Full Ti Profiles with external (doesnt have to be profile) BB (steel frame) or DXR (Alloy/ti frame ONLY- THEY LOOK SHITE ON STEEL FRAMES-FACT) or Saint I suppose, though you have to fiddle to get the the chainline right..... Get yer wallet out Greg  :LolLolLolLol:

Greg dxr's are the simplest thing on earth to set up, they are bmx specific and the chainline should be spot on and they very strong and far more attractive than steel cranks that where designed for stu thompson when he was in high school, beware of outboard bearings and profiles  :)

Greg dxr's are the shittest thing on earth to look at on a steel frame but they are bmx specific and the chainline should be spot on and they very strong, its just a shame they are not as attractive as steel cranks that were crafted by Greek Gods, be in awe of outboard bearings and profiles  :)

Well said that man  :4_17_5:
