one peice vs 3 peice cranks

<< < (2/4) > >>

TwoBobRob:
A decent 3 pc is waaayyy stronger than a one piece. Note I use the word decent - there's a lot of crap out there, beware.  Since I've been back riding I've snapped 3 1pc cranks and as many pedals (smaller axles), but since being able to afford Profiles I've had no further problem (cranks or pedals).  There is no way I'd go back, for me now it's all about strength and reliability - I don't wanna get hurt because my bike broke, I wanna get hurt coz I'm stupid!  :D ;D

Buy a good guaranteed set of cromoly 3pc cranks, read the instructions, assemble everything with copper grease and check and keep it all tight. You will have no problems  ;)

I don't really ride mine but think 3 piece look so much better + what TwoBobRob said.

weston:
the haro fusion 1 piece is very strong for those on a budget...
you can now buy the haro f2's on ebay for under £100 with a 3 piece crank lhd that normally retais at £80 on its own...

oldsky:
A decent three piece every time if your budget allows it. ;)
