As for the Profiles, they are designed for racing so they are a bit thinner and a bit lighter. Get something like a Primo Power/Hollowbite, We The People Royal or Oddy 41 Thermal (not Wombolts).

gra, tbh mate i was told today that your wethepeople cranks are stronger than profiles and a hell of a lot cheaper ;)
Lazarou:
Get some Johnny Chopper cranks from Oz. :smitten:
Dingo's got some.

seen a fair few riders snap profiles over the years but then again after some of the abuse riders have given them many other cranks would have given up the ghost years before. rider i know called coady has been thru a few pairs (arms twisting) and fair do's they have sent him new ones, but like everything , if they can give an excuse not to honour the warranty for what they think is not their fault i'm sure they will. those new shadow conspiracy cranks are pretty crap- i've seen them snap clean off at the pedal boss on a young rider who isn't a harsh rider. another mate got some new odyssey cranks which were made wrong. the arm was 1 degree out so a mate had to take to his works and have em realigned. with everyone shaving weight off the bikes i think a little extra weight for strength / injury sacrifice is one worth taking.
