Attn Bikers: Crank Suggestions?

Smasher · #1 05-10-2012, 06:37 PM

So I have a nice size crack in my crank I noticed today while building some dirt jumps.

I need some recommendations. BMX/Dirt jump cranks. Looking at freeride as well because they will be a bit beefer I hope. I have been looking at 1664, Stolen, Eastern and Profile cranks. I just don't know which to go for.

Edit: This is on a 2010 Specialized P1 dirt jumper. Its a 19mm spindle

I don't dirt jump but i run Race Face DH cranks on my dh bike and i swear by them dude. Maybe check them out? How wide's your bottom bracket? Or am i completely off due to the whole dirt jumper thing? Hahaha.

Your completely off lmao. I need single speed, 19mm bb.

I took it into my LBS(local bike shop), and the guy said it MIGHT be covered under warranty because it has cracked at a weld. If I can get it under warranty, I'm STOKED because it won't cost me...and money is tight. I'd probably paint them though, I want a bright ass colour on them. Haha.

I know you guys are going to bash me but I personally love my hussefelts, they have held up to me ridding street dirt and a bit of freeride and have taken huge hits without breaking, just my opinion tho!

Haha. Yeah i thought i was. I don't know jack when it comes to single speed and dirt jumpers and stuff. I just like me a bike with beefy suspension that goes fast downhill.

That'd be awesome if it was covered under warranty though! I never buy stuff from any of my LBS's cuz they're way overpriced. I just buy stuff online and install it myself.

Hussefelts aren't bad either! My buddy used to run them and he abused the crap out of them. Haha.

The only other crank i would run for dirt jumps would be some second hand saints, they are strong and you can find some used ones pretty heap, that is if you don't get warranty ones, I hear specialized is pretty good about warranties, second to giant

I run the older Saints on my other bike and they're pretty beefy too. I've actually never had to warranty anything, so i wouldn't know. And i've probably done way too much stuff to my Giant to have it warrantied anyway. Not to mention its about 8 years old.

The Foes is from 2000 and still going strong too. Knock on wood. Haha.
