Title: New school 3 pce cranks
Post by: aditup2004 on March 17, 2006, 06:07 PM

Why do they look like they fell off the landing gear of a 747? They are hideous, the majority anyway. Wots Hot and wots Not? Cheers, Ad  :daumenhoch:

There is loads of good 3pc now Ad , but profile for me is the best out there still .

IMO I think it's a choice of three:

I ride Primo Hollowbites which are light and very good if you are going to do grinds (as they are alluminum, so can be polished out, rather than denting like Profiles) - i think they look great, but not to everyones taste.

Profiles are still great for general riding though and look cool.

I just bought a pair of new school Redline Flights for a build and was majorily impressed with the build and finish on them - and, of course, they are still the best looking crank out there.

Did you put enough grease on your shaft?

I've slipped the shaft in and out a couple of times greasing it up each time. Even had the cups and bearings out, greased and re-greased - still no joy  >:(

Ah, okay. Might need to empty the balls out and get some new ones then.
