Well. No one seemed to add it here :)

Just an update on the cranks.
Things are going strong for myself, but I have seen one harder rider kill a set. The bb axle basically twisted. This is not a huck to flat crank (are any? :P)

Anyways. theres also a new 2 ring version coming. It has a steel crank insert and a steel axle. Should be stronger, but if your hucking to splat go elsewhere.

I have some on my new DHR I've just built up and have had zero probs so far......Why not Saint? They won't fit in my Grip rack and the Hone cranks will!

"Of course this will also be a HOLLOWTECH II technology crankset with integrated bottom bracket for increased rigidity and lightweight design."

What is an intergrated bottom bracket?
Looks pretty sick!

Integrated BBs are when the axle is fixed to one side of the crankarm (Drive side for shimano, non drive side for Raceface) and the other is held on via pinchbolts (Shimano) or end caps (RF). This means you can run bigger bearings with an external BB cup and shes sweet.

it also places the bearing closer to the cranks and reduces the bending force on the bb shaft.
look i can faceplant
