Post by: James Nada on July 30, 2012, 09:24 PM: I used a one on my OS race bike for a while and had no issues - but then again I don't go big.

So as Ed said - fine if you don't go mad on it.

Post by: Philbert on August 28, 2012, 05:38 PM: in the grand scheme of cranks they're shite

however I was always led to believe they were the best of the one piece cranks.

don't buy that one at £25 anyway, i've got one in the shed you can have for less, I've also got a odyssey black widow cd too to go with it
