It took 5 months waiting for me to get some new bb cups for it.i know i can get hold of MKII spares easier so i'd stay with them, i phoned up DMR after my lunch (which was when i snapped them ) they said to send the whole crank set back to them and they'll see what they can do for me ........ they did last me like 3 years mind, so the've taken some stickGet some profiles aint got the money for profiles also only a 90 day warrenty as they are competition cranks Edited January 24, 2006 by street trials rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 get some race face diabolous or "propper bmx cranks" not mtb attemps at bmx cranks i f**ked a set in a day, i was very unimpressed with them, poor quality bearings(rough as guts) and they didnt seem to 'feel' right either-flexy, didnt seem straight and the anodising wears off in nano seconds, and yes i did buy them new now awaiting racefaces response im really happy with my new saints, and i havent heard of any snapping yet-im sure some have though cos they are specced on some crazy ass freeriders bikes, but overall i would say they are the best mtb cranks outGet some mkIII's like i did they are uber strong, but be careful not to crush the bearings like me its a proper hastle getting parts. It took 5 months waiting for me to get some new bb cups for it.mk3s arent as strong apparently, mk2s were the best, i still have a set awaiting another trials bike ever thought about trying primo powerbites? they are pretty kickass and come in mtb bb i loved them on my old bmx, and from what ive heard they last fecking long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 but paul, powerbites are light. smack daddies would be pretty heavy, you'd probabley like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 ha ha mat, my new base is crazy light, its actually too light and i fall off cos i go too far on things still not used to it i guessbut the kona and commencal are a tad on the porky size, then again i need that kinda strength with all those headsets im cracking....... smack daddies?!?! jeeez they are like almost 2 kilos for the whole setup arent they? they are uber heffas either way im gettin powerbites on my 24, cos i want it too be ubbbbber strong and light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
