fyfey Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I've been running 2nd hand Echo CNC cranks (don't go near the forged ones) for a year with a Tensile freewheel and they've been great. Rigid, and can take some abuse too!Fyfey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyfey Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Pleeeeeeeease Justify posting that The majority are probably really good... I said it because a friend has gone through 2 sets. The pedal thread both times was badly stripped when changing the pedals. Might have been partly his fault maybe, he was damn careful when doing it though. I just would expect them to be stronger than that.Fyfey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Anything will do, I run Echo forged cranks and they feel nice and solid for me, and are forged like the Try-all's.Monty are also good forged cranks.To be quite honest it depends how much you want to spend, and the quality of the product you are after.

Or fork out for a more expensive pair and have them last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 i use echo forged cranks,i got them just till i could afford a better pair but i ended up sticking with them,i find them tons better than my old tensile urban legends that i snapped .these cranks have in my oppinion less flex,greater brake piston clearence and a fair bit cheaper than their compotition.i haven't seen white cranks,be individual and spray them steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been through a pair of Echo 6061's They came loose and the tapers f**ked up.Now I have decent quality cranks, they haven't come loose and haven't f**ked up like the Echo's.How about you thinking of shutting your mouth.Im not getting validated again, The Trials-Forum staff hate me, And fair play to themDont give me all this "I'm a full member and this is me patrosining you" bullshit.

The 7075 CNC's are fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use an echo crank personally as most riders I no use these and have not had any problems at all but in the end it’s all up to you as it’s your bike Jordan.
