abe Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I wouldnt bother with the montycranks. it just seems like a waste off money when its only cranks.you wont be saving much weight if you get them go for the echo cranks alext has put a link up for(echo). I have the square taper ones,if you want a bash guard I would get this echo bash in black or silver.spending ridiculous amounts of money on parts doesnt make you likely to be better.keep it cheap. black and silver would look good.

ted Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 i wont make a new topic for this but i want to know if these cranks are worth the money;Monty CranksThanks In a word, no.No to the cranks, well theyre nice, but i think youd be better off with these, and you can get diff colours Clickems got a pair myself.

Greetings Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Everything black + red hubs. Please don't buy all the parts in red, these colours look so gay. It's a bike not an art gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridport-Rider-Dave Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hey there, yes that is a lush frame i think all black may make it look abit heavy so in my opinion id go with black and green m8 GL with saving ur money for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Maniac Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I've decided i don't want an Adamant A3 because a lot of people have told me they are crap. I'm now thinking of getting a gu typhoon with blue rims hubs handlebars and cranks....They look a lot nicer aswell and also - so i have been told - ride a lot nicer than an Adamant A3. So yeah im going to get a gu typhoon mod equip it with zoo and echo parts and put on a pair of try-all stickys (I havn't tried them before so i'll give them a go)This topic can now be closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
