Hey guyz,
wanna replace some crap Axiom bmx cranks or wateva.

So tell me, what makes these cranks so "crap"?

Mine have been to hell and back, and they are still as good as they were the day I got them!

Keep 'em till you break 'em!
If you don't like the colour of them, just take the paint off and polish them up, then you can pretend you have profiles if you like. :roll:

[rider03]

umm fsa have some good bmx cranks n u could either get them sealed all not. There is a big range of bmx cranks out

[Ty]

Profile Race, enough said, not as expensive as some people will lead you to believe if using a American/bmx BB.

[sifter]

Profile Race, enough said, not as expensive as some people will lead you to believe if using a American/bmx BB. if you only own one set of cranks in your lifetime, you want them to be profiles. failing that luftalarms are tres nice and i'm thinking about them as a swap between for my mtb and my bmx.

liquid chromo $350 new

done and done

[supros88]

i would recomend u spend the extra & get Profile ss, i have had a set for 3 years & they are by far the best cranks i have ever owned & they are the only cranks i have not bent including Profile Race RaceFace NS & Primo Powerbite, ect, ect.

they are worth the money!

[Daver]

don't worry fellas- his cranks are fine... he just wants to get new cranks just to have something new!!!!

[naz]

liquid chromo $350 new

done and done

HAAHAH there the exact same as axioms....

id say profiles/wethepeople or fsa smackdaddy's

[fastrider gus]

i got some diamondback D-cell BMX cranks... them shits are the bomb.. for the money they are unreal. $350 and you should get the cranks and a ring if you are lucky.

but if you can get profiles dont u dare hesitate...

[ride for life]

perv or azonic 454 look good

[fastrider gus]

BMX cranks dudes... liquid, azonic are MTB cranks.

[wombat]

Yeah, the Perv cranks look pretty beefy; how are they meant to hold up?

[sxereturn]

Axiom/DMR/Diamondback/We The People/Liquid - all those generic looking tubular 3 piece come from the FSA factory. They're pretty much the same cranks.

Go Profiles.

[Austen]

primo powerbite pro's are pretty good, i have them on my hoffman rhythm pro

[fastrider gus]

Axiom/DMR/Diamondback/We The People/Liquid - all those generic looking tubular 3 piece come from the FSA factory. They're pretty much the same cranks.

Go Profiles.

no way man! u seen wethepeoples? waaaay fatter than all of them. diamondback are totally different, they go square to round and are fatter 2.

[dutton04]

get on one/planet x cranks or DMR crisis or chieftains :wink: :wink:

[norco_nono]

BUY MY LIQUID CRANKS!!! $280. 4130 crmo, fucking strong!! $350 new, but these are unused, they are still in the box, have never been put on a bike before only $280. PM me :D

I think the point he's trying to make is that they're all just re-badged FSA cranks, not that they're all the 'same' cranks.

[kalem]

i got some, they well good. no probs.

[atomik_mulisha]

No way are the dmr's a copy, the chieftain mk2's r as qouted by dmr "unlike any other crankset currently available" and "100% puposes built to DMR's specifications".

[notb4dinner]

100% purpose built marketing bullshit??

[ride4fun]

profiles

[rubba-chikin]

I got race profiles on my bmx, can't bend the mofo's and they have been through a hell of a lot through the 3 or so years I have had em :)

I wouldn't bother with the SS cranks unless you are busting backflips over 40 foot doubles :)

[Daver]

profiles

[tj]

how much are profiles

[Ryan]

how much are profiles

Be more specific, there are quite a few models and variations of bottom bracket and spindle available in the Profile range...check out http://www.profileracing.com to get an idea.

[brodes]

dmr's

[fastrider gus]

DMR are fuckin MTB cranks!!! get it right you wang...
this dude wants BMX cranks!!!

[will4eva7k]

im selling my bike, might separate parts if enough parts will be sold, i duno/remeber what they are, the ones that come on 4hun, they are like perfect condition

[sxereturn]

Profile Race cranks with a regular BMX bottom bracket are $349 retail. You should be able to get them cheaper though.

[TOSS3R]

profiles give you lifetime warranty...any company that is big enoguh to say the you WILL NOT break them had got to have something going for it...they aren't too bad on the cost side either. nuf said.

Profile have an unconditional warranty? I was under the impression that they just had the same warranty that everyone else gives, which is against defects in workmanship and materials, NOT breakage; it's important to distinguish between the two.

Odyssey however do have an unconditional warranty on their 41 thermal cranks; they're Profile compatible I believe too...

[Tankass]

get profiles /demolition /snafu.if u mind the weight,get demolition alu /primo powerbite/ black widow cranks.

[sxereturn]

^HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[Tankass]

erm..i think its enough of the arguement on the warranty of profiles.
so far how many have yet to break a set of profile ss?or rather say .profiles racing cranks?over the years ,so many pple are using profiles over many other choice of crmo cranks.and how bout a comparison over the ratio of breakage on profiles to others(wethepeople,dmr,etcetcetc)????

[sxereturn]

What the hell are you talking about?

I just thought it was quite funny you recommended Snafu and Black Widow cranks.

[fastrider gus]

same... wtf???

profiles have a lifetime warrenty on arms and spindle..

[Tankass]

i have lotsa friends using snafu cranks on their bmx.they wack them like stolen bikes.and seems that non had failed.black widow cranks are tough as well.i m toking bout the new ones.not the old skool flatland kinda black widow cranks.get it?

[sxereturn]

Yes, they're called Phat's.

Just buy Profiles.

[fastrider gus]

ally cranks are for twitts... go cromo.. ally just isnt as durable as cromo. your mates snafu's might be ok for now, but when he pounds them a little more (if he does ride them hard) they wont last long..

[wombat]

profiles have a lifetime warrenty on arms and spindle..

But what sort of warranty???

Oh, and Tankass, I saw a set of dead profile's a couple of weeks ago.

[roasted]

enough!!!!!!!!!!!!


www.unrealcycles.com will tell you all you need for bmx or mtb cromo cranks

now stop it!

[sxereturn]

Wombat - it depends on which Profile crank. If it's the race crank, they will replace it if there is no signs of street/skatepark abuse (grind damage). DJ's and SS are unconditional.

[fastrider gus]

i know a few dudes that have totalled profiles... nothing is unbreakable... some are just easier than others...

Cheers, that's the answer I was looking for.

[5PIDEY]

man axiom cranks are heaps strong, mine are tripple butted cromo and theve been through hell and they are fine, but if you want something strong go the profiles.

[Rik]

I'm interested in the Felt 2pce cranks they have now, anyone seen them? They look very shmick, but I haven't heard about any real-life use yet.
