flight crank year?

<< < (2/4) > >>

selfpreservation:
you can get a new set for $120 posted from the us but they dont have the chainring with them so you did ok , perfectly good cranks ive got them on me supergoose  the bolts and that are different to mine so they are probably 90s ones

jeff spicoli:
so whats the difference? are the new ones not as good? bitd we loved our flights . I have DK chopstix now and they look as good as my old flights but I dont really know. would a old set of 401's be up to todays standard?.

selfpreservation:

The only difference with the new ones is the double pinch bolt where the single used to be, but for an era correct old school build then the single pinch full wrap round ones would be correct. I don`t think the new double pinch ones could take the punishment that we dish out now, plus the Profiles have a lifetime gurantee so you don`t have to worry to much about wrecking them  :daumenhoch:
