N.Wood Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 My Try-All cranks have been excellent, light, stiff, good looking, and £99 if i remember correctly.You'll then need a bash and sprocket.Middleburns are still excellent cranks, too.

Julius Czar Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 himy friend had tensiles and the pedal inserts rounded off so he got the echo 6061 forged isis cranks, but i spoke to dan ko and he said that the onza muscle mans were better and stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I remember Shaun broke his too, blame him, it's the easiest way.But aside from that, Middleburn's all the way. If you are running a freehub/ rear freewheel that is.Lifetime warranty against downhill, jumping, trials etc. Spares easily available. Your looking at about £150 for arms, bash, sprocket and fixings/ bolts.Available in 16/ 18/ 20/ 22 tooth with bash.OR Echo CNC's are very popular. I'd stick 170mm to be honest. It gives a decent drive i find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Another vote for middleburns, if you cant stretch to a new pair then try to pick some up 2nd hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
control rob Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 helloi run the echo cnc cranks have had no problems with them, workin great!also would recommend middle burn cranks! as they are light weight and last a long time i still have my old pair, i switch to echo so i could have front free wheel.robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron.Tottman Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Cheers guys, don't think that i can afford the middleburns although verrrrRRRY temptin'. i'm running ISIS so there more like £165.what do people think of adament's CNC cranks? or dose any one own a pair?the more i lokk though i'll prob' get echo. don't know yet!!!AaRoN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'd never had bought them, but now I have them I have to say Middleburns! I think I have the Super Pro Trials ones, the older ones with the 16t TI bash, and they are really well machined and finished, and so stiff! I don't think I have ever ridden stiffer cranks.

javzi monty Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 echo 6061 forged isis/square taper cranksmost people i do trials with have them the are cheapish and descent i prefer them because i run ff (forward freewheel) come in isis and square taper £50 last i heard off although if your running sprocket get middleburns ive only heard good things about them (on this forum i mean i dont no anyone who owns them)hope ive helped jarvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decade Ago Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Middleburns all the way. I love my Middleburn cranks, the same set have seen me through 10 years of riding (with a small break in the middle) on countless different frames.
