ah sucks.  On Profiles now?

Yeah... an old set of mine, bought him some used eclat tibias, good enough for Burns  :daumenhoch:

Never got round to fitting em, he's given up riding  :(

I ran a set of the original Oddy 4130 thermal cranks for ages, they're excellent. Shame that if they did ever break they would be replaced with Twombolts now. I'm not a fan.

I agree Glen, I like Eclat stuff generally. I have their pedals now - lovely things.

Yup.

I hear the Twoms are better than the Woms, but they just don't float my boat.

"Two Piece Crank" just doesn't sound right   :LolLolLolLol:
