

[Jaymz]

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

Looks like "a right touch"

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.

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

The case is what you get with a Cannondale bike

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?

[Dark Diggler]

User manual, spare mech hanger (depending on how much you spend) Lubrication and a shoe horn, for getting really...really tight lycra on, 3 condoms and 2 tubes of KY Jelly
