newb Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have a T-Pro frame in my garage and i am building it up, the first things i need are cranks,and would not mind if a few people could give me ideas on what i need...I know i need... cranks arms, freewheel,chain,chainring and a bottom bracket. I would prefer for the cranks arms to be Tensile, but could have others depending onwhat other people think. For example, what bottom bracket do i need?please help me... thanks, Lewis!

Danny Kearns Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 In my opinion i would go for the zoo cranks with the zoo bashguard with SKF-BFR 300 bottom bracket, then the kmc kool chain and a ENO freewheel.Sound like a nice set-up to me.Dan.

Agreed, although I'd go with GU cranks and a tensile freewheel, just to save money, and not loose much quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 The stiffest Deng cranks are Echos. That's according to Mr Tart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm running the new echo bb and an ENO and echo cranks, when i first got it, it hit the frame. So i called tarty and they sent me the only cranks that fitted. Tensile legends. So tensiles, echo bb and eno for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Pitbull Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Tensiles are PURE SHIT!!!!!!!! if you buy Tensiles instead of Deng cranks your Crazy.....All the riders round here have had Tensiles and all 4 times they've snapped.

mat hudson Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 tensiles are far from pure shit, especially the urban legends that are a fair bit stronger. deng cranks have had a bit of a habbit of rounding/stripping in the past, dont know much about the new ones but i'd still go for tensile for quality.
