Anyone have the Hollowbites or Substance?
-
Hollowbites and several Powerbites.

What do you think of the Hollows?
-
Never had an issue until recently with one of my pedals coming loose. But that might be to do with me keep trying 180s.
Also I try not to tighten the pedals up to much as have had issues in the past with the inserts undoing when removing pedals. I now locktite the inserts in and grease the pedal threads, might be part of the issue above. :LolLolLolLol:
-
Which pedals you using? How would you compare them with Twoms or Thunders?
-
Using Shadow ravenger plastic pedals.
Only ever used either Primo or Profile 3 piece cranks. Never tried the Odysseys.
The oddys just look complicated to me, I understand the theory but am drawn towards the simple things.
-
Twoms are good; never had any issues but I want to try the Hollows.
-
ive had 3 pairs of primos , and am waiting on the newer powerbites to come out ( http://themerged.com/spotted-primo-2pc-powerbite-crank/ ), as well as twombolts , and would hands down say the primos are by far the better cranks! must less stressful and i think better looking as well!
-
Interesting they've adopted for a 2 piece...they've just realised it's better...?!?!
-
Those 2 piece do look nice, :)
-
Profiles all the way for me. Got an inbuilt fear of any cranks with pinch-bolts since the cacka that were Redlines.
Did try out Primos, but my ankles didn't agree with the edges on em as my left ankle tends to ride up the crank arm.
-
Them Primo's look sweet
-
been running Primo copies (Prolite stealth cranks) for years now and love em :daumenhoch:
-
I've used Powerbites & Hollowbites since they came out pretty much. Yeah you can hit your ankles sometimes if you ride with your feet against the crank arms, and they'll creak a bit if you don't grease the spindle & nip the bolts up a certain way but once you've sussed that they rule! :daumenhoch:

I've got a pair of bsd substance cranks, they are really nice. Haven't exactly ridden them hard so I can't pass judgement. But they're well made and finished, beefy but not ridiculous, and grant smith is a legend in his own lunchtime..
