matt-richardson Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hey I'm trying to help a mate get a bike together and someone has offered me Onza MuscleMan Cranks for £42, seeing as this is more of a budget build are they worth it.Photo is here - http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2837998/cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley-Wood Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 no you can buy good cranks on here for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-richardson Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah i want to get him cheaper cranks but until i get validated i can't even dream of all the delightful purchases i can make haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 dont bother with them just wait till you get validated and get some from the for sale threadmuscleman cranks are poo if you cant wait till your validated get your self on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 One of the mods on here once told me that they never validated someone unless they started every sentence with a capital letter, ended it with a full stop and put I instead of i.Just some advice, not looking to start anything. (You look your doing pretty well actually anyway, just though it might help you get validated faster).£42 for muscleman cranks is extorsion though, you can get Echo 6061s for £50 brand new from tarty, and from my experience, they are just in another league! keep the cranks tight on the tapers from new and keep checking them, and they'll last for years.

matt-richardson Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah I know what your saying, been offered them for £45 with freewheel, bashring and bb including but think were going to take your advice and look elsewhere.Cheers for the help guys Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza boy27 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 No it is not worth it.1. You can get them brand new from tarty for around £50.2. For the price they are in a bad state.Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-richardson Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yeah my mates decided to go brand new, think he might be getting the Echo's the guy mentioned earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Fine cranks for a beginner, but for £42 i wouldn't even consider them...like has been said; wait till you're validated and get some off here.Should be able to pick up some echo cnc / tensiles for £30-35 or some echo forged for round £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Shields Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 LOL Andy is such a con-merchant they are good begginer cranks, wouldn't buy THESE for £42. just a tip from a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
