Title: Redline Cranks - Can anyone explain the differences?
Post by: funkyfresh on April 30, 2008, 05:03 PM

I've read the sticky over on BMXmuseum, but I'm not sure what full wrap means?

and are the double pinch viewed as superior to single pinch?

a new set don't look that different to me...

I'd like a set for a loop tail ripper, so what should i be looking for?
and are they always chrome?

Good point!!!

I fancy a pair of Flights but I haven't a clue!!!

There seems to be quite a few variations and I'm scared of spending the money only to find I've fooked up.

Will new flights fit OS?

How much would some flights cost?

Obviously I'm looking for the cheapest because I'm cheap.

Can I get them in White?

Do they always come with the bearings etc, etc as a full kit?

Are OS Flights better or worse than NS Flights?

Are Prolines the same as Flights?

I want a pair for my Quad Freestyler in White with 175mm arms.

Could I buy these off the shelf?

Is it Flites or Flights?

I never had some flights back in the day as my family were poor!!!  :'(

Lots and lots of questions.

If someone could take the time out to answer these questions I'd appreciate it.

Cheers!!  :daumenhoch:

There are always a few pairs for sale, look at spending circa £250 for full wrap 401's that might need a rechrome for show  :daumenhoch:
