Anyone used or heard of Counterfitt parts??
Been looking at their cranks £30 delivered :-\

They look exactly the same as the prolite ones they had before, same price too, so I'd imagine they are the same but branded differently.
I've got the prolites, they're great for the money, nice welds, tough paint, decent bolts etc.
worth a punt I reckon.

I bought a set like that but they were branded 'radio' poor quality cheap bolts. The axle was good but the arms needed serious force to get on. The bb cones were badly moulded plastic
Is ask the seller a lot of questions first
-
BMX CITY'S own brand i believe , they used to be Prolite before that i think? , good parts for the money :daumenhoch: , you can pay more than that for a bb on its own like everything else you get what you pay for, all the counterfitt stuff seems to be good value though
as jay says ask em first they're a friendly bunch at the shop
-
I agree.

Cheers fellas, I would love to buy top notch, but I have to watch the ££, I have most parts to build up my WTP Vurses, but don't want to have to rob the cranks off my KHE. Nice to have 2 bikes complete as a friend rides MTB and keeps saying he wants a bmx, so he can ride the parks with me instead of waiting his turn on my bike :LolLolLolLol:
I will send a few questions to the shop see what they say :daumenhoch:
-
great bunch at bmx city been buying off em for years and never had any bother at all, im sure 90% of 3pc cranks are made in the same place and rebranded :LolLolLolLol:
-
I'd wait for some secondhand profiles to come up they won't cost much more and those look like cheap sh1t!
-
never had a problem with any BMX City Prolite parts in my time.........I guess for the cashual rider they will do the job, after all they are £30 posted......you can't expect Profile quality for that.

What he said ::) but with bells on :daumenhoch:

I'm a cheapskate Cnut.. :LolLolLolLol:
Just got those cranks, a used stolen 25t sprocket and a new chain all for under £45 ^"^
The parts are building up nicely, now just need pedals, stem and rear brake and lever :4_17_5:
I guess time will tell on the quality of the cranks, but if you no try you never know :LolLolLolLol:
-
Seems a real bargain for the money! And that includes the bearings as well? Do they sell other colours? I would look myself but im using the web on my phone so it takes a while lol
-
They are fine. I have a set on my pub hack. Better than profiles in my opinion,. Decent materials and machining

Nice to hear :daumenhoch:
-
Definitely worth the money it seems!

What do you want them for? Are you a hard rider? I personally wouldn't use anything else, but that is my personal opinion :daumenhoch:

Going on the WTP, I'm not a hard rider, some ramp and street, but not 25 stair sets or 10ft rail grinds, I'm lucky if i can jump a pebble :2funny:

looks to me like one of the big taiwanese parts churners cottoned on to the fact that alot of their stock was becoming obsolete and offer someone a deal at a trade show,

:daumenhoch: If it keeps the price down It's all good with me :4_17_5:

All built up ready for a test run tomorrow, showing the cranks. Bit chunky and feel a bit weighty but look just the job :daumenhoch: (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/DSC_0039.jpg)

they're actually ok cranks for what they cost, generic clamp on 3-piece, might be worth taking the right sized allen keys out with you in casde they work loose when they're new, keep an eye on the bearings too,

I've not used the bearings as I have better ones already in the BB, but they will do as a spare set :daumenhoch: The only downside I can see is the crank bolts have a plastic end cap, where a smaller bolt goes through, I can see these getting eaten up pretty quick :-\ But as you say for the money, they ain't half bad :daumenhoch:
-
try these not sure if they will fit ?, got em on my twinchers take the rubber bit off n they look like old style flight bolts :daumenhoch:

Put it this way Brothers
I have a set of these cranks on my rider and i love 'em.
I got the deal where i got the cranks, BB and plastic Hamilton pedals for £34.99!
Slapped em on my United L40 and just rode hard with my usual 15stone flat bottom landings.
No Bends or creaks and never even came loose.
Keep the faith.L
