duane Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi, I am currently using an old set of RPM cranks on my base, however the left crank has rounded and rapidly comes loose no matter how much I tighten it. I have had a look on CRC, and another set of RPMs seems like the only budget option, can anyone suggest something else I should look at ? I am happy to live with either one or two chainrings, and while I have complete trust in the Middleburns on my control, the exchange rate from my money to yours is so bad - worst in 26 years - that they are no longer an option. I am currently running square taper if that makes any difference, Thanks Duane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I've beaten a pair of onza musclemans against walls for well over a year with no signs of breakage - they're only about 40 or 50 quid I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can get some forged echo cranks for that!My Musclemans we're crap, they really easily but then I got Echo forged cranks, they are much stiffer and have never come loose. And they're lighter.

liam-pantera Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 im sorry but u think that echo forged cranks are stronger than onza muscle man ?no the onza's are pure steel and i battered some for 2 years then gave them to my cuz for another 2 years of battering they say 8 freewheels and the only problem i had was a little creak wich oil fixed . and then we have echo forged cranks wich the threads strip my taper is so far gone that my cranks are at a 35 degree angle to eachouther there terrible the only advantage is weight but if u like them fair enough .oh and to the thread owner check out www.dreamcycles.co.uk for some realy cheap cranks they have isis bb's for £15 hope it helps you .

BIG Drew Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah, the echo forged are completely toss. I have mine still with a stripped non drive side pedal thread. I had the square taper ones and they were VERY flexy, felt absolutely awful. I still have my muscle man cranks that i brought second hand lying around. Go for a pair of them. Properly get a pair for £10-15 of here/ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza Kieron Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Jakers, you seem to love putting things in bold and caps lately, I was thinking of giving it a try, much fun?I see your from Dubai, got a mate who semi lives there (Yes he is rich) and I could maybe get him to take a pair of cranks to sell u from this forum..?Would cost you as much as new RPM's I believe...
