Post by: Trev on August 03, 2006, 05:18 PM: Remember at the Kelloggs in 85 which Wilkerson won? A trick which looked so basic and simple....his pedal spin......how difficult was that to do. It's a lot harder than it looks.

Trill spent about an hour last night trying to pull it, without success.

back then 1 pc cranks were considered more durable.
i ride on 1 pc cranks now. they are fine.
3 pc cranks look nicer though. but they cost so much more than a 1 pc.

wicked pics vinoah. ron is da man

Post by: bsdforever on August 06, 2006, 05:31 PM: the 3 piece cranks BITD were shit, redline 401s look great but were really never much good and cost loads esp. when they came with an unsealed BB!

profiles have alway been the best of the chromoly 3 piece
