Title: Redline twinchers whats the alternative
Post by: oldtired on August 13, 2011, 12:21 PM

as per the title chaps , , no doubt  this has asked before,  but,   like em or loth em the new twinn pinch redlines are a cracking crank set for the money, so whats the alternative?  looked round the tinterweb so asking for recomendations from the knowledge base, you lot  :LolLolLolLol:  , tis all well and good if they look ok but bunging em on and abusing em for a few weeks  gives you the opertuninty to form a better opinion  :daumenhoch:     small restrictions  sub £85 , including bb if possible , and preferably 180's   :uglystupid2:   ,  been looking at the dk social set looks ok ?  

asi said i realy like the twinchers few probs with the hardware but just swap em out for stainless versions and all is good
