Title: What cranks?
Post by: brettnai on July 12, 2013, 03:46 PM

Need to get some new cranks for my build. Got about £100 max to spend.
Have seen United Nash cranks and Primo Powerbites on sale for about £90

Any other suggestions?

In my opinion I would steer clear of the powerbites.....

As nice as they are, the pedals weld into the arms over time and probably arent as strong as a cromo crank! Go tubular  :daumenhoch:

I run 48 spline Premium Products on my Mankind and theyve held up to the max!

Im pretty sure theyre around about the £100 mark too so as long as you dont go too cheap you should be ok whichever brand you choose  :daumenhoch:

What kind of rider are you? Hardcore or fairly gentle?

Thanks for the replies...
I'm liking the look of those Eclats!

I don't ride particularly hard, this will be daily hack to work bike / park ride
